This place is absolutely outstanding. I enjoy dining here with my family because of the friendly staff, excellent food, large portions and fair prices. Below are the dinners we ordered at our most recent visit!

This place has seen better days. The service is still good. Employees are friendly. The food leaves a lot to be desired. Wings are good, fried chicken isn’t bad, lemon pepper chicken was dry and bland, and their meatballs may be the worst I’ve ever had. Whoever handles their social media accounts needs a little work on their professionalism. I won’t be back here for a while.

Fries come unsalted, and prices are a bit high, but the quality otherwise is amazing! Service was great, my burger bomb was perfectly rare, my husband's Wardhurst Alfredo was so good. Most of the food came out hot, fresh, and delicious. Again, the exception was the house cut fries. They were completely unseasoned and only lukewarm.

My husband and I went there for a date night. It was very clean. The service was great. The food was served hot and delicious. We both got prime rib with stuffed shrimp. They offered 2 sides with the meal. We had a great time. I played Keno for the first time and won enough to pay for the meal and tip!!!! I will definitely make sure we frequent here .

Ordered Prime Rib & Shrimp Stuffed with Crab Meat, still looking for the Crab Neat, Prime rib not seasoned and couldn’t but it with the knife, extremely tough, although the Butternut Squash was depot was cold. Waitress was excellent best we’ve had in a long time. Very disappointed with the meal, won’t be back!!!

Ron, our waiter gave us the bums rush ALL thru dinner! After getting the TINY $34 prime rib with two TINY shrimp, he was tossing to go containers on the table WHILE WE WERE STILL EATING!!! We hadn't complained or showed dissatisfaction to him. We had not said we were done.Then while I was waiting at the table, with the food wrapped up, for my husband to come back so I could use the restroom- RON started SPRAYING THE TABLE WHILE I WAS SITTING AT IT WITH MY FOOD! He got cleaning spray on my arm/coat!! We shouldn't have left you a tip at all! So much for an enjoyable dinner. Hopefully, the management will say something to RON.

I went here based on the great reviews I have seen online and from friends. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. No issues there. There were 3 of us. We ordered a sampler as an appetizer - the cheese sticks were wonderful; crunchy outside,gooey inside. The steak and cheese rolls were kind of bland but the steak was nice and tender.I did not like the potato skins at all - they were dry and somewhat flavorless. The chicken wings ,I was told were a bit spicy(barbeque flavor) but okay. The bread rolls were very tasty and fresh and one person in our party needed a 2nd bowl of seasoned oil for dipping - she loved it so much.The fish and chips were very fresh and the onion rings tasty and not greasy at all.I had spinach pie that I thought was wonderful and butternut squash which was delicious. The cheeseburger was cooked as asked- medium well and juicy. Overall, the portions were large and we had 3 boxes of leftovers for loved ones at home.

Was just here. Had the prime rib. It's not the most tender, but you know what? I ate all of it. It was pretty darn good. The fried chicken is great. There's something for everyone. Ate here before, will eat here again.
