This reminds me of traditional Pennsylvania Dutch restaurants in Lancaster PA. There is a set menu, and everything is served family style at your table. The only choices are your beverage, which relishes to try before the meal is served (ask for the corn relish!), whether to add roast beef, and dessert. If you like traditional American food, this is great. The food is all very good and the portions are generous. The server was very friendly and talked with everyone in the room about how things are going in Calhoun County (no peaches this year because of a cold snap). At lunchtime on a weekday, the restaurant wasn’t crowded so we had a table to ourselves. The hotel is no longer operating, but the common rooms have an interesting collection of, well, collectibles. Bonuses: the area is lovely, there are farm markets to explore, and you’ll likely take a ferry to get here.

We have been dining here since 1968. This year we went to celebrate my parents 66 wedding anniversary. The food is always delicious and well prepared. The bartender at our last visit 11/15/25 went beyond her role. I asked for a cocktail that included lemonade. At first she told me they didn’t have any and the next thing I know she not only had my drink in front of me with fresh made lemonade. It was delicious and mom loved it also. Can’t wait to go back.

We’ve been coming here for years and enjoy our meal every time. The building is so unique and nostalgic. The entire staff are warm and welcoming. The food is the best part of the experience. Everything is served family style and all of the dishes are delicious! The sausage they serve before the meal is sooo good! The applesauce homemade and coleslaw is also fantastic. On to the main dishes…wow! Fried chicken, roast beef, chicken and dumplings, potatoes and vegetables. It’s a wonderful meal! Of note, they are cash only.

This place is a hidden gem! Home style cooking. Apple sauce, relish tray, fried chicken, green beans, corn, and homemade sausage are all 12/10 good! Set inside a historic hotel, the restaurant and bar are like taking a stroll through American history. Highly recommend to everyone!

This is definitely a hidden gem. Step back into time and immerse yourself into a fun experience. Dinner is served family style and refills of whatever you choose will be brought right out. Food was so good and the waitresses were so engaging. (Note this is a cash, check only or you wash dishes when done. No plastic card accepted at all.) Go out of your way to find this place!!!

We had lunch here and it was so wonderful. First, you walk into this historic building (Register of Historic Places in US), and friendly staff greet & usher us into a dining room with lace tablecloths. Warm rolls and a relish tray comes right away (thank God cause we were starving… 🙂
Then comes an array of comfort food. Family style mashed taters, corn, etc and some scrumptious chicken. We don’t eat pork or beef, thus we declined the sausages that are part of the “relish tray/rolls” presentation.
Highly recommend this place. AND – bring cash (or check) but no credit card. An ATM across the street, which we dashed to. It was the ATM or wash dishes! Haha..
Note that my pix of corn, etc, was after we’d taken a bit onto our plates. They ask if you want more of anything, everything.

Every time I visit my folks, I have the need to come back here! There is something very charming about this place.
It is a family style dinner, so all the food comes out to share amongst each other.
Their peach & strawberry daiquari’s are phenomenal!

I don’t even know where to begin?! I’m a foodie and a history buff and this was absolute heaven for me! I surprised my kids with an adventure to the ferry, roadtrip out to middle of nowhere to this amazing 5th generation owned historic restaurant. You’re immediately overwhelmed with antiques, original woodwork and old world charm.
As someone who works in the restaurant industry the food was above average, the establishment is very clean (including the kitchen), has a spotless bathroom and stellar customer service. The aesthetic is something to be appreciated by just about anyone including two teenagers who are impressed by very little. It’s an experience that I will be sharing with more people very soon! Thank you Whittmond, we can’t wait to go back!!!

Excellent food served family style. The slaw and corn relish were stand outs! We got the optional roast beef with the other offers that was very tender and served with flavorful pan dripping gravy. Chicken was well done with a crunchy flour coating. Plenty of food is served, but save room for some cobbler and ice cream for dessert!
