It would be great like it used to be but there are homeless scary people that clamor around here

This cafe is attached to the hotel and host the complimentary breakfast. It is served in buffet style warming trays but everything was prepared in small batches fresh off the grill. Everything was tasty enough for me to let the cook (Jason) know. The young lady out front (I should have got her name) was very pleasant and kept my coffee topped up. I will definitely go back for my evening meals after work!
Dinners have proven to be really good as well. Straight forward menu at reasonable prices. The cook even takes some pride in presentation. Waitress (Angie) was very attentive on things like topping up my glass of pop before I asked without being intrusive. Also greets you with a nice smile. Not sure why this place is not busier. Especially with the deal for people staying at the hotel. I have mixed emotions on the hotel management at the moment but will leave that one alone

The bartender's done interact with the customers. Bought a the drink and never got my change back bartender automatically assumed that it was theirs. Maybe coming from an industry where I'm around customer service bars, casinos, I expect a lot more but... Basic customer service basic bartender etiquette

Quiet spot for a quick bite to eat and good range of menu items. Food was very nice. Very clean and relaxed atmosphere. Service was good.

Love this place!! If your I to kareoke then this is the go to. The dj makes it a point to remember names and always greets the return customers by name. There's an atmosphere that almost feels like your at your families for dinner and music and dancing. You can play a game of pool while your on the list waiting to sing. Nobody has to be bashful or nervous ther because they make you feel Important to them not just another customer. Go give it a try or just having a goodtime listening to the folks si going, I promise you will enjoy yourself. See u there!!

Friendly server. Good breakfast. Nothing fancy but we enjoyed the food and the servers came over to top up our coffee a couple of times.

We were walking from The Palace to our hotel and dropped into the Junction Lounge for a final drink. The bar person was very pleasant and efficient. It was early and we were the only patrons for 15 minutes or so, then the crowd started slowly rolling in. This seem very much like a locals hangout. The people were friendly, but here is a ‘karaoke crowd’, and there is everyone else - we fit into the later. On another night, this place could have been just what we needed.

My husband and I purchased meal tickets from our hotel next door and came here for dinner. The food was just enough and so wonderful. It had that "hole in the wall, great grandmas cooking passion and recipe" taste. The waiter was so sweet and checked on us and made us feel at home. My darling hubby left our key in the seat and the waiter was on his way to meet us at the hotel when we realized we didn't have it. Such a sweetie! Definitely recommend!!

The waitress told us and others as she coughed on all the food (Did not eat it)she just needed a drink to get through the morning.

I came here four times for breakfast as I had free breakfast vouchers from staying at the Red Lion Hotel. They offer a little breakfast buffet that won't have ballads written about it, but will certainly get your day going. The buffet comes with sausage, bacon, shoestring like potatoes, scrambled eggs, and small pancakes. They also offer water, orange juice, tea, and coffee. If you ask for some, they'll bring you toast. You help yourself to as much food as you want and the helpful waitresses will be around to refill drinks or assist in any other way. I generally put a lot of ketchup and/or hot sauce on my food since it was pretty bland.

We arrived at the adjacent hotel and wanted to get something to eat for lunch. There was nobody but the bar tender in the dinning area. She was very nice. We ordered sandwiches and it took almost 45 minutes because the cook was late. When we got the food, I felt like I was eating a sandwich made for a child. Plain white bread, not normal roll type, with 2 pieces of paper thin meat and lettuce and tomato thrown in. The potato salad was good but that's what happens when you buy it already made from a vendor. My husband was still hungry after his small sandwich so he ordered a piece of apple pie. Again, the piece was about 2 to 3 inches wide, I think more on the 2" side and mushy. We paid 30.00 for that meal! Never again.
