“ Great food and service!! Always good food, best salad bar in Clayton County! ”
“ A quaint historic place with a surprisingly diverse menu. It is currently cash and checks only. Lovely well maintained salad bar with multiple ingredients. One of us got at Gluten Sensitive 12 inch crust pizza. Both steamed and breaded cod were available so one of us got steamed cod. There was a Saturday night prime rib (market place price) special but we were at bit early for that at lunch! Clean bathrooms and pleasant service. We would definitely come back! ”
“ When you walk into this old-time saloon feeling restaurant & bar, you won't be disappointed in the food, service or prices. It is one of our favorite places to dine when in the area. Good food, nice portions, great salad bar, friendly service and reasonable prices. ”
“ We have been in MacGregor 3 times and just now tried this place! Good enough we ate lunch and dinner there on the same day. Brisket and nachos were wonderful. For dinner was broasted chicken and breaded shrimp which were equally fantastic. I have to say my favorite part was the Bloody Mary which was the best we have ever had (we have tried many) which also led us to some ridiculously good pickles which we discovered were homemade! You simply have to make those pickles and sell them online so we can have a constant supply! They obviously take making great food seriously! Thanks for the experience ”
“ This is a review of the restaurant, not the hotel. We stopped here for lunch on a Sunday. The place was pretty quiet. The menu is standard bar food and was good. Service was great. Note that this place does not take credit cards. ”
“ We love this place! The food is wonderful and the staff rocks! ”
