Was in town for Thanksgiving and stopped by for dinner. My grandson got a burger and said it was one of the best he had ever had. The servings were large & every thing came out hot. Would recommend the sweet potato waffle fries.

We went to The Dig for a late lunch. It was around two in the afternoon, so it wasn’t crowded. They have a large menu and it took me a while to decide what I wanted. I ended up choosing the smokehouse burger with a side order of corn nuggets. I have never been offered a corn nugget before and I was intrigued by that. Everything was so good! I had to eat the burger with my knife and fork because there was so much stuff on it. I could only eat half of my meal, but I will enjoy the second half of it in the near future. The hubs ordered a French dip. He got battered fries as his side. We also didn’t know what a battered fry was and so we were intrigued by that as well. I tested one of those. I thought it was pretty good. I don’t really like seasoned fries or other fry that have things done to them, but it was very minimal and the fry I ate was tasty. He said his sandwich was good! We each had Miller light to drink with our meal. It would’ve been better if it were on draft, but that is the only downside. The glass was chilled, and the beer was cold. We got excellent service from Andrea who explained the menu items we asked about. I’m glad we chose to go to The Dig for lunch because it was a great lunch experience!

A friendly greeting and invitation to sit where you like. Always a pleasure to dine here. Restaurant is charming, spacious, clean, and comfortable. Food ... oh my so scrumptious. They have a vast menu and always hit a home run. My favorite is the smoked ribs, done to perfection!

Great atmosphere with friendly staff and great food. Lots to choose from on the menu. The catfish was cooked perfectly as well as the salmon. Baked potatoes and the asparagus were amazing. Bar with draft beers created a nice atmosphere to sit and hang out for a while. Definitely worth checking out.

Passing through town after a hike at the state park and this place hit the spot with a warm and fresh meal! We assumed it was just bar food, but the menu had a ton of healthy options and a variety of things to choose from, from grilled fish (3 kinds) BBQ, veggies, sandwiches…wings…salad…baked potatoes… really great menu with decent prices! Will definitely be back!

Really good 1/2 pound burgers! Rueben was delicious. Husband's asparagus spears were grilled just right. Nice salad bar. Smoked brisket and turkey are on the menu too. Worth the 1 hr drive! Bar in the back. Family dining in the front!
