The first restaurant listing is dated: Annis Bros, 1916–17. "Restaurant and confectionery" — the village's first eating-house line in the directories (the banked roster owns it). The modern premises: School House Diner, 601 N Michigan St, seated in the former school cafeteria inside the Palmer Community Complex (Visit South Bend, 29 August 2025, updated 5 August 2026), its Friday fish fry its listed institution; hours variance between listings printed, not settled. At the same address, gift-card listings carry a "Yellow Cat Cafe at the School House" — an unmerged name sighting, succession not established; the diner's opening and succession course is a named gap. Lakeville One Stop, 110 N. Michigan St, stands at press strength (a Tribune health-inspection roundup, 16 December 2025). The institutions beyond premises: the UMC turkey supper, the Lions' fish fry (1949– ), tenderloin fry, and pancake breakfasts, the 4-H Fair food booth (1944– ) at pointer to the fair's file. No Lakeville-branded food product exists in any carrier reached — tested negative.
