Menu was overpriced for dishes being offered. Waffles and eggs were the best items available but no sugar free syrup available. Service was outstanding and tried hard to accolade for shortfalls by restaurant. Setting was fine as a family friendly restaurant. I will not take advantage of a Mothers Day Buffet here in the future.

I have never eaten here before and would not go back on a holiday. The buffet was $45.00 per person. We went at a later time. The food was not warm, ran out of beef and what they substituted was well done and tough. Maybe if I could of ordered off the menu it would of been better????

It was packed! Ransom of success. Initially they told us we could not be seated even with a reservation. Then the manager got involved and we got a table. Food and atmosphere are great - especially on days you can sit outside. Highly recommended!

As always the service was great! The only thing I would say bothered me was the seating around the fire pit is wobbly and I spilled my drink while trying to sit on the chair that has the bolt/screw very loose. A couple of the seats were in that condition but I grabbed a patio chair and dragged it to the fire pit area, that worked for me.

There needs to be Sunday brunch hours for Sunday clearly visible online. Brunch was until 3 then they close the kitchen until 4 to “get ready” for normal menu. We ordered a brunch item to share and then waited a whole hour to order from the regular menu. Was disappointed to find out brunch hours:kitchen closed AFTER we booked a reservation online & then arrived. Paper menus need to be updated. Fried “trash” platter wasn’t right. In other words, due to covid or staffing issues no one wanted to finely slice onions into “straws” so they were huge, 1 inch onion rings, pickle “chips” were big pickle spears. The batter was soggy, undercooked and tasteless. A big waste of food, time & money. When items are larger - they take longer to fry & no one in the kitchen wanted to take the extra time. Ketchup packets thrown on the plate - 3 of them for large French fries and the fries were, again, undercooked. Burger and quail bites were good. Bartenders could be friendlier and it took over 20 minutes to have a second glass of wine poured. They were not busy at all and staff was standing around talking.
