We used to love Machine Shed. Don’t know what happened or if today was just an off day but it was NOT good.My husband had a harvest skillet and it was a watery mess. To top it off, the sausage tasted like it had gone bad. He had me try it and the second I tried to take a bite I immediately had to spit it out. It was nasty. The hash brown casserole in the skillet was bland and flavorless. He left it unfinished.I had a breakfast wrap and it was so soggy it fell apart before I could even finish it.Coffee was so watered down we didn’t even stay to finish our coffee.We left and immediately crossed the street to Burger King to get my husband something else to eat.The only positive was our kids loved their pancake and cinnamon roll, and that our server was wonderful. She was too nice for us to complain to.

My wife and daughter have been to this restaurant before and demanded to return there today. I was very pleasantly surprised at how well the food was and the atmosphere of the restaurant. The service was splendid also even though we were there early and only a few of us were in the restaurant I still recommend this location. My last note is make sure you keep room for Pie!!! I had the banana cream pie and it was out of this world my daughter and wife had 2 other pies and they thought the same about theirs. I definitely will return when I get a chance.Wheelchair accessibility: Many handicap parking spots outside front door.

OMG how have I not eaten here before?! The food was phenomenal! The portions serve to you will not disappoint, the staff is so very friendly and attentive, and you got to check out the gift shop before or after you're seated to eat! The Machine Shed Restaurant is definitely going on our list MUST-EATS! I wish I had a picture of my breakfast to wow and amaze you but it was so dang good I gobbled it down!

I waitress was a bit rude, other then that our food was good. I've been here a few times, I find there breakfast and dinner are the best. Lunch has a narrow menu.
