Chef Klaus Country Cookin

My husband and I stopped in for breakfast on our way through town in September 2017. The place was absolutely packed, which usually is a great sign. The hostess was extremely friendly and chatted with us while we waited for a table. The tables are really packed together, which could be a turn off for some. It does make it a little noisy with all the people stuffed in a smaller area. Our server was friendly and attentive, ensuring we always had full coffee mugs and refills. The food portions were VERY large, which might be great for some! I got the Benedict Florentine and my husband enjoyed the bisquits and gravy. I included photos of how huge the plates were with food! The taste was decent, though not as flavorful as other places. The Hollindase sauce was a little bland. We enjoyed our breakfast and do recommend others to try it out.

Great place for breakfast. They have wonderful flavored teas, which are refilled before you even need to ask. We had fruit crepes -- black current and Morello cherry -- that were just delicious and were so generous, we couldn't finish them. It's very, very busy in the summertime, and there are no reservations, so you can expect to wait just a bit for a table, especially if you want to sit outside on their lovely patio. There's plenty of parking available, as the restaurant is in a small mall. Highly recommend for breakfast.

Went here with family 2/23/19 about 8pm Saturday, and here's my experience. To have a bartender walk around the bar and not notice me standing there with cash in my hand can be quite annoying. I'd understand if they were making a drink order for someone, or doing something that was actually "bar " work, but to just be walking with his head in the clouds. With so many beers on tap, I'm assuming each beer had a different cost, since he didn't know how much a tall domestic beer cost. Our server was friendly and attentive.However the food was less than mediocre. I ordered a burger (medium-well to well), um, I don't think the cooks were on point, cause mine came (rare to medium rare). I may like my steaks medium rare to medium, but not with ground meat. The lighting was dim and used the light from my phone to read the menu, so I wasn't able to tell my burger was way under cooked until I ate more than half already. The French fries tasted like the absorbed all the oil. Saturday happened to be $9.99 any burger (except the highlighted ones). So for $10 +tax, I got an undercooked half pound patty, 1strip and a few crumbles of bacon, 2 o'rings, and a dab of bbq sauce, with oil soaked fries. Mmmhmm, doesn't that just make you want to return? It's bad enough to pay for food like this at these kind of prices, but to listen to wife and kids complain about their food is a bit much. I was sure to bring this attention to the server and/or the manager, but when the wife says "let's just get out of here", I knew I didn't want to embarrass her. Some people have good experiences, some don't. This night, this place, didn't give me a good experience. I probably would eat there again, but it won't be in less than 6 months. It's one thing if one thing was wrong, but multiple things wrong tells a different story. And BTW, since when do they put a booth next to an exposed outlet (at seat cushion level) with a cord plugged in to operate the POS? My son was sitting right next to it, and if he had spilt his water or drink, it would have hit that outlet and cause serious harm. I know that's a safety issue!Hi thank you for bringing i will share this review with management that way, they can work with the kitchen and the bar to provide good service and good quality food. we will do something about the outlet. Thank you

Came by mid-week for the first time for an appetizer and entree. Both were tasty, presented in a friendly, timely manner. My only note was with some of the photos that make the establishment look like a restaurant. Unless I missed the main dining area, the area we were in was of a noisy sports bar.

We had 7 people in our party and made reservations I have time just to make sure we would get a table. It wasn't busy when we got there around 6 o'clock on a Wednesday but by the time we left there was a wait and it was probably because of the shrimp and wings special going on on Wednesdays. We all ordered something different with 5 people ordering a shrimp dish of some kind and 2 of us ordering a chicken dish. So we had a variety of meals and all of them were excellence according to every one of the table. Our service was fantastic. Tiffany is our server and really did a wonderful job refreshing our drinks and getting our food and time period I felt the portion size fit the price of the meals. The portions weren't huge but the prices were also very low to. Dept. The kind of the thing I like to see. If I'm going to pay more I would like a larger portion if I'm gonna pay less a smaller on. I would really recommend this place to anyone.

Stopped in for breakfast, last time I was here I had a croissant breakfast sandwich and had to eat it with a fork and knife, it was kinda soggy, I was unable to eat it as a sandwich. This time I ordered eggs, bacon, toast, and grits. I paid 99 cents extra for the grits instead of hash browns. Everything was good, but the grits, they were soupy.. My husbands omelet was good, so was the service, I’m learning, you just have to know what Not to order here..

I like the Steakhouse feel of this place reminds me of an upscale Steakhouse -- The Dallas Filet was a surprise, absolutely grilled perfectly. I would return to try more Dishes. Service was timely and friendly, I definitely recommend this as a good dining experience.

I’ve heard great thing about this restaurant and finally had the opportunity to go there. Family run and it shows. The service was impeccable, everybody knows everyone and I felt like they knew me too. Food was excellent, had the ribeye. Baked clams for appetizer. Prices are very reasonable, great ambiance.

The hostess said it would be a few minutes to get us a table, we requested to be in the room by the door, it was empty, she seemed surprised, and seated us immediately. It was nice, quiet, and didn’t seem as crowded as the main dining area. We started with oysters on the half shell, then we decided to be brave and try the roasted bone marrow, it was surprisingly good, with the jam, sea salt and lemon. We thought those were our appetizers, so we then ordered our Main Dishes, we thought we would share. We ordered the Octopus and the Ahi Tuna. We were surprised when only the octopus came out in a small bowl, we shared and enjoyed it. Then came the Ahi Tuna again on a small bowl. It too was very tasty. We hadn’t realized we were ordering topas.. Our server was very nice and extremely helpful and knowledgeable about all the dishes and cocktails. We tried several cocktails while we were there as well. All in all it was a really nice interesting meal, with all the small servings, it’s easy to leave and still be hungry. But the food is very good.. And I would opt to sit in the room to the side, it’s much quieter, and they don’t seem to put you there unless you ask..
