Two Scotty's to reopen as Detour American Grilles

Back to TopCommentsE-mailPrint

The soon-to-close Scotty’s Lakehouse restaurant in Geist and Scotty’s Burger Joint in Columbus will reopen in January as outlets of Detour American Grille & Bar.

Fishers-based MSCB Group, which owns the two restaurants, announced the change Friday.

Indianapolis-based A Pots & Pans Production runs the current restaurants under contract with MSCB. But the two companies said this week those contracts are being terminated, and the existing eateries will close Dec. 31.

A Pots & Pans also owns the Scotty’s Brewhouse format, which has six locations in Indiana and recently signed letters of intent to open two more.

The Detour American Grilles will be operated by Carmel-based Detour Franchising, which already operates a restaurant at Keystone at the Crossing and another in Carmel.

MSCB co-owner Mark Maddox, a founder of the law firm Maddox Hargett & Caruso in Fishers, said his company terminated its contracts with A Pots & Pans because of “financial-management-related issued.” He did not elaborate.

  • Agree, yuck
    I've eaten at Detour in Carmel twice and not impressed either time.
  • Yuck
    This is a step in the wrong direction in my opinion. Ate at Detour in Carmel once & never again. I'll miss the Lakehouse and their weekend brunch...

    1. Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.

    2. Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.

    3. I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.

    4. The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

    5. I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
