He was super nice and "Johnny on the spot" in all our service requests. The food and drinks were great. Still the same quantity, quality AND value. The Shrimp Platter had CoconutEncrusted coating which was so crunchy and delicious. The shrimp were so big, like prawns! Shrimp Scampi was buttery and garlicky, a slight crispy texture. Plenty of large popcorn shrimp rounded out the platter. Comes with the salad bar, which is fresh and tasty. Good selection of salad toppings. The Seafood Platter is also a wonderful plate of a tasty variety of fish. The broiled cod is to die for. Pollack was crispy and the popcorn shrimp plentiful. Such a great dining experience. We saw some customers eating a pizza and it looked so good we will be back sooner rather than later to try it. Owner is a really great gal. Always makes sure to come out of the kitchen to say hello and to see that you are happy with your dining experience. Highly recommend you make it a regular stop on your dining out rotation.

They even list the farms where the ingrediants came from on the menu. When I arrived I had to use the washroom. Not only was it clean but it was stocked with cotton towels. I knew that this was a good omen of things to come. My husband and I had the grilled cheese and tomato soup and the grass fed hamburger. This may have been the biggest and most pack grilled cheese I've ever had. The hamburger was good but the potatoes that came with it stole the show. Since the entrees were so good we were excited to try the desert. We ordered the homemade chocolate peanut bourbon pie. This had the consistency of a pecan pie and was very rich. Everything was great at Thyme Craft Kitchen. It comes highly recommended!

This is a great place to watch a sporting event and they also have slot machines where you can play. It's a nice restaurant with good vibes!

Not once did someone let us know how much longer until we got up and were wanting to pay our drinks before leaving. The owner did not once try to make it right or even turn his attention to the issue at hand when I was speaking to both waiters. It's sad that businesses really don't care about certain customers and prefer others.

Other than having to deal with a freight train that stopped on the tracks right as we were trying to get to the restaurant from the theater, and having to go way out to the west end of town to get around it, everything about our experience was superb! I'm pretty sure we were seated by the owner, who was amazing to talk to. You could tell she loved what she did and what they provide to their customers. She put us in the charge of the bartender, who brought our drinks, took our orders, and checked on us regularly throughout the meal, even though she was doing double duty. We had a large lunch, so we weren't going to eat much for dinner. As soon as I read the menu I realized I was going to have a hard time deciding, but I love cinnamon ice cream, so I knew I needed to leave enough room for dessert. I ended up ordering the grilled cheese, which came with bacon (hold the tomato), and the homemade chips as my side. Everything was delicious. I brought half of my meal home, and it was just as delicious when reheated with my air fryer a few days later. My husband had the Acres Pretzel, which was huge and yummy. (I had a bite to try it!) The cheese sauce with it was thinner than expected, but very good. We started out with a Manhattan for me and some Lena Brewing caramel pecan coffee stout for him. Mine was perfectly crafted, and I took a sip of his, which was also yummy. In addition to my cinnamon ice cream, we each had a dessert drink. He had the Chocolate Caramel Kiss, and I had the Banana Bread. Again, very yummy. The cost of all of this came to under $75, which we thought was marvelous. Coming out from the city, the prices here are definitely more reasonable and much appreciated! We have this restaurant on our radar now, so anytime we are out this way again, we will head there. We are already making plans to come out and see a show next summer, if not before that. To the owner and all the other staff, thanks for such a lovely experience! You have a wonderful establishment!
