"Very interesting" aren't the words to describe this place. First off, don't let the Google search engine and their website fool you. It's classified as a theme park, but is far from that. We came on a Saturday afternoon about 5 o'clock. We walked up and there were no employees in sight. They only had the hours posted at the front. You would figure if it was a "theme park" there would be a admission fee. Oh no, not here. As we walked in further we saw about five adults gathered around a bonfire socializing and smoking cigarettes. No children were in sight. As you walk to the right there's a roller coaster and carousel. The carousel had caution taped wrapped around it. The roller coaster was roped off and had no operation. Why would a "theme park" have a roller coaster or carousel not in operation? Also, it was quite unattractive to have several ash trays available in public eye on tables. This place is advertised as a "theme park" but in reality is a adult swim playground out in boonies. read more

This place was awesome. Some friends took us here a few days back and I was shocked to find something like this in the middle of nowhere! They have such interesting things around. It's a quaint little "village" that has an ice cream shop, train, and roller coaster. All on the smaller (mini) scale, but still pretty cool. Apart from the attractions, the smokehouse put out some good food. Menu is pretty simple, steakhouse fare. Fried appetizers, steaks, chicken, ribs, etc. I had smokehouse chicken which was rather small, but good. Fortunately I added a salad bar, which was pretty decent. Wife had the fried chicken in pepper gravy. It was very good. Both of our friends had the ribs. They enjoyed them thoroughly. They're homemade BBQ sauce is fantastic. Had a nice kick with great taste. Prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be returning to this place. read more

Good steaks and salad bar. Its all I have had there so can't mention the other menu items. Good 18 hole putt putt and a small train. Its worth going out of the way if traveling near Williamston on route 17 or 64. read more

I live in Bear Grass about a mile or so away, as the crow flies. Back when they had live entertainment, I could sit on my back deck and listen to the music, and sometimes the train whistle when it blows. If the wind is blowing just right, I can smell the food. I must say, it smells WONDERFUL. The wife and I often order food for take out, that way we don't have to dress up. nor do we have to dress the grandkid(s) which ever one or so, gets lucky enough to be spending the night. I will say this though, that food, it tastes just as good as it smells. We do, on occasion, dress up and go out there to eat with friends and/or family. While there, and after we have totally filled our bellies, will walk around outside, hop on the train and take a leisurely stroll though the little forest they have set up. Sights one may see, depend on the season. On Halloween, for instance you may see a skeleton, ghost, haunted house,or even a 20 ft monster. Around Christmas you may see reindeer, a Christmas house, and possible ole Saint Nick. Can't promise any or all of it, but rumors abound. Another things the kids like to see, is the fish in the pond. At one time they fed them food from a dispenser which you let go into plastic pipes along the walkway, and if you looked hard enough, you might see a pretty good sized koy fish or two. After all the excitement, you can get a cup of coffee or ice cream and go stand around 1 of the few campfires burning. There is a roller coaster there but I have yet to ride it, I am not sure if adults my size can fit in the cars or not. If you are in the area, and have a big appetite, or little one even, kids meals are available, stop by and get it taken care of. If you happen to see an old guy hanging out by the cash register, don't worry, he's not robbing the joint, I'm just waiting for our order to take back home to get our grub on! Our family loves it, and I am sure yours will as well! read more

We would always patronize this establishment when I came to see family in NC from OH. Well, the last trip we made in January really opened our eyes wide. No social distancing, mask wearing, nothing. It is disgusting when there are health orders in place and an establishment cannot follow the rules, the consumers do, but owners and workers of this establishment must think they are above and beyond the almighty in the sky and rule the roost. Also, who ever heard of a restaurant charging you for a glass of water with a lemon?? Best off, to top things off, we also lost $40 in cash in this establishment and were told they would go through video coverage and contact us, not a word! When we realized the cash was mistakenly put on one of the plates to go to the kitchen and tried to get it back, they ran even faster and then denied anything happened. Steer clear of this place, we are in touch with the health department and filing a complaint with the county in which they reside and hopefully something will be done. If not, we will go to the state level and get them closed and fined. This is what is done in OH, and hope they follow the same guidelines in NC. read more

