Zukey Lake Tavern

Great food and also good staff

I wish I can give this place 0 stars to be honest.

1: the service was not so great, she was very unfriendly, as if she didnt want to be there or be bothered by anyone and only one person in our party asked for a refill on pop one time.  The pop was disgusting, all flat and tasteless and out of all the 6 adults in our group, they all said the same. pop was not so great.  The food most of us got was pretty good except the plate we ordered for our 1 yr old. his fries tasted like they were sitting there for a day or 2 and then served to him.. we didnt let him eat any more after we tasted how crappy they were.  Now on to the big reason I have issues with this place...

This may sound bit silly to some and think I am griping over something small.. yes it is small but in the end its the principle of it and the whole thing is just wrong!. here is the story. We went to eat lunch there for my friends mothers birthday and my husband and I brought her a balloon with chocolate tied securely to the end of it. We left and got into the parking lot and realized the balloon was left so we went right back for it.  Just minutes after leaving and going right back in they brought back the balloon but the chocolate was missing at the end of the balloon, they CLAIMED the bus person threw it away.. um yeah right.. so I went back out to the parking lot, got in the car and left feeling bit un easy about the situation because I thought it was a bit fishy that the chocolate would get tossed but not the balloon... why would someone un tie chocolate from a balloon and toss it? right after customers leave... mind you we were still in parking lot. So anyway I called the manager from outside because I am not one for making scenes or confrontation.. manager thought it was a whole laughing joke and was far from helpful although he didnt believe me until he checked his video.. turned out the chocolate was stolen and EATEN in that short of time by the waitress of our table. she claimed to the manager she thought it was a tip... it obviously was not left as a tip because it was tied to a happy birthday balloon which clearly did not belong to her! AND the fact that when we went back in for the balloon right after they LIED to us saying it was thrown away but the girls telling us that were very rude about it. NO sorry what so ever from the manager. This is not a good way to do business.. I dont care if it was a small thing they stole and lied about.. it is the principle of the matter and should not have been done!!!  I will make sure to spread the word of this place.. they do not deserve business. ride employess.. rude manager. all together not a good way to do business.. the manager could have at least offered an apology but instead I was laughed at. I am not one to complain much but when someone steals something then lies about it that is just wrong no matter what it was. I can understand if we left for hrs and they ate it.. fine but we just left and went right back in for it.. should have still been attached to the balloon.   I will not go some place and give them business when the manager there clearly does not care about his customers and where the employees are all so down and out and do not act like they want to be there and steal and lie.. no thanks!!!

Please do the community a favor by NOT supporting this business. there are plenty of other places to eat.

We came here with a bunch of friends for the Sunday morning brunch.  $7.95 breakfast buffet and kids under 5 are free (except for their juice/milk)!  Can't say too much about the service since it was a buffet, but our plates got cleared in a timely manner and our drinks were always fresh.

The food itself was alright, nothing special.  There was lots of greasy, heart attack food, bacon, potatoes, french toast, biscuits and gravy, breakfast pizza.  There were also eggs but I can't bring myself to eat those bulk made eggs sitting under the heating lamps.  There were some pastries and cold cereal there as well.

The one shining light of the breakfast was a) the alcohol, and b) there was an omelette station in the back that didn't have egg whites but was able to do eggbeaters.  Some healthy oasis in the desert!
