    This place is a gem in the middle of nowhere. The setting is amazing and the decor is top notch. The food, especially the chicken fried steak, is superb. Top the food off with the whiskey cocktails which are perfectly made. I had the frozen old fashioned. Well, 2 of them!

    We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and have no complaints so this is offered as constructive commentary. There were service hiccups but in fairness our server advised it was her first day and she hadn’t realized we were part of her station until we asked a hostess to send us a server. Honesty goes a long way with me and she did everything possible to make up the 30-40 minute delay in taking our first drink order. We were not angry and it did not mar our experience in any way. There was also an episode at the bar and only 2 bartenders on duty so they had their hands full. Keith, who has served us before, stepped in to help in the drink orders. Again, we will continue to be customers because the food and ambiance are exemplary and we know that things happen and everyone can have a rough night. Keep doing what you’re doing right and we will be back. Thanks for an otherwise great night (our delayed family Christmas dinner).

    I had a very good center cut steak. Only choice for that is 12 ounces though. We also had mashed potatoes, green beans and corn and spinach.

    Food was good. There was confusion with where to seat our party even though the reservation had been made over a month ago. Our waitress was slow, we constantly had to ask for refills on drinks, and to remove plates. The value for the money was fine if the service was better. I know they are still new and working out the kinks. We will be back.
