Probably the 5th or 6th time we ate there. Simply great home cooked food , didn't know you could get chicken gizzard's tender but they know the trick ,had their tenderloin sandwich, best I've had , not a thin piece of cardboard like most places, this place is awesome,

We stopped in last Saturday. Everything was phenomenal! It’s about a 30 minute drive from us but will definitely be putting it on our list of places to eat. Would recommend 100 percent. Excellent service, food, atmosphere. See you soon!

This was our breakfast stop during our St Jude Run! They had a buffet breakfast setup for us which was so tasty! The hash browns were seasoned perfectly and don’t even get me started on their biscuits! After breakfast I got to immediately run! #StJudeRuns2024

This is one the premier restaurants in the Emden area. The food is out of this world and the specials are very convenient and in par with the rest of the food. The staff is very nice and the type of small town friendly you look for in a place like this. Todd is a very good cook and he is even bringing some new cooks under his wing.#WELOVETODD

Me and my son ordered gizzards to go with choice of 2 side dishes. Unreal amount of choices for side dishes. Absolutely the best gizzards I have ever had! I have had gizzards from lots of places in my life, but nothing ever even close to as good tasting, and tender as these. Highly recommend trying these out! I will order often now.

Yesterday my father and I visited Dovetail Inn for lunch around 12:30ish. This was his 2nd time visiting ( he couldn't recall what he had the 1st time) and this was my 1st time. Walking in for the first time it was tastefully decorated with decor and there seemed to be plenty of seating for larger crowds. There were roughly 10-15 other guests spread out at the tables and bar stools. There were specials listed on the board which my dad went for ( half sandwich & bean soup) while I chose the smash burger with fries. They also had cottage cheese as a side which is my go-to appetizer/side over salad, etc. It was a good sized portion. Not every restaurant has cottage cheese as an option so they already got a star just for having that. Service was fast and the waitress was very friendly. Now here is why Dovetail Inn got 5 stars. The smash burger was a smashing success! Served on lightly toasted ( buttered?) ciabatta bun with melted cheddar cheese with lettuce/mayo toppings, the burger was one of the best I have ever had and I get a burger literally everywhere I go. The burger itself had great flavor and was seared to perfection. I rarely give a burger 5 stars but this had me salivating for more. I rarely eat an entire meal in 1 sitting but this burger couldn't wait to be devoured. It was so good I woke up the next morning and was still thinking about that burger! The french fries were bubbly and very similar to other places I have visited. Very solid fry. I shared some with my dad who devoured his meal before I was done with mine. We learned the tomatoes are freshly picked from the garden of the owner. They have delicious deserts available but we were too stuffed to enjoy those this time around.( deserts are made in-house and from a local popular bakery) Emden might be out of the way for most people but it's well worth the drive! The only minor complaint came from my dad who said the tap water didn't taste right and he only could take a couple of sips. I on the other hand drank my entire glass of tap water. You go there for the food not the drinks. My suggestion is to get a soda, tea or bring your own bottled water instead, if you are a water critic like him haha. They have a vest menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I really want to try the fried chicken next time I visit because I will be back!
Food was amazing
