Feels like an older hotel situated in the heart of downtown Chariton, Ia. Seated quickly and our server Payton was right on cue getting drink orders. I had the bacon mac and cheese with chicken added and she had the Carolina burger. Everything came out quickly and cooked very well. Mac n cheese sauce was very creamy and chix was nice and tender. Wife’s burger was very well presented. I must say they did a great job in the kitchen. Food was extremely delicious and plentiful. Payton was an awesome server taking our order, checking back, and closing our bill. I would love to come back and try a different dish.

First time here last night and it was amazing. Great service and yummy food and my beverage was delicious. I’d 1million% go back. The restaurant is in an old historical building across from another awesome place, Pipers Candy.

Nice restaurant but the steak was cooked well, but lacked any flavor. Other items we had were fine. It is a bit overpriced for the quality and atmosphere.
