We stopped for lunch and the smorgasboard that day included sausages and kraut, roast beef, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and more including salad with fixins. A plus for me was the marshmallow salads, which reminded me of family gatherings. The one had apples and nuts and the other one had coconut, mandarin oranges and pineapple. Yum!
There were also a few dessert options, and the peanut butter fudge thing was great.
The decor was a bit sparse but service was friendly and the lunch buffet was $7.75, which did not include drink.
It's a buffet. but you can also order from a menu. Â The lunch buffet actually looked good (especially the salad bar), but we opted for breakfast. Â Be warned: Â breakfast is whisked away at 10:30 on the dot, even on weekends, and boy do they make sure you know that. Â It's a typical breakfast bar: Â overcooked scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage (the patties were pretty good), biscuits and extremely bland gravy. Â The service was extremely friendly.
Review Source:Chambers is certainly nothing fancy, but it's a buffet stocked with some pretty good home cookin'! Â The prices are more than reasonable, and everyone in my large party seemed pleased. Â I'm a somewhat picky eater when it comes to a normal, midwestern family spread (see also: I'm not really into mayonnaise based foods), but I enjoyed the chicken strips, salad bar (plenty of fresh veggies and the staff was almost anal about keeping it clean and stocked), mashed potatoes, cornbread, and green beans. Â The pineapple upside down cake was also excellent.
Review Source:Being an extreme city-slicker and horrified of anything south of Chicago, I have to say that even though I had the worst expectations, I was still taken aback by the food here.
Bland, flavorless, and near to frightening is how I'd describe my omelet. I thought at first they had melted a Barbie arm or something to hold it all together, but then I realized it was in fact American cheese. The last time I saw American cheese in a restaurant, I was 5 years old. Really? Are there no cows in Indiana?
Considering the slim options near McCormack Creek State Park, you're probably better off having a Slim Jim and a cheese stick from the nearest gas station.
The homemade apple butter is the only thing keeping this from a 1 star.
