Saltsman's Hotel — Restaurant in Town of Ephratah

We first ate at Saltsman's about six years ago. At that time, the food was excellent. I remember even complimenting the coleslaw. Last year, my wife had the fried chicken which was tough from too much breading and cooked too long. Still we were excited about dining at Saltsman's again last Saturday evening. Parking, as usually, was difficult especially for my wife who is handicapped. We ordered drinks but my wife's margarita did not taste like a margarita. We were seated at a tiny table in the corner although there were plenty of larger tables available and the restaurant was never more than half full. (Within a few minutes a young couple were seated at a table for four right next to us.) The water pitcher, butter and condiments had to be placed on a shelf nearby. Eating was physically difficult and my wife finally knocked over a glass of water at the end of the meal. The first course, coleslaw, was mediocre.

I strongly recommend the lamb chops.

Service is always prompt, efficient and good. When you arrive you place your order for the main course before you are seated, very retro, but it also gives you time to check out the...

Went for dinner here on Sunday. First time. I have to say that everything was outstanding. You will not go away hungry. The food was delicious. The chicken and rice soup was the best soup I have ever had out. The creamed onions and potatoes were great. I combined my together. Our waitress was friendly and prompt. I would have done 5 stars but being new we shocked about ordering in the waiting area. Sad to here it's seasonal. But will definitely go back...
