Calico County was conceived in 1984 by G.E. and Carole Laroche. The emphasis of the restaurant was hearty portions of traditional American fare that was cooked from scratch and served in a nostalgic atmosphere.

For more than 23 years, Calico County has been known for exactly those things in addition to their incredible complimentary cinnamon rolls. During that time, without ever compromising its unequaled quality, the eatery has increased the size of the menu and added a daily home-cooked breakfast in 1993. Also, during that time span, the Laroche's son, Lance and their financial controller, Scott F. Blair were added as partners. These four principals put a combined 91 years of restaurant

experience to the task of maintaining the Home Cooked Goodness, for which Calico County is famous, and they have won countless awards along the way.
