We had a large group. We called ahead to reserve tables. They had it set up when we arrived. Everyone had an enjoyable meal and wasn't rushed out. We do this once a year and planning on next year.

Maybe just a bad night, but.... Ribs and shrimp on Sunday? Ribs tasted like they came from a crock pot full of water, then dried for 2 days, then sloshed with sauce and nuked. Shrimp were the size of sand fleas, awful.

Had dinner. I ordered a pasta special. Fettuccine with tiger shrimp, mushrooms, kalamata olives, spinach and a vodka sauce. The special comes with a salad or soup. I had both, chicken dumpling soup, french and blue cheese dressings on the salad. The shrimp was forgotten on the pasta. I mentioned it to the waitress and she went in the kitchen and had the chef make up the shrimp. She brought it out in a separate plate. I added the shrimp to the pasta dish. I had water and lemonade to drink. The waitress adjusted the bill because the chef forgot the shrimp. Everything tasted very good. I was well pleased with the service and the food. I will order this dish again. No photos this time.

I have never had a bad burger until today. I always order a mushroom swiss burger, medium. The one I had today had very little cheese and mushrooms, and it appears the size of the patty itself has been reduced. It didn't have much flavor overall. Needless to say, I won't order that again.

The service was friendly and efficient. We had a quiet table in the back room because there were 15 of us and it was very nice. The food came out quickly and was all reasonably priced. My husband wasn't thrilled about the spaghetti and meatballs but the salads were fresh and everyone else enjoyed their roasted chicken, chicken tenders, fish, burgers ,etc.

Did the Father’s Day brunch, most of the items on the buffet were nasty and what items you thought would be good were extremely salty, party of four and they jammed us with a 15% gratuity and not once did they offer to refill my glass of water. Felt sick the rest of the day. Sorry I live in Watertown and I’ll never go back!

The hamburger I had was super salty. The waitress was sweet, but she just took it for granted that I didn't want my change back, which would give her more than a 20% tip.

This place is a complete rip off. The staff was really quick with us, and not informative at all. They have NO IDEA what a special is and have NO BUSINESS charging the amount of money that they do. They charge you nearly 30 dollars for their special ribeye and prime rib, the ribeye was a QUARTER inch thick!! The LARGE 22 OZ Prime rib was the size of my hand and I have my mother's hands. The owners family was eating there at the same time and the whole staff was waiting on them instead of helping us the paying customer, as well the oldest daughter (or the owners sugar baby) being extremely rude and walking around the restaurant talking loudly on her phone. They also subbed out my daughter's children's spaghetti with fettuccine and raised the price to 16 dollars without telling us because they were out of spaghetti. Our meal in total was almost 100 dollars for 2 adults and a 4 year old. The place was cold as ice and way to dark.. Let me just repeat this one last time.... this place isn't worth 100 dollars for a dinner. 0/10 will never return and I beg you to never go here either. Message to the owner, I do not want a free dinner or money back. Get your house in order before someone sues you.

We went there for Thanksgiving buffet. The Buffet was great all the food was hot and tasted fantastic and in good supply. The servers were more that polite and serviced our table at least 6 or 7 times with coffee and just to ask if we needed something. I have never had that kind of great service at a buffet and especially not at a busy holiday one. I give credit to all the staff but especially to great management/ownership. My wife and I will be back and are regular customers. Glenn & Sue W.

Too bad I can’t give this 0 stars!! Let’s start with our terrible service. Some young kid asked what we wanted to drink we said 2 mimosas and he just walks off, another server comes over and asks what we wanted to drink doesn’t explain that he was underage and couldn’t take the drink order and again just walks off. Then the ordering not even sat down for 2 minutes and we’re asked what we want to order, so we order 2 everything omelettes hash browns are separate charge (ridiculous) who has breakfast on there menu where all you get is toast with it. 1 eggs Benedict, (that was ok). Omelettes were gross toast was cold butter wasn’t even melted. I could complain about more but it isn’t worth it. Just a crap place with food because people don’t want to cook at home. Will never go here again.

