Good food, fair prices, but don't bother making a reservation. Â I just ate there for the first time and upon entering, my family and I discovered our reservation for six was completely lost. The hostess was VERY rude. She did not apologize for the mistake or anything. Besides that we had a great meal. Our waitress was very friendly and did a great job serving our drinks and checking up on us regularly. The food was hot and very tasty. Clearly everything was homemade as advertised. The pie is a must try.
Review Source:I've eaten here and been blown away. I've eaten here and been disappointed. I've been here a probably half a dozen or so times over the years and it's always hit or miss. It's simple food: Amish-style, as they advertise it.
It's worth checking out for the experience along though. The restaurant, which is the old Eagle Hotel and has the should-be-more-famous bronze statue of George Washington in his British uniform, oozes with its rich history.
Seriously, check it out. Grab a bite, walk around the building, then take a walk through Waterford, which is a nice little town. Even if the food won't blow you away, you'll enjoy the experience.
The building this is in must be over 200 years old, it feels and smells like it. I'm a commonweath son so I feel at home with this type of setting. All of food is made in the kitchen, none of it is processed. Now the person that reviewed &complained about metal pieces in the sweet potatoes that could have happened but that was not my experience.
I ordered the mashed potatoes and the roast beef it arrived with apple sauce. Lets talk about the apple sauce, its was REAL! Not from a can or jar, It was not sweet from mother nature and not from having sugar added to it, it was smashed up apples. It was fresh and wonderful. My kids tried it and I almost had to beat them off with a stick so I could have some. I ordered more for them. The roast beef was not salted and thats a good thing, I really dislike the need to over salt food to the point where if you don't remember to take your rings off you will lose your fingers from the swelling the salt causes. Remember you can always add salt that is sitting on the table.
Homemade beef barley soup, my daughter whom is 7 is a soup snob, I make a lot of homemade soup with our pressure cooker and she won't eat canned soup as shes told me "Daddy!, that tastes like crap!". She ate all of her soup and said, "they know soup here" as she was cleaning it up with the last of the table bread. Now my daughter is tall for 7 and has taken dance from the time she was 3 so she understands food and what you put in your body is what you get out.
My son had the apple sauce, potatoes and chicken in that order and fell asleep after the potatoes and hes 4, nothing as cute as a 4 year old sleep in a old chair from too much good food.
Understand, this place stays open because the local people eat here and they do that alot. The people next to me seeing my son asleep asked me how often I come here and I said this is my first time. They said they come here twice a week and drive 20 miles to do that and proceeded to tell me what is really good on the menu. People reading this review, quality not quantity! This is quality homemade food, wake up and remember what eating good from a place where they are not wearing uniforms and there isn't a "Mcfood" in the name. You only get to live once, make the effort to eat someplace that you can remember the name. I will return with my dollars and daughter so she can have more of the soup.
Good Night and Good Luck.
