Only thing keeping it from being a five-star experience is when the food arrived and we had to wait for silverware. Our excellent wait-staff apologized and said that they had been really busy and run out. The food was great! The children enjoyed visits from two burly cats and watched a couple of raccoons from a safe distance. Overall, a great experience.

Wait was not bad considering time of year and great weather but was disappointed in some of our food, had to send back my daughters chicken sandwich which was severely under cooked and no sweet tea as well our server was not the nicest. She deliberately gave my one daughter watered down lemonade and had an attitude as well. It was disappointing as I brought family there from Canada but feel the food is not as good as it used to be! 

Business response:

Thanks for letting us know about your recent experience. We are sorry it fell short of your expectations. Was your server able to replace the sandwich and lemonade for you?

Much nicer this time not to be sat outside at 40 degrees! Such a busy and fun place!

We waited 1 and a half hrs to be seated which really wasn't that bad considering all the people that were there but then we waited another hour for food which has really gone downhill I have gone there for years but the food is just simply not worth the wait 

Business response:

Dellene- Thanks for taking the time to let us know about your experience. Can you give us a little more insight into what was unsatisfactory about your food? We truly appreciate candid feedback. Without it, we wouldn't know where to improve!

This place is all about the ambiance with multi tiered outdoor seating overlooking the river. The food was mediocre at best. The onion rings that our server raved about were just barely room temperature, but had a good breading. The steak was overdone on our salad - we ordered medium and received well done. My daughter ordered chicken fried chicken and received the chicken fried steak and her mashed potatoes were cold. It took us awhile to track down a manager since our waiter would disappear for an extended period at a time... read more
