    the front of the restaurant

    This is very much a little small-town diner. There are 2 rooms with tables, not much decoration. There didn't appear to be any menus, but there was a white board that showed the soup of the day, 2 sandwiches (a hamburger & hot beef) and a list of pies. The choices appeared to be that or the buffet, which consisted of a small but good salad bar and another hot food bar with fried chicken, ham, green beans, mashed potatoes, gravy and some soup. Nothing fancy and not a wide variety, but it all tasted homemade and fresh. And, at $10.99, it was priced well. As I was leaving, I noticed that they had cinnamon rolls, and I got one to go. Again, it was fresh, likely homemade and delicious. And, the staff was very friendly.

    Excellent salad bar

    Great browsers chicken and ribs on the buffet. In the middle of a rural area it is a nice surprise. Worth the stop.

We went with a fried goat chase appetizer, which I've never had before, and never even seen on another menu before. The cook clearly enjoys using balsamic glaze as this was used on both the appetizer and later on my entrée as well. Balsamic glaze is certainly delicious, but I'm not sure if it goes well on quite as many things as the cook seems to think it does. My entrée was a dish of mushroom ravioli prepared in a purée made with green peas. I noted that the chef used a variety of spices in preparing the purée, to very good effect. My wife ordered the New York strip, and what was brought out looked very good. We both had cocktails, and in both cases the cocktails or well-made. I ordered a Mojito type drink made with tequila. My wife ordered a strawberry Mamosa. I noted the care that was taken in preparing both drinks which tells me there's a professional bartender on staff. About the only thing that needs to be improved is the service. We waited just a bit too long for certain aspects of the meal in a restaurant that was nearly empty. The server was certainly polite and well mannered, but I think he was the only one working that evening. Perhaps on weekends they're better staffed?

It t was perfect since we didn't have to wait at all for our table but the place was busy; lots of people were excited to be there.

For our meal, I ordered the Pork Schnitzel with squash and zucchini and my wife got the whitefish that was one of the specials. The schnitzel had an incredible mushroom sauce and was cooked perfectly with the right balance of crispy and tender. We had a great time and plan to make the drive there regularly!

Our bruschetta was great and the calamari was pretty good as well. Amish chicken with the mashed potatoes were phenomenal. To finish it all off, the mango cheesecake was very good. I would highly recommend that. Great spot in a small town.
