Took two hours to get breakfast. Server didn't even seem concerned, was the weirdest experience I've ever had. Felt trapped just wanted to leave. What a weird place, do not go here.

Whoever the big, bald loudmouth guy "working" around the bar is, he would do better for this business by listening and not talking. He kept interjecting his thoughts into out private conversations. Just rude.

Was on a much needed R&R and this very friendly, appealing bar and grill certainly fit the bill. The young lady, who waited on us, was very accommodating. Enjoyed the pizza and atmosphere very much.
Was very relaxing. Will visit again when we are up that way.

Went there yesterday because of some reviews. They were spot on.... I had some wings with fries and my wife had a chicken cordon blue sandwich and fries. We also had an order of onion rings for an appetizer. They were all delicious and I would highly recommend!

Not impressed at all. Fish fry prices are high and not all you can eat. Fried fish was not crispy, it was sitting in grease on the plate. Wasn't the worst thing in the world but there are better places in this area that are cheaper.
Also, the seating area needed a good cleaning. Dust covers the molding right obove the table, about 5" from table top.

When I came to eat here I was horrified and disgusted to see a confederate flag hanging in the restaurant, which says “If the South would have won, we would’ve had it made”. This blatant support of slavery and oppression of Black folks and shows that they are not welcome here. The flag needs to be removed and amends need to be made. When my friend called to ask that they take it down, the staff member was rude and nasty to her.

With a Confederate Flag hanging up that says “If the South had won, we would have had it made,” I would suggest eating ANYWHERE but here.

Stopped in for lunch. I was hungry too. Place had about10 people inside. Not really busy. All down on the far end of the bar. Bartender served me a beer and immediately walked away to chat it up with his local customers before I could request a menu. I finished my beer, still sitting waiting to request a menu. Finally he walked about 10 feet away from me, still engaged in conversation with his regulars, and I asked how much I owe for the beer. I laid down the money and walked out. If I want to be ignored, I would get a cat.

The bartender was super nice and he suggested me a burger to try and it was absolutely delicious. Best I've ever had. It could be something to do with the fact that I had a 4-Hour bike ride and I was crazy starving when I got there.

I went in with two other people around 9:30pm. I could tell the bartender, Sandy was drunk when I walked in. I think that is unprofessional. Dont mix business with pleasure. She was very welcoming and greeted us. I am not a drinker so I requested for a water, but Sandy seemed to dismiss my request and was more attentive towards the other two I came with, who purchased alcohol. My sister had request for two different kinds of seltzers that were sitting out for advertisement and Sandy didn't seem to realize she was out of the first two kinds of seltzer's. It was annoying to see Sandy picking through every can to figure out if she had the ones requested. A business owner should be aware of their own inventory, therefore denying any requests can effectively be made with customers instead of searching far and wide to find out something hasn't been restocked. I will not be returning with this first impression made. Rick was helpful with figuring out where the fishing spots were, otherwise and would prob be the only reason you'd be okay with visiting this bar.

We stopped in for a beer and a meal on a Wednesday night. Honestly we had never been here as we always go to the same places every year. The owners were bartending and cooking. A local lady recommended a couple things. We had the chicken tenders. There were 4 beautifully seasoned and breaded huge pieces that were real chicken breast, they were juicy and cooked perfectly. We also had a burger that was big and juicy and cooked perfectly.The lettuce, tomato and onion were fresh and the bun very tasty. We had the seasoned fries that were crispy and you could tell the fryer oil was fresh. The bathrooms were very clean as well as the bar and restaurant. It was a slower night and not alot of people. We had great conversation with the owners. We highly recommend stopping by and it was the best bar food we had in the 3 weeks we've been up here. Keep doing what you are doing!

If you can look past the confederate flags on the ceiling, the burgers were fine. Pretty disturbing to see those hung be honest - take them down, it's 2021. Bartender complained every time we ordered an old fashioned because they 'took too long to make'. Would not recommend going.

This is just a bar. Don't bother ordering breakfast. It takes over an hour to make anything. One person up front, one in the kitchen. Food was ok but not worth 1:15 waiting for it

Service was ridiculously slow on a Sunday morning for breakfast. Sat here for over an hour waiting on our omelets and skillets only for the food get delivered to the wrong table and have to wait all over again. Food that we got was marginal. Just stop here on your ATV for drinks and don't expect much more from this place.

My father-in-law never wanted to go to the Wayside. He hated the place. Decided to finally give it a try for ourselves. Stopped in for a beverage and appetizer. The place is beat up, dirty and old. The napkin holder was filthy and held together with dirty tape. All seats were ripped and rickety. The owners were drilling us so much we couldn't wait to leave. I would not recommend it.
