The staff were great- very friendly and helpful. Emma was a standout. She's got that customer service thing down to a science. For dinner I got the grilled shrimp and they were delicious. Served with a side of choice (green beans for me). Hubs got chicken wings and the strawberry salad. Both were very good. I helped with salad so I know. If you are a wine snob then order one of their cocktails. Great cocktails on the menu. I sampled chocolate martini the next night after we dined in Park City. But the first night I had Chardonnay- a bit too sweet but I managed to drink it. Their breakfast is a buffet for $14ish. They had eggs, bacon, sausage (fresh made), pancakes, some fruit and yogurt. I am not sure if you can just order ala carte. Was okay. Lunch we split salad and grown up grilled cheese. Yummy.

Complimentary mini biscuits were very very good! Hubby had the recommended ale, he said it was good. I had the adult grilled cheese with onion rings. Both also good. My kiddo had the niagra ice cream, which was a brownie with ice cream and a fruit topping. Based on how quickly it disappeared, i think it was a winner. For me, the fresh flowers on each table was a very nice touch. Definitely stop by here if you need a cool drink or quick bite to eat.

100% would recommend this restaurant!!!!…read more we arrived right at 5pm when they open back up for the day. firstly the atmosphere and customer service is top tier. everyone is super attentive and welcoming. we started off with mixed drinks, with a very wide selection, each drink we tried was perfectly mixed and balanced. we definitely would recommend the french martini and vette city. as for appetizers, we tried the fried pickles and jalapeños. the batter was light but crunchy and flavorful and the house made ranch paired perfectly with them. main courses i would 1000% recommend the chicken rosa. such a delicious dish with a creamy mash potatoes side and perfectly seasoned and sautéed fresh vegetable side. the lemon caper sauce paired with the chicken was stunning. chicken was cooked perfectly and still very juicy. the basil pasta dish was al dente with a rich, herby, and creamy sauce. the crème brûlée was the most delicious dessert to end the meal with a perfectly crunchy sugar top not too charred and the crème part was flavored very nicely with a good vanilla taste. 5/5 WOULD RECOMMEND

Second, I asked for cheddar cheese on a simple burger, came out with American cheese and very under cooked. My kids also had burgers...they were served with shredded white cheese. One kiddo asked for ceaser salad as side...received a regular house salad with ranch dressing. Then when I sent my burger back as it wasn't cooked--SO PINK--they would not originally correct it and said they would do 10% diccount?! One of our servers didn't know how to use the ordering system and seemed so ditsy and overwhelmed. I don't understand how the order was so screwed up, but completely ruined our evening!!!! Not a lot of food options in Cave City...but don't go here!

My wife and I wanted to try another local spot for a late lunch before departing tomorrow…read more Unfortunately it wasn't the best overall experience. We ordered adult beverages, ordered their buffalo chicken dip, and noticed they had a TouchTunes Jukebox. We love them! There was just my wife and I, two guys talking, and the bartender. I decided to play the Jukebox and I guess it wasn't the music the bartender was expecting so she reset it and I lost four credits! And then she was a little apologetic saying oh he played that? You can play whatever you like and I said no thank you. The buffalo chicken dip was good. Seemed there might've been some cream cheese that wasn't fully mixed in, but it was still very tasty. My wife ordered the fried raviolis and I ordered 10 chicken wings with Cajun dry rub. The ravioli set up on the counter for a few minutes before she brought them over apologizing that they were out early and not with my chicken wings. A few minutes later, my chicken wings were done. With 10 chicken wings I would've expected about five drums and five flappers; however, it was eight flappers and two drums. Oh well. It was still pretty tasty. I had one of my wife's ride raviolis they were OK. Places that have TouchTunes jukebox should really check with people before they bounce songs or give them a free beer if they decide to bounce them.

Great service, good food, low prices!…read more Set in a repurposed gas station, The Dog Pound is a nice spot to grab some good BBQ in Cave City. It may be your only spot, but that's not a knock on it. It was a pleasant August evening, so we grabbed a booth outside beneath the canopy that used to shelter drivers gassing up. The menu is straightforward. I was shocked at how low the prices are, particularly for the quality. The pulled port was good, but the sides is where it's at! Don't miss the cowboy beans which were fantastic! The potato salad was unique in that it let the eggs flavor come through. Plus, they have Ski! Service took maybe five minutes from our order to our table. Also, friendly and helpful! Very impressed!

The staff is super friendly and jumped up to assist me when I walked in. It smells amazing when you enter the door like smoked meats. I ordered their pork shoulder special with baked beans. It was so flavorful and so much food. There was enough leftover to make another meal. It was hard to stop eating because it was so yummy. Another couple walked up while I was eating and I was telling them how good the food was. They said they knew and eat there at least once a week. I can see why! They are pet friendly and allow dogs oustide under the patio area. This was a delightful spot where the staff makes you feel like you're at home and the food is absolutely mouth watering.

The staff was super friendly, even if they don't know what a card catalog or the Dewey Decimal system is. There were couches and tables and vast variety of seating options.

I needed protein so I had the Trailblazer wrap that had chicken in it. It was packed full of a delicious combination of flavors and sauced with the perfect amount of sriracha mayo. It came with a healthy portion of chips. I forgot to take a pic until I had eaten half. It was sooo good. We asked the staff for recommendations for other good places to eat in the area. They were super helpful.
