    Buttermilk pancakes
    Kaiti P.

    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

    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.)

    We are from out of town and heard about them on the radio and since we were coming back from up…read morenorth on our way south, we made out way to the restaurant. We came in at about 1:30 and approached the host stand and asked if the chicken special was available. Richie our eventual server checked the kitchen, came back and sat us down , said there were three left before another batch that would take 40 minutes to cook was in. The kitchen, so we ordered that a huge amount 4 pieces, crispy fried with mashed potatoes, coleslaw and a corn bread muffin. I had a half rack of ribs with beans, coleslaw and the muffin. The ribs could have used a bit more smoking, or cooking to get it to be fall off the bocce done. This was chew a lot to get it to be eaten, although the flavor and sauce were good. Ritchie was great and service was on time. They do charge a credit card fee, but was posted on the receipt

    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.

    Such a neat place!! Came here recently for a birthday dinner celebrating my grandma's 90th…read morebirthday. We had a group of 12, and we're sure to make a reservation, because boy was is busy on a Friday night! Especially around the holidays, because the holiday decor just adds an extra special feel to this already rustic, unique restaurant. The staff let us know they'd put us in a quieter area, due to my grandma, but unfortunately that didn't end up happening. I'll say though, we arrived to a packed restaurant at 5:45pm and by 8pm the place was pretty cleared out! Seems most popular for a happy hour and early super-type crowd. I'd been here once before but this was my first time dining in for food, so I was excited to try out their menu. They offer a hell of a deal for buy-one-get-one entrees! Note their entrees are upwards of $30-50 on average, so if you take this deal you're saving a pretty penny. Here you'll find all of the meat and seafood options to try. In the end I landed on the shrimp & scallop stir fry and boy was it good. Scallops were cooked just right and the flavor was on point. I also had to of course try my husband's steak and it was fantastic. Also fantastic was our server, Shaun. He took wonderful care of our table, and even gave us a great rundown of the entire dessert tray. He knew his stuff! We ended up ordering a handful of sweet treats to end the evening. All in all, this place should be on everyone's list to try!
