The renovation was amazing a the slick decor looks great. The service has been universally good. The food is consistent with some huge winners.

We had stopped at a local bar in town for a late lunch, but their kitchen wasn't open until…read moreevening. The gal working the bar suggested this eatery, just a few miles outside of town. It felt like it was kind of in the middle of nowhere on the side of the highway, but we are glad we stopped. They had a big menu with lots of options, from appetizers to full meals to various desserts. We chose onion rings and the broasted half-chicken, with fries, basket to share. The onion rings were hot and crispy and we got a huge portion, more than we could eat! The chicken was moist and flavorful, with a crispy coating. The fries were pretty standard. Again, more food than the two of us could eat. Leftovers are always good though! They weren't busy in the middle of the afternoon, and we had great service. They were friendly and attentive.

Our server was very friendly and brought our food out quickly. My kids liked their cheeseburgers. I got the Lumberjack burger which had bacon and pulled pork on it. I got it with pink in the middle and it was really good! The burger was flavorful and juicy. The tater tots were yummy too. Nice and crispy on the outside with a good amount of seasoning. My husband liked his BLT with waffle fries. Our whole lunch came to $51 (we didn't get any alcohol), which feels like a good deal. I'm happy to have one more good place to eat to stop in on our way to and from our cabin.

Four of us in the party, two meals were acceptable the other two , not so much. We were told that the corned beef was homemade but what we got was canned.

We did mention the failure but got only an explanation that the regular cook was called away. Might try it again to allow for a "bad day" but then again.......
