"Wow! That was a new experience for us. It's almost like a cafeteria line. I have no idea how the employees can keep up with all orders. I had land ham sandwich, another in our group had a burger and one had the BBQ. If you add the onion rings and frits it?s enough for 2-3 persons. I was glad we saw records before us because it's a ton of food. The tea reminded me of my grandmothers. Great stop in the area!"

Great food! Huge portions! I got the shrimp plate and my husband got the seafood combo with flounder and shrimp. I could only eat about 1/4 of them. Fried onions are delicious!

Nostalgic. Is this the best food ever?. Nope. Will I come back again and again? Yes. You can't quantify how nostalgia changes the flavor and perception of what we eat. This place, steeped in tradition pulls at those who grew up with its flavors.

Friendly and personal workers. Fast service. More food than we could finish in a session. The mouths of the onion rings! Food was good, Desserts too. Many history on the walls and behind the counters. Good atmosphere. Must experience when in the area.

"My husband and I recently visited for our Anniversary. The first 15 minutes was magical, however the experience went down hill quickly (sadly). Quick Summary: Our appetizer was so fresh and yummy. Our Steaks weren't the greatest at all. One was pretty much burnt all around the edges. Still on the juicy side but still the flavor was nearly ruined.‍ We got many sides, not knowing they were large portions. The Brussels were great. The fries pretty good. The mashed potatoes awful and no flavor. I can't remember the wine I had with my meal, because they were out of my original pick. It was very nice and balanced with the meal. With all of the food aside, my service was truly hit or miss. Our waitress assistant was amazing and helpful, however we hardly saw them. The waitress herself was so short and avoided answering questions, or just didn't know much. She also pushed us along. She wanted to bring the check and didn't ask about dessert when we were eating our meal. When I said we wanted dessert she seemed nearly annoyed. Mumbled a few options. I asked for a drink to go with dessert and was ignored/over talked. My husband stood up and walked over to reiterate/correct it. The chocolate torte was rich and sweet. Paired well with the sparkling wine. The dessert was a much smaller portion compared to the sides. Overall I was let down for such a special night. Not sure I'd ever drop that much money again for such short service. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $100+ Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Chocolate Tart"
