    Buttermilk pancakes

    Awesome little breakfast spot !!! Service was impeccable. The food came out extremely fast and was delicious. They have a large menu with lots of great options. Red Apple Omelette- yum!!! So good and even comes with a side of tzatziki Cinnamon French toast- my sister said it was amazing Waffle Club- huge waffle with strawberries and other toppings and side of bacon/sausage. My sister said it was the best waffle ever Highly recommend this place for quality and affordable breakfast!

    A combo of biscuits & gravy, 2 eggs, 2 sausage, 2 bacon, choice potato. Filling and tasty

    First time dining here and that is just terrible. The service was top notch. The food was very very good. It is a diner so the menu is "diner esque" with lots of breakfast (served all day) options and lunch options (also served all day) with things you'd expect to see listed: a variety of omelets and skillets and pancake and egg options. The food came out quick, like I would hope in a diner, even though every single table was filled and there were 5 families waiting their turn. Hot and fresh. Had good flavor. Value was on point for this meal and we will certainly come here much more now that we know how good it was.

    Unlike many businesses, this place is not understaffed that I can see ... and the young adults unlike many establishments are very kind and professional... it seems these ma and pa establishments have better service than their franchise counterparts these days... 10 dollars for a big breakfast in a time when prices are rising is an excellent deal and very good and filling at that... this is a very popular establishment and busy very often ... expect to wait for a short time and it's absolutely worth it.. also a shout out to the senior citizens that also work here hustling like the young adults... excellent place to visit

    The food was good. Not impressed with other observations. Maybe my server was just having a bad day.

    03-24-2026, 1:37pm Check #64, Table 124…read moreServer: Tyler I'm a repeat customer for a good reason. The food is fantastic. Today was no exception. Tyler's service was fast accurate and very professional. I had the ribs and my partner had the chicken tenders. Just as I tell people by word of mouth, "If you wand really good ribs that come off the bone nicely, you just have to try the ribs here at the Mineshaft." Once again, as always, an extremely satisfying visit to the Mineshaft. A fantastic place to eat. Incessant Research (Investigative Research & Journalism. Not for hire.)

    My husband and I stopped for a late lunch today. Service was fast, Karissa was our server and she…read morewas friendly. The food was gross and not as advertised. I got the Ruben, which the menu describes as a hearty portion of corned beef. You'll see in the picture there were 3 thin slices of lunch meat type corned beef. Husband got the patty melt. He thought it was OK, not great but not terrible. I thought it tasted like propane. It had a distinct gas taste to it. We had the "nachos supreme " as an appetizer.... my fault I should have read beyond the title. One assumed that supreme meant Toppings. Nope. Ground beef, liquid cheese, on chips, with jalapeños. That's their version of supreme. Bland, after a couple turned gross and colgulated. First time here since moving back to the area a year ago.... go somewhere else. Uncle Larry's is a MUCH better alternative.

    We just finished with our party of 12 for a Sunday Brunch…read more Amazing selection of breakfast foods and dinner foods. Most of our guests were from out of town and thoroughly enjoyed not only the selection but the quality. Excellent selection of breakfast items, fresh fruits and freshly cooked vegetables that were not soggy and gross. Good chicken, fish, prime rib and more. Of course a large selection of desserts too. Seniors are offered a discount which was a pleasant surprise. All in all a great experience!

    Second time here in the last couple of months…read more Food: As much as I love the history of this place, the beautiful woods surrounding it, and the charm of the building, I have been very disappointed by the quality of the food. Unfortunately, this second dinner was even worse than the first. The rice was undercooked, the short ribs were dry, and the scallops were gritty. I realize that, for some people, the Buy One, Get One promotion is a big draw. However, I suspect that the menu prices are inflated to offset the BOGO savings, so it doesn't end up being much of an actual benefit. My wish is that they would focus on improving the quality and consistency of the food and charge prices that appropriately cover their costs while still allowing them to make a profit. I don't think we'll be coming back anytime soon, which is sad because there is so much to like about the location and atmosphere.
