★★★★★ 5.0 Ben Caruso · Dec 2025

I ordered a cheeseburger the other day and it was really delicious here. Yesterday I tried a Hot Roast Beef Sandwich and Onion Rings with French Onion Soup and WOW! The food is always great here!

Clean and comfortable. Basic rooms. Microwave and mini fridge. Free coffee at the vending area. We ate at the restaurant, sat in the lounge. The food was good. Beer was cold. The service was great. I played pull tabs, and they have Keno. The view is overlooking a small field surrounded by woods where deer come to graze freely. I enjoyed my stay.

Had the Buffet. Wasn’t worth the money. Everything was dry and tasted nasty. Would not recommend.

I got over charged like three times for the salad, an food bar. Price is $15.00 for that meal. It happened like three times. The cook on one night which was a woman came out of the kitchen an started harassing me! The times I got over charged I had to pay $30.00 each time those three times. Chicken was very dry an hard to swallow. Last time I went like a day ago same thing happened overcharged. An the new owners wife came past my table looking to fight with me an I just came in to eat my food, enjoy the night, an be respectfully This restaurant was awesome in its day when Frank, Pat, an Hollie Lerash owned it but now from my point of view..not good! I was an employee when the Lerashes owned it. An they were good business people..The new owners could take a lesson on how to run a restaurant
