Customer Reviews
The food was pretty good. We had the fried pork chops and hamburger steak. The breading tasted like the grease needed to be changed. It was too terrible though. The iced tea was awesome and they had large styrofoam cups. However, there was a .50 charge for the cup. The server was very nice but didn’t keep the table cleared so we had to mandarins dirty dishes.
The atmosphere is cute.We were super excited to stop here after driving long long hours. The food was horrible. I have Crohns Disease so I CAN NOT HAVE SPICY food. No where on the menu does it say "Cheese Curds are extra spicy" nor did the waitress say anything about it being spicy, and found out too late. Cheese Curds are NEVER supposed to be ghost peppers. Never supposed to spicy *at all* I couldn't enjoy that. Got Nacho plate, the ground beef was super DRY like it was microwaved too long, a sad plate, taco bell has better nachos. The chicken Fried steak plate was inedible. We sent both plates back and had to leave 100% disappointed. Really wish I could have left a good review, but I genuinely can not. Sadly, I can not recommend this place, nor will we be back. What a shame.
Stumbled upon this place headed back home to Dallas from Florence, TX. Best waitress ever - Angelia! She was friendly, fun, and sold the heck outta the menu items convincing us that the fried oreos were a must and she was not wrong. I had the hamburger steak, and it was hands down the best brown gravy I have ever had. Will find a reason to come back soon!
This place was a random stop on a road trip back home, and it was amazing! The food is solid, it's spacious, has lots of TVs to watch the game, and The people are friendly and our waitress Angelia was amazing! We thought the food would be decent country food, but Angelia walked us through the best options and they exceeded our expectations. I wouldn't have gotten the fried Oreos if it wasn't for her, and she was a positive joy to have as a server. And the Oreos are awesome. Much better than the ones at the state fair. Definitely coming back here on any trip nearby.
Driving up, the exterior is well maintained and the "horse and buggy" provide a rustic charm. Walking in, the rustic charm continues in a pleasing manner. We were seated right away and drink orders taken. We were a large group and the service never failed to be quick. The menu options were all so enticing, I had a hard time choosing. Our waitress was amazing; she was spot-on all the way. My only negative was that the chicken breast was overcooked. The rest of the meal was tasty and satisfying.
