Heartbreak Hotel Inc

Yes, this establishment has a "local crowd" but the staff is more than welcoming to see a new face. They were more than attentive while my fiancé and I sat at bar waiting for take out. I got the "heartbreak steak & cheese" and it came with homemade French fries, fresh roll with real steak, onions peppers with gooey cheddar. It was a delicious treat with a few cold beers. My fiancé ordered penne ala vodka with a meatball. My Italian fiancé approved the meal with two big thumbs up! Great place to pop in while going for a scenic fall ride through the quaint town of Jefferson.  True hidden jewel!

You've got to know what kind of place you are walking into when it comes to the Heartbreak.  As long as you've had your tetnus shots, you should be ok.  Just kidding.

According to local legend (ie, my dad), the place has changed hands more than a few times since HE has lived in the area.  I think the current owners have it right, though.  A well stocked bar, solid favorite foods with a few surprises and friendly, competent service.  Don't change a thing.  

We went on a Saturday night and had the prime rib special, which was fantastic.  The sweet potato fries were spot on, the salad fresh, and the wine delicious.  Our waiter was on top of everything, we had no qualms.  Dad paid for dinner since apparently my money is no good in your town - that's his smartass way of picking up the bill every time we visit - so I can't tell you how much the final bill was.  But it seemed reasonable on the menu/specials board.

He goes regularly, and you know those seniors don't waste their money on bad food nor put up with horrible service.  So if he were on Yelp I think he'd give it four stars too. :)

Heartbreak hotel has two entrances, right door leads to the bar and the left leads to the actual restaurant.  Going to the restaurant, just sit down, as there is no host.  The atmosphere is a little cheesy and seats are uncomfortable.  The food was very good. As a party of four we had several different samplings from the menu. Steak, chicken and lobster, (which was a weekend special). The steak was cooked perfectly and very juicy. The mashed potatoes were very creamy and buttery and the fries were up to par.  The service was friendly and attentive, but having to travel 500 feet and through the bar just to get to the mens room is quite annoying and inappropriate for young children
