“The food was very good! We eat 2 evenings in a row. The only complaints the baked potato’s were not very hot and the server’s could be more attentive to if you need a refill. 😊“

“The vibe and atmosphere here are everything. Wow, this place really blew me away.

To begin, the manager seemed very hands-on, even helping the staff clear and set up a table for us. They also accommodated our request to sit by the window for the beautiful view, despite that area being shut down for the rest of the night, which I really appreciated. The entire staff was more than happy to accommodate anything we needed and was incredibly welcoming and attentive. Everything about this place just makes you feel at home.

And then you get to the food—and dang, it’s good. Just really solid homestyle cooking that’s plated and presented well. The portion sizes are generous for what you’re paying too, so you definitely feel like you’re getting your money’s worth.

They start you off with a complimentary vegetable soup, which was SO good, and I’m someone who would normally never spring for vegetable soup. I will say that some of the sides were lacking just slightly in flavor, but genuinely, a smidge of salt from the table got them right. The textures were more than acceptable too. For example, the mac and cheese was very cheesy, while the noodles were cooked well and still al dente.

And don’t even get me started on the rolls. They’re like a combination between bread and a biscuit, and I could come back just to eat a dozen of those.

I ordered the meatloaf, and the sauce was literally perfect. The texture and the ratio of everything in the meatloaf were truly an experience, especially considering meatloaf is my favorite dish. They absolutely did it justice.

Between the atmosphere, the hospitality, the view, the value, and the homestyle food, this place is definitely a must-try and absolutely worth the visit.“

“We were passing through and decided to stop since we no longer have a Shoney’s in our hometown. The food was great , service was great, and my kids loved getting to try their first hot fudge cake!“
