    I love this place. The cellar is my favorite. The wings are delicious and so is the shrimp basket. Even the waffle fries are amazing. I highly recommend getting them with cheese and bacon. This place is a whole experience.

    A great place with great food. I loved the feeling of being in an old inn and dining with friends. I really noticed the wood trim on the doors and window frames. Our server was great, she was knowledgeable on gluten free options, which I appreciate. I got wings and cheesy steak fries. They were delicious. The wings were perfectly done and just the right size. They were so good they were even still tasty days later, reheated in my hot logic. Would definitely go here again.

    The food was good, but they nit-pick the prices of everything. The server was kind. Our server asked what sides we wanted, that any of the Appetizers (Munchies) could substitute as a side but there may be an upcharge. So I got the chicken wrap and subbed Pretzel Sticks instead of fries. I asked for a side of ranch and they charged me for 2 small containers of ranch. They charged me full price for the chicken wrap even though I didn't get the fries and full price for the Pretzel sticks that should have been an upcharge as a subbed side. At first she said the manager could do morning about it because they didn't have a button to sub the pretzel sticks. Then I asked for a side of fries to go and the manager eventually agreed to that.

    This is one of those restaurants with a packed parking lot, and for good reason. Absolutely delicious chicken wings! Great staff, friendly service, good food. This trifecta is a winner.

    Today was our first visit and we absolutely loved it. I had the chicken wings and the fried chicken. They were perfectly prepared!!! The staff was great and the location is rich in beauty (if you enjoy historic places). I highly recommend this place to eat as well as a quick tour. 😊
