    So I stoped for lunch and this is my second experience here. Although the offering selection is still on the limited side for selection, I had the baked chicken. It was outstanding and a dish I will use in comparison moving forward. The gal that helped me toady was very personable and I had a wonderful experience.

    Buffet style comfort food. You can't beat it. They have the BEST salad bar & the apple butter on homemade rolls is so freakin good. The staff takes great care of the buffet and guests. You can also order off their regular menu and they also have specials daily. 10/10 recommend.

    Ever had the urge to step back in time? Perhaps to feel like an extra in the movie Cocoon? Wonder whether any of the other patrons will assume room temper before leaving? Or maybe you feel the "need for speed" by dashing away in a bus destined for a retirement home? If you answered "yes" to any of the above, then this is the place for you. The clientele are octogenarians , the service staff is donned in clothing fresh out of the 19th century, and it's truly like dining in a clean barn. With that said, the fried chicken is very good, the pasta a little salty and the people are friendly. If you need a quick bite in the middle of nowhere, check it out. It'll make you feel young again, quite simply because in this place, 75 is a spring chicken. It's 3 stars all day long.

    The fried chicken was good. The rest of the buffet wasn't amazing. I'd probably not go back.

Well I figured we would go ahead and check if they were still serving. The owner told us to have a seat and he would feed us! There were only a couple others in the restaurant. We both ordered a salad and drinks, our server was prompt with both, pleasant and made us feel like we were with friends! The salads were great, 1st time we've ever seen grill top fried potatoes mixed in with our steak and chicken salad's! Seemed strange but we are now fans of that! You just don't expect this kind of service anymore which is a sad. We cannot give a higher recommendation to Ickey's than five stars and that is indeed a shame :) We do not make a habit of entering a business at closing time and do not recommend it, but this simply could not have been handled better by the owner and his staff!

We experienced about an hour wait before we were seated, they were really busy. The wait after we ordered was a bit frustrating, it was about an hour until our food arrived. The server was attentive and apologetic but they must have been super backed up. I started with the cherry ginger beer mocktail and it tasted like cherry soda. I ordered the Greek salad and found it to be a little heavy on the chickpeas but the dressing was good and light. We started with the lemon ricotta & bread- it was really tasty but the way that it was served was a little awkward in a small jar. As a shareable, it would be easier in a more open bowl, easier for more people to access. We also got the lamb meatballs and it came with pita and tzatziki- I enjoyed it (not spicy fyi). My sister got the miso salmon and I had food envy, that was the best dish at our table. It had a really nice sweet glaze on it with rice and broccolini.

Truth is though...a restaurant is about eating, right? There's no half a star option so gotta go with 2. First, as you can see from the photos the place is absolutely beautiful. The service was top notch! Kind and welcoming hostess as we entered and greetings from a different one as we left. Server Chelsea (Chelsea P I think) was absolute perfection. I'm glad I finally remembered to get the server's name to give recognition where due. The food though.... My NA drink was beautiful and kudos to them for having options. If I remember correctly though it was $12 and the serving was so small. It was good, not excellent. Can get an alcoholic drink for $12. Maybe not here? Didn't check. Greek appetizer plate for $18....hummus, tzatziki olives feta cheese and bread were great. The portions of hummus and tzatziki were incredibly small. Basically a ramiken. The tomatoes and apricots were not good, and looking back at the menu description I'm realizing we didn't get peppers on ours. Lamb burger and upgrade to parmesan fries. I've never had a bad lamb burger or parmesan fries in my life...til now. The burger had zero flavor and same with the fries. The fries were warm when served and immediately went cold. Had me thinking they weren't cooked fresh. Our server was kind enough to offer some house made chips that would normally come with the burger so that we could taste them (if we didn't do the upgrade to fries). They were ok, but personally I don't come to a restaurant to eat chips. I hate that over the past couple years the trend with restaurants is to give you chips and make you pay if you want fries. Can get chips at a gas station. I digress. Lemongrass Grilled Chicken sandwich. I was really excited for my husband to get this but he too was incredibly disappointed. Hardly any chicken, no flavor, lots of bread that overwhelmed the sandwich. He was disappointed in his quickly cold fries as well. All in all with tax and tip a $75 bill which is just crazy for what we had/the quality. The worst $75 ever spent on a meal. I asked my husband how he'd rate Atlas since I was torn (and it was an early bday celebration for him ugh) and he said well below average especially since the only great food items were olives, feta, hummus tzatziki and bread...which are not special to the restaurant.

