I came here with a large party for a recent family reunion, and everything was only just okay. Our standout impression was our server - she handled us all single-handedly and ensured we all had everything we needed. She was phenomenal. Unfortunately, the food is just fine and the interior isn't very interesting at all. Dirty, dingy, outdated. I ordered their French Sandwich, which was interesting. The dressing they used, which I asked on the side to dip my fries in, was the most exciting part. Tangy, garlicky, slightly spicy (not really) contrary to my uncle's spice tolerance. Everyone else's food looked passable, but nobody pointed out anything they particularly enjoyed. A warning, their large salads are HUGE - think the size of the salad bowl they give you at Olive Garden. The bread they give is plain, with butter in single-serve containers. Not much to write home about, am I missing something?

It has that old-school, family-run feel where you can tell they truly care about what they do. The woman behind the counter was friendly and walked us through the menu. The sides all looked great -- even the green beans caught my eye, which says a lot. The portions are massive in the best way. I ordered an extra small baked beans, red-skinned potato salad, mac and cheese, five-bean salad, and a chicken leg and breast. That "extra small" meal lasted me from Friday evening through Sunday breakfast. Great food, generous portions, clean dining area, and people who take pride in their work. Definitely worth stopping if you're anywhere near I-79. They don't take AmEx but the bbq sauce makes up for it !

The meatloaf is beyond excellent and the French onion soup is the best the area has to offer. Go. Now.

The service was amazing, super fast and seated ourselves considering it isn't a busy night.

I ordered 14 jumbo wings and wasn't expecting much but, when they came out in bowls drenched in sauce I was like woahhhhhhh. My girlfriend got a salad and she loved it, also ranch is amazing too. The ambiance inside was a mix of bar and dining room seating also inluding outdoor seating. I love the variety of menu options and also dining experience at this place.

The place is spotless and spacious, tables not crowded together, acoustics are good. We both love Reubens and decided to get Reubens and fries. We considered appetizers or soup but when the server advised that most diners take home half their sandwich, we each decided to forego a first course and possibly get dessert after. We both got coffee, which was decent and fresh in smallish mugs. The server was very friendly. However, things went downhill after our order was taken. We wanted more coffee but the server had disappeared. Fifteen minutes, finally got a refill, server disappeared again. There were three other servers visible and still only ten customers in the dining room (one party of four left & another came in). After a full hour of waiting for the sandwiches, we saw our server and asked how much longer. She apologized and said it would be just a few minutes more. Twenty minutes later, we got our food. The fresh cut fries were PERFECT. The Reuben looked really good and had a lit of tender meat on it, but it was a huge disappointment - very dry and flavorless (even the sauerkraut!). We needed to add more Thousand Island dressing tmake it less dry but again, our server was nowhere to be seen. We finally flagged down the owner to ask for more dressing, which improved the palatability but it was still a solidly average product. After we got the dressing, the server was more attentive. Ambiance 8, service 4, fries 10, Reuben 4, pricing 7. I would probably not go back except that the fries are exactly the kind I like. I'd definitely not recommend the Reuben. Overall, we had hoped for & expected a better experience that didn't happen. Waiting almost 90 minutes for the food in an almost empty restaurant (counting the time waiting for the condiments to make the dry sandwiches edible) was really disappointing.

(I read online that the owners are the same people who own Emiliano's.) My husband and I ate one dinner here. The seating hostess promptly greeted us and allowed us to choose to sit either indoors or on an outdoor patio. The menu listed appetizers (e.g., nachos and quesadilla), rotisserie chicken, pulled pork, brisket, pork ribs, beef ribs, sandwiches, tacos, salads, sides (e.g., street corn, collard greens, and tater tots), alcoholic beverages (e.g., cocktails, margaritas, and beers), and desserts (e.g., coconut key-lime pie). I wanted to try all of the meats, but our waitress said that they do not offer a sampler platter, which I think should be added to the menu. Here are my ratings for what we ordered: Smoked Wings - 4.5 stars - Nicely crispy skin, fantastic seasoning, and juicy meat. With ranch and bleu cheese dips and celery. Small amount of feathers. Single Dino Bone - 4.5 stars - Huge size, smoked low and slow over hardwood. Tender with smoky flavor, but could have been a bit juicier. Brisket Stack - 5 stars - Sandwich with chopped brisket, pickles, and red-pickled onions. Charhouse Pulled-pork Tacos - 4.5 stars - Flavorful pulled pork in corn tortillas. The meat was juicy but did NOT cause the tacos to drip or be soggy. With Tennessee slaw and margarita sauce. Mac and Cheese - 5 stars - Nicely cooked noodles with rich, gooey cheese. Cornbread Muffins - 4.5 stars - Several small muffins with a sweet flavor. Coleslaw - 3 stars - OK, needs more dressing for more flavor. Sweet Baked Beans - 4.5 stars - Spicy rather than sweet but still tasty. Money-saving tip: Sign up for their VIP club. I signed up and received a $10 coupon, but I unfortunately forgot to use it. For these foods plus one soda and a credit-card processing fee, I paid $77 plus a tip.
