I should have known not to enter this establishment as I was entering the parking lot on a Saturday…read moreevening at 7pm, busiest time of the week for restaurant businesses, and the parking lot was empty but one car. I took my chances with my granddaughter and regretted it. Prices way to high for the quality of the food and service. Service was poor, waitress cussed a few times trying to make humor...not cool with my 11 year old granddaughter in tow. Plates piled up on our table as I tried taste testing something of quality on the buffet and had to hunt down waitress for check. I would hate to see what would happen if they were actually busy. Yikes

Waitress was nice and checked in on our meal after it was delivered. Food: THAT REUBEN SANDWICH OMG. I will be back just for that. The tater tots were super crispy and ask for the jalapeno ranch dipping sauce, you won't regret it. Unfortunately the other person I dined with got the prime beef (prime rib? not sure) sandwich. The meat was tender but had no flavor. There was a ton of fat on it that was inedible so they ended up having to dissect their sandwich and eat it with a fork and knife and cut off all the inedible bits. Drinks: Good old fashioneds here. Can't wait to come back! Prices were reasonable.

The food was mediocre my burger was over cooked when I asked for medium and my husband asked for rare and he got well done also the burgers had no flavor even with ketchup mustard ect nothing could bring out the flavor it's tasted like boiled meat. The fries were obviously frozen crinkle fries.

In Respone to jacquelline C review…read more I was there while these two were having their meal. She complained about how the guys drink was made - it wasn't even her drink - guess she could see 15 feet down the bar while the drink was being made - and said it wasn't a 'double'. Despite the drink being for the guy with her and not for her. She complained a lot every chance she got. Amber added more alcohol to drink in an effort to make them happy, even though she didn't have too. Then she started in with the "oh No you don't have too, it's fine, it's fine." So which is it? was the drink fine or was it not? Maybe they don't know how things work in a bar, in regards to Amber spending time with people coming in for lunch. Maybe they don't know when it is busy for lunch people ask for drinks, then they ask about things on the menu, then they place their order. She wanted to be waited on like she was the only customer in the bar and have someone at her call whenever she wanted something . I was sitting close enough to hear her constant complaining, nothing Amber could have done was going make her happy. maybe SHE was having a bad day or maybe she is just a miserable person

First time here on a Friday afternoon. I went even though the previous reviews I read about the…read moreservice were poor. And thought maybe they had a bad day. Well apparently not. Amber was our waitress. And it was horrible. She spent most of her time at the end of the bar with the guys coming in for lunch. Wasn't friendly and very slow. Didn't come back to check on us. Food was good but the service was so bad we would never come back.

We had an unfortunate experience this past Saturday at The Washington Inn in Cecil…read more We came in with a party of 10 around 5pm, fully expecting a wait since they don't take reservations--but we did not expect to wait 1 hour and 45 minutes. During that time, no one from staff checked in with us, which made the wait feel even longer. When we finally asked a manager for an update, her response came across as dismissive. She mentioned a private dining group and said she'd ask if we could be seated there. Meanwhile, we noticed open tables in the main dining area that seemed like they could have been pushed together, but we were told that wasn't an option. After being seated, I politely asked the manager if they might consider offering a couple of appetizers on the house given the long wait. She said she would check with the owner/chef, but when our waitress arrived, we were told "no" without any further explanation. That said, I do want to be fair--the food was very good. The steaks were cooked perfectly and seasoned very well, and the rest of the meals were also very good. Once we were seated, the service itself was prompt. It's just disappointing that the overall experience lacked communication and a bit of customer care. A small gesture could have gone a long way. Because of that, we likely won't return--but we will say the food is great, even if the service and communication left a lot to be desired.
