What can I say. I had such high hopes for this place. But. The food was ... Not worth it! At all! Well actually the paperkash was really good. However, my burger was raw (ordered it well done), suddenly 40 minutes after ordering I was told it would cost extra to get the items on it that are listed on the menu and the chicken tenders were burnt. The cheese tator tots were foul. There is no other way to put it. Foul. For this I was charged $100! How they got a 4.2 rating is insane. We won't be back.Food & drinks: No! Just NO.

What a dump!! The mattress we slept on should be in dumpster. All other rooms were vacant but they gave us the smallest room. The shower sprayed water out with no power so the tub filled up with water so you were standing in water up to your ankles. No other guests were here during the eclipse weekend so that tells us how stupid we were to stay here. We will never ever forget the worse stay ever!! I cannot understand how these new owners think they are going to do any business. I want my money back but I’m sure that’s not going to happen. I could go and on on but I just want to go home. Ugh! I am so upset!!

I cannot speak for the hotel portion of the business as my boyfriend and I just went for dinner and a show. We had decided to share appetizers instead of ordering full meals. We were surprised when we were served food reminiscent of a Little League concession stand, paper boats and all. I was expecting something a tad bit classier? The server questioned us numerous times in an attempt to get us to order meals as well. Glad we didn't since we both ended up with heartburn that night.Food & drinks: See above

We had a party of 4 for the Easter buffet. Everything was tasty & hot! Service was very attentive. IMO, the only draw back was that it started @ 10, & they were not ready.. easy fix! For the price, it was a great variety. Will definitely be back if they have it again.

Eclectic spot with lots of character, food was excellent, service was good, the music entertainment from the Neil Young tribute was very enjoyable. Overall, we'd like to try it again!Food & drinks: Food and drinks were prepared well, average portions, affordable...Noteworthy details: They host live music, and the Neil Young band was enjoyable.

Came to check out the music in their after dinner live room. It's acoustics support all kinds of live music. Excellent attentive staff. Ownership and management were welcoming. Felt at home here.Did not stay at the inn.

Went to watch a band and ordered food while we waited for the show. Our food did not come out at the same time; the burger was overcooked and dry; the blt was burnt to a crisp and inedible. Sent the blt back and they replaced the bread and sent it back out with the burnt bacon! Our server was overwhelmed and not very pleasant when we complained. After the band started she never came back to the full table even though there were paying customers drinking. Don’t believe I will ever eat there again.

We went to see a band play. Checked the menu online before hand. When we got there we got seated and was handed a paper sheet menu (not online menu). We were disappointed but we're still going to order. No one came back to take a drink or food order for over 15 min, and there was like only 8 other people there. Who all had drinks and food already. So we left.
