Great selection of food from the menu and excellent freshness and taste. Service was very friendly, informative and attentive. The decor is barn like, interesting and a small gift shop area at the front for unique items to browse or purchase.

Enjoyed lunch with a friend and we had the Santa Fe wrap and I had a side of the Tuscan soup. Everything was delicious.

Good service and the meatloaf sandwich was so so good. Tastes like they put love into the plates they serve! Nice atmosphere as well, I love coming here when I'm in town.

Great warm & welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and the food was phenomenal. My husband ordered the all-you-can-eat catfish, and he said that it was the best he'd ever had! You've gotta save room for dessert because there's so many options! They even have frozen meals that you can take to-go. Can't wait to go back!

We traveled from Tulsa to Gentry to eat here for my sisters birthday dinner. The building and atmosphere is so cute and homey. My husband read that some of the beams inside dated back to the 1870s!!! We all tried something different but a few of the standouts were the ribeye steak, catfish, gourmet potatoes and creamy pecan chicken!!!! We also tried a few different dessert samplers that had half pieces of three different desserts. Our favorites were peanut butter, bumblebee, and bread pudding!!! It was a great dinner and we had a nice long family table that we were able to chat and relax and enjoy my sisters birthday. The service was excellent and our waitress was so sweet to help us decide what we wanted to try.

We walked in at noon and the wait was 45 mins. The hostesses and servers were courteous as people were standing and waiting and checking the wait list. The restaurant had a rustic open feel but what stood out for me were how the tables were widely spread out and therefore everyone had their own private space. The food ... I had the crispy mushroom burger with the baked beans. I looked at the beans and it's not what I had in mind until I took that first bite. It's sweet and the variety of beans made it so good! My niece ordered the chicken wrap and potato soup. They pan fried the outside crispy! Potato soup is a must. Creamy and full of flavor. It's a beautiful restaurant with outstanding service and the food is well with the wait!
