For as many times I've driven by this place I never stopped in. Till Monday. We picked here based on the recommendation of my gf and man I'm glad she did. We came here after my fathers burial with 16 people. So a rather large party and our waitress Madison did fantastic. There was never a cup empty of water and bread was constantly being filled. The bread was fantastic and fresh baked with seasoning on top. Now for the main course. I got the Amish honey coated fried chicken and boyyyy howdy those Amish know how to build that flavor. Crispy skin and contrasted with that sweetness made for such a perfect bite. Came with green beans which were good but the sweet potato casserole was phenomenal. Perfectly baked and so tender. Overall the entire experience was well worth the stop and the prices were reasonable for what you get. Loved this place

As soon as you walk in this place reminds me of Tennessee. I love the atmosphere here..... the food is good although prices are a little high . The service is pretty friendly if it's busy they try their best to take care of each table. parking is mostly inthe back

Friendly and cozy

We had great service tonight and a wonderful dinner. We love the atmosphere & the festive decorations. We can't wait to come back.

First time I was there everything was great I couldn’t wait to dine there again but today. I don’t know what happened with my dinner, baked onion soup was awesome but the garlic herb chicken was so super dry and hard I could not even eat the chicken . the broccoli and sweet potato was good? The server did a great job. I didn’t say anything to her until I paid the bill and gave her a nice tip. I told her to tell the chef that the chicken was unacceptable. I just hope she gave him the message.table 4 order: 55201 consistency it’s important

Brought my girlfriend here for are 1 year anniversary and it was amazing from the bread to the food and the service was amazing definitely will be back

The food was absolutely amazing! I’ve had a lot of prime rib and I’m not even exaggerating when I say this is probably the best prime rib that I’ve ever had. I shared your page with my 30,000+ followers as well. Very happy with the experience all-around.

I would not recommend bbq. I ordered the combo with bbq sauce on the side. both the chicken and the ribs were flavorless on their own. The chicken had a manufactured texture to it and the ribs were super thick and dry. I do appreciate a meaty rib, but not at the cost of texture and flavor. Also, it annoyed me that I couldn't get a side salad without an upcharge. I really did want a potato or defrosted/steamed vegetables.

Jessica was our bartender/server tonight and she killed it !!!!

We went for the first time for the Thanksgiving buffet. Food was amazing! Great variety, and the dessert table was amazing!

Dined here again on November 30, 2024. Disappointed to see the decline in operating hours, and the high prices. Hope the owners do something to turn things around. The restaurant is decorated with memorabilia from the hunting and fishing cabins of the 1950s/1960s. The restaurant food and drink menu has many choices. Buffalo meatloaf or burger are served here, and they are wonderful. Food is hot, fulfilling, and delicious. No complaints only compliments.

Parking: Large parking lot. You may have a good walk if the restaurant is busy.

Somebody lied. I called in advance asking about bringing in cupcakes for husband's birthday which was on Thanksgiving. I was told I would have to pay $2.50 extra per cupcake I brought in even though they would not need to be plated or served by waitstaff. I was told that instead, they could stick a candle in a dessert off the buffet table and sing Happy Birthday to him. When I asked about that during dinner with the family, I was told they couldn't do that because it was a holiday. Really!!!!!! I wasn't asking for a discount and the desserts on the buffet table were already included in the price per person. Still they chose not to be gracious enough to be kind to a 78 year old grandfather with just a candle and birthday song. Disappointing to say the least.
