Nice nice American fare not too pricey and excellent service by the staff. Get a reservation you'll need it.
I have been driving past this restaurant for the last year or so and finally had the opportunity to visit. I'm actually surprised by the negative reviews- I don't doubt them, but we had a great experience. We were greeted and seated promptly. Kathy, our waitress, was very good. We had the pretzel sticks for an appetizer and they were delicious. My steak was cooked perfectly and my salad was fresh. My fiancé had a grass fed burger and fries and he said that it was probably the best burger he's had in the area. We really enjoyed our visit and look forward to visiting again. I hope that we continue to have good dining experiences here- it's a great, cozy spot!
Cozy restaurant with delicious food and friendly service. We had the pork schnitzel special. The pork was crispy and the spaetzle was tasty. We will be back.
I never leave reviews but the local beef burger was incredible (no one asked me to leave a review I genuinely just think they deserve it)
I really don't say this lightly, this place deserves a Michelin Star. The food is absolutely incredible. I usually order something from their specials menu and the NEVER MISS I may have had the best steak and best French onion soup and best Ahi Tuna of my life here. The drinks are exceptional. Everything is made in house, including their fresh af salad dressings. Mora the bartender is exceptional and so friendly. She'll never steer you wrong if you need a drink or dish recommendation.
Delicious break on our road trip to Bennington, VT for dinner. The Hamburger was amazing!! Started with onion soup - WOW
Hidden Gem. Always busy- which is a great sign. Sit at the bar if no tables. Could use a little update to make it a more pleasant looking space, but no flaws operationally.
We've stopped here for family gatherings on the holidays and there's a lot to take in. The setup is pretty convenient, with one room being the diner room and the other a bar. I do like the decor a lot, old fashion style, with pictures on the wall from the middle-early 20th century. You also get that feeling once you're inside. The menu contains a lot, including breakfast (brunch), lunch, kids menu, and daily specials each day. I've gone with the usual orders every time we've come, and I got the build my own burger with medium-rare cooked, along with American cheese, lettuce, and pickles which came with fries. All of it was very tasty and juicy. Service has never been an issue for us, with wonderful professional staff. This is not our regular stop, so I'm hoping to opt for more on the menu to try their other fresh foods.
