"Before you think I'm crazy after ordering meat leaflets in an obviously Italian restaurant, it was the special of the day and the checkout said it's amazing and made only once a month. Man, she wasn't a joke! It must take a whole month to make a dish so delicious and filled with homemade goodness! Let's first talk about the garlic bread... that thought something so easy could be so delicious, but it was: Toasty buttery goodness!! The obviously handmade potatoes w/ exactly the correct amount of potato skin mixed in this fluffy, creamy mixture was the absolutely perfect side for the main attraction, THE MEATLOAF! Great fleshy texture with crisp edges from the grill and an amazing velvety brown sauce like I never had before. I ordered it on the side as I usually don't find it so delightful, but I found myself pouring it over the meat leaf immediately and immersed everything I could in it! Even the harmless baby caroots in a herbal butter sauce could shine through in this amazing occupation of characters alone! Must start the dates down on my calendar as the last time I was here I had the Chicken Fried Steak, which was also monthly. Hopefully I'll come to the other dishes on their menu sometime! Ultimately, if you've never been here, every inch of this place is filled with film star memory from the last decades. It is a quiet, dim, and extremely relaxing atmosphere to escape from your daily routine. Hold on."

"5/19/18 This place is really in the middle of nowhere, but you probably already know that if you 're looking at this. I can 't really recall though whether there 's much of any choice though around here, so, you might be stuck between a rock and a hard place... Yeah, the food sucks hell. And you definitely would expect that given there really ain 't anything you 'd come to recognize as a place to eat anywhere around here. BUT, what is keeping me from giving them 1 single lonely star is that I actually feel bad talking **** about their food cause the lady working here is so nice. I really don 't wanna hurt her feelings cause she seems like a great person, but man.... no way around it the food sucks amazing hell... 1. Pork Wings 'N ' Fries $8.50: OMFG.... you get 3 tiny pieces of.... what? pork turd? Not only are they ugly as f, they taste like they look. Did I mention they 're TINY??? like maybe 1/2 the meat you 'd find on a good country rib 's worth of meat. And it was super dry and ultra flavorless. The fries were kinda like McDonald 's, which would be a good thing, but nothing can offset how badly made these pork turds were. 1/10 2. Chocolate Chip Cookie: Can 't believe they screwed up a frickin ' chocolate chip cookie. Like who does that? It 's hard, but not crunchy. Not sure if it was meant to be chewy or crunchy, but whatever it was meant to be don 't matter cause it ain 't going in my mouth no more. 2.5/10 3. Sweet Potato Tots $4.00: WOW. After those 2, I dunno how they managed to do this, but these are AMAZING! So juicy, and that sweet potato piping hot insides are so yummy. Ultra flavorful, like the complete opposite of those pork wings. After eating this, I dunno why I 've never seen such tots anywhere else. 10/10 So........ that sweet cashier (owner? came over and made the mistake of asking me how I liked the pork (yeah, she recommended them. Well, I ain 't the type to lie, so yeah, I told her they were dry. She apologized and left..... but then later came back and sincerely asked how she could make things right. I told her I 'm okay but that I really appreciated that she made the offer. Kindness goes a long way... ...well... some a 'ways anyway... was gonna give this place a 1 like I said, but... 2/5 #grandlake #colorado #wedding #americanfood"
