Reservations recommended. We got 10 min late, but got seated fairly quickly. Kids choices are slightly limited but with sides... and pretzels on the main menu, we made it work. Many strawberry options, as we were during strawberry season. Read more

We went on St Patrick's day and were disappointed they didn't have Corn Beef and Cabbage but I had a chicken power bowl and it... was excellent. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed shopping after lunch. Hint for you with kids they have little shoppingcarts which my granddaughter loved. Read more
We had a party of 7 hungry folks. We were provided a nice private dining room with plenty of space & great natural lighting. ... Our meals were well prepared & delicious. Dustin, our waiter, was exceptionally patient, attentive, thorough & professional. Read more
Homey, popular country restaurant. We went on a Saturday in mid-October and were told the wait would be 35-40 minutes for a... table. Thankfully we stuck around and it was more like 25 minutes. There weren't a lot of vegetarian options, but I enjoyed theopportunity to eat a couple appetizers and call it lunch! I had the fried okra and spicy breaded cauliflower, both of which aredelicious. The cauliflower truly IS spicy--I think it's dipped in Buffalo sauce. My friend had the pulled pork mac & cheese andthe onion petals. Our waitress was fantastic and our food came quickly. If you visit the Belleville farm, I recommend stoppingby. Read more
Very disappointed! Didn’t realize it was a tourist trap. We thought it was a local farm to table restaurant. It was more like... cafeteria food that came late and cold. The picture is of a chicken leg they took back after I complained. It looked like theyhad re fried a partially eaten piece. We booked a reservation and got seated 15 min past the time, so, our wait wasn’t bad.We did see others who were walk ins and waiting 2 hours. One lady was at the counter complaining because here wait had justchanged form next to 5 ahead of her? They explained she had been bumped down for people showing up for online reservations. Point is, at least in fall season - make sure to book online. We got to order apps right away it took another 15 min before wecould order food. 30 minutes passed before the apps and salad came out. 2 of 3 apps were totally cold. Salads were mainlyarugula and even some wilted. Food finally came. Chicken and dumplings was a small cup-sized bowl of chicken soup.Sides cold.Waitress not apologetic but they took of bill. Read more
