I didn’t expect this place to be this good! The food and drinks here are absolutely delicious and exceeded my expectations. The flavors were rich and freshly made, and every dish came out perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making it a great place to relax and enjoy your meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely come back again this spot is a hidden gem worth visiting! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, refreshing drinks, and a relaxing dining experience. Whether you’re with friends or family, this is the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy good company.

Great food. Unique tasty menu. They have a good challenge if you dare to try it. I can handle hot stuff but that burger is no joke..

Solid 3.5 if I could give fractal stars. But not 4. Party of 2 was seated without issue, staff was friendly and accommodating..
We ordered drinks, I ordered a Long Island Iced Tea, and my wife ordered a Mocktail off their summer cocktails called Mr. Blue Sky. They were very good.
Appetizers:
Went for the Cauliflower Wings and Pretzel Rails. My wife, being vegetarian, we tend to order universal sides for the table. To be honest, I was underwhelmed with the Buffalo on the cauliflower. However, my wife seemed to enjoy it as it’s mostly never a veg option. As for the pretzel rails. My wife’s family is from the Alps of Bavaria, I’ve been doing food reviews for a long, long time. Her vote doesn’t count because it never measures a German pretzel regardless. However, we both felt the salt was overloaded, and they were a little spongy. However, I will say I appreciated the horseradish in the ground mustard. I also thought the beer cheese was good.
Mains:
My wife ordered the Fun Guy burger with Onion rings, and I got the 12oz ribeye, medium rare with Onion Rings and coleslaw.
She liked the play on the burger and truly appreciated it. It was different than a black bean or impossible mix. So, for her, it was a real hit. When I write these reviews, most of the time, her input is from the sides or the app. Vegetarian mains are usually the boring parts of the meal. So well done.
Second Round:
For the second round of drinks, we both ordered different. She got the S&B smoothie Mocktail version, and I got the One-In-A-Melon. To be honest, I liked it but I’ve tried it already in frozen form as a margarita, and the spice rim did little for me. The bartender made an incredible long island, throw that on the list instead. I did however I did almost need the slice of watermelon. It was 88 degrees at the time of review it was refreshing.
I want to give proper attention to the bar it was solid , the freshness of the fruit, an attention to detail was very good. My wife felt the same way rhe 2nd round felt more predictable in flavors for her in the s and she preferred the Mr. Blue Sky, however she noticed that the preparation and presentation of the beverages was clear and not rushed and I felt the same. Taste is taste but the delivery was there.
My Steak:
I made my main its own entry for one reason. it was misplaced on the menu. When the waitress brought out not only A1 but Lea and Parrins, I thought, “oh shit what did I order.” As anybody like me would know, that’s almost something requested, as the meat is supposed to stand on its own. Then I especially got nervous when I looked and the amount the use the bottles got.
But let me tell you. It was excellent, fully flavored, tender, cut like butter. The kitchen did everything right. However, its thickness, seasoning, cooking style, and overall grade led to the one thing it was missing… not sauce.. eggs.
That was not a steakhouse steak, not the cut or the age of the meat or the thickness, sides that would traditionally go with a cut of beef… aren’t there.
This was a management status box check
, The kitchen managed it. But it’s not a dinner, steak.
However if that had been on the Brunch menu, which it’s NOT?? With 2 eggs, with a little salt, cracked pepper, some sage potato weges., it would have been 5 out of 5. It was perfect for that. I emplore the kitchen to try it as such. And please respond if im wrong.. a little seasonally inspired potato hash, come on.
Take away:
Solid bar with sandwiches.
Recommendations:
Add steak and eggs to your brunch menu instantly, you won’t reget it, and that Bunch menu lacks a heavy protein dish anyway.
Add caraway seeds to your coleslaw it was boring and needed to be kept overnight to develop.
Otherwise, everything was solid but could be more.
Thank you for an enjoyable dinner.
It might sound as if i’m long-winded, but it took you a long time to prepare my meal…
When I write a review and as someone that understands the effort thay went into it.
I feel you deserve extended feedback. For better or for worse.

