Amazing food!…read more Dining al fresco! They do have a crazy thing where if they don't have a button for it, you can't order it. For example, you can have a root beer float but not a ginger beer float even though they have ginger beer. You can only get 4 things on your pizza, not 5. No substitutions on the specialty pizzas. Sometimes the service is amazing but sometimes not. Don't get there within half hour of closing because they want to be gone at closing time. Ambiance is beautiful!

Pros: Great outdoor shady seating…read moreWonderful service Get flights up to 30 Farm to table food Creative dishes that are so unique Cons: Non dairy option of pizza was only meh and kind of boring Ladies bathroom was out of order and the family bathroom was dirty and needed attention Pro tip: So many draft options you are bound to find one you love so be open to trying something new!

One friend ordered a Caesar salad with chicken and got a fruity vinaigrette instead. Another friend ordered a burger and they forgot the bacon. A third friend asked for his burger well-done, but it came out medium, also with no bacon. When he asked the server if it looked well-done, she said she didn't know what well-done looks like. He asked if she could get a new one so he wouldn't get sick, and she said she'd check with the kitchen. No apology. It took 25 minutes for the new burger to come out, and by then we had been there for over an hour and a half. When she finally brought it out, she asked if he wanted a box to take it home. Still no bacon on the burger. Also, no apology again. Overall, not a great experience. Will not be back.

Lots of other menu items to be sure including selection of tacos and some seriously sloppy (in a good way) burgers. The company town store in an old mining town set right alongside the railroad tracks and lovely Hock Hocking Adena bike path makes the Eclipse Company Store a welcoming historic place in a sense. Folks bike there, stop for one of the many local beers on tap, or meet outside and the large patio of picnic tables to listen to music on a small covered bandstand. The upstairs can be rented out as well for special events. The Sunday brunch is a good one as well, especially if you like BBQ.

The service was good seated quick on a high top and the server got our orders in fast and the food was out as well. The Mac n cheese eggrolls were new and interesting. Outside was crispy and crunchy and you bite into a soft Mac n cheese pieces. I ordered the my first rodeo sandwich. It came with chicken, bacon, jalapeños, and the side of vegetables for the sandwich lettuce, tomatoes, onion. The chips are their speciality homemade kettle chips. Those were savory and crunchy. I think they can do a better job with sharing daily specials for the food I know they specialize in beer but I did not try any. Server jumped quick into starting us with drinks. Especially for a tourist like me there should be a welcome since this is a very dandy spot to have a restaurant. So service was a 2/5 food was a 3/5.

We got each of our pups a plain hotdog and the man at the food truck was so sweet and pre-cut them into pieces for us to feed them. We can't wait to come back a third time, they are just so good! Staff is always super friendly as well. The bathrooms are clean and have really fun chalkboard walls to leave funny messages or cute memories. I wholly recommend stopping in here for a well-deserved drink after being outside all day.

Kingston was exceptionally polite and helpful and offered to keep the first half of our order on the heater until the entire order was ready. The food was well-prepared and a little above average for Burger King food. The building was in good condition but seemed to be a little bit older. It appeared to be a time capsule stuck in the era before the awful corporate modernization rebrand. There was even a play place. My adult brother had a great time on the play place until he hit his head and forgot his identity. That last part was a joke. We wouldn't let him in the play place because there were children playing. As an Oklahoma University fan, I didn't appreciate the Buckeye's themed window marketing, but that was balanced out with the joy of finding a Freestyle machine. Also, there was free WiFi. Overall, nothing overly remarkable in a good or bad way. Minor inconveniences balanced by minor conveniences. Great experience in general! :)