If you want heated up Sysco food, this is the place for you. If I could give a 0 rating, this would be it. Worst food I have had here in Watertown.
We took the family for dinner last night. I got seafood Alfredo, and it made me literally sick. It also tasted bad, 0/10. 1 son got a mac'n'cheese kids meal for $6, it was knock off Kraft worth about $1, 2/10. He also got a cheeseburger meal. The burger was 1/10th of an inch thick and well done, 0/10. Wife got veal parmesan, not bad, 6/10. Another son got a salmon meal, 4/10.
When they asked how the food was, I said it wasn't good, and the server laughed about it. When we were leaving, what I presume is the manager came by to ask how the food was, and I said I thought it was making me sick and I told her what we thought of the food, and she said she would let the owner know.... No attempt at a remedy or apology.
I 10/10 will NEVER go back or recommend this place.

I decided to try the buffet and it was very heavy on meat options which caused it to be very high in salt. There was no fruit or salad offered. Members of my dining party ordered pasta with a side salad and they said it was ok.
I would not go here again. Skip this place and head to Mullen’s Dairy Bar located in downtown by the public library & grab a burger and one of their home style ice cream!

Let me start by saying that I am a big proponent of family style restaurants. The waitress we had was very friendly but not 100% on the ball. When I ordered my omelet she asked me how I wanted my eggs. I did not know how to respond so I just said omelet. Im sure it was just a moment of brain fog and honestly I thought it was more funny than anything. I ordered a side of sausage and was brought bacon. Not what I wanted but I like bacon so I wasn't upset. My omelet was a little overcooked and the bacon was very rubbery. My wife said her hash skillet was good but not much cornedbeef on it. Her coffee cup had a dirty ring on the inside that I am assuming was dried coffee grounds. Without trying to be overly critical, the food was just ok. Our bill was around $35 before tip. I hope we just caught them on an off day, because I would like to see more family style restaurants around.

Took a ride down to Watertown from Beaver Dam for some shopping and other stuff and spotted this place with my girlfriend. She said she had eaten here before and thought the food was great so we gave it a try. I was NOT disappointed! We both ordered a breakfast skillet and they were fantastic. Our waitress (sorry forgot your name) with the southern accent was awesome and friendly. I plan on coming back again to try some of the lunch and dinner options.

I love this spot. But today.... My wife and I walk in. Set at a table. Younger teen comes and ask us for drinks. My man is cool. His service was awesome. Okay. Now the Waitress. The country twang woman. She never wanted to serve us. We watched how she tried her hardest to avoid us and have the other server get our table. You know us melinated Hispanic folks do tip. Shocked. When she came over she waited on us from a near by booth like as if we had covid. She had a attitude. She brought us our soup. After that. I got up and paid for our soup and left. I said her attitude had me leave. I can not fathom ignorant rude people.

The bakery items looked so good that I had them package carrot cake slices and cinnamon rolls to bring home AND an additional meal to bring home! Prices are reasonable and portions are nicely sized.

Never go home hungry and always leave with a to go box.
Large menu to choose from.
Food quality has improved, I noticed today many more customers were coming in.
Food is better than last time I was there.
Prices are average, even good for the amount you get.
Looks like the owner is listening to its customers.
Try them out.

Usually very good, but today (7/28/23) was different. The girl who gave us menus did not give one to my 3 granddaughters. She could hardly be heard when she asked of our drink orders. The meal (when it finally came) was less than stellar. The chowder soup was not what we expected. One of us had a salad that was still dripping from being rinsed. Another's chicken salad croissant was runny. The girl who refilled one granddaughter's Styrofoam cup pierced it with her long fingernail to the point is leaked. No one checked on us to see if everything was OK. On the positive side, two of us had the fish fry, which was very good.
