The food was ok, but 3 tables that ordered after us were served before. 1 table the came in after we ordered was served before us. When I asked about our food the waitress replied kind of snotty "it's coming". Won't be back.

Food was great. My child held a fundraiser here, staff was very helpful, polite, and fun. They let the kids do all kinds of things and sure made them work, the kids loved it. Ate there since we were there for hours and our food was very good, very well cooked and served in a timely manner. Only complaint is the cheese sauce for horseshoes. It was a little bland.

The salad bar is nothing more than lettuce and other condiments. It's where you get a salad. It is not a salad bar. Worst part was all the men sitting at the bar. Talking about the violence on television. Being a good thing. Hoping the Police used "live" rounds. Etc. Very appropriate dinner conversation. Really appealing. Never mind stopping here. Food was bland and tasteless. Meal type Dinner Price per person USD 10–20 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 1 Group size 2 people Wait time No wait

So they have a neon sign that states salad bar, I was pretty excited about that, and to be honest, they need to turn that sign off. It is nothing to brag about. The salad bar may have had no more than 10 items. The hamburger was good. They brought out onion rings to a different table and those were hand battered and there was a pile of them and they smelled great. I would get those if I go back. Price per person USD 10–20 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 1 Noise level Moderate noise Group size 2 people, Suitable for all group sizes Wait time No wait

Stopped for lunch. Ask what specials were, tenderloin fries and cole slaw was what I was told. A different waitress took my order and another dropped off food. No coleslaw, cold fries and a below average tenderloin. Never saw the waitress at my table again. I was very disappointed in this place. Very nice looking place on outside and it appeared nice on the inside but without good service or food no reason to go back.
