First night here. $10 for 10 wings during Bills and Sabres games. Good size wings. Pleasant staff! Quaint Come on out.
We had reservations for 530 and we didnt get our food until after 705,? And order a mini sea food and got a fish fry .
Ordered seafood broiled platter..it was terrible .nothing was seasoned the shrimp and scallops tasted boiled and the fish was dry..by far the worst food I have ever eaten..so disappointing
Went after a nice family getaway to get some food and the food was HORRIBLE!!! Overly priced. The dishes were dirty! And to top it off when asked how the food was I was honest so maybe it could be fixed the server started yelling at me with my kids and my niece and nephew right there told me I was rude for not leaving a tip. I explained it was an unexpected stop and I just paid 100 dollars for 6 meals sad when 4 were kids meals. Then she proceeded to follow me around and called us slobs and wasnt thought any respect because my 1 year old son and 7 month old son got food on the floor. Im sorry but in my opinion they were very unprofessional and rude would never recommend to anyone!!!!!!!
Dinner for myself n wife. One cocktail 🍸🍺 apiece. The food was excellent.Hot turkey sandwich for my wife. I had broiled shrimp 🍤 n scallops.A very extensive menu, prices $$$ out of 5.4 stars bc a 3% service charge for using a CCard!😠😳🥴
Food was amazing (well what we got to have) BUT horrible experience. Got there around 5:20 got sat immediately. We have never been there before and wanted to give it a try. Ordered 2 cups of soup and asked server to come back to get our order. We got our soup and finished them before she came back (about 20 mins) then we ordered poppers and a mini fish to share. Poppers came. 6:30 now and we still don’t have the mini fish. At this point we were tired of waiting and I asked for a box because I had to leave. She got the check and the fish was still on it. I asked the bus boy to get our server and told her that we didn’t want the mini fish. She grabbed the check right out of my hand rudely to take the fish off. Spent almost 2 hours by the time this was done and only had soup and poppers. FYI we also didn’t have a set server they kept alternating.
Good food, good service and good prices.
Food was decent as well as prices. Alcohol prices seemed decent too. Quiet due to it being Tuesday night. Overall appeared to be a solid place to go.
I was the DD for a few friends for an after work relaxation hour(s). The place is a nice rustic 1970s/1950s (but modernized feel to it. The Staff was helpful and friendly. The drinks well made. I plan on visiting here for a nice dinner later this year.
Very poor service. Food was substandard pricey for service and food quality
Had reservations for 7pm. Was finally offered the option to sit at the game table, an hour later. Waitress took our order at 8:15, from the game table. At 9:15 we left, without ever being served. I asked the chubby waitress with glasses why they took reservations and she was just rude to me.Dont know how good the food is there. Waiting over an hour, after our reservation time to be seated is unacceptable. If you cant seat people within a reasonable time you shouldnt take reservations.On top of that, for the waitress to be rude about a 2 hour wait WITH RESERVATIONS is unacceptable.I will never recommend this place and will never return.
Great food at a great price. Great variety of food options to choose from. Friendly service.
3 of us visited on a Friday night. We had reservations for 7pm. We arrived at 6:40pm and checked in. The bar area was packed, and most of the tables were full.We ordered drinks at the bar while we waited. At 7:15pm we checked in again and said it would be about 15 minutes. We ordered another round of drinks and played some pool and puck bowling. At 8pm, we checked again, and were told a few minutes. We ordered another round of drinks and chatted it up with another couple, who also has 7pm reservations and had not been seated yet. At 8:48pm we were finally seated in the dining room. We were never apologized to for the wait or offered anything to compensate us.It appeared as if there were only 2 waitresses for the entire place, which included 2 different dining rooms. At this point, we were starving. Im not sure if the food we ordered tasted so great because we were so hungry, or because of the quality.We had also called ahead to see if we could use the gift certificates were had, and were told yes over the phone, when we made the reservation. In the menu it stated that you couldnt use gift certificates for certain food items.I gave it 2 stars because the food was good and there were things to do while we waited.
