Das Dutchman Essenhaus was founded on January 4, 1971 by Bob and Sue Miller of Sugarcreek, Ohio. Rich in Christian values, Bob and Sue transformed the former 24-hour truck stop, Everett’s Highway Inn, to a smoke-free, 120-seat diner, closed on Sundays in an effort to give their employees a day of rest, time for worship, and family fellowship. Today, Bob and Sue’s children maintain the daily operations of the now world-renowned, largest family restaurant in Indiana.