We dined upstairs (Pub on lower level) and had some excellent food. The Garlic Breaded Cheese Curds are amazing (cubed cheese) and recommend either/or Marinara and Ranch. The Pretzel was also very good, but the standout was the bar cheese sauce, which appears more of a creamy fondue than straight cheese wiz and was very flavorful. Main dishes were the Pollock Fish Basket with Fries, Chicken Quesadilla with Lime Rice and the Steak Bites App with a side of Broccoli. Everything was very good,l and the food was hot and service super fast. Staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and dining right on the lake is always a plus. Plus we didn't have a wait arriving at 6:30ish on a Saturday evening. Bent Prop Pub earned a five star review due to its food, ambiance, staff and being a nice little gem of a restaurant and pub tucked away in a sleepy section of the Eastern shore of Coldwater Lake. Would definitely go back when we are back up in the area.

Swipe left to scroll through the pages. Touch an item for a description and wine pairing suggestions. Fancy. She told us what the lunch specials were and took a drink order. They offer Pepsi products. My SO went with an all-you-can-eat soup & salad bar. Soups on this day are cowboy bean and loaded potato. Lettuce is an iceberg mix with red cabbage and carrots. A variety of veg,, mayonnaise based salads, toppings like croutons and seeds and a variety of dressings were available. I opted for a steak salad. I was 'hangry' and did not take a photo. The salad was large. Same lettuce mix of iceberg with red cabbage and carrot. Half a dozen grape tomatoes, chopped hard boiled egg, a load of shredded cheese and three 'broasted' potato wedges. This is topped with sliced steak, cooked to your preference with a side of salad dressing. Very filling. We paid by scanning a QR code on our reciept, but the waitress can also cash you out if you prefer. She was very bubbly and kept an eye on us checking in a couple of times The restaurant is clean. Decor 'Americana' with heavy wood tables and metal chairs. Restrooms are off the hotel lobby down another corridore. For the price to portion size, friendly staff and menu options, this is a good stop

Unfortunately they were closed on Sunday so I had to call into my bank and cancel my card. While reviewing the transactions, I realized the amount they had authorized to my card was $10 more than our bill+tip. I used to be a server and worked at a bank so I know how authorizations work so I patiently waited until it cleared. My worst fears were confirmed! Not only did she not return my debit card after payment, apparently she was upset with her 12% tip and added a 1 to my tip to make it +$10! I called pretty upset on Monday afternoon and talked to a manager named Collin who seemed to not care about the issue. No apologies, only to promise to talk to the owner to see if they could do something for me since I lived out of state. I waited until Friday to call them back and was told by the hostess that Natalie would be calling me back later as she was on a call. She did call back about 1 1/2 hours later and said she had already refunded my card for the $10 and that she had looked at the receipt and it appeared I had issues writing with the pen so she could see how the server (Caitlyn) could have thought the tip was $16. 25! I let her know I had no issues with the pen and anything other than my 6.25 on the receipt was added by her server. I told her I was worried for all of the other tables where she had given bad service to and she had done the same thing. She said the server already gave the store back the $10 and apologized for the confusion. Sorry, there was no confusion here! I do truly appreciate Natalie with apologizing for the issue and refunding the money but I would never go to this place and if you do, I would make sure your server wasn't named Natalie. I changed my rating from a 4 to a 1 due to this fiasco. This one was hard to rate. Wish Yelp let me do somewhere around 3.5-3.8. What was good? We walked in and only had to wait about 10 minutes on a Saturday night the weekend of Mother's Day. Our server started off really bad. Didn't introduce herself and she started talking when we weren't even looking at her not realizing she had made it to the table. Her service didn't get much better from there. No mention of the specials. No offer of adult beverages. Bad. Just... What do you want to drink? I used to be a server so I know what they are told to do. We started off with cheese curds and they were pretty good. A little burnt tasting which it felt like was due to older oil that they were fried in. Other than that, they were pretty good. My wife got the Balsamic Chicken Breasts and she absolutely loved hers! She took half of it home so it felt like a pretty good value. I got the Sully Burger and had high hopes. It was good, don't get me wrong. But was it amazing? Nah. The burger was completely overdone and dry. Also didn't love the fried potatoes on it as much as I thought I would. Unfortunately, I was most excited about the horseradish sauce on the burger and it was non-existent. But... All this being said, it was a good burger. Not great. The ambiance of the place was pretty cool and we did really enjoy ourself. So.. I rated it on here at a 4 but probably not quite that good considering the horrible service. She also took forever to come check on us and bring us our check. Probably 20 minutes once we were done (and 20 min after we told her we were done!)
