That a relative of mine had placed there.Asked the owner to stay out of my truck Only to be swore at and told he go thru any vehicle out there he wanted. Actually got in my face and got loud in the middle of a wedding. Took ten minutes to get checked in while the staff was pouring drinks. At the front desk/ bar. Free breakfast was a joke Food in warmer but the staff waited twenty minutes to serve a dining room full of people till they had more food. Dinner at the wedding was supposed to be prime rib Instead got shoe leather and barely cooked vegetables.very pretty place I would not recommend worst service and watch out for the crappy owner going through vehicles If I could give zero stars I would

We waited to checkin at the office/bar/ restaurant for 10-15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. There were 2 women working making drinks. They saw us and never said a word. A simple "i'll be with you in a minute" would have gone a long way. We weee never given any rules, directions, check out times. The next time we went for breakfast. Although there was food in the serving trays, they made us wait for at least 15 minutes before we could go up for food. By the time we were able to eat, the place was packed. Saturday night we attended a wedding reception. Instead of using a tray, servers brought out 2 plates at a time. With almost 100 people there, our food was cold. The prime rib was very grizzly and tough. Even after requesting steak knives, it could barely be cut. The biggest disappointment and instant turnoff was the owner. When he was questioned about a situation, he became very loud, was pointing his finger in a guests face and was using profanity. His attitude, demeanor, and lack of professionalism was a total disgrace and unbelievable! Never have i experienced something like this!

I had the Southern Omelette and the hubby had the Breakfast Skillet with sausage. We split ONE pancake because it was recommended it was a pancake on steroids.

The food was thumbs up and the service was friendly and share a great deal of history and information on Drummond Island.

We…read morearrived just before noon, so we just missed out on the breakfast menu and had to wait 20 minutes for the kitchen to switch to lunch. We ordered a Cowboy Burger, a BLT Flatbread, and the Herb chicken pasta with pickle fries as an appetizer. The burger was delicious and cooked exactly the way I wanted. The flatbread was huge and delicious, especially for the $12 it cost. The herb chicken pasta was served with a roll and my girlfriend couldn't eat it all. The restaurant definitely has a rustic feel to it, and almost feels like a mom and pop place. Overall, the food is great, priced well, and conveniently placed across the street from the visitor center. I will definitely be back.

VERY RUDE OF THE WAITRESS & POOR QUALITY OF FOODS. DO NOT WASTE THE $$$ TO EAT HERE!!!!!…read more Oct 12, 2025 - I ordered the battered fish and chips from the lunch menu; my friends and I agreed that the portion of the fillet is very small and quite fishy (not fresh); about my own order, I substituted the chips with "vegetable" but the restaurant was only gave the carrots. At $25.99 plus tips and taxes so it costs over $30 it's overpriced for junk foods The services were terrible as one of the waitress, the chubby one was very rude when I told her that she messed up my order. It's no apology for the mistakes she made and yelled at me for not paying attention when I ordered my foods. It seems she was trying to excuse the situation she caused. Meanwhile, this waitress was questioning me in front of other customers and very confrontational. I addressed my concerns to her it's UNACCEPTABLE ATTITUDE to the customers. The owner should not hire this type of people as the front end worker. I did report the situation to another person who was working at the cashier area. I hope the owner should investigate this situation at least .... AWFUL EXPERIENCE I NEVER EVEN HAD
