We stopped for lunch on a Saturday and had the lunch special, fish and chips w the bean bar for $13. They were really busy and we waited about 15 minutes for a table. Server was very good but they appeared to be understaffed. Hushpuppies came out first, very good and light. The bean bar was a nice surprise, and turned out to be the star, pinto beans well seasoned with slaw and pickled green tomatoes. Both slaw and tomatoes were sweet—they like sugar here. The fish and chips arrived and the portions were not very generous nor was the presentation on the plate appealing. The cod looked like someone opened a box of Mrs. Paul’s filets, then overcooked them. The batter coating was hard and thick, but the cod was mushy and seemed undercooked, like the oil was too hot and overcooked the batter but left the fish raw. The cod had a fishy taste and neither of us finished our plates. Note to self: Don’t order ocean fish at a small restaurant 1,000 miles from where it was caught. It’s going to be frozen and therefore mushy when it’s fried. The dining hall is a cavernous open room with no appealing decor other than a nice saltwater aquarium. Nice servers, no decor, meh food.

Out waitress has always been nice and attentive. Food here seems expensive for what you get. Two small chicken strips and a baked potato were $14, plus drink and taxes. I thought the chicken strips tasted good. It also took a long time to get our order even though it wasn't very busy. The hubs ordered chicken fried chicken and said it was not good and didn't finish it (he is not hard to please). His meal included mashed potatoes and was $18. The beans on the bean bar are the best part and are very good. We prefer savory hushpuppies and these are more like sweet bread. Overall, we feel we will not choose this place again. This was our third time to eat here in the past year. The fish is good, the steak is pretty good. We just feel we can get better value and quality at some of the other places in town.

Disappointed with the way the meal ended. I told the waitress that the piece of cake I got for $8 looked a little small but she walked off like I never said anything. Spent $120 on a meal for 3 people and I get ignored. Won’t go back here again.

Not a lot of places to eat around Hebur Springs but most of them are pretty decent. Mack's has a great steak, salad and bean bar.

I recently came in for a early dinner. The food was good my steak was overcooked ( its hard to get a rare steak) . My issue is with the server with the black long ponytail. I payed with cash 100.00 she gave me change back so I had no option on how to tip her ( extortion). This has happened to me before, it may be a trend with servers now? I'm a generous tipper but like to choose myself the amount equal to my service.

My wife, my son and I went into the restaurant with another couple and child for a table of six. While walking in the child got sick and was resting in the car and the hostess would not seat us until our party was fully there even though they were here. They tried to sit us at a table of 4 but we refused. Trash staff, don’t waste your time!

They have the best Chefs Salad in Heber hands down. However, I did order a salad and a slice of cake and my total ended up being $30... So, there's that. The desserts are great as well.
