“We were just passing through on our way home to another part of the state when we came across this club house restaurant, and we're glad we did. They were celebrating 5 years in business with a band and a buffet. We ordered from the menu and the food was good. The service was prompt and very friendly. Just a nice place. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in.“

“I had a very good experience going here and they have very good food! Thank you!“

“There’s so much to like about this place. You come in through a garden type atmosphere with an enclosed bar, plenty of seating and sometimes outdoor entertainment. The water tower in the back is the cherry on top. It’s not like your traditional sit down restaurant as you come in, order and take your number and find your seat in a variety of places. There is a pool and arcade room to your left, traditional horseshoe bar to the right then as you go further more seating with a lounge type seating area. Behind that are two private rooms with pool tables and seating. The food is reasonably priced and yummy. The staff is great and suitable for families as well as a nightlife spot for singes. Definitely worth trying out for yourself!“

“Charles is amazing“

“The food was scrummy! Mildred and New Deal are conjoint twin restaurants. This one tries for a hip yuppy vibe but could be cleaner - Mildred is table cloth, napkins and seniors. If seniors with oxygen tubes eat there, I will trust the safety of their food. A couple of different vegetarian options at New Deal but not so much at Mildred. The waitress also told us later that they could make many Of Mildred 's vegetarian. The pumpkin cheesecake was amazing, better than cheesecake factory. The coconut pineapple cake was okay. 8$ a slice for canned pineapples and not a layer of pineapple jam? Mch mch mch.“

There is always entertainment of some sort. Management tolerates zero shenanigans and yet will still go out of their way to make you happy.“
