I ordered the roast beef manhattan for myself and the pot roast melt for my friend. When I tell you the meat is DELICIOUS, I mean it's tender, flavorful and melts in your mouth. The mashed potatoes for the manhattan are super fresh and yummy as well. I also ordered a side of the baked apples. I will say, I do agree that the apples are a bit sweeter than I would have personally liked, but I know a lot of people enjoy them super sweet. My only other small sad note was that I had asked for utensils and bread when I placed my order and I made the mistake of not checking for them before leaving. After I picked up my food I stopped in the gift shop and picked up a few jars of jam and apple butter which I am also very excited to use.

We started with one of the giant cinnamon rolls and let me tell you, I've been thinking about it ever since. So warm and delicious and covered in icing!! Good thing I'm not on a diet lol. My husband got some hash bowl with gravy and scrambled eggs and he ate the whole thing. Loved it. It came with a biscuit which was big and warm. I got an omelet with spinach, mushrooms and cheese and it was as big as the plate and so satisfying. We were soooo full at the end, we couldn't even think about dessert. Next time though for sure!!

The food is great but the service and wait times are not. The wait staff did not seem to eager to seat my party and I and we ended up waiting at outside tables for a waiter to come by with menu's for about 20 minutes after we were seated. The food was good but it was not worth all the hassle to get it. Improve the service and courtesy of the staff and then I will return. read more

They do provide water bowls for dogs on the outside patio. We went with a large party of 11 adults and a baby. Bonnie, our server, was fantastic. She got all of her orders accurately, and went above and beyond in taking photos of our family. Above and beyond meaning she literally stepped up and into a planter pot so that she could get our full group in one photo. The wait wasn't too bad for our food to come out considering we did have a large party. My favorites from station 400 are definitely the pancakes, but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I will say they should change the truffle eggs Benedict to be named mushroom eggs Benedict because you really can't taste the truffle. Our group ordered a mix of pancakes, waffles, French toast bites, jalapeño biscuits and gravy, Club sandwich, steak and eggs, and more and everyone all enjoyed the food! I even ordered a club sandwich to go with regular fries and I popped it in the air fryer. Four hours later. It was still perfect and toasted. Loved all the cheese on there. Shoutout again to Bonnie if you go to station 400, I would recommend her to be your server.
