“Went here for lunch. Friendly staff, there was a bit of a wait, but we were seated quickly. Even for being busy, our server was attentive. I can't say I was impressed with the taste of the food. Big portion sizes, though. My chicken sandwich was just sloppy, dry dispite hot sauce, and the breading was thin and not very tasteful. I've seen great breakfast reviews though, so maybe I just got the wrong thing.“

“Good BBQ for a good price.We're Outside is off the beaten path, but it is easy to find. It's just a little shed and you order at one window from the outside and pick your food up at the next window. They have a huge patio if you want to eat on location, but it is not pet friendly.I 'm a fan of Pork Steaks, so that is what I ordered on my first visit. It was fork tender, I could pull off a bite without using a knife. The flavor was good and not over sauced. All their side dishes are housemate and delicious. My sides were; Mac-n-Cheese and Potato Salad. The Mac-n-Cheese was rich and creamy, but for me it needed more pepper (easy fix). My Potato Salad was one of the best that I have had at a BBQ joint.The young lady working the order window was friendly and answered my questions professionally. Owner is usually on site from what I have heard and he to was pleasant to talk with.This location is convenient for me and I'll probably become a regular. So, when you go to give it a try, we may cross paths.“

“Charges a debit card fee :-(Two Rules That Prohibit Debit Card SurchargesThere are two sets of rules and regulations that prohibit surcharging when the customer pays by debit card (or a prepaid card). First of all, credit card brands such as Visa and MasterCard do not allow it, so debit card surcharges will violate the contract the merchant has with those companies. That can result in fines, and if the breach of contract continues or is serious enough the merchant risks losing the ability to accept those credit cards. The other restriction is because surcharging on debit card purchases is illegal under federal law. This law was part of the larger package of financial reform regulations called the Durbin Amendment, which was passed in the wake of the Great Recession.“

“We both had horseshoes which were delicious. The burgers tasted like ground sirloin. The waitress said 2 sides. I asked what the sides were and I chose salad. She immediately took my friend's order and did not give the opportunity for me to choose my second side. She brought out or entrees and check and never returned. My friend needed a refill on her drink. She put her glass at the edge of the table however, pur waitress never came back. She walked past us a couple of times but never even looked at us. We had to request to go boxes from another employee. Terrible customer service from our waitress. Good thing the food was good because customer service was the worst.“

“This place gives the mom and pop restaurant feel. Comfortable and kind of small. I ordered a waffle, bacon and scrambled cheese. Everything I ordered was good. My friend ordered beef hash, hash browns and scrambled eggs. He was happy with his meal as well. Prices were reasonable. You pay your bill at the front register. That area gets a little congested as it's also where people enter and wait to be seated. The staff was nice. I recommend giving this place a try.“

“Stopped by here for breakfast. Have eaten here a few times over the past couple of years. My wife use to eat here when her grandparents lived down the road. Inside is nicely decorated for a old style inn feeling. Was greeted as we walked in and told to sit where we wanted. Staff was friendly and the food was good. While we were eating one of the waitresses, not ours, decided that she needed to fill the jelly holders on everyone's table that was there eating. Ours was missing only three jelly containers. Didn't really understand the urgency for that since it was sitting by my plate of food. Overall it was a nice visit, our waitress was friendly and we will definitely go back again.“

“We stopped in this past weekend and as the weather was pleasant, opted to eat in the outdoor patio area. The expansive outdoor/covered seating offered a chance to enjoy a gentle breeze with our meal. We ordered the beef Philly and plain burger. Most Philly cheesesteaks are thinly sliced but the B&H version had flavorful chunks of meat instead, which were well-seasoned and complemented by their excellent fries. The burger was loaded with fresh toppings and cooked exactly to order. Our server paid exceptional attention to her tables and made certain we were taken care of. I believe we'll be stopping by again next time we're in the area.“
