I have personally witnessed the owner scream, curse, and slam his hands down on customers' tables in an attempt to intimidate them simply because they had an issue with their order. That is not customer service. That is completely unacceptable behavior. Nobody should have to feel intimidated or afraid to speak up about a problem after spending their hard-earned money at a restaurant. What makes it even worse is hearing the way he talks about people in the local community. Referring to local customers as "dumb southern hillbillies" is incredibly disrespectful and says a lot about the level of regard he has for the very people who support his business. You can have decent food and still have a terrible business. Food isn't enough to make me overlook someone screaming at customers, cursing at them, and trying to intimidate them. Treating people with basic respect should be the bare minimum. For me, the food simply isn't good enough to justify putting up with that kind of treatment. There are plenty of other restaurants where I can spend my money without being treated like I'm a problem for expecting decent service.

Prices are not posted on the menu, but it was $35 for 2 paninis with chips and 2 milkshakes. It was a great price. We would recommend the blackberry grilled cheese, it has jam, bacon, and jalapeños on it. It had a very flavorful profile. I loved the brown sugar cinnamon milkshake, it tasted like horchata. The creek is very nice to eat by, and they have sun or shaded areas to sit as well as inside seating. I did almost get attacked by a squirrel but that's not the business's fault. I'm sure it's because most people feed the squirrels and birds. If you sit outside, make sure to pay attention to any animals nearby. The staff were really nice as well.

Cheesy and they stay hot. Recommend with the dipping ranch. Onion rings. Good but nothing to write home about. More batter than onion. Cheeseburger. The best type of char/crust in the party. Comes with lettuce, tomato, onion pickle. I went no pickle, onion add mayo. Veggies super fresh. Best lettuce on burger I've had in a while. Will order again. Pineapple milk shake is to die for. Order a milkshake. Root beer float needed more root beer. Might order an extra root beer, no ice, next time. Have enjoyed everything. You can also walk up and eat on picnic benches.

First time couple weeks ago…read more Stopped after golf with 2 friends on a Saturday about 5 pm. Busy with 45 min wait but were told we could wait in the separate bar with first come basis seating. That's what we did and got seated and drinks ordered and dinner menus promptly, Bar /wait staff was very good for a busy time. Live music and crowd in the bar in a living room type atmosphere too loud for an intimate dinner more a sing along fun time place, separate from the main more quiet dining area. Got fried mushrooms appetizer and filet mignon as entree. The filet was high quality very tender perfectly prepared and had a wood grilled flavor. Also got a fresh garden salad and giant baked potato ...excellent well worth the $48 price. Others had a huge burger and cheese steak with fries. Both also very good. Too stuffed for desert but it looked yummy. Was impressed with bar drinks, beer and wine selections. Best steak I've had in this area from Lexington Ky to Knoxville TN. On par with nineteen 19 in Cumberland gap as nicest restaurant in the local area. I'll be back.

I got two of the $0.59 Krystals and an order of chili cheese fries. I liked the simplicity of the Krystals with just onions and a pickle on a steamed bun. The fries were good too. I was really impressed compared to what I had been told. Fast forward two hours: Krystal is ripping through my intestinal tract like a brand new paper shredder with a stack of phone books. I had been warned of this but I didn't listen. Overall Krystal is okay. The food is good for the price but not for the upset stomach. Eat at your own risk.

They are certainly similar, but in my opinion the White Castle burger is better. I thought the Krystal cheeseburger was much better than just the regular Krystal. All things considered, if I was craving White Castles, and was in an area that only had a Krystal, I would easily accept the Krystal as a substitute.
