I take my grandchildren there when they come to town. There is no smoking in the casino so there is none in the restaurant. They have good homestyle cooking and a special icecream tray for the kids

We stopped in here on the recommendation of a friend and were not disappointed. Prices were reasonable, portions were large, and everyone was very friendly. It has a quaint atmosphere, similar to a Cracker Barrel I suppose. There really isn't much I can add to the previous reviews, but to say that it is a good family-style diner and that... More

Property and restaurant were clean. Hostess was friendly and helpful. Server was professional and knew the menu well. Food was well seasoned and well cooked. Portions are generous. We shared the entree and still took food home. Child's menu is very good. We ordered Tri Tip Dinner. We also loved the juke box which plays for free. We will come... More

Good wholesome food, not too expensive; and great homemade pastries. Friendly and speedy service. Homey place where you don't feel rushed to get out. In walking distance to the Western Village Inn.

These Bear pads are the place to eat. Go hungry or be prepared to carry it home. The service here is always fast and very friendly. The bear theme is excellent and entertaining (in ALL BBD's). We stop in at least once on our way thru the area for breakfast or lunch. The menu is huge, if you cannot find... More

The food is just all around good old fashioned American home cooking. I was torn between the meatloaf and the chicken pot pie. Went with the pie and was happy. Then to top it off they have the cutest individual pies you can eat there or take home. They are practically a meal unto themselves. We tried the apple, berry... More
