We went on a Saturday night and there was a fun band playing covers on the patio in the back. It was very pleasant. The food was tasty and the drinks were cold. The menu has lots of variety. The broccoli soup was my favorite.

Waited a while to be seated. Then server brought us each a glass of water and menus. When she came back to take our orders she did not ask if we would like anything else to drink. We then waited a good 40 mins to get our meals ( no GF options) I would also like to mention there was only 3 other tables with customers at them and three servers working. Again in all that time we were not asked if we would like anything else to drink. The food finally came and It was good. After, she walked pasted and said she would grab to more waters and never returned with them. Then as soon as we finished she appeared at our table with the bill. By this point I was very upset and I told my husband he was absolutely not leaving a tip. We are usually very good tippers as I myself am a server but I honestly have never been treated like this anywhere in my life. So unfortunately we will not be returning or ever be recommending this restaurant.

Food was good, service a so so but they were focused on the golfers. I will never go again on a Wednesday with the golfers, They were so loud i couldn't carry a conversation at my table. Barking Forest, Cana China or Kings 21 are a better bet.

We tried crossings roadhouse while passing through forest and recognized that it had changed hands. Although the service was great, our food was mediocre at best. Unfortunately we wont be back.

I've gone to this restaurant a few times starting years ago so when it was still called Skeeter Barlows. The food was always pretty good especially the deluxe burger (forget the actual name). But the service was always very lacking. The wait staff would always be too busy hovering around the tables of regular customers chatting it up and tables of larger parties (probably hoping for a higher tip) but would completely ignore the table of 1 or 2 except for taking an order or bringing food. Would always have to ask for a drink refill or the bill! I've been to a lot of sit down restaurants in my life with bad experiences but this place will always stand out for the worst wait staff experience. And judging by the updated prices with the new menu I'll definitely not be going back now

Appetizers was spinach dip with pita and pita was over cooked the veggies where very old almost like eating tree bark the server's where not interested in making any tips as it took 1 hour before our food arrived and the server only cheaked on us 3 time in total once to take our order and the next for bring food and only once to see if we could use anything else but in my honest opinion customer service is very much lacking

We stopped for supper and we ordered a salad from their special menu that had mandarin oranges in it. We can’t remember the name of the salad. But the mandarin oranges tasted really sour and that just turned my stomach it was not pleasant. The waitress was very nice and took it off the bill and apologized. I will still try this place again if I am back in Forrest.

wouldent even give this place a one star, called picked up the phone asked me if i could wait a minute on hold, after 15 minuts of being on hold they picked up and hung up the phone, called back multiple times for them to keep picking up and hanging up and then finaly after calling another 10 times and being hung up on was awnsered and extremly rude staff after explaining how you had me on hold for 15 minutes. drove by your store and only 2-5 cars in the parking lot so not like it was busy, never again will i even bother calling this place, had there food before even and food was never good anyway even worse now under new management highly reccomend nobody gives them theyre hard earned money

Was very happy to stumble upon this restaurant after picking up kids from camp. Good portions, well made with good service. Little bit pricey but it's hard to find deals these days.

Had to wait to be seated as staff were in the kitchen- there were only 2 other customers. We ordered an appetizer to share - the lobster artichoke dip and were told they didn’t have any. The waitress recommended the spinach dip. It was very heavy and we didn’t like it we returned it and said we didn’t like it. They took $1.50 off our bill - really!?
As we were leaving the other 2 customers were complaining about their steak being overdone and the chef was telling them they were wrong. Not going there again!
