We had Rafters cater our wedding and it was a perfect experience. Kim was extremely thorough and helpful throughout the planning process. They showed up on the day of and knocked it out of the park. Our guests enjoyed the food and the service was top notch. Highly recommended!

The service was very quick and friendly and the food was excellent. We had the beer battered fish and they were thick and tasty.

Stopped in as we were passing through the region. An absolute gem tucked away in the countryside.
Hubby had the maple bourbon burger. I had the tex-mex salad.
We shared a half order of the hay stack onions.
Our server was very attentive and courteous.

I love the laid-back atmosphere of this restaurant. The food was tasty, there's a very nice on-tap beer selection, and you can watch sports from the bar section of the restaurant. Service was friendly and attentive.
Vegetarian options: There were only a few options for a vegetarian when I went to the restaurant. I saw a couple appetizers that would work for me; a vegetarian could also cobble together some side dishes and a salad to make a meal.
Parking: There is a lot of free parking around the restaurant.
Kid-friendliness: This is a very kid-friendly environment.

Not much to choose from. And they expect you to tip at least 18%.( I have no problem tipping but I'll be the one who decides.

This place has a great atmosphere and plenty of space for parties. They even offer their own beer from the area.
Jacque was a great server! Easy meal with kids and an enjoyable atmosphere.

Out in that area and thought we would try it. Glad we did, I would recommend the fish. Our server Emma did an excellent job.
Definitely would make the trip back.

We frequent this establishment quite often, and usually have a decent meal. On Saturday May 25th we did not. Ordered a filet medium with salad & baked potatoe. The salad had brown and wilted lettuce in it and my filet looked like a black tire, I 'm pretty sure I have yet to have a good filet here.....there was no pink to be seen. We complained and they took it off the bill. Took us 3 times to get a glass of water......and Why did you take steak bites of the menu??
How do your onion rings come out 1 second after you order them??
On a good note....my husband said his prime rib was ok?
