| - Wow, real feel of country time out here, just as soon as you walk through the doors. Service was friendly and we got seated right way, during the busy weekday lunch traffic. It was crowded and they have weekly specials so people might have been here for the Thursday meatloaf.
I tried the two piece fried chicken which was quite delicious. It came with a huge mound of mashed potatoes smothered in gravy and a choice of veggie side ( I skipped the salad bar because the portions were already looking too big). The choice of sides were green beans or glazed carrots. The overcooked carrots were served in a bowl of sweet oil (probably melted butter) which tasted decent but looked like a heart attack. You can chose to get only white meat for a higher price, but otherwise you get a drumstick and thigh piece.
The meat loaf was decent, though not quite that flavorful. It also came with the same options for sides.
The breaded chicken sandwich was a huge portion with tomatoes, lettuce, pickles you can add in, plus a side of fries and let's not forget the enormous dinner rolls with the apple butter.
Definitely huge portions, as the waitress said "if you leave here hungry it's your own fault"
For drinks I had an apple juice which tasted like syrup so I had to switch to water. They had plenty of sodas to chose from, and coffee and tea.
We split an apple dumpling because we barely had room. It was enormous too, which two large scoops of ice cream (you should get it a la mode). I was a little underwhelmed for noting it was their namesake. It wasn't that flavorful or sweet. It had this sticky stringy consistency that was a little off putting, like cheese polymers or slime.
Nevertheless I would definitely come back for the fried chicken and maybe try out a daily special. They also do a full breakfast, which I imagine is also quite popular.
Plenty of parking around the building. Pay at the cashier but don't forget to leave a tip and the table for the waitress. Apparently you can order over the phone for a pick up, if you just want to stop by and take it home to eat.