The owners never fail to ensure you have a delicious meal and good service. Aldens hidden gem!
Absolute surprise when you walk into what looks from the outside a quiet pub but is actually set up like a classic fine dining experience inside. Food is delicious and in large portions. Also an extensive menu.
Great selection. Menu is very extensive. Always have leftovers. Also listing in Entertainment book makes a better deal. We always take friends there even tho it is 25 miles away. Love the shrimp on a stick and the strawberry with puff pastry for dessert.
Great place for great food that you simply cant find anywhere else.
Have wanted to go here for awhile, we got right in no wait, we ordered food which took forever to get, I finally asked the waitress and she told me well you ordered the shrimp and it was frozen and had to be defrosted?? Really tacky, my husband ordered chicken parm which he ate 1/2 of and no more he said it tasted funny, hopefully he wont get sick, my shrimp was 6 shrimp and they were supposed to be casino, they took the casino mix and just threw it on top of the shrimp,and for 26.95 not impressed! We will not be back!
Have never been disappointed with the food. Great service and atmosphere. Menu choices are second to none.
First time their the menu is the largest Ive ever seen. The food is great along with the service. Our server is the best I ever meant. We will be back well bring more friends...Love it there
Hidden gem. Home cooking at its best. Drinks, food and service are all top notch.
We rode snowmobiles there. Such amazing food. Hardest part was making up my mind with all the awesome choices. Our bartender was super awesome too. This will be a destination ride from now on for our group.
Great food friendly staff
Nice place to eat...all the staff are polite and pleasant. Ate their 4 times within the last month and enjoyed it.
Service was very poor.We waited a hour and a half for our min fish fry which mine was so bad I couldnt even eat it.I will not want a fish fry for awhile now And the New England clam chowder soup wasnt as good as it always is.I dont think that we will be coming back for awhile now.
3% added on for credit card use1hr45 min wait and very slow service at bar and in restaurantDefinitely not 6ft social distanceBar was packed w no separationFood was good
It was very enjoyable to sit at the bar have a drink and go eat dinner a little bit of a wait but it was worth it. We will go back food was excellent
Great atmosphere, food is fantastic and the staff are very friendly. Great place to go! Highly recommend!
Came here for a date as well as checking out the local bar scene on two separate occasions, and was met with great service and atmosphere both times. EXCELLENT diversity on their menu and made sure everything was to your standards. Exceptiional bar staff who made you feel welcome and knew what they were doing. Highly recommend if youre looking for a small place with reason to come back.
Service is incredibly slow. Food is just so-so. The only truly good experience Ive ever had here was a banquet-style funeral breakfast-- they did a good job with that, at least.
For such a large menu you would think they would have more vegetarian options. I order the same couple items over and over. But the service is awesome. Staff is friendly and the food is good.
I had the haddock. The portion was large and delicious, so good in fact I forced myself to finish it. The side dishes were homemade and also really good. (I made them disappear too). The only drawback was that I was so full when I got home I fell asleep.
Huge menu, great service, fairly priced delicious food that was served in a timely manner. Worth the visit, save your money, skip the overpriced park food and get good food thats less than ten minutes away.
Great food, prices, service. Family owned and run. Very nice wait staff.
Food is outstanding as well as the service!! Family-run business that is right on the mark!! Cozy atmosphere and delicious food with a terrific variety to choose from! Beer selection is a plus as well!!
Good, not great. But, I wasnt that hungry.The menu is HUGE! Almost too much to look at.Service could have been faster. There wasnt a big crowd but it took awhile.
The food is always amazing and the staff is always so nice. Thank you for making me feel like I am right at home when I come to your restaurant.
Bartender was friendly and provided great service!! Good atmosphere. Very clean.
