First off, this is probably not a very fair review because I haven't eaten here lately where I ordered off of the menu, that's why I went with 2 stars instead of 0 or 1. This visit was on Mother's Day and they only offered a buffet. I brought my dad here and thought we'd give their buffet a try, even though it was (in my opinion) very expensive. Our waitress was incredible and very attentive but that's where the "positives" stop. The restaurant was only half full at best and half of the buffet options were empty. What was there was cold. I chalked it up to timing, so I waited 15-20 minutes then went back for more only to see the same thing. My dad ended up eating the "kids food" which was mini corn dogs and chicken strips, he took one bite of all the other food and shoved the rest aside. He was not interested in giving it a second try. We ended up paying just short of $100 for 2 very subpar breakfasts.... then going to eat somewhere else. Could I have complained and gotten money back...maybe but with it being a buffet, I couldn't bring myself to complain to the poor server that was already doing her best to keep up. I might go back here again sometime but it won't be in the near future, and definitely won't be for a buffet!

Heard great thing about Machine Shed so my wife and I went for dinner. Took a while for the server to take our order. My brisket sandwich tastes like bbq sauce. The meat itself did not have much flavor. My wife had the pork tenderloin sandwich. She said it needed seasoning since it was bland. The coffee was good. One star mostly the service. Server came to out table with the check and quickly said we can pay up front. Then went to serve the other table with a smile.

Great place for home-style meals! They accommodated us for a party of over twenty with no problem.

Great service! The apples were amazing with the biscuits. French onion soup was amazing, and the cheese is just right in terms of flavor. Onion shoe strings a little salty, but good with sauce. The brisket sandwhich was good, and very meat heavy. Which let the flavor sink in. The working man's breakfast was really good and the price for amount of food was perfect.

Why did they change their biscuits and gravy? It was perfect before and now the gravy is darker and tastes sweet. This used to be my favorite breakfast place... Now I have to find somewhere else. 😢
