Well I thought this was a hard to rate kind o place. It's in an old school cafeteria so the dining…read morearea is either nostalgic or dreary depending on your school experience. We arrived on a Tuesday about 11:40. There was only one other customer. While we were there 4 groups of 2 did come in. I noticed most everyone else was ordering the daily specials - a beef sandwich or tenderloin sandwich. The buffet had a lot of food. Couldn't figure out the economics of so much food for so few people. There is a hot buffet that had fried chicken and 4 or 5 other entrees. The fried chicken didn't seem quite done to me, but the chef assured me it was and I was just seeing coloring from the marinade. I think the only thing on the hot buffet either of us liked were the au gratin potatoes, the was also a large salad bar and an extremely wide selection of desserts. I'd say it was ok, probably not as good as Bonnie Cafe at the airport. They do seem to do a good job of marketing and their specials must attract a lot of local interest.

She's been updated some but she's musty and fussy, like your dowager great aunt who wears too much floral perfume, annoying and stinky but you have to love her because she's been so generous and given so much to the whole family and community. Yes. The Holiday in Olney is like that. I've heard the rooms are outdated but clean - I can't assess that since I haven't been in one since the 80's. I do know the restaurant is pretty good - when I was a kid, the coffee shop is where all the local and state police would meet for coffee. It was a nice feeling to walk in and see familiar faces. I hope they still congregate there. There's a giant covered dome structure and it's a great place for large gatherings like class reunions. After several decades, the Holiday is serving alcohol again their former owner-turned-Christian stopped serving back in the 80s, too. (rip Ralph, you judgemental old fart!) I've heard that the pool is pretty rough. I walked by it and I think I'd take a pass. But old gal, you still have good bones, and like our childhood homes that we drive by when we visit, we're grateful you're still around.

This was our first visit to Richard's Farm Restaurant. But for us it will be a one and done. The…read morerestaurant smelt musty and old because it is filled with antiques. And the old carpet just holds that smell. The restaurant was on the expensive side. The lunch specials started at $14.50. The cheapest sandwich was $15.99 and comes with one side. They offered a salad bar for $16.99 The hot bar was $18.79. Kids meals were all $9.99. I went with the hot bar because it had fried chicken on it. There were 4 different soups to choose from and all of the normal salad bar items. The pickled beets were really good. The skin of the fried chicken was soft from being in the steam table. Nothing crunchy left. Our waitress was very friendly and checked on a few times. Lunch for 3 adults and a kid was $70 plus tip.

Flaky with buttery caper sauce was rich and creamy over a bed of rice. My side was the salad bar which can hold its own as a meal all by itself. My husband ordered their famous 1lb pork chop. The mash was creamy and the Caesar salad side were good. Credit where credit is due.... The chop was cooked to temp however with the size and even with the red sauce it's basted with, my husband reported it a bit dry but he definitely enjoyed the process of eating it. The service as fine and we enjoyed the experience. We will definitely return next time we travel that way and try more on the menu

The inside is a mixture of Mongolian-style grill and buffet, but there aren't as many food options as some buffets. For example, there are two sections of desserts and a large salad section and another section with "American" food but only three hot tables of "Chinese" food.

The salad bar was excellent, all items were fresh and there was a good selection. I love vegetables, and there were plenty to choose from: mashed potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, baked carrots, green beans, and more. Service was friendly and fast. My glass was kept full, and the server checked back with me frequently. There are both tables and booths, and they were kept clean. I appreciated that hand sanitizer was available at each end of the hot bar and salad bar. Hot, fresh rolls were available and were delicious. The buffet price is definitely reasonable. 80s music was playing at a comfortable level. Nice! A great experience!
