We spend that five minutes waiting for the hostess to return to her post. We were then seated and given one menu to share. We waited another 25 minutes without even being asked if we would like a glass of water. At this time, we decided to leave and speak with the manager on our way out. She was very busy bartending When speaking with us, she did seem in a rush to get back to bartending. The night was saved! We walked just up the block to THISTLEDOWN & ROW, who NEVER disappoint!! FIVE STARS!! We won't go back to McCollum's.

Bob's Burgers on the screen and consider the Burger of the day, it's from the official Bob's Burgers Cookbook... I took somebody else's suggestion and I have no regrets. I have 2 bites left.Royale Melt a dynamite 2 burger patty with caramelized onions, American cheese, and Swiss cheese and their signature secret sauce.. totally worth it! If I can get my husband to eat his burger, I'll have a good feedback on that one too as he got the classic Royale with cheese no tomato. I got the fries and they're totally dynamite and i got a side of cheese sauce too.. I wish I lived closer the fellow at the county with all the tattoos is fantastic. His tattoos are wonderful, and the fact that they move back to town to work for himself, says a lot about people who live here and trying to make a go with something that they love. I'm telling my friends and my family could come up to our house to check this place out before they even come to the lake..

The dining room was very dated and in need of basic maintenance and cleaning. Not what I would expect from a restaurant in a "country club". We should have just left after looking around, my mistake. Based on the atmosphere and quality of food; it is very overpriced. Waitress was friendly enough but that couldn't make up for what the food was lacking. Obviously, we won't be going back.

I think it was ready early as the food was not very hot. You pickup at the bar and they don't keep warm. They put in styrofoam containers. Bartenders weren't rude but they weren't overly friendly either. The food was very good but I am betting it would have been excellent if hot - especially the fries. I got a pork tenderloin sandwich. It was HUGE. Look at the pic. The poor bun doesn't have a chance. lol. It was very good. Fries appeared to be fresh cut and were tasty. I do recommend. If in the area again, I would go back.

Pancakes are also good. Breakfast potatoes are not good, overcooked and undercooked at the same time. Facility could use some maintenance, floor of building is way out of level and the tables are tilting to the point you wonder if your drink is going to tip over. I would not use the bathroom there, toilet handles falling off, just gross in general. Walls are all scratched up and need some help. Overall cleanliness of restraunt not good. Table was soaking wet when we sat down, paper menus were soaked through once sat down. Wait staff did their best on the busy day, no real complaints. They need a short shutdown for facility maintenance is my real only suggestion.

You just answer a few questions about your preferences and they make something based on what is on hand. I ended up with a spicy onion and ham sandwich. Very tasty! They also had a bunch of cheese samples. I liked what I tried so much that I simply had to grab a few things. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Several regulars came in while I ate and I can see why. I only wish I lived closer!
