While the taste was 100% on point, half the food came out cold, I including the two $4 up-charged haystack onions. So disappointing. We asked for no pickle on one thing, no onion on another. Both came out with the ingredients we didn't want. We were charged for sauces (honey mustard and ranch) for the kids tenders when no one mentioned it being extra (shouldn't tenders COME with sauce?) NEVER asked if we wanted refills on drinks or checked on us. It was a Tuesday night and it took an hour and 5 minutes to get us our food. Yes we were a group of 9 but it was 3 kids and not that busy. Only seemed to be 2 waitstaff for the whole place. Just no attention paid to actual orders, and next to no regard for checking on guests. Again, the food was amazing, so I'm just hoping it was an off night. We'll visit again to verify.

No kidding, don't let the gas station vibes throw you, this place has great eats. We walked in through the gas station part of the building and were surprised to see the rustic decor of a medium sized dining area and an adjacent bar. It was a pretty full dining room and we sat ourselves. It didn't look promising as we saw one waitress and one bartender. However, after a brief wait, the waitress came to our table and assured us she would return as quickly as possible to get our drink and food orders. She returned as promised. Our drinks arrived a short time later. They were well made and attention was paid to get us another round as we finished the first. Our table had ribs, prime rib and a French dip sandwich. The portion size was great and the food arrived hot. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was tasty. The prime rib had great flavor, was prepared as ordered and had very little fat. The French dip was also tasty. Truth be told, a salad bar would make this a true five star rating. The salads served with the meal were nice but very run-of-the-mill. Will we go back in the future? You betcha!
