Moose's Tavern

I'm on the road quite a bit and fortunately or unfortunately have the opportunity to sample many restaurants. Traveling with a party of one always leads to interesting adventure. I read the reviews on Yelp and had to sample it for myself. I'm a sucker for a full salad bar, especially one rated so high by even the toughest critics. I entered the restaurant through the winding labyrinth to be greeting by smiling faces. I set the rules early and requested a "table for one" not near the swinging of kitchen doors nor the charm of toilet. It was shocking to the staff that anyone would be seated in such terrible locations. Wait staff was absolutely wonderful and accommodating. I'm on a strict diet and my requests rattled from me. Candace, my interface with the cooks was spot on with her assistance and tending to my food requests. The steak was exactly as ordered and the salad bar exceeded my expectations. The salad bar was fresh and plentiful. I was also impressed that the owner/manager was very visible in the dining room. This is a sign of caring.

In these times of chain, cookie cutter places its refreshing to order what you want and get charged a reasonable fare.  

I will be returning.

Been to Mosses Traven 4 times don't waste your hard earned money on this place. The 1st time I ordered the kings choice med rare and it came in med well done with frozen side dishes, the 2nd visit I ordered the BBQ shrimp over pasta. Ended up getting baby size shrimp swimming in the pasta sauce.
The 3rd visit I ordered a sirloin steak med rare and my wife order a simple chicken dish well my wife got served 1st with an over cook potato and an uncooked chicken so that had to go back. We waited for the waiter to redeliver our plates. 15 minutes pass by when they brought my wife her dinner and I waited for my dish. I sat their watching my wife eat when I asked the waiter where my dish is.  When my steak dinner finally came out it was over cooked to the point I couldn't even cut the steak.  By this point I was fed up so I sent it back and ordered a plain hamburger with fries. The burger came in very dry with a bun that you could tell was old and the fries were overdone. It's very clear that whoever is in the kitchen can't cook!!!
My advice for this place is don't bother, MJs across the street has better food and a nicer staff.

Service at Moose's was excellent.....the salad bar was very good.....potato salad, etc. was all fresh....an improvement on salad bar is the prepackaged lettuce could be replaced with freshly torn lettuce.....also, there was no Russian or thousand island dressing and the dressings could be labeled......my strip steak was tender and juicy and cooked correctly as was my dinner partners steak....the baked potatoes were good as were the accompanying garlicky green beans.....
the two kids ate all of their chicken fingers and really liked them....ice cream was included with the kids meal and they were invited to decorate it with whipped cream, syrup and cherries which was a nice touch.....I had raspberry iced tea which was delicious but I had to request more ice as it was not cold enough.......all in all, it was a very pleasant dining experience.....
