Wife brought a few people last weekend, they were up a few nights. She was embarrassed by the service and eventual food that followed. Never experienced this in the past but did a week ago. The parking lot is usually packed driving by Friday nights I hope they don't just become a local watering hole. Hopefully they read this site.

Jim Gray and son Jamie have run the place for years, and it’s been a fun place to go, grab a bite, and chat with people. It’s the first place in that location to have been successful, as far as I can recall, so it’s a shame that their business is taking a turn in the wrong direction. Can’t explain it, but hopefully they can turn things around because if not, people will gravitate toward other places. There are plenty of good restaurants around.

I don't get over near Buckey's too often, but when I do it's usually after having done some camp cleaning/mowing, whatever.

I would then stop in for one of their delicious cheeseburger platters- great fries, coleslaw and pickle spear (two, even, if you asked).

About two-three years ago they started substituting sliced bread and butter pickles for the spears. Maybe I was being too pickled about this change of events- but a red flag went up!

Eventually... no pickle(s) at all!!!

Hmmmmm?
