It looked like a store rather than a restaurant, but the waitress came by with two menus. We ordered the beets and a cornbread. I wasn't sure if the cornbread was gluten free but my husband said it was good. The beets were great -- spicy and savory. For main courses, he had the halibut and I had the shrimp -- I thought the halibut was tasty (I had a couple bites) and the shrimp was okay (not as much my sort of thing -- I liked the corn but maybe too much dill for me? My husband liked the dill though...) It really is a no frills place though with good food.

The person working the cash register and taking the order was very kind and pleasant to communicate with, I arrived a few minutes before 11am and I am thankful I did because as soon as my order was placed the customers started entering one right after the other. People were happy as they entered. The place had a vibe of a friendly welcoming place to eat. I will be going again and become one of the familiar faces that arrive regularly. Cheers !

Incredible. Could be the best BBQ I've had.

Last year, they had the BEST warm apple cider donuts - and their hot apple cider was the real deal, not that watered-down stuff you get everywhere else. It was the perfect combo for a chilly autumn day. I was really looking forward to making Dressells Farm a regular weekday stop this fall for that specific treat, but it's a shame they only offer it on weekends. Hopefully, they'll consider offering the hot cider and fresh donuts every day next year so more people can enjoy them!

Sometimes a restaurant deserves a second chance, and John Fazio Farms Barbecue & Brick Oven Pizza…read moreproved to be one of those places. We first tried to stop in one evening at 8:21 PM, only to be told the kitchen was already closed even though the restaurant didn't close until 9. Not exactly the welcome we were hoping for, but no big deal. We found somewhere else to eat and moved on. On our way home, we decided to give it another try, and I'm glad we did. We split the brisket sandwich, which was piled high with incredibly moist, tender and flavorful brisket on what appeared to be fresh ciabatta. No barbecue sauce, no coleslaw, no distractions. Just straight up brisket flavor, which gets two thumbs up from me. The sandwich came with two sides, so we chose the baked beans and pasta salad. Both were absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the brisket. We washed it all down with an ice cold bottle of A&W Root Beer, the perfect summer pairing for a barbecue meal. The restaurant sits just off a relatively busy road, but the outdoor seating is tucked beside a beautiful pond. That gave me the opportunity to do a little birdwatching while enjoying lunch, which is always a bonus in my book. Best of all, the entire meal was about $20 for two people. The chef may not be the friendliest person, but fortunately he can cook, and I'm perfectly happy letting the food do the talking. I'd definitely go back and try some of their other dishes. Sometimes giving a place a second chance pays off.

The kid said some were a little small so I gave you a few extra. I should've checked the box before I left because I would've preferred a dozen regular donuts not what I got. I think they were trying to get rid of another kids practice donuts? Odd for $15. Not much flavor, tasted more like old oil than cider and they didn't taste fresh. So many other farms nearby so I'll try others next trip. They're just not as good as other local farms donuts. Ambiance was nice, a decent stop for kids but cider way too expensive so I skipped it.

I was devastated; it was my birthday. I had been sick for over a week and was really looking forward to some good food. They suggested we come to the bar, which we did, and ordered our large and obnoxious take out from the bar. The food was wonderful. The people were professional and kind. Absolutely the best spätzle and mashed potatoes. The pork shank and the pot roast were warm and fall off the bone tender and dripping in a wonderful gravy. The Beet and goat cheese salad was fresh and not soggy. Everything was above par all this from a cardboard box after a 30-minute drive. They were very busy and still everything from the attitude to the food was fabulous. Please take the trip its worth it!

(Cost $5 but will give you back once the wagon is returned) Apple & grape picking, cider sipping, beautiful views, and plenty of picture-perfect spots. In addition they also have some vegetables available including tomatoes, peppers and eggplants. We will definitely be back! So, if you're looking for the perfect fall day trip, add this to your fall bucket list, I promise, its worth it! Grab your friends or family, come hungry, sip something delicious, and soak up all the autumn vibes.