This is such a neat place tucked away in the MON. They have typical steakhouse fare: steak, chicken, ribs. They have a salad bar that is pretty decent and incredible onion blooms!! What is also really cool about here is the atmosphere - it is like a small community with ice cream/coffee shop, play ground complete with small roller coaster, mini putt-putt course and a train. Always fun for the whole family! read more

Good food. Steak is decent and the atmosphere is nice. Menu is small for entrees but good for sandwiches. Nice playground for kids of there's a wait. Train, putt putt, and an ice cream shop. read more

Absolutely one of the worst restaurant experiences I and my family have had. We arrived, and it was not very busy. They sat us at a small table in the corner. There were many servers, although no one came to get our drink order or even ask if we had been helped. We sat there for at least 15 minutes without anyone even approaching our table. Many of the staff were standing on the side too busy engaging in their own conversations. We got up and left. Again, no one asking how everything was, how our experience was, or even saying have a nice day. I have worked in the restaurant business for many years; and, I have never seen or had an experience this negligent. It was completely unacceptable. We will not be going back, and I highly suggest for you not to waste your time at such a poorly operated establishment. read more

Very interesting place, lots of amusement-type stuff to do outside while you wait (train ride, rollercoaster, ponds with fish, etc). People inside super nice and plenty of space between tables or to move around. Lots of different options on the menu to pick from including a good kid's menu. Would recommend a visit. If you're not local, plan the trip as it is well off the beaten path. read more

As I have not been able to take part on the trains and putt putt and other things, the food at this establishment is amazingly fabulous, as well as the service. I love the decor and the atmosphere is outstanding. I would suggest everyone go at least once, then you'd never want to go anywhere else. read more

Staying at a b & b in the area and this was gone of the suggestions for dinner. We got there and thought ok something to do not sure about dinner. We played putt putt and headed over to the restaurant. We were surprised that people were already waiting so we gave our name and in about 10min we were seated. We ordered the fried green tomatoes and after we got them we wished that we just ordered more of them. They were excellent! Dinner was a petite steak and fries which was good also. Steak was thinner than we expected but it had very good flavor. Service was excellent and atmosphere was pleasant. About 20 minutes after we sat down the place got packed. read more

The staff as always was friendly and very helpful. I had the Pecos Porkchop. This was prepared exactly how it needed to be. Very tender and juicy. They also have very good sides and things for the most part seem to be made from scratch. Sadly the mashed potatoes were very much instant potatoes and had a cardboard taste. If they take the time to make the potatoes from scratch they would receive 5 stars from me. Also wish they served Mac n cheese as a side. Will definitely be returning. read more

Kid friendly place, very nice staff, clean restaurant with clean bathrooms, okay food and expensive prices. The kids had fun on the playground and riding the train. They loved getting ice cream before leaving. It would be a great place to have a child's party. read more

Didnt care for the snow. Wished they would have let us eat while we were watching so it wasnt so boring. Didnt get any drink refills after the show started either. They really need to update the place by adding more stuff for you to see on the train ride. It looks better at night when they have the lights on. The golf area needs to be fixed because the balls kept falling off the green because they have no edges up to keep the ball on the course. Also they need to trim the trees back where you are putting. I had to duck down so I didnt have my head stuck in a tree and so did my son who is only 4 1/2 feet tall. read more

great food, great service, and a great family atmosphere. it may be a bit out of the way but it's worth the trip. it's like a different world with a country western/ghost town vibe. train ride, mini roller coaster, swings and things to entertain the kids while you wait. i definitely recommend checking this place out, it's like no other! read more

It was a great place for all ages, with plenty of stuff to keep your interest. Great food but the amenities is what makes this establishment a must visit. read more

best steak in town, or the surrounding area. now open on Thursday nights. wonderful family atmosphere with plenty of things to keep kids occupied while you wait for a table. wait time may be long at times but definitely worth the wait. read more
