Apps came out hot and fast - $1 wing night and letmetellyou they were GOOD. Like, put the national wing places to shame good. Not impressed with any of the sauces or rubs though, and the blue cheese comes in a packet (uck). Husband ordered fried chicken sandwich but enjoyed the burger he received, so expect surprises. A little put off by the server's bare toes in sandals (feet ) and belly-baring halter top, but she was fast and friendly. Overall a decent experience. We will return.

We visited on a Friday evening around 7:30pm for perspective. Just the two of us for a late dinner…read more The restaurant wasn't busy, but a modest number of patrons were inside. Upon check in, the hostess informed me it would be about a 20 min wait. No big deal. Within 15 mins or less I'd say our pager went off and we were shown our table. 2. Food * Starter: Mozzarella sticks * Entree: Ribeye (advertised as house special) * Entree: Filet Mignon * Sides: Fries, Baked Potato and included salad bar Starter was above average, hot and freshly made, good structure. Mozzarella sticks seem hard to mess up but honestly, it happens. Our server did mention that marinara was unavailable (not sure if that day or in general) Ribeye: Ordered medium rare, came out medium to medium well. Taste was mediocre at best, more grill grate less ribeye flavor. Out of 10, I would say 4/10. Filet Mignon: Expectations were high but a huge miss. Ordered medium, came medium. Flavor was far below expectations for this cut of meat. My wife described this as "dog food flavor." For the price ($39) this was disappointing. Sides: Sides were average. Fries were pretty standard, comparable to frozen fries that you'd throw in your air fryer at home. Baked potato was good (thankfully). Salad bar is included with dinner. Basic green mix with a basic offering of toppings. I would say everything was replenished when needed. 3. Service * Staff was average to friendly, from hostess to server. Average attentiveness and came to the table probably 3-4 times during service. One item to note: kitchen window/bar prep area is very close to salad bar. While at the salad bar, a group of servers were all chatting and talking about the customers they had currently or earlier in the shift. One server had a table she strongly disliked, and had no problem making that known amongst her peers. I understand back of house conversations happen, but in close proximity to customers seemed in poor taste. I left wondering what was being said if anything about us after we departed. TL;DR: if you're gonna talk shit about customers, try not to do it around your current ones. 4. Atmosphere * The location is wonderful. Quiet country charm with a distant scenic overlook of the spillway itself. It's a beautiful spot and the grounds are well maintained. Other reviews mentioned the interior as dated, my impression was it's very old style steakhouse/lodge inspired. It could use some updates sure, but I didn't think it was the focus of the night. 5. Overall value * Was it worth the price? No. One starter, two entrees and one domestic beer brought the bill to $97 before tip. A decent meal can be had for less with far superior food. I think the impression I walked away with is that this place has so much potential, and may have been great at one time but standards have since slipped. The location and feel was great, but the reason people come and want to come back is the food, and that left much to be desired. 6. Recommendation * Would you return? Likely no, this was a one and done in my book. Unless something changed and they revitalized their menu and or kitchen strategy. I never say never, but we left feeling mildly satisfied with about $100 less than we walked in with.

I swear it was the best burger I've ever had. It was juicy, messy and left me licking my fingers and wanting more. They were abiding to all covid regulations and had limited seating. On nice weather days, they offer outside seating, which is nice when trying to stay away from people. This establishment offers a full bar and multiple televisions for sporting events. The bar is large and has a large area for socializing. Its a great place for large gatherings (after the covid restrictions). And, most important, if you know me, bathroom cleanliness is very important to me. I would rate them with a 10---clean, hot water and welcoming. A+. I'm looking forward to returning.

This is trip number two in the same week…read more We showed up here on Tuesday if this week while trying to decide what to do for dinner. Super glad we stopped in here. The staff was super friendly with a very relaxed atmosphere. Hunter was behind the bar taking care of us. We got a couple beers, some pretzels, some wings, a burger, and a Buffalo Chicken Wrap. When the food came we were very happy with the taste quality of it. We did sweet chili on the wings. The border was one of the house specials with pork and BBQ sauce. It was all seriously super yummy. Came back on Saturday this week. This time Colton took care of us. It was still the same relaxed atmosphere we had on Saturday. This time we weren't as hungry so we went with the wings and the wrap again. The food was still great! We will be back. For sure.

I was in the area yesterday for work, got home and decided to go back today to try it out. We tried the Cubano sandwich with onion rings, the Caesar Salad with fried chicken, and the fried pickles. First off, the pickles are out of this world good! They are smothered in batter I've never had before. They aren't your typical thinly sliced pickled with no batter. They are a good solid slice and the batter is thicker than normal. So many of them that we brought half home. The salad with candied bacon was so dang good! The kick the candied bacon had was...wow! The cubano sandwich was thick! And let's not forget the atmosphere. It's hard to find a place with so much character that doesn't cost a car payment to eat at. To top it off, our server, Jocelyn C was great! She was so attentive to us, made sure we had refills, brought our food quickly and offered boxes to go. She was pleasant and it felt like she wanted to be at work on a Saturday! Thank you Jocelyn! We'll certainly be back to try more food!

Hillsboro is such a quaint town in was nice to look out. They had a very robust menu. I opted for the smoked sausage which came with two sides. The macaroni and cheese was lukewarm and bland. The cornbread was cold and dry. I left most of those. The smoked sausage was excellent. I loved the char on it. The coleslaw was really good too. The fish dinner was great. Huge piece of fried fish. The breading was really good. Service was ok. Nothing special. Decent value. I'd go back to try something else.
