    Poor service/terrible food

    The waitress was never around, we had to ask other waiters for our food, drink refills and the check. When we finally got our food it was cold and disgusting.More

    Great food, a little pricey, lots of heart

    It is consistently good quality country food but the service is not the best. It is still worth the visit if you have the time to wait for your service and are willing to spend a little more than average.More

    Good Breakfast

    We go there often for Saturday breakfast. Food is good and so is the service. A pretty good wine selection in the liquor store. Will keep going back.
