Picked our sides from the options on the board rather than the less inspired options on the printed menu. (broccoli salad, hoppin' john, sweet (collard) greens, and Capri salad (not quite a caprese but did have cheese, tomatoes). Catfish was a the star - light and crisp and hot from fryer to the table - seasoned lightly and fresh tender fillets. It's nice to be able to choose the number of fillets you'd like adjusting for appetite or diners to share with. Pulled pork was moist and better than I would have expected at a non bbq restaurant, let alone one at a state park. More customers poured in after us - so the later you are to lunch, the more patient you'll want to be. On a Wednesday this might be the only restaurant in the area - I think we'd be looking as far back as Harrisburg for something else that was open.

We understand price increases but not like this, for what you get. While the buffet is okay, understand they're the only restaurant for over 20 mi. in 2 directions only so yes, they get good reviews, all things considered. Sorry, but we can drive on down the road to Golden Corral in Henderson, KY. for a lot less money and Henderson gas prices are lowest of all, another savings bonus. They have a huge buffet and excellent food at an affordable price (4/26 updated prices)...$14.99-17.99/adult dinners and all you can eat steak after 4 pm; adult lunch buffet..11.99-14.99 and they have senior discounts. Seniors about $3. less. With price increases the way they are, we're always looking for the best value for our money plus we get a bonus with less gas prices while there.

It's made in house and is the right amount of sweet. We all had our fill! On top of it all our server was so kind and welcoming and friendly! She made sure our sweet tea was always filled. The place itself is spacious. The outdoor space looked like it could be a lot of fun in the evening.

I ordered a Philly Cheese steak sandwich, fries & fried jalapeños (because I had never heard of them) the fried jalapeños were way way too salty, the meat on the cheese steak had no flavor, no seasoning at all, it was cold & the the texture was off putting. The fries were also too crispy for me but I will own that one. I didn't specify to make them softer. And my meal alone... almost $30 bucks!!! The waitress took too long to take our drink order & then seemed rushy to get our order. She seemed more concerned with working the customers at the bar. She wasn't rude, just inattentive. The decor was awesome tho & it was peaceful in there. The bathrooms were very nice & clean with funny signs. It will not be a repeat experience for me.

The staff could not have been friendlier, the perfect example of southern hospitality! As far as the food... Incredible! It was a tough choice, but my guest and I both ordered the pork chop. Mine the 2 inch and his the 1 inch. These were unique in the best possible way, like a cross between smoked ham and pork chop, likely from their cooking process which I can only ASSUME involves a slow low temp smoke then a quick grill when ordered. Different, but also uniquely delicious. The sides were heavenly. I had the home made white mac and cheese and fries, and my guest had the loaded sweet potato and a salad. As far as appetizer, we received the free fresh bread loaf with sweet STRAWBERRY butter, as well as an order of loaded potato skins that were among the best I've had in recent memory. ...And all of this at an incredible price. I honestly don't know how they do it. Prices for the food we received were more like the early 2000's. Everything you see listed above plus soda/tea drinks was only about $48 with tax (pre tip). So not only was it an incredible meal with top notch service, but the price was about half of what you pay for the same quantity of food in a more populated or touristy area. Bottom line... The Red onion is a fantastic stop if your in the area and I would argue is well worth the drive if your not. They have top notch hospitality and a vast DELICIOUS menu with incredible prices to boot. I simply cannot wait to visit again and explore the menu further. Great Job!
