Sadly Selvin General Store has been going down hill over the past several months.
Went for breakfast with my Wife today. Entered the restaurant at 8:30, got menus at 8:40. They were busy, so no problem so far. Order was taken at 8:45…so far so good. This is when the wheels started coming off the rims. Waiting, waiting, waiting…finally asked our waitress to check on our order at 9:30, shared with her we’d been in the restaurant for an hour at this point…the response I got “I know, we’re running behind”.
A couple who had been waiting before we arrived finally got their food and our waitress said we’d be next up Well, that didn’t work out…two tables that came in 30 and 40 minutes after we first arrived got their orders and we’re still waiting. We finally got our food at 9:45….an hour and 15 minutes after we arrived and a full hour after we had ordered (between us both we had 4 eggs, Hashbrowns, 2 pancakes and 3 strips of bacon…nothing to exotic) When the food arrived the Hashbrowns were either burnt or not cooked, bacon was bunt on one end and nearly raw on the other and the eggs were overcooked.

We went to Holiday World, and as we were leaving to go home, we got breakfast here. It is a very nice, cozy place! Plenty of seating without feeling too crowded. Any potato dish (I got the shredded hashbrowns and my mom got the fried potatos) was AMAZING!! The eggs were also very good. The gravy is okay. The toast was not warm, but still good and buttered nicely! The sourdough bread is very very good. The bacon wasn't warm and it was chewy, but it was still good. The pancake was very good, but I put a little too much syrup on it, and the syrup is very sweet. The service was very good!! We didn't get the waitress' name, but she was very nice and attentive. Never needed to get her attention, as she frequently checked in on us. Our cups were never empty, and she was awesome. The TV played old black-and-white shows, and the decor was so cute! The food took a little long, but it was worth it! Would definitely...

I've eaten here three times now, had the biscuits and gravy each time. The first time food arrived after 30 minutes; second time, 45 minutes; today it took 1 hr 20 minutes. Waitress told me one cook had never done breakfast before, and one cook didn't show for work! This place might be suffering from its own popularity, as it was more crowded each time I arrived.
The food is tasty and very well-priced, and the waitresses served with smiles though they were running their collective tails off. I know how hard it is to find good kitchen staff and I hope this improves. Definitely worth a visit, but get...
