Four words: Deep Fried Monte Cristo. It’s here. It’s glorious. Just like you remember. Also the rest of the food is very good, had the chicken strips, Mac and cheese. Definitely coming back to try the Steak and Ale special menu items. Our waiter was great, even the bus boy was very helpful. Great job keeping the legacy alive!!

Went in Saturday afternoon and had plenty of seating options. Ordered onion rings, calamari, Reuben balls (?), and mozzarella sticks. The cheese sticks were cheesy. The Reuben balls were tasty. The cheese sticks were cheesy. The onion rings were thick, but seemed to need seasoning. They were out of calamari. The waitress was nice. The restaurant is attached to the holiday Inn.

We got there when they first opened and our service was great. I’ve been places that act out off by the arrival of customers upon first opening so I am appreciative that was not the case. We drive for a living so getting to stop and eat somewhere is a treat. This spot is connected to a hotel so the parking may be minimal depending on what they have going on. We’re in a 40’ straight truck and still found parking with a full lot. Being that it was my first time I’d never had the Hawaiian chicken before. It reminded me of burbon chicken, which I am not a fan of. I asked if they could remake the chicken without the marinade and there was no issue. Don’t let that discourage you from trying the Hawaiian I’m just a super picky eater. The rice pilaf and broccoli were great! Check your water cups because I didn’t catch mine til later into my drink that it had some floaties at the bottom. I had no toddlers with me to cause this. I did let my waitress know and she took care of it and informed me she switched water sources. I mention this so anyone with an issue isn’t hesitant to bring it respectfully to their attention and they too will respectfully address and fix the problem. No yelling or fits are necessary. Now that we know this place is here and we can fit our truck we will be sure to try more dishes in the future should we return to this area. Thank you to the hostess and the rest of the staff for taking such good care of us.

Lily was our server and she went above and beyond! She was so nice and made it a great experience. I’m gonna spend Thanksgiving with her since I have to stay out there for work and she’s working so I’m gonna have dinner here. The food was outstanding and the French onion was just as I remembered it from my teenage years!! So I did come back for Thanksgiving and Lily and the manager Remy went above and beyond for me! The Thanksgiving meal was outstanding! You would think you were having Thanksgiving at grandmas house! That’s how delicious and “home” cooked it was.
