    We stumbled on the Thanksgiving buffet at Fern & Fable in 2023. We couldn’t wait to return this year. We love the food, and the picky kids in the family love it, too. The service is great and everyone is personable. This year we had a last minute need for two children and 1 adult who had nowhere to go for a holiday dinner. I sent an email to the email address listed and received a response right away from the event coordinator, Dawn, saying it was “no problem” to add them to my reservation. That made my whole day and was greatly appreciated! Great place, great food, wonderful management!

    We had a buffalo chicken wrap and pulled pork with baked beans. Everything was really good and the waffle fries were delish! We also tried the sours and loved them. We’ll definitely be going back!

    We visited Paddy Whacks on Saint Paddy's day. The places was busy. We were able to find a table for four. The place was packed with people celebrating Saint Paddy's day. The waitress was very attentive with all the commotion going on throughout the place. The food came out in a timely fashion, and it was pretty good for as busy as they were. Would definitely come back.
