We had a fantastic dining experience. The meatloaf and mashed potatoes were excellent and the green beans are the best! Others at the table had the roasted chicken, pot roast and salmon. Everyone raved about the food!

When my party first arrived the staff were very polite and friendly and when I had to inform them my party is bigger than what I had reserved they were very understanding and were quick to work on a solution for my party. Due to my party being higher than 8 people we did have to sit outside but that was no problem at all because they have fans that helped cool us off, and they also have water mist they can enable to further cool off guest. The food was fantastic and everything looked picture perfect, I plan on returning to try more!

The menu is very diverse and the servings are huge, but my meal was only ok. I’ve eaten here before, but this time it seemed the food was over seasoned. I had the sardou eggs benny and it said it had spinach; I guess I was expecting that much spinach and it overpowered the meal and made the bread soggy. If I go again I’ll ask more questions. Also, the coffee was lukewarm. Service was great though!
