I was told by some of the patrons and the employees that if you get there before 11:30 ish there is usually plenty of choices. When I arrived around 12:30 there were only marinated chicken breasts and they were grilling fresh hamburgers. I decided to try a burger and also got some of the macaroni salad from the little deli case. The burger was made by hand from fresh ground beef and it was not bad. I've had better and I've had much worse. They do have a few condiments you can add such as pickles, onion, ketsup and mustard. The macaroni salad was creamy and delicious. I thought the burger could've used a little seasoning but overall it wasn't bad. My meal was less than $5 so I am calling it a win! There are a few tables and chairs where you can eat if you'd like but I took mine to go. They have coolers where you can get drinks, frozen meats and seafoods, deli sandwiches etc. and they have a few deli meats and cheeses and fresh cut meats for sale also. There are seasonings and a few bbq sauces for sale as well. Everyone I encountered was super friendly and helpful and I will definitely come back when I'm in the area again and the next time I'll make sure I am there by 11:30 so I can have a plate lunch!

Next we ordered the Nando wedge and French onion soup. For our entrees we enjoyed the Maine Diver Scallop Bucatini, Agrodolce Wild Duck Breast, and our son had sides of macaroni and cheese and Parmesan Truffle Pommes Frites. While we were absolutely full after these courses and had parts of our meal boxed to go, our son insisted he had an extra stomach for dessert. We ordered the Lemon Tart and Creme Brulee. We had the bourbon soaked cherries that came with the crème brulee put on the side. The menu selections, the ambiance, the staff, and especially the food were all amazing.

Worse service ever received at this restaurant. Waited over 20 minutes before getting greeted or names on list. Hostess was rude. Blonde waitress complained the whole time about owner,cook, prom kids, etc. Food took over an hour and was wrong even salad. Pure carbonated drink needed change. Never offered refills or checked on us, but Brown hair waitress did. She was a better waitress to us than ours was. Ours was always on her phone. People came in after us got their food before us including a 7 top table. Busser was working extremely hard and trying to help everyone. He deserves a raise .waited until gave check to ask for caah cause credit card machine is a pain to work with plusbetter for her tips she said. Do not currently recommend. Used to be good. Hadn't been a bit because supposedly closed for remodeling in March but nothing looked like it had been changed at all. If go highly recommend the waitress with straight brown hair unfortunately don't know names because no name tags nor do they say their name when saying they will be your waitress. She definitely covers everyone's tables- not sure if she is part of family but she runs laps around orhers. read more
