The two of us shared the following: - Farmhouse Hash with 2 Soft Scrambled Eggs - Side of 2 Poached Medium Eggs The meal was served hot and for us, it was the perfect amount of food.

First few bites were good, but then it felt oily snd heavy after awhile. The banana foster French toast was decent. The caramel sauce made it too sweet for us.

Rooster's Barn N Grill is a fairly popular place among longtime residents. A lot of meaty items mostly chicken. They have a few other items if looking for healthier. Coming in here it wasn't crowded. It's got a few older people at lunch. The atmosphere is pretty homey as in like someone's house in the country it seems. Only it looks like a barn. They have a few fancier cocktails as well. It's about $11 for a cocktail. We got a couple of these including a Manhattan. As for the food it's nothing at all special to be honest. It's about $5 to get a side item. Has limited choices. We each got a side salad and sweet potato fries. Basic. These needed to be put out for pasture. Got to see it's not as bad as it looks. It's located at Lake and Third. They close early including on weekends.

I just wanted ordered. I think if you have someone answering the phone and taking orders, they need to be trained on what the menus is. Needless to say we had to eat out of the fridge because i didn't want to wait another 20 minutes to cook more food. So disappointed. To add the chicken was sub par! Will never go back!!!!!

I really try to be positive when I'm reviewing. I know running a business is hard, so I try to be kind. But I went here New Year's Day and it was just not good. I was in a good mood, ready for the New Year, and I wish I had gone somewhere else with my good mood. We were seated right near a server station and we could hear the servers complaining about the boss, and then about another server that worked there. Ladies, do it on the phone after hours please. Then there was my food. I ordered my steak medium well and it was way undercooked. It came out bloody. The waitress kept forgetting the syrup for my daughter (not good to keep a hungry small child waiting). I had to ask for it three times. And when we were ready to go we had to ask the busboy for boxes to go. I wish I could say something good about the place but I just don't know that I can think of anything. I can't even say nice decor because the had fake poinsettas. Not sure that I'll give it another try. read more

To the person (ignorant lunatic) above me -- Corisa -- you are completely wrong. I've been to this restaurant numerous times and have received nothing short of great service and tasty food for a more than reasonable price. I was there the day you were "thrown out" of the restaurant, ma'am. You were yelling profanity at the top of your lungs in front of dozens of people, only to get escorted from a restaurant you so rudely and immaturely disturbed. I find it laughable that you find the need to construct lies about such a restaurant: the bathrooms are clean, the service is great, the employees aren't "liars" as you claim them to be, and the food need not be "inspected" before consuming -- the restaurant exceeds sanitation standards. All in all, this is a common destination for my family and I and I do not want delusional Yelpers -- such as Corisa -- to keep you all from trying this restaurant. 5 Stars!!! You'll love it, I promise. read more

I'm giving 2 stars because I've been there for breakfasts which were pretty good. I went there for dinner. I'm still standing at my table trying to take my coat off when the waitress comes by and asks me what I want.....soup or salad......coffee.anything to drink? Again, I just walked to the table, hadn't sat down and just starting to take off my coat. Can I feel more rushed? I had salad first,,,,, Finished salad, waitress drops off the dinner off to the side corner of the table. No, are you done with salad..... can I take the salad away.......kist a here you go comment. So I move my salad plate and put the dinner plate in front of me. The next time she came by was to drop off the bill. Never did she come over for the 'is everything alright'? question...... Never came by for 1 refill of coffee, or offered more coffee. It seemed like this not her job and she was stuck waiting tables. read more

From my experience, DIno's doesn't cook properly. My chopped steak was raw inside so I asked for it to be cooked more. The steak came back and looked good but I can see through dirty windows... I cut a thin slice off and there it was, a raw chopped steak. They only touched the raw part to the grill to try and fool me. It's didn't Their potatoes were always translucent; never browned. Again I had to return them to the kitchen and they came back looking good... until I picked up the top layer and the underlying potatoes were translucent and limp, no color or crisp. I didn't give them a 3rd chance. Their kitchen doesn't knows how to cook properly. I don't remember how their service response was. I go across the street to Bentley's and you get a much better breakfast and they're very attentive and their eggs are double yolk. read more

Dino's is our go to place for breakfast and brunch. My husband and myself have been going for years. The food here never disappoints and the portions you get are exactly what you pay for. The staff is always kind and attentive. Kim is one of our favorite waitresses but that's not to say everyone else isn't absolutely wonderful. Kim is always so incredibly warm and welcoming. She's very efficient, always has a smile on her face and takes the time to explain anything we have questions about regarding the menu. She's very patient and we've never felt rushed like you might experience at other establishments. We've had Kim as our server numerous times and she always provides excellent service. She makes you feel right at home and keeps a smile on your face with her hospitality. highly recommend! read more

the thing about this place is...there is good service. everyone is friendly and attentive.. but i will not be coming back. because of the woman who i believe is the owner of the place. the way she talks to her employees ((and i can clearly see it because of the whole "open pass-out" atmosphere they have going on)) is beyond appalling. i have seen, or should i say heard, her on multiple occasions, call her employees stupid. and correcting them for everything while they have been providing me and my wife excellent service. i leave a more than generous tip, because i feel bad these people have to work for her. but i cannot stand to watch her treat them like this. so we will stick to bentleys or dappers. but the food is good. and service GREAT. read more

Terrible service! Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. After being seated, we waited over an hour for our food...only to find out that our waitress had forgotten to put our order in entirely. While mistakes can happen, what was more frustrating was the lack of accountability or effort to make things right. The manager was informed but no compensation or sincere effort to keep our business was offered. We ended up walking out. We came expecting a relaxing meal but left feeling overlooked and frustrated. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and works to improve both communication and better customer service going forward. We will definitely not be back. read more

My In-laws have been going there for quite a while now, so I thought my husband and I should give it a try. We walked in to a very busy restaurant last friday night, yet we were promptly greeted by the host and added to the waiting list. After about 7 minutes we were seated. Our waitress seemed very poise and calm, even though she must've had several other customers to attend to. As far as the good.....I have never been to another restaurant that matches Dinos quality to price ratio. The portions are GINORMOUS! The prices were excellent. Especially the childrens menu.....$2.99-$3.99 for a kids meal. Overall, I love this place. Our family will be coming back again! read more

Having been long-time patrons of Dino's, we have always been helped by attentive, friendly staff and owners. Their menu offers a variety of options, including vegetarian and low-carb, and portions are generous. We almost always have a takeout container of leftovers after eating. The daily soups are also delicious - a to-go quart doesn't last long at home! Dino's accommodates parties of all sizes and ages, seating is ample & comfortable and the atmosphere is warm & inviting.
