Heinbockel Inn Bar & Grill opened in 1929. It was located on Bethel Rd. At that time it was a railroad stop for good food and drinks. In 1947 the building was cut into four sections and moved to Finck Rd, then put back together where it stands today. The Heinbockel’s the original owners were known as friendly kind people. Mrs. Heinbockel worked mostly in the kitchen preparing wonderful meals. She always made sure her customers ate well and took care of them. The customers loved her.

Heinbockel Inn Bar & Grill is now owned and operated by Randy & Yong Simas. They continue the tradition the Heinbockel’s started. A variety of appetizers, pizza, burgers and Korean BBQ are available as well as draft beer, a variety of bottled beers and mixed drinks. 

In 1982 was the first Crawdad race, which is now an annual event in it’s 27^th year. In 1984 a man by the name of Dick Varian wrote an entertaining poem about this event. (Please See Heinbockel Poem) This event is great fun for the whole family. The annual crawdad feast is a wonderful treat after the races. Come join in on all the fun!!!

This years race will be held on September 20, 2009 Followed by the Crawdad Feast.
