We walked in through the doors to the restaurant and were
immediately greeted with a sweet lady telling us "sit anywhere
you'd like" so I led us to a booth up against one of their windows.
.
Our waitress was at our table as soon as we sat down
taking our drink orders and giving us menus to look over.

Nick ordered the chicken fried steak sandwich with homemade fries
.
.
and I ordered the clubhouse sandwich which comes with a side of chips.

I love places that make you feel like you are at your local
everyone-knows your-name food joint and this place definitely
has that vibe. I walked in through the doors feeling like I was
just following through on my normal Sunday afternoon routine
and the homey farmhouse décor of the place really helped
cultivate that feeling as well. Even our plates looked like
ones you would find in your Midwest grandma's kitchen which
was just perfect. Our waitress was super sweet and on top of
things making sure we were well taken care of. In fact, every
staff member we dealt with were very sweet. The food was
alright, nothing super spectacular. Although I do have to
admit spectacular is kind of hard to achieve with a club
sandwich. lol I was pretty surprised to see just how much
meat came on my club sandwich though so not
complaining about that. I definitely want to go back sometime
to try their buffet because once I saw they had fried chicken
up there I knew the "mistake" I made by ordering off the menu. lol
