My boyfriend and I had lunch here while on vacation and we were both violently ill that evening we were supposed to leave the next morning but we had a 6 hour drive and neither of us were in good enough shape to make it.

The food was pretty good. The employees were quite friendly. However, the service and decor were lacking. Considering the area has rustic and log cabin theming, this place sticks out with a modern look. The walls are full of blank spaces just bland. But the thing that still out the most is the slow and dismissive service. For example. While we were at our table, the line at the register was all the way to the door. at least 3 or 4 groups. There were tables available, but they were unbussed and the waitresses passed by them a few times. The table next to us was left uncleared for a whole 25 minutes. and the manager was the one to clear it, not the actual employees. In the time it took to get tables cleared and actual seat customers, that those waiting in line to be seated had already left. So that is a loss of business that was 100% preventable. It makes no sense to not clear tables and seat customers. Makes one wonder how much business and profit is lost from lack of employee awareness.

We were seated, and our orders taken...got our drinks fairly quickly. Food took a bit longer, which was to be expected, except that we were seated where we could actually see into the kitchen and see our food sitting there on the counter plated and ready to bring out...but ignored for a larger order. Then they bring our order out and it was the last time we saw a waitress for a long time. I was over halfway through my meal when someone finally came to ask if i needed a refill. My mother, who was with me, was never asked if she wanted a refill, not once. So, then we finish eating and have to wait for a check...this is when we thought to time and see how long it actually took to clear a table since we had nothing else to do. 25 Minutes later and we still didn't have a ticket. Then they finally bring a ticket, and omg, they asked if we wanted drinks to bring home, and if we needed anything else...I was wondering where was all this attention and hospitality when we were actually eating?

It's a real shame because if this place would get their customer service together and actually get tables cleared off, they would make so much more business. Friendly employees & Good food are wasted with poor service. The decor is less of an issue but still adds to the underwhelming experience. If it wasn't for personal nostalgia, I would have no reason to ever go back.

Lunch has to be better than dinner. We have always enjoyed lunch here. But tonight we watched people get up and walk out. Their drink orders were never taken. So if you go for lunch it's great. Dinner is subpar at best

I had a pulled pork sandwich with side salad, others in my party had club sandwich with onion rings, the fried fish platter and the chicken salad. All was fantastic. We stop here often when we go up the trace.

I loved the atmosphere. Its a log cabin. The menu was impressive. The cook that night got several things wrong but the food was still good. The waitress was nice and attentive.
