We have dined here in the past and never had any complaint. Tonight, sadly, will likely be the last time for us. We arrived at 4:45 and seated ourselves after being directed to do so. There were only 2 other tables occupied., so not busy. It was $5 burger night but we didn't want burgers. We ordered a French dip sandwich and a Macho nachos with beef. Ou order was taken at 4:55. As we waited 5 or 6 other tables came in. They must have all ordered burgers because they got their food quickly, within 10/15 minutes. We didn't get our food until 5:40! The nachos were cold with less than a quarter cup of meat and half the size they were 6 months ago. I really stress DO NOT ORDER THE FRENCH DIP! It was nasty. A 6 inch hogie bun with 6 slices of meat, the problem is the meat was like cheap lunch meat you get at the grocery store. It tasted weird and off. I got through maybe half before handing it off to my husband, who eats every thing. $14 for something that would cost me $3 to do at home. I'm still burping that taste up. Not a great evening celebrating our 27th anniversary.

This place was once great and highly sout after. Seems as though they lost on the staff side as waitresses aren't always on top of there job and then the food is lacking to say the least!

We went out for their 3 meat buffet. It was good. Salad bar was good, lots to choose from. The only complaint I had was all the little bones in the ribs.

I was there for dinner meetings. I had their mushrooms and Swiss burger and frys. The burger was really good. The service was outstanding. The meeting area was really roomy and spacey.

I ordered the ribeye medium rare, and it came out well done and dryer than a popcorn fart. I told the waitress it was terrible, and the manager came out and told me that they cooked it to 135 degrees, so it must be medium rare. The steak was brown all the way through. I ate 5 bites and was charged full price. Good thing it was on my company, or else I would have been really mad. Now I know where not to eat when on business in Wadena.

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!Not sure how this place got 4.5??We both had the 3 meat buffet. Only one meat was edible and that was too salty. ( I love salt, so for me to say too salty...it is!). The chicken was the salty one, but it was cooked okay.The pork loin with stuffing was so overcooked you could hardly cut it and was extremely dry.The ribs tasted good but were cold. We told the waitress and she said she would alert the cook. He did not come out to the buffet for at least 20 minutes and didn't even check the ribs or talk to us.The chicken noodle soup was tasty but very salty but edible.The salad bar was fresh and well stocked.Our waitress Jaelyn was sweet.We will not be returning or recommending this place.
