I didn't say anything but I'm sure I looked surprised. Someone behind the counter called "you have to order online." But I was right there with credit card in hand. It was cold and sleeting outside. The store wasn't crowded. Is this any way to run a business? I have always felt the people in this stor were snotty.

Our friend was there waiting for us too. Our waitress was very professional when she approached and made sure she ordered everything correctly. The food came out in a timely manner and everything was great. It was Monday and they had specials that day for Mexican food. I like how they rotate the specials, depending upon what day of the week it is. If you're in Smithville, definitely stop here for food. It's worth it and it's a great experience. Be sure to look out for what entertainment they're having that day you're going there. That way you'll get the full experience. We'll definitely be back.

She also gave us a sheet with the website on it so that we can order more stuff anytime. My mom purchased some olive oil of the following: Italian Herb, blood orange, garlic, balasmic (2), and pineapple. Person at the front was indeed very nice. we paid via credit card. Highly recommend you check this place out!

So glad that we did because it was excellent with great staff. We all really enjoyed the food. I loved my crab cake sandwich. It was so moist and flavorful. My husband loved his turkey platter. The gravy was delicious and the turkey was moist. My father in law enjoyed his burger. It was a good menu and tight in the middle of the cute little town. Would love to go back and try other things.

First time here, and I was expecting better based on the reviews. Entrance, tables, chairs, and…read moreambiance were as I expected. Ordered New England Clam Chowder. Served quickly and hot in a big, wide bowl. It looked good. Had small, irregularly sized potatoes and chopped carrots. The broth was a little thicker than I imagined or had tasted before in other restaurants, or in the one I make. Clams were tiny and, as you'd expect from a can. Not fresh clams. In fact, you can put all the clams found in chowder in a single tablespoon. Even found a whole bay leaf in it, which should have been removed before serving it. So, how is the chowder? I've had better from canned chowder, and the one I make is way better. Zero stars for the chowder. Next up is the Turkey platter with sliced turkey (hard and dry), 1 ice cream scoop of mashed potatoes (ok, nothing special), 1 ice cream scoop of stuffing (totally disgusting, and had corn in it), string beans (with vine still attached), gravy (terrible), and a little cup of cranberries (decent). Total fail. The waitress was ok, though stopping by every 5 minutes to ask if everything was good was quite annoying. The 'ice water gentleman' was great. You never asked for water, and when the glass was 1/2 empty, he was there refilling it. Great job! The final score of 2 stars is for the historic inn's ambiance and layout. We won't be back, and do not recommend.
