The food was very good. We arrived on a Tuesday at 12:30 and were greeted by prominent signage…read morethat "no tables were to be seated until the full party had arrived." I suppose proximity to the Va Creeper Trail encouraged this as I could see folk holding up a table whilst waiting would be a potential issue. We were seated promptly and given menus and served water and sodas. The rock music was pretty loud for the restaurant, which has some smaller rooms that are serviceable but cramped and a bit echoey and dark. By 12:35 our order was in and by 12:51 on our table. The table has a nice individual light, and a bottle of water on the table. Unlike some other local restaurants, soda refills are free and a pitcher was brought by the table to serve refills of diet coke. What was not good was the large beer poster of the St Paulie Girl with her nipples hanging out. I realize these are beer posters and I realize they are German and things are different there. But this was a prominently placed poster. I just wouldn't think a place where a lot of families dine would put this in such a prominent spot, or any spot really. I'm not a super prude, I just raised three sons. So the sandwich though, was very good.

We stopped in on a Sunday and managed to catch the time between breakfast (ends at 11AM) and brunch. I appreciated that fresh-made eggs and pancakes are part of the buffet. Als, the biscuits are on point. The potatoes they were serving were in a fairly unusual style (in thin seasoned strips), but they were just shy of going soft and the texture made them a tasty treat. Also, for the meat eaters, they had some lovely fried chicken in the brunch. Given the prices they were charging, the value on that is spectacular. I also really liked their salad bar. The variety of items was on point and I got to learn what an ambrosia salad was! This is definitely a great spot to stop in and fill-up. It's clearly a community joint with a bunch of locals. But they welcomed us right in and the server checked on us frequently, even though it was a buffet. I'll definitely pop in again the next time I'm driving through town!

It wasn't visually appealing. Some items were in need of replenishing, which they did later. Service was sub-par. The hostess seemed indifferent and took us to the far end of the restaurant. The whole place was cold. I had to go back out to the car and get my jacket. I observed other customers putting on jackets or hoodies. I had the impression our server was new. She did ok, but we had to flag her down to get a coffee refill. We were looking forward to finishing our meal with a dish of the cobbler from the buffet topped off with a bit of the soft serve we had observed another customer getting from the machine earlier. When we went to the machine they had taped a piece of notebook paper to the front with a handwritten "sorry, machine is being cleaned." I mean who cleans the machine during dinner hours? Listen, you will get a satisfying meal here at a reasonable price, but you might prefer to go down the road to The Mason Jar.

I've taken business associates and family with the highest confidence that they would experience the finest meal they've ever had. Sadly, my last two visits, My guests and I were disappointed.

We finished our "Non-Tavern-like" meal looking forward to the excellent cheesecake we've enjoyed dozens of times. Not tonight, my friend! We were told they now offer a homemade flavored cheese cake. Only i opted to try it. What i was served was a small square that tasted little like the excellent NY-style one they served for years. Our server, who the bartender said was now one of the owners, told us that the cheesecake we had bragged about for years, "that old cheesecake was from Cisco!" Hmmm. Very sad! What happened? New chef? New owners? I don't know but the Bottom line is we'll likely find another restaurant that hasn't put profits ahead of quality.

We were told there was going to be a 15 min wait, but we're seated with five minutes. We got crab Rangoon, which was delicious. The portion was fairly small for the price. But, fortunately main courses followed soon after. I got the pad thai and it was really tasty. I chose tofu as the protein, and they went fairly light on the tofu. Also, I'm used to my pod Thai having a few more bells and whistles, like more greens, sprouts, and more than one lime wedge. But, it's on me for not requesting extras of those things. I ate all of my food. The portion was just right for a sit down meal and that worked well for me because as a tourist who was bopping around town, I did not want to have a to go box. Service was friendly and attentive. The place was pretty big and fairly loud, but the tables were spaced well between each other so we weren't impacted by the noise on either side. If you're trying to find a place that multiple people will agree on, this isn't a bad choice because they have a variety of different cuisines. Overall, I would definitely stop back at some point, though I might not seek it out as my top choice for a place to eat in the area.
