Wife and I were looking for a place on a Saturday when we were both off. The place we we going to go to was packed and a quick Google search suggested here. Pulled up, and the parking lot was empty, but the lights were on, so we went in. We were greeted at the door and told to pick any table. The menu is simple with something for everyone. We ordered drinks and food but didn't have to wait long. I ordered the Furlong burger with onion rings, and the wife ordered the chefs onion soup. Both came out in no more than 15 minutes. The burger was cooked perfectly and delicious. The soup was a large crock and again delicious. The onion rings were perfect and not frozen but hand cut to order. We will be going back and highly recommend this place if you're looking for something different.

I took my husband for a birthday dinner last night and was very pleased. The food was a 10 out of 10! The staff was attentive without rushing you through your meal. We will definitely be dining there again and trying out the variety of choices they offer. Before leaving our server Trish showed us the great plans Furloughs has for nice weather dining and entertainment outside in a beautiful pavilion located next to a creek with a falls. Very exciting. Thanks again for giving us a wonderful birthday dining experience!

Brought my parents for lunch and it was our first time. Great atmosphere and even better food. I had ordered more food than I thought we would eat in anticipation of leftovers, but everything was so good only two wings were left to bring home. We will definitely be back.

I cannot believe how bad the service was. Food was average at best, only stop by if you're desperate

Tara was amazing! She was there from start to finish! She told us about the NY strip special and it was absolutely amazing! Will be coming back to visit Tara. Haven't found a bartender there to connect with until we met her. An absolute gem!

They posted on their Facebook page that they were offering Christmas brunch beginning at 11am. My girlfriend and i drove all the way there only to be told that they don't open until 12pm. We also had dinner reservations for 5pm and were hesitant to even come here after the misleading information regarding Christmas brunch. There weren't many restaurants open nearby on Christmas day so our choices were limited. We had made a reservation days prior for 5pm. As we walked in we stood there Noone to greeted us other than the bartender who could clearly see that we were not being helped. Some girl then walked towards us and I said hello we have a reservation for 5. She assumed 5 people. I said no for 5pm it is just the two of us. She proceeded to look disheveled and asked me if my name was something other than my name. I said I made a reservation a week ago. She pretty much was about to tell us that there were no available seats. That was until the owner of the restaurant or restaurant manager said to we have plenty of room, there's a table in the back. She proceeded to clean off the table. She gave us our menus and clearly had an attitude. The table was wet so I wiped it down myself. The bartender came over and asked if we wanted something to drink. I had mentioned that I saw on the Facebook page that there were speciality Christmas drinks available but could not recall the name. He was not sure of the exact names as clearly he was not supposed to be waiting our table. He's a bartender. He clearly took the slack of her job because she didn't want to serve us therefore she avoided us and believed we weren't aware of this. She chimed in to the bartender and rudely Said I gave the speciality drinks on my phone. He proceeded to come back and handed me his phone with the specialty drinks. I applaud the bartender for remaining professional, nice, and accommodating. As we were eating put appetizers the girl jammed past my girlfriends chair and said can you move I have glasses and shit to get. My girlfriend wanted to speak to the owner but didn't want to do this on Christmas night and ruin our night. As we proceeded to eat our dinner other tables started to fill up. The girl walked right over the family sitting next to us and was beyond nice to them, she explained the speciality drinks and proceeded to shoot glances towards us. I thank the bartender for stepping up, for remaining professional and nice. The girl you have working for you had a major attitude problem and should not be working with the public.

Beautiful place and good services.Hamburger was perfectly cook and delicious.Beer was cold.
Owner is probably one of the worst people to enter this town. He stiffs contractors, doesn’t pay workers, and steals from other establishments. Also is very hostile and threatens people. Burning bridges with all your locals and the word spreads fast.

Great food, but it was a bit expensive for the atmosphere. Some of the best French onion soup I've had. Not too kid friendly with loud people at the bar yelling the f word every couple of minutes. The waiterr wasn't aware of the kid menu, but fixed the bill accordingly. Service was a bit slow on drinks and the bill, but presentable and nicely mannered. Open on Mondays! 3.8/5 for me.

We went for lunch and had 2 burgers and 4 beer. Bill came up to $84 after a 20% tip.Do you include gratuity on the check already or possibly charge extra for fries?As much as I like the place that seems a bit rich. Perhaps there was just a bill error, my mistake for not questioning it I guess...