I really wanted to report good things about this place, however there is not much positive to say. My positives will be brief. The waiter was nice and gave a good effort to ensure everyone in our party could eat, we had one guest that needs gluten free with vegetarian food, hard to come by as it is and he made a good effort to satisfy these needs. We made reservations at 745, got a seat at 750 and waited until 815 till the waiter even acknowledged us, finally got waters at 830 and food came out around 920. That’s right 20 minutes after they officially closed for the day. The beet burger was good but not good enough for this wait. Our kids got their meals at around 9 and were already done before we had even started our meal. Service is slower than molasses and food is just ok. I won’t be back and definitely wouldn’t recommend to anyone expecting to eat in a timely fashion. However if you like slow but charming service this is your jam! Enjoy or not, it’s totally up to you.

Food was delicious and all of it sounded very appealing. It was a though decision on what to get. But we decided on the pork loin and the pulled pork sandwich. But the watermelon chicken tacos sounded good. May have to make a return visit to try them. The prices very very reasonable. The men’s bathroom was halarious with the keg and sign saying about rented berry return. Would recommend stopping if in the area.

The few times we’ve been there the service has been slow but the servers are friendly and make you feel welcome. We’ve enjoyed all the food we’ve gotten!
This time I got the watermelon chicken tacos and one of the summer cocktails, my boyfriend got the pb&j burger (definitely worth a try!), and bruschetta to share.
If you’re looking for a laid-back environment with good food and kind people, this is the place!

As Knoebels is known for its food as much as its coasters and rides, we had planned to eat somewhere in the park. However, we were having so much fun riding the coasters and rides at Knoebels, we never got a chance to eat at one of their in-park restaurants before the park closed. Fortunately, Knoebels’s out-of-park restaurant, Nickel Plate, was still open, so we went over there. This is at their golf course slightly west of the park, and has a golf atmosphere, which is relaxing coming from the amusement park. We started with the Pretzel Rails and Beer Cheese, which we enjoyed. I had the Jam Burger, while my brother had the Mac Du Jour special. We both enjoyed our meals, and I got so many fries, I had enough for the morning.

The food was reasonably priced and well prepared. A small space, but a table was available for us when we arrived at about 5:30. By the time we left, the place was packed even though there was a Southern Columbia Area High School Football home playoff tonight. The waitress was good and a manager even stopped by to check on us. This was our first time eating here and we will definitely stop by again.

The food here has made me sick every time. I ate here once about 6 years ago, I got a burger and fries, and got extremely sick. Like, sorry for the TMI, but literally threw up all over my friend’s couch and then multiple times afterwards. I finally decided to try it again today, I got a chicken sandwich, and once again, I am sick. Not as bad as the last time but still unwell. I have never gotten sick at any other restaurant multiple times or as bad as I did here, so I genuinely don’t know how this place gets me sick every time. Their service is good, and the restaurant itself is nice, but I will not be risking ordering here again.

We were on an outing at Knoebels with the pup over the weekend. We were looking for somewhere that was dog friendly to grab some food on the way home. After searching around, we came upon here. They have a large outdoor seating section which is covered from the elements. After we sat down, we were greeted by our very friendly server Kiersten. She grabbed drink orders and was super accommodating to our pup. Bringing her a water dish and bowl of lettuce (her fav treat.) We placed our app order of Pretzels w/Cheese. It was good as expected and came out fast! We looked over the menu and decided to go with the Mexican Power Bowl and the PB&J Burger w/ a side salad. To say the food was just good would be an understatement. Our meals were packed with all around flavor and were very filling! I highly recommend getting the Burger, it may not be the your “average” toppings but it is delicious!! In conclusion, I highly recommend checking this place out. The staff is super friendly, attentive and the food is tasty and affordable!
