Searched and found this little gem of a restaurant when we got hungry while taking a scenic drive up 79. It's a fairly typical small town restaurant, tables, chairs, nothing fancy. Family friendly. They have a small fresh salad bar and even a small hot food bar. An impressive variety of menu selections! We shared everything we ordered. The thinly-sliced Fried Pickle Chips appetizer seemed hand-breaded, maybe beer battered?, (definitely NOT gritty cornmeal), and it was just the right amount of breading. They were piping hot and really good! (included ranch for dipping).
We also ordered a Steak Sandwich with Dinner Fries. The sandwich came with grilled onions and mushrooms on a hoagie type roll. It was SO full of flavor, completely delicious!!! Would definitely order again! The flavorful marbling in the meat made it harder to take a clean bite, so I just cut up the meat and put it right back on the bun, it was wonderful!
Also ordered Fried Shrimp and Clams dinner, came with 1 side, chose homemade chips, and it included 1 trip to salad bar.
Salad was cold and fresh! Good selection of toppings and dressings. Iceberg lettuce, fresh mushroom slices, onions, hard boiled egg chunks, both black and green olives, shredded cheese, cottage cheese, watermelon chunks, and I can't even remember what else, endless combinations for a truly tasty salad! Chose the Peppercorn dressing. It was a truly tasty and refreshing salad. (Hint: I saved a few watermelon chunks to eat as dessert, yum!)
The Fried Baby Shrimp and Fried Clams (fairly small sized), with our side choice of the Homemade Potato Chips were all good too, but fairly typical.
Before we ordered, we had asked the waitress for any recommendations and popular items, she said hands down the Steak Sandwich, also Monterey Chicken, and the Pork Filet were all really very good. Can't wait to come back and try the others!!!
Service was fast and very friendly (Friday 730pm)....
Read moreThey need a new wait staff. I will say the food is great, but the service is some of the worst I’ve seen. And this is not just a one time experience, but three separate occasions. We love the food, but sadly won’t be back. We were there last night and it was just the last straw. We had to get up and ask for refills and order our Togo order, and the waitress was behind the counter counting her tips instead of taking care of us. My husband never got the beer he ordered. The first two times we ate there, we had a young, blonde waitress who acted like she had much better things to do than to be there. She was smug and not helpful at all. Even worse, the owner has been there all three times and these only stepped in to help one out of the three times we were there. It seems they are all more concerned with closing down and getting out of there early than taking care of customers. We are really good tippers too, so that is not the problem. We will tip 30-40% for...
Read moreVery disappointed on Sundays buffet. Arrived at 1:20 pm. Salad bar was good. Servers kept walking around, no one refilled our drinks. Fried chicken, only a couple of pieces. The pan of fried chicken the whole time while sitting and eating was never filled....and our bill was $27.00, plus for two people. We sure did not get our moneys worth. Toward the end of our meal the server asked if I wanted my drink to go, and asked I asked the server, if they were putting any more chicken out. The server went back to the kitchen to find out and came back and said it will be 20 more minutes. By then, we were ready to go, then 2:15 pm. There were still customers left in the restaurant, also waiting for the cook to put more chicken out. We don't care...
