Stopped on a whim while traveling. This place is fantastic. The atmosphere doesn't match the food.

When I say this Cuban sandwich was pressed to perfection I mean it and you n ow what that means…. I traveled from Cincy and located this beautiful establishment, fast seating, happy employees and the food was incredible….. the fries were out of this world…. I can’t say enough good comments about this establishment!

Their food is made fresh. It isn't boxed or canned food. They have fast and attentive service. I highly recommend giving them a try!

This was our first time here but won't be our last. The food was delicious. I ordered the Chicken Wellington. It was a large serving. It was creamy, bacony, and the chicken was cooked through while still moist. Everyone in our group of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Our server, Sue, was attentive and friendly. She did such a great job of taking care of us.

Dine in Dinner first visit.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, Locally Owned Small Business.. HIDDEN GEM! party of 7 (5 adults,1 toddler & 1 infant).. Staff was very friendly & when asked questions about some of the menu items preparation due to dietary concerns of some of the party they happily went to ask the cooks to get the answers vs having a negative response to such questions. SUE is lovely, professional & cares about her job & it shows. The atmosphere is very welcoming & relaxed. The restaurant is very clean including the exposed duct work, lighting fixtures & decor in the dining room which are difficult areas to keep clean & you can tell that things like the menus & the cool wooden condiment caddies on each table are cleaned & stocked with rotated items daily. They look brand new. My only criticism is that it was difficult to hear due to the acoustics. The volume was low or off on the mounted Tv's & it was not busy but I had a hard time hearing the people I was eating with. Ok sooo. The menu.. the food totally exceeded my expectations. It has a wonderful mix of Midwest comfort foods like Pot Roast, Meatloaf, Fried Chicken, Chicken Fried Chicken, Chicken Fried Steak, Beef Liver with Bacon, & many more options along those lines PLUS they have several Greek dishes, Italian Dishes including Spaghetti & other pasta dishes, a Roast Pork with Sauerkraut w/ Dumpling so a little German cuisine, a Pork Chop they are proud of, Turkey & Dressing, seafood options, Entree Salads, Steak, Prime Rib & to my delight an absolutely lovely Chicken Wellington. My educated guess is that they even assemble these to order due to them having fresh tomato in them.. they tell you up front on the menu that it will take at least 25 minutes for this dish & two of us ordered it so we also ordered a couple of appetizers to munch on while we waited.. we got the Fried CHEESE CURDS which were crispy golden & delicious & a decent portion but they were also like $9.00 with I guess is about standard now.. we also got the CLEAVERS LOADED FRIES which were good & a huge portion. The BBQ was tasty but it could use more cheese. It was good yet honestly the sauce was a little runny & the BBQ while delicious kinda overpowered the cheese.. it kinda reminded me of a Poutine from Canada but I don't think that was what they were going for. Definitely need a fork & napkins when eating this one. With the runny sauce the potatoes got soggy. It came with a tasty Ranch for dipping as well. All of the portions were plentiful & I could only eat about half of my Wellington which I got with Fresh Asparagus & Roasted Potatoes. The Chicken in the Wellington was Juicy & tender, it also had loads of crisp Bacon, Swiss Cheese, Cream Cheese Fresh Tomato & was baked in a wonderfully thin yet flaky delicious golden crust.. Served with a light lemon cream sauce which I will ask for a little extra sauce on the side next time cause the Wellington is so big it didn't come with enough sauce but to give the Chef credit, if they put more sauce on the plate it would have looked messy & gotten my potatoes soggy & no body wants that. I didn't order any this trip but they also have a modest but decent selection of wines, beers & mimosa available along with Pepsi Products etc. The dessert options were minimal & seemed expensive.. plus we were all too full for dessert so we didn't order any this visit. So for what seems to be a fairly small menu they have a lot of variety ranging from classic Country/ Midwest Fare, selections from several diffrent cuisines & even dishes I would expect on a fancier menu.. something to make everyone in your party happy. I DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK & BRINGING MY FAMILY HERE. THIS IS OUR KIND OF PLACE, GOOD FOOD, GOOD ATMOSPHERE, GREAT QUALITY, GOOD VALUE & SUPPORTING A LOCAL FAMILY OWNED SMALL BUSINESS. YUMMMMM! 5M'S on my Yum scale.

Awesome steak, chill environment and very clean. Another place that you do not have to clean your own tables. Everything here is top tier.

It's been a while since I've been. I'm pretty certain the entire menu is different. However, that hasn't stopped it from being a wonderful experience. Possibly the best grilled salmon and prime rib we've had in town. All food cooked to perfection. It took some cook time, but well worth the wait. Do not skip out on this place, you'll be sad when the food is done because you want even more.

waited 50 minutes to get cold bad food. Turkey & dressing was lunch meat turkey , over seasoned dressing, gravy had a hint of cinnamon. Others with me were equally disappointed in their over cooked cold steaks.

My husband and I grabbed linner here at like 2pm on a Saturday so it wasn’t busy at all. Here’s my categories -

Service: I think there were like three or four total people who came to our table to help us. They were all very nice and super attentive.

Food: my husband ordered fish tacos, which I think was a special, but I could be wrong. They were absolutely magical. So full of flavor and so huge. We also got loaded fries which we added ranch to. Their ranch is clearly house made. You don’t want to miss out on it! I’ll go back just to get that fr. I got the Reuben and you can see in the picture how massive it is and how much meat they put on it! It was really good, but I will say if you like a classic Reuben, this is not for you. There is something very sweet about it instead of sauerkraut-y. Still wonderful! Just not what I was expecting.

Price: the portions are huge for the price. I think it absolutely is a good value.

We definitely will be back.
