| - Took a long nap after arriving at the motel and woke up hungry! The restaurant is really the only food accessible without leaving, so W and I ambled our way there around 6pm - there are no lights between the motel and restaurant, and there aren't really any good signs, so it took us a few minutes and our cell phone flashlights to reach the restaurant.
There is a big sign when you walk in that says "WAIT TO BE SEATED BY HOSTESS" - we stood there for a couple of minutes and there was no hostess and not even a greeting by the bartender. W finally asked someone if we could just sit anywhere and they gave us the go ahead.
Ordered BBQ ribs and BBQ chicken sandwich. Food is pricey for what it is; I think it must all be pre-bought/cooked, because our food arrived only a few minutes after ordering. The salad that came with the ribs were probably the best food out of everything we've had. Ribs were ok but not that tender (we guessed pre-frozen), and chicken was flavorful but dry (anything is flavorful if you add enough sauce). The sides were atrocious; sub-par coleslaw, moldy beans, and cold corn kernels.
Lastly - this isn't part of my experience, but as we were leaving, a couple came in with their kid and sat at the bar (again, no hostess to greet them). Bartender could've directed them towards one of the tables in the dining room, but instead gruffly told them "No kids are allowed at the bar!" No hello, no re-direct, nothing, and they ended up leaving.
I would consider nominating this place for an episode of "Kitchen Nightmares." Maybe this place is better and the food is fresher during the day, but we were very disappointed.
