    This place is great! Cheap food, good eats, and nearby!

    We stopped by tonight because we wanted comfort food and Knowlwood provided us with an awesome dinner.

    We loved the prices of everything and it was definitely cheaper than Denny's next door. Our dinner included of one country fried steak and eggs, chili cheese dog, and Irish nachos and a drink for a little over $23!

    Totally delicious when you're having a bad day and craving comfort food! I highly recommend!

    First and last time to go.
    When we ordered I told the cashier I was allergic to pickles please make sure there are NO pickles and he confirmed.

    When I got my order there was s huge pickle on my sandwich.  I took it back and got no apology just he would get me another sandwich.  15 minutes later I got my sandwich.  My husband waited to eat with me and his meal was then cold.

    My allergy is so severe to pickles it could make me severely sick.  What part of allergy didn't he understand.

    I typically would talk to the manager to complain but didn't want to waste anymore time there.

    Pay attention to what you order!!!!!!!

    Mayra should not be working in a restaurant of any kind, she was rude, messed up on our order and didn't bother to apologize, like it wasn't her problem.
    Along with that, the cooks were eating at the cooks line while preparing food. It was awesome to see the cook that probably just prepared your food, chewing then lick his greasy fingers only to pick up a plate of food and put it out for delivery.
    The bathrooms were disgusting! Standing water on the floor with bugs flying around.
    Good job Knowlwood, you are doing a great job losing customers.

    Stumbled upon this place as we were driving through town. Looked at the outside and thought why not let's try it out. We ordered the regular burger combo and the French Beef dip (au ju on the side) sandwich combo. I had to order my burger plain because I am lactose intolerant. Considering that it was pretty good. The patty was seasoned well and the fries had a good crisp. The French Beef Dip sandwich was plain and over salted. Other than that I would say it is a pretty cool spot to dine. Def gives the diner feel in a barn. Place was clean and the staff was nice.

    This old school rustic restaurant is situated in an old barn from the historic processing mill.   It has lots of nostalgic pieces including a 1928 car inside.   Being in a barn like restaurant, it seems a bit dark.  The is a pool table and a few arcade games.   It felt like an old school version of Fuddruckers.   The atmosphere is cute and original.  

    I had a quick snack of fries and wine.  The wine options are very limited and they serve from Costco style size 1.5 liter bottles.  Chardonnay is in very large bottles.  Smaller bottles (750 ml) would provide more selection and more fresh options.  A 1.5 liter bottle takes customers awhile to finish.  The white wine tasted very old and oxidized.  No vacuum seals are used that I could see.  I saw about 5 to 7 drafts for beer.  They also had some beer bottles available.

    Fries were freshly fried and hot but just ok.  It tasted like normal cut, hospital cafeteria fries.  No salt, no season salt or etc.  Equals bland; previously frozen fries.  McDonalds fries are much much better n Mc Ds fries are just fine.  This place was ok and I didn't try their burger.   So they may have a good burger.  I don't think we will return.  A good burger can't save bland fries and stale wine.
