I'm basing this rating on just my experience...others in my party like their food better than I. Both this and the last time we were there, when you arrive, you check in with the bartender and they give you the menu. Then, once you're ready to order, the server comes out to take your order. A few minutes later, they tell you which table to sit at in the dining room. I really don't like this system. I understand doing this if you're waiting for a table because you're drinking at the bar or a table because they're full. The only time we were offered to order a drink was at the bar...the server never asked. What an easy upsell! I know we could have ordered something, but we all stuck with the water as we had been out touring all day. Has she offered, I would have gotten something. 4/5 of the meals we had came with the salad bar. Which I was really looking forward to. She never directed us up there...we just went. Food was only ok. My tenderloin didn't have a lot of flavor. I couldn't eat all of it because of the fat. The meat used to be better. Other people in our group had haddock, prime rib and a hamburger. They liked theirs. The potato and salad bar were good. When you walk by the kitchen, which is at the end of the salad bar and near the bathroom, it smelled like urine. I don't know if it was one of the older people there or if it was a building issue. I'm done giving them a chance. I live out of state now and I used to look forward to going there. I'm over that, now. I'll drive out of town for a different supper club.

Very cool space with rustic beams and stone walls ... the menu has plenty of options…read more I chose the deep fried risotto balls, and shepherds pie. The risotto balls arrived, frozen in the center, and the remedy was to microwave them. Al dente doesn't begin to describe the texture of the risotto, and the garlic aïoli dipping sauce, definitely packed that garlic punch. I wasn't a fan. The shepherds pie was tasty... my personal preference would've been a better balance between the amount of filling in the amount of potatoes, but it was good Our server was very friendly and did a fantastic job taking care of our table. I personally would only go back if I

We were very disappointed with our experience at Doc Kelly's Public House…read more When our group of six arrived, we were told the wait would be about 30 minutes. The hostess told us we could wait outside in the rain because the bar was full and there wasn't even standing room inside. We understood and were willing to wait. After waiting in the rain for over 50 minutes, we watched at least 23 people leave the restaurant. We went back inside to check on our table, and the hostess seemed surprised to see us. That's when we realized our name hadn't even been put on the waiting list. After finally adding us, we were told it would be another 30 minutes. About 45 minutes later, we were finally seated. By then, we were soaked from the rain and were seated directly under two air-conditioning vents that blew cold air on us throughout the entire meal. Service didn't improve once we were seated. It took a while just to get water, and of the six glasses, five were full while one was only half full. It took roughly 40 minutes for someone to take our order and another 40 minutes for our food to arrive. The food was equally disappointing. Three of us ordered the fish fry and received what looked like three small frozen fish pieces sitting on top of pub chips that had become soggy underneath. Most of the fish was eaten by the time the waitress arrived with our tarter sauce. They were also out of coleslaw. Another person ordered the tortellini, which arrived cold and was missing the sides that were supposed to come with the meal. And a cold cup of soup. We also planned on ordering the Pizookie for dessert, but they were sold out of that as well. Throughout the meal, no one checked on our table or offered drink refills despite the long wait. Overall, the experience missed the mark at every level from the wait list and customer service to the food quality and hospitality. Our group camps nearby and always enjoys trying local restaurants. Unfortunately, this was not a place we'll return to or recommend to others.

Back in the early 90's my best friend in High School worked as a cook at Cinders. Unfortunately…read moreduring that time period he passed in a fishing/boating incident. I moved from the area and 25+ years have passed since I've visited Cinder's. I returned to the area for a work conference and visited Cinder's once again. I so vividly remember spending an occasional evening at Cinder's with my friend after closing having a pitcher or two and just enjoying the particular time in our lives. He never wanted us to have too many because he didn't want to get in trouble with the boss. Miss my friend and those simpler times. On this visit the steak sandwich was as good as I remember from back in the day. They also now have bottomless fries with their sandwiches. (Bonus, the statute of limitations has most definitely passed on the few after hour pitchers I enjoyed with my friend while 18-19 yoa.

My husband and I are both watching what we eat so we sent it back. The "baked" cod came back out completely drowning in butter, normally it's on the side. I was upset by this point but I didn't want to wait an additional 20-30 minutes. The peas that were my vegetable "side" were disgusting, they looked discolored and tasted terrible. The baked potato was ok but the presentation of the salad was awful. Iceberg lettuce, onions a tomato wedge (that was gross) and a cucumber slice. The whole experience was terrible. What a waste of time and money...just yuck. Would give zero stars if I could, do better!

As usual, as we arrived for our most recent visit, the parking area was overflowing. So was the bar area. We squeezed in and quickly caught the eye of an attentive bartender. I got a round of drinks and our number. We looked over menus, caught the same bartender and soon had our waitress find us for our order. A second round of drinks and we were informed we could go to our table in the dining room. We enjoyed the well stocked salad bar and a bowl of hearty, creamy chicken and dumpling soup. Like gizzards and liver pate? They have it. The delivery of our meals was timed perfectly. I enjoyed my ribeye and baked potato. The steak had great flavor and was prepared as ordered. My dining partner enjoyed their chicken Parmesan. We each took food home! Is it busy? Will you have to wait? Yes, to both. Is the service good? It always has been for me. Is the food good? No complaints and the prices are reasonable too.

We sat at the bar and ordered our first drink as we waited for our table. Before we were seated, our order was taken. I had the queen prime rib, my wife had the seafood platter. After a short wait, we were seated at our table and were invited to the salad bar. Unlike other supper clubs, there are servers at the salad bar and they give you whatever you like and as much as you like. I was served by a very young looking server, he was no more than 14 years old, but was courteous and trained well. After we sat back down at the table, our appetizer as well as the bread arrived. The cheese curds were excellent. Vey tasty. The salad bar was also very tasty and the vegetables were crisp and the soup was fantastic. Our meal arrived shortly after, by this time, my wife and I were staring at each other wondering if we had left any room for our meal...we did...slightly. The prime rib was phenomenal. Medium rare. Seasoned well. Very good. The seafood platter, was generous. Lots of fish. Perch, bluegill, walleye, haddock, shrimp, scallops, all very well prepared and my wife enjoyed the sampling of seafood. The prices were as expected. After drinks, appetizers and our meal, we left and paid for the meal and it was all around $100 or so. A good place for special occasions and if you are super hungry. We will be back.
