We came for Sunday brunch (and to redeem some free slot play) but we were later than usual. That…read morebeing said, the food should still be acceptable. The biscuits were kind of hard on the edges, bacon was soggy and the eggs were pretty runny. The other food was decent and there was plenty of it. Just certain things like the bread pudding in the dessert area was well beyond the time it needed to be out. I put a spoon into it, and it was no longer soft and moist like you'd expect, so I didn't even scoop it out. For what you get there, $49 for two people is maybe a little much. Some things were good, like the crab cakes, but other things like the pizza seemed like store bought. We may try it again if we're there. Just not super impressed with it. Edit: we went back today (albeit earlier than last time) and the food was much better. I guess timing is everything. It wasn't very busy this morning (maybe everyone was still at church?) so the person clearing tables and getting drinks was very attentive. So I'd have to give them another star for that.

We've been here a couple of times and the outcomes have been very different. Sometimes the food is…read morecooked to perfection and hot. The last time we were there, most of the food was cold (especially the prime rib, cold and overcooked) I have a hard time paying what they want for their buffet and not knowing if the food is going to be edible or not.

Walked in and clearly this is a local hotspot for regulars. We were there on a Sunday(around 10:30am). Gentleman in front of us had the paper and was acknowledged by one of the waitresses to sit at the 2nd blue booth and she would be right with him. Gotta hometown feel. We were seated by an older gentleman (didn't realized he worked there. Looked like a customer). He mumbled "follow me". No "hi" "good morning" Strange but ok. Waiter was also not very talkative. Some might dislike this service or not. I don't really mind. I'm there for food, not chit chat. Coffee, diet pepsi and water. Coffee was real good. International Delight creamer cups already on the table for convenience. Water more than likely was filtered and not straight city water(at least it tasted good to me). I got biscuits and gravy with 2 eggs (over easy). Impressive serving. 2 biscuits cut in half, smothered in sausage peppered gravy. Biscuits we good. Nothing fancy to say about those. Gravy was creamy and plenty of sausage throughout. Perhaps too peppery for my liking but I was able to finish the plate. (Did I mention we were hangry?). Eggs were ok(we are use to farm fresh). Over easy like I ordered. Boyfriend requested House Skillet with choice of toast for side. Imagine a garden, then toss some hash browns in, meats and slap on 2 eggs! All the things in this skillet. Mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes, ham, bacon, sausage, hash browns, cheese-all topped with 2 over easy eggs! Hefty portion! He was happy with it. Not "bangin" but great taste. For the quick decision of stopping here, we were happy. Service was speedy. Just not service with a smile. Perhaps Sundays are their busiest days. Oh forgot to mention! Cheap! Large portions- ain't leavin hungry for a penny pincher!

We decided we would come back and try it for lunch because the breakfast was very good…read more Unfortunately the lunch fell down for us. Smaller salads which is fine, but the honey mustard dressing was skimpy and not best. No bread served with the salad or even salad crackers. My wife had a hamburger and I had a patty melt. Both appeared to be preformed hamburger patties. You can pretty much tell, same shape, not much taste or flavor. My wife said hers was dried out. We go for the diners that use fresh ground beef, hand made. We ate maybe half of each. The fries and onion rings were good, but difficult to justify at +$30 for both meals. Doubtful that we would try much else here for lunch but the breakfast is very good.

I read about this being a "must" when in the area and made the 50 minute drive from Sabula with the girls in tow arriving just before 6 on a Saturday. I did not realize you drive thru the actual state park and then down the dustiest road in America to get there. My car was covered in dust (and bugs from the rest of the drive) on arrival. We were told it would be about 30 minutes and went outside to feed the fish and ducks. It was probably less than that time when our buzzer went off and we were seated in the tiny dining room. I feel like they should serve in the bar area where there are more tables instead of making people wait so long. They could double the occupancy. But maybe not enough staff? We got the haddock special for two of us and another went with grilled cheese. I have to say it was really dry. And the tartar sauce was totally smooth and grey - I didn't even know what it was when the server first put it down. The fries are wedge and fine, but I'm not a fan of wedge style so I didn't really eat them. Good coleslaw. Surprising they have no desserts. I guess it just helps to move people in and out because there are signs up too telling you not to linger (in nicer words). We stopped at McDonald's on the way home for McFlurries and that seemed to make the kids happy. Maybe it was an off batch (we only had one plate) but I'm not sure I'd want to make this trip again.
