I got a dozen bagels for $30, which I think is pretty expensive (more than places in NYC and other…read moremajor cities), especially for what it was. I got plain (3/5), pretzel (4/5), tomato basil with asiago (3.5/5), everything (3.5/5), blueberry (3.5/5), sesame (3.5/5), cinnamon (3/5), cranberry (3/5), and chocolate chip (4/5), with some repeats. All the bagels were really soft and chewy, too much so for me. The service was good, and the staff are friendly (4.5/5). The interior of the restaurant is well decorated and seems like a good spot to meet up (4/5)!

This place has potential but unfortunately they continue to fall short from the few times we've…read moretried to give them a chance. My kind recommendation from a local that wants y'all to grow and succeed - invest in technology and staff training immediately. We went on a few days that was crowded and busy. This coffee and bagel shop doesn't have true competition around, so for local patrons the options are limited. By the time we got to the counter after standing in a long line, the staff had run out of printer paper to take our order. So the team decided to handwrite our order (which then led to us receiving an incorrect order on top of a long wait) Now the food itself I give it a 4/5 (this is the potential part) As for the staff & ambiance/ atmosphere: 1/5 The staff was kind but they did not have the tools to be set up for success. To the management, stop making your staff look bad. We want to support and see yall flourish so please invest in their training and better pos technology to streamline the bottleneck at the counter. Also, better coffee options wouldn't hurt. Kind regards.

Our server was really friendly and patient, because we had some questions. The food did not take that long, nor the drinks. We had a pretty good spread. The only thing that was an absolute no were the pita chips. We let our server know and he agreed and said that the only two instances where he has worked there, this being the third, where an issue has arisen, was with the pita chips. He even mentioned that he has told the chefs before but they still haven't changed it. You could knock someone out with them, that is how hard they were. Despite that, everything else was delicious and the atmosphere made for a great celebration!

At her recommendation, my husband had the blackened salmon and asparagus. He normally doesn't use the word "delicious" but he said the salmon (and that bourbon dipping sauce) was delicious.

You pay your tab at the register in the front of the diner. When I was asked if I wanted to add a tip to the card amount I said "yes please add 15%." The lady at the register told me that she could "only put in whole numbers" for the tip amount so I had to tip 20% or 10%. Really? No, seriously,...really?? Sigh.

Myself and 3 others spent a couple nights at the lodge for a ladies weekend. Check in was easy and…read morethe front desk staff was friendly. When we arrived to our room the first thing I noticed was the view! We were on the ground level, so we had a nice sitting area just outside the room. Although it was too cold to sit outside, the view from inside was just as nice. Once I started looking around at the room I noticed how outdated and in need of deep cleaning it was. The carpet was stained, our bedding was stained, the wallpaper was peeling off, dirt and grime had gathered in the corners, and there was toothpaste or cleaning spray all over the bathroom mirror and sink. My side of the bed was caving in, so when I laid on my left side I rolled a bit, which makes me think maybe the mattresses need to be replaced. I will say, the pillows were comfy! That evening we ate at the restaurant where we ordered off the menu. I ordered The Falls Burger, which is your basic cheeseburger with the usual toppings - lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, and your choice of cheese. The burger tasted like it was previously frozen, but the fries were delicious! Our waitress, McKenzie, was incredible! She was attentive and friendly and deserves recognition! We ended up back at the lodge restaurant the following evening where they were serving a buffet dinner only, no option to order off the menu. McKenzie was great once again, but unfortunately, the food was not. The buffet consisted of soup, salad, mac-n-cheese, rolls, yellow rice, black eyed peas, BBQ chicken, catfish, carrot cake, pumpkin pie, and apple pie. All of the items I ate were cold and just mediocre. You can imagine my surprise when I saw the $46 bill - $27.99 for an adult and $15.99 for a child. Absurd for the lack of options and for the cold food. (Keep in mind that the closest towns with good dining options are at least 30 mins away.) During nice weather the falls are gorgeous to hike up to and the park is fun to explore, but take note if you have children with you and the weather isn't great, there's not much for them to do. The park itself is beautiful and well worth a trip! And I truly believe the lodge could be brought back to life with a few changes.

Not in the staff but there are some minor interior issues which could be addressed. As the dining area and service areas are open plan you can easily see the duct tape doors to the dishwashers area is in dire need of repair versus patching. Also it is rather filthy along the edges. The wall a/c unit also needs to be completely cleaned as it appears to have some grime building up. Now for the biggest disappointment ... our food. Coffee - yummy Country fried steak biscuit..... yea nope not again. It's just like it says just a huge very thin slice of commercial packaged frozen patty of country fried steak laid across an open faced biscuit. I had a side of fresh fruit. But it was mostly out of season fruit so not sweet and still underripe. Biscuit was light and fluffy but I had to order a piece of cheese and some gravy to hide the flavor of the meat and coating. Chicken and waffles - husband's favorite here but today it wasn't the same at all. Chicken was super dry inside. Waffles he described as no different than ones he makes at the hotel lobby. All in all we will wait some before returning to try again at some point. Thank you to the wait staff for always having smiles and helping each other to keep us happy.
