Customer Reviews

"Great place to enjoy a well prepared, casual meal, with prompt, professional, friendly service, in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Excellent value. Driving through the lowlands, I felt very hungry and wanted a "country style" meal. I just happened to drive by this place. The parking lot was full. I pulled in and discovered thos nice, little restaurant full of Saturday morning family diners chatting away over tasty meals. I had the homemade bbq with cole slaw, fries, and coffee. The coffee was pretty good and served fast. The bbq pork had a great flavor. It was cut up a little small for my preference, but was not bad. The cole slaw was fresh, tasty, and not too sweet - star of the show. They were busy! The staff did a great job keeping up with everything. My food came out super fast, with a smile, and server Ashleigh, even brought out hot sauce on her first trip. A+ service."

"Came across this restaurant while visiting Bath and it was wonderful. As you can see from the photos, it was so good, my husband couldn't even wait for me to take the picture before digging in . I had the oysters and my husband had the pork chops. Highly recommended and the staff were great!"

"Never been to Bath before. After spending some time down by the waterfront, we came here for lunch. The parking lot was nearly full, which is always a good sign. We both had burgers that were really good. We also had fries, but I got the chili cheese fries. The chili was absolutely amazing. Maybe the best I've ever had anywhere! The waitress tag team were both really nice and kept our drinks full checking on us often. We'll definitely return if we're back this way."

- Chris K.

"Nice home atmosphere, the only issue I've had at this restaurant is I ordered a cheese biscuit but was brought toast and was told that they were out of cheese biscuits, I over heard other people ordering them and got them, they then tried to charge extra for a cheese biscuit I never received."

- Elisabeth J.

"Me and my friend took a little day trip to Bath and chose to eat here for lunch. We both had burgers, and they were very good. Service was a little slow, but they were quite busy when we arrived. There were some nice decorative touches, like the signs on the restrooms & some of the wall art. I had to include the sign above the toilet as it made me laugh. I would recommend giving them a try."

- Sherry R.

"Great family style dinner. Great food, great quality, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Try the Cheese Rolls. They sell out so come early."
