“awesome food. my favorite sandwich is the Tuna melt on sour dough bread. you can't go wrong. it is hard to resist all the baked good on the counter at checkout. and the broasyed chicken is fabulous, even the breast Is juicy. if you get the chicken get the homemade ranch dressing to dip it in.“

“My first job in the restaurant industry before I went to culinary school and became a Chef was in a family restaurant in Carroll County (Bullocks) . Walking in to Mountain gate reminds me a lot of that down home, southern , country feel . Healthy options on the salad bar , a great selection of sweets ( and sugar free) on the dessert bar , and lots of mom and pops meats and potatoes in between !Vegetarian options: Salad bar is fresh and clean !Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, dairy free, nut free , sugar free options!Wheelchair accessibility: Bring your grandma and grandpa , brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews! They can do wheelies in their wheelchairs and motorized scooters!“

“Wonderful Small town restaurant that accomodated 20 of us!Finished a late Fall car cruise at this restaurant for lunch with 20 friends and 15 cars. We had called ahead to let them know and they were ready for us. Our waitress Stephanie was very sweet and efficient.Food portions were scrumptious and HUGE. I did not have it but witnessed the largest omelette I have ever seen in my life.We would go back in a minute!“

“This evening we enjoyed a seriously amazing African meal! The curried chicken, jollof rice, spinach pumpkin seed stew with fufu and beef stew were all amazing! Sabina surely has blessed hands and is an absolutely delight! We will be back again and again!“

“I have been there twice for lunch & for dinner on holidays. Both times I was a guest so I'm not sure if the cost. The atmosphere is high-end rustic... antique with modern fixtures. Make sure to look up and see the train running around the track. The servers are mostly young ladies and there busy the whole time... very friendly, and they remember most requests for refills on food and drinks. The food is holiday typical; turkey ham stuffing mashed potatoes carrots green beans etc. It is served family style; brought out in bowls, they're passed around the table, and ask for refills. They also have hot spices cider while your waiting to be seated. And the meals are served in shifts meaning they fill the restaurant, serve everyone the same food, the clear the restaurant and reset for the next meal... you will need a reservation. I recommend trying it.“

“We love this restaurant! They are kind, the prices are very reasonable, well portioned, and the desserts are well made! A plus for us, the food isn't over-salted like a lot of other places. This place knows how to care for their community, and in doing so, the community takes care of them. Don't change a thing!!“
