The mushroom Swiss burger was really good. The girls are super sweet and timely. It’s a cute restaurant. Bathrooms could used to be cleaned. There was mold on the toilets.

Really blown away by anyone who gives this place over a 1 star. The Alfredo was all water no flavor. The rare steak is medium well, the fries look like they was cooked in oil from 4 weeks ago. We will never stop here again thank god it’s a one time stop for a ball game ? also since when do customers get to go behind the bar and make their own drinks & fill to go cups with beer straight from the tap ?

This is my second time eating here. I had to give it another chance after the first time I was let down. Well I was let down again. The food is mediocre at best. The portions are tiny. And the food is just bland.

Long drive but well worth it. Right beside the Polar Express train ride. We started with the buffalo chicken dip (cheesy) chips not good. My granddaughter went with the kids cheeseburger and fries. My daughter chose steak dinner with mac n cheese, and potato. My wife the meatloaf special on Fridays (5/10). I decided on the quesadilla cheese burger (8/10). This is really a hidden gem the prices are very reasonable. This is a must stop if you're going to ride the train. This is a Military friendly place.

Sirloin dinner is a great value and has always been cooked a perfect medium rare.

As the owner of Yes! Go Travel I have the opportunity to visit many restaurants worldwide. Without hesitation I can say Ryan West and his staff is the best I've experienced. I took 107 people to his restaurant for a Fall Foliage tour, I was blown away that in 37 minutes all my passengers was served hot and delicious food. With a group this large I always allow for a minimum of two hours for any restaurant. To be served in a half of an hour is unheard of in my travel world. The next Saturday I returned with 54 passengers and once again the staff performed like a well oiled machine. For anyone who enjoys group travel be sure to pencil in this restaurant and the Big South Fork Train ride. The people of Stearns are so welcoming to travelers. I can't wait until the day I return.

Big portions for what you pay. The fried catfish was so good. Like best ever had. The chicken salad was huge. Fried green tomatoes were out of this world. The waitress was super nice and quick. Great spot to stop when visiting the area.

We stopped here while visiting somewhere else. The food was great. We got a variety of meals, including burgers and chicken tenders. Do not be confused by the tenders. These chicken tenders are huge.The only takeaway was that they were understaffed for the number of customers they had and the service suffered.
