I'm not really an Applebee's kind of person. I usually avoid chains like this that do everything OK but nothing particularly well. Actually I had a decent burger with onion rings. Kids liked their food. It's got a very friendly feeling to it and service was good.

We went here for my birthday and really enjoyed it. Our waiter was so friendly and pleasant to talk with. The food was delish, but.....not.........quite what I had just experienced in Ireland weeks before. It is understandable, since it isn't in Ireland. But,one thing I didn't see on the menu was soda bread. So much of that went into my tummy in Ireland and I fell in love with it! It seems a shame that they don't have that. But what they do have is amazing. I ordered the Crab Cake Sandwich and it can't be beat! My husband had clam chowder and the Baby Back Ribs. He loved them both. The atmosphere there is fantastic. It appears that they already have a very loyal crowd of happy, friendly customers who frequent both the dining area and the bar area. Lot's of laughter and conversation going on, but nothing rude or obnoxious. We will definitely go back. Who knows; maybe they will add soda bread to the menu by then.

We stayed up the street for 10 days and our family recommended this place for dinner and first time was so good we came back a second time. Wide variety of food and surprisingly it was all good. We had everything from lasagna to pizza to wings, everything tastes great, prices were what I expected, and for most part staff was very good. Both times our waitresses were great, but the second trip my wife and I decided to stay and move into the bar area for a drink, and it seemed to us they were more interested in getting prepared to close in 3 hours than help us, so we had a drink and left, not that big a deal, just seemed noticeable. And unfortunately after 2 very good meals, that's what sticks with us. We will probably try again next trip, see you then.

Came here years ago. They are now under new management and this place is great. Had the chicken tender platter and it was the best tenders Iâve ever tasted. Homemade chips were delicious. My wife had a salad and I sampled the homemade croutons, wow awesome. Great service as well. Iâm coming back.

We try to support local restaurants ( which are not chains) in our area. This one fits that bill. It is ok. The steak is good, coked to order , the soups are typically very good, so are their nachos. otherwise , it is your typical ok eatery . Their bar seems to get the most business ( apps and drinks are what My Place is known for ). They actually used to bring in local talent on weekends to draw a larger crowd and it worked for a while. Vintage car shows in the adjacent lots frequent here for the ease. There are other local areas with better sandwiches and deserts. If you sit anywhere near the bar entrance it is WAY TOO LOUD especially on the weekends.Thank you for your review. Our Sunday Breakfast is REALLY Popular as is our 6 for 6$ Weekday Lunch Specials & Certified Angus Beef Burgers & Steaks. We are Community Spirited. ($50,000 collected for a Handicap Accessible Van) We have a capacity of 271. We are known for our Events like Shag n Line Dancing, Class Reunions, Birthday, Graduation, Anniversary Parties, Baby Showers, Car Shows and we actually had a Wedding where our Dining-room was transformed in to a beautiful Chapel.

We`ve eaten here about seven times now, and the Gatehouse has made it to regular rotation. I must blame the fried buffaloe chicken sandwich! Always a quality piece of breast meat with outstanding crunch. The nachos are good too. The wait staff is excellent and attentive. Good draft beers!

Great beer. I like the Scottish Ale the most even though I usually prefer lighter beer. Low-key feel. Lots of events. Not too big, not too small.
