Tonight, the Winter Olympics from Milan Italy were the topic, but my son and I were more interested in having dinner. He eats here often and recommended their Smashburger (see the pic). Nothing about them was smashed--they were humongous burgers--well worth the price, with all the garnishes, and fries. Seriously, you can't leave here hungry! Most of the menu is café and backyard barbecue type food, but the 12 ounce ribeye with a dinner salad and a loaded baked potato really stands out. I posted their current menu, 2/18/26. I'm impressed with the seating-- all solid wood tables and wrap-around chairs with armrests--very comfortable, especially if you're watching the TV for an extended time. One combo-waitress-bartender handled 20 patrons effortlessly--service with a smile! And of course there is a full-service bar in the main salon with a pool table, darts and gaming tables on the side, and lots of offstreet parking. Four stars for sure, maybe five!

It wasn't loud or crowded when we stopped by for lunch Sunday. Plenty of tables for large groups too. I got the eggs Benedict - the squirrel. It was okay, the hollandaise sauce was a bit bland compared to what my friends had. Potatoes were great though. My friends got the chicken fried steak (loved the gravy!) and the burrito was delicious too. Would definitely stop by for the chicken fried steak again.

We ordered the combo Lone Star BBQ platter; smoked brisket and pork roast slices, pinto beans, slaw and a full order of their house Mac&Cheese. The meats were a generous portion, a warning, the M&C was huge and delicious. The meal was hot and served within 15 minutes. Although the pork was very good, the brisket was fantastic. Haven't had that good of smoked brisket since we were in Houston, TX last year. Turns out the owners, the husband is the chef, are from Texas. All their desserts; cakes, pies, danishes and cookies are made in-house. We shared a large slice of Cherry Pie, just excellent. We will definitely return and try the smoked ribs !

The wonderful server was just fun, and happy, she gave us the low down on a daily menu oddity, but the rest of the limited (for good reasons) menu was great. I had the Smoked brisket and cheese sandwich (smoked right there in a real outdoor smoker). It was delicious, smokey, tender, and the bread was very good. My wife had the Reuben, which she said, and I agreed, tasted great, it was on a marbled rye bread. I think the sandwiches are actually crafted with care, rather than just slapped together. My tea was bottomless, and I drink a lot of tea. We wholeheartedly recommend The Raven and Rooster. Being so far out in the beautiful forest, I bet it is hard to get staff to get out there for short peak demands, so, relax, enjoy your time together. Outstanding experience, we will be going back soon.

There really are not a lot of options for dining in this area and we were very very hungry as we…read morewere driving through. We finally found this on Yelp and when I saw that they had a 4.3 star average with 10 reviews, I felt confident that we should stop here. Again, there were not a lot of options and I was driving so I was unable to read the reviews. When we pulled up to the address, we thought it was a residence with three cars parked outside. We double-checked the information and saw a sign that this was indeed The Raven and Rooster. We also found something that said they offer outdoor seating, but we didn't see anything like that. Because we travel with our dog, I asked my husband to go in and check while I waited outside with her. When he came back he confirmed that although it looks like a house, the front room area has been converted to look like a restaurant with multiple tables. He was told there was outdoor seating in the rear and that we could walk around and seat ourselves. There were some shrubs to the right of the building with a small break between them and the building, so we assumed that was the way to get to the rear from the outside because there was no obvious route. As we were walking through the gravel area on the side of the house, someone inside the kitchen area began banging on the window. It scared me. I looked up to see a man waving his arms at us. I could not make out what he was saying but he seemed very angry. We continued to the rear and there was a small deck with a few tables on it. I told my husband that this all felt very weird and I didn't not feel like staying. He said he was very hungry and couldn't find anywhere else to eat in the area, so I agreed to stay. The setup in the back looked more like somebody's backyard with a few tables, then a restaurant patio. After a while, a young boy (maybe 13) came outside with some menus. I got the impression that this is a small family-run operation where the owner and his son most likely live on site and run this small business together. While I respect the effort that goes into running a small business, as a customer, the experience still matters. After seeing a menu prices I again told my husband that I wanted to leave. I was not expecting to pay $30+ per plate to get bit by mosquitoes at what felt like a neighbor's potluck. He again, replied that he was starving and asked if we could just please get through it. He ordered the brisket and I ordered the nachos. After placing our order, the young man said it would be a very long wait for food. He was right. They were also out of some items which made the menu more limited but I do understand that as they are kind of out in the middle of nowhere. When our food finally arrived, I thought that there had been a mistake or perhaps they were out of the items to make my meal as well. I asked the young man if he was sure that he had brought me the correct plate and he said yes. I explained that I had ordered nachos and there were no chips on my plate. Apparently their version of nachos is made with potatoes instead of tortilla chips, which was definitely unexpected. The food itself was actually tasty after I got past the potato confusion. My husband also enjoyed his brisket. Unfortunately, the food is the only part of this experience that can earn any stars. There were bugs everywhere, the patio furniture was dirty and because the sun was going down it got freezing cold by the time we finally received our food and finished eating. We ended up spending around $80 for the two of us to eat. If we paid a lower price for a casual roadside meal, I think I could be more forgiving about the slow service, unusual setup and lack of ambiance, but at that price point, I expect the overall dining experience to be more polished. I had hoped this would be a cozy dog friendly stop on our road trip. Instead it felt awkward, expensive, slow and incredibly uncomfortable. The food was good but not good enough to save this unpleasant experience.

She apologized for our experience and offered to refund our credit card (in person as that's the only way they can do it) or give us a gift card for two meals. I chose the gift card option & will pick it up the next time we're in. We're willing to try their food again because of the great customer service. Heather was so professional and kind. Thank you Heather!
