Coffee cup was delivered with hands, on the lip of the cup, instead of by the handle. (Don't they teach that in the Food Handlers course?) Pet peeve for me. Also big thumb touching my food as she set it on the table! Other than those two things, the waitress was pleasant and I got a laugh out of her when she asked if "are you ready " and I replied, "ready for what?". Menu prices were reasonable. Don't know the buffet's cost. The parking lot could stand cleaning; flattened beer cans, coat hangers stood out on the walk into the lobby.

We ate at The Flume for Easter lunch. The service was great, but the buffet wasn't great. The…read moreturkey, ham, and roast beef were all dry even with gravy. The mashed potatoes were dense, and the gravy disappeared right after I added it because they were dry too. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly.

The waitress who served us was wonderful, friendly, attentive, and incredibly kind to our dog. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were generous. The only negative part of the evening had nothing to do with the restaurant. A man seated next to us spent much of dinner being rude and entitled, repeatedly questioning how the salmon was prepared, criticizing the wine list, and generally acting unpleasant toward the staff. The blonde waitress with glasses handled the situation with impressive patience and professionalism. Honestly, it took restraint not to say something myself. She did a fantastic job dealing with a very difficult customer and deserves recognition for it.

Came here because locals swore this place was "so good." Absolutely not…read more The outside gives you hope, but don't be fooled. They marched us straight to some random back room that looked filthy and forgotten. Dirty walls, dead flies sitting on the window sills, dusty air vents directly over our table, worn-out floors and furniture... the whole place felt grimy. On the way to our table we were also walked past a nasty smelling dishwashing area, which really set the tone for the experience. Now the food. The kids got chicken fettuccine Alfredo, and somehow it managed to be both lava hot and completely flavorless at the same time. The chicken tasted like it lost a fight with the microwave. The meatloaf? I genuinely have no idea what they served me. It looked like cafeteria mystery meat drowned in tomato puree. Honestly offensive. I ordered the green chile cheeseburger with fries thinking maybe they'd at least get that right. Nope. The green chile had zero spice, zero flavor, zero reason to exist. The burger itself was forgettable at best. And the best part? The bill was nearly $100. For dirty vents, dead flies, bland food, and mystery meat. Would I come back? Not even if someone else was paying.

We had lunch here, and had no difficulty finding parking We were seated immediately and had…read moreattentive service. Unsurprising, the Lucky Bull Grill has a rustic character. I had the 24 Tap BLT, and my wife had the Cobb salad with fried chicken. She enjoyed the salad, and said the fried chicken was quite good. The BLT was mostly bacon, with a leaf of lettuce and a thin slice of tomato; much as I enjoyed the bacon (chewy, not excessively crispy), I also appreciate the contrast with meaty tomato and crisp lettuce, so I found this BLT okay but not great. YMMV. I had onion rings with the BLT, and they were pretty good. Overall a positive experience, and a decent venue for lunch, but room for improvement.

I stopped here for lunch and just had their Cuban sandwich and an iced tea, with chips. The Cuban…read morewas quite good, though not authentic -- not a pressed sandwich, closer to a hoagie. Still, very good and filling for what it was, and I would order it again. Tea was fine, chips were a bit bland. I didn't have any trouble finding the place, Google took me straight to the parking lot, and I just needed to know that the entrance is on the lake side. Service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. I sat at a table in the rustic dining room, and it was not too busy at the time, calm and fairly quiet. I also grabbed a latte on my way out, which was okay. The lake side is a nice place for a stroll, and there is even a bridge which crosses the lake. Clear water, plus even a swimming area on the far side.
