| - As my wife mentioned in her post, we were looking to try something new in the area and this was one of our many bookmarked places that had some great Yelp! feedback, so we decided to give it a try.
The restaurant itself was really nicely laid out and had plenty of space for groups from small to large. I really liked the design, with exposed bricks, flame sconces, and heavy wood beams. It has a very homey, cozy, earthy feel to it.
We were seated right away and our server let us know he'd be with us shortly. After looking over the menu for a bit, we both decided on our picks. I chose the country fried steak with carrots and fries. The portions were enormous! The breading on the steak was a bit much for my personal tastes, but it was flavorful and otherwise well prepared. The fries were crisp shoe-strings, somewhere between McDonald's and Steak 'n Shake in size (but far superior otherwise). The carrots were perfectly cooked and had a nice glaze on them. Over all very good, and more than I could eat!
My wife selected the Hickory burger with a side of the baked potato soup (the soup of the day special). The burger was cooked to the medium she ordered, and had two healthy sized slices of Canadian bacon on top of it. It was loaded with shredded cheddar.
Our server was helpful and took the time to answer a couple questions we had about the menu since we both have food allergies, even if it meant going to find the answer. The pricing is a bit high for options other than burgers / sandwiches, but the portion sizes are huge and the service is great, so for a nice date night out, it's a good option!
