Is this restaurant still operating? We went about 18 months ago and waitstaff told us they weren’t sure of the future since management/ownership had changed.

Yes it is still open 7 nights a week. Sorry to hear that you were misinformed. The building has been remodeled but with the same owner for the last 5 years. You are welcome anytime

are you having a Thanksgiving Buffet this year?

We will not have a Thanksgiving buffet this year. We have decided to let our team enjoy the day with our families this year. Have a happy holiday.

Went for mother's day for the buffet. No one took our drink orders until half way through our meal. After feeding my niece some cheese, i went to get more and saw there was mold all over it. Very disappointed.

They had a decent all you can eat fish fry (or baked) the waitstaff was very friendly making sure that the kids were happy even when being picky. It was really quiet for a Friday night. Very good kept secret. I was surprised that it was not busier. We went right at supper time and there was no wait to be seated.

Best fish fry ever! Sharon was our server and she was very attentive. Flavor of the fried fish was fresh and crispy and the baked fish was buttery and delicious! Even the cocktails were excellent! Only drawback was the [potentially good] cole slaw which was soggy from what looked like hours in the frig sitting in it's bowl. Thanks to Mike and Sharon for the great service. We will definitely be back!!

This was one of the worst dining experience I have ever had. I decided to make a reservation for my birthday because the menu looked good and was diverse enough for a large crowd. I should have known by how hard it was to try to make a simple reservation that the rest of the experience was not going to go well. We were the only table in the restaurant for about an hour and still had to ask to order food - and by the way, the menu was different than the menu we saw online. Our food took well over a half hour to get and what's more is it came out in shifts! Being polite, I waited for the rest of my family to get their food, which took an additional 15 minutes or so for our entire table to get their food. By this time there were other tables in the restaurant complaining to the manager about how long their food was taking. We had to ask for refills as well as our plates to be cleared. I wish I would have gone anywhere else for my birthday dinner.

The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star is because of the limited menu. What they do offer is wonderful! Never had to search for my waitress they kept my drinks full & treated me like family!Could not ask for better service, super friendly 😁

Four of us dined last evening (2/17/17) and not one of us had a good meal. The fish fries came in swimming in liquid. The turkey melt was disgusting and a burger was greasy. The waitress did not ask how the patron would like the burger cooked. Over all we could not find anything good or positive. DO NOT EAT THERE!!!

Attempted to do lunch there after viewing website and menu listing breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Desk clerk at hotel said the were only serving dinner after 5:00 while some renovations were being completed at the hotel. We drove 25 miles only to be turned away despite no updates on their website...INEXCUSEABLE!

The service we had at the restaurant on 2-13-16 was below average .I had to wait 15 min.. for my drink. The prime rib I ordered medium was raw and hard to chew. I had to ask another waitress for the bread that we never recieved during our meal to take home. We had bad service and below average food for a valentine dinner. Would not recommend this Restaurant to any one.

Had a wonderful experience. While busy, the staff was attentive & seemed to be genuinely attentive to our needs. Even our bus girl Julia K. was more than accommodating (when I don't even think it was her job)! Thanx again! We'll be back!

Menu has changed dramatically! (FOR THE WORSE) Sorry, but $14 for a very basic fish fry..no bread basket, no soup or salad..just a few small pieces of fish, fries and a bit of coleslaw. The menu has so few choices that they may as well not bother having one. It was also recently remodeled, it has a very cold feeling, not decorated well at all and instead of cloth napkins you actually get a white cotton dish towel with a red stripe on it?? For real!!?? This "restaurant " will most definitely not last.

It was closed but the bar was open. It was a nice set up with a beautiful bar. My fiance and I were able to order some apps and a drink to relax and watch the World Series. Alex was a very attentive bartender that had a great attitude and personality. I did not get a chance to check into a room. The hotel the restaurant is in is extremely close to Mitchell airport making it an easy place to stay for a few days in town or overnight before a flight. They are doing a beautiful job renovating and updating the hotel on the inside! However don't work here...just a tip.

The shuttle driver and the front desk gentleman (Adam) were extremely nice and helpful. Wonderful service. These employees are from the hotel. We ate dinner and we had the Parm. Crusted Rib eye, baked sweet potatoes and jumbalia. The entire dinner was outstanding.