Worst prime rib Ive had. Over half of it I was unable to chew. The rest was grizzly like being freezer burned. The bread I guarantee was frozen and flash baked, chewy and hard on the outside. Instant potatoes with maybe one half spoon of real potato. Way to much on the menu for anything to be fresh. Dim lighting is ok if you print in a larger font and not on cream colored stock. Outdated overdue interior and loud music. Last but not least we heard the dog barking in the kitchen. Sad that we went, lesson learned. Priced to high for a place like that. Lol almost forgot about the bug zapper in the middle of the dinning room.
Good food. Reasonable prices. Huge selection on menu. I mean huge. Never saw a small restaurant with this much variety on the menu. Oh, by the way, the pierogis are top notch. Tasty yum yum. Get the cheese pierogi with fried onion.
The old-time games keep my kids busy as we wait for our food. Extremely comfortable and cozy environment. Cant believe the menu its huge!
Excellent food, friendly and attentive staff, reasonably priced and wide variety of food choices.
Menu is HUGE. Never had a bad meal there. One of our favorite restaurants
The food was very good, the portions were generous. Family oriented business, dont be afraid to ask for Dessert Greg to serve you up a delicious piece of pie!
I agree with kevin! I dont think they care....first we waited to be seated (only three tables with customers)... a couple came in after us..then they seated us all... we got r drinks ,place are orders... now the wait was on! Ten minutes want by (waiting for salads) I look over at the couple that came after us, and there eating a salad.. so we still sitting waiting...finally 10 mins. Later ,I ask the waitress if we were going to get are salads! Her reply was ,its will be out in min. (REALLY! ) S o are salad comes out along with the other couples dinner...Now, were waiting for r dinner...wait wait wait (21 mins later) Oh, by the way. The other couple left...Were the only ones in the place! Surf and turf we order....Ok Im done,not going any further! ! They need to find a good cook and waitresses that care! Steak not are way and lobster well done...not comming back!
Very clean and homey. Love the fireplace and the fish tank. Good food friendly staff. Will definitely go back again

2022-06-17I tried the restaurant for my first time on a Friday. Naturally, I wanted to try their fish fry. I was not disappointed, my fish fry might of been the best one I have ever had! I had to ask the owner what his secret was. He was present and working, making sure that the quality was Sky hi. He told me what his secret was, I will leave it to the readers to go and find out for for themselves.

2022-06-11Celebrated my cousin’s birthday at Countryside Inn this evening. We Enjoyed the Ribeye steak, Coconut shrimp and Polish platter. Our dinners were excellent, and although it was very busy, the service was also excellent. Can’t wait to come back again soon. Love this place.

2022-06-02Last Friday, May 27....SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE! From the moment my friend & I walked in, we were treated like we were in the way and a bother! Big huff & sigh when I answered No to question if we had reservations. (Restaurant seemed empty with several tables available.) After waiting about 20 minutes, finally seated & then IT TOOK OVER AN HOUR TO GET OUR FOOD! Waitress (short, chubby woman with glasses and tight khaki pants) again was annoyed when we asked for to-go containers, which never came and I had to ask bartender for some after waiting another 20 mins!). When waitress asked if she could take away my salad plate and I said I was still eating it, she stormed off shouting, I WAS JUST ASKING!Heres a TIP......HIRE WAITRESSES WITH PERSONALITY & PEOPLE SKILLS!Ill never dine here again!!

2022-04-11Ribeye was a little more done than I prefer. I ordered a medium rare and it was more medium than on the rare side but, all in all, service was excellent, all sides were good, and the timing was really fast considering all the various choices to pick from, it took me forever to choose what I wanted!!! AWESOME SERVICE, ALL THE WAIT STAFF WERE FUN, KIND, AND CONSIDERANT ♡♡♡ (With me being disabled, some people can be quite a challenge when the patience and kindness come in to play, NOT AT GDI !!!!) THEY ALL TOOK EVERYTHING IN STRIDE AND MADE ME FEEL CARED FOR. (IF NOT SO WORN OUT, I BELIEVE I COULD HAVE STAYED LONGER😉!)
