Pros: Great homemade food at a great price Cons: Location My Advice: Go on a Friday or Saturday night, when you can get a Twice-Baked Potato I have been living in the C-U area for a little over 2 years now and I made my first visit to The Apple Dumplin' just 3 nights ago. We absolutely loved it! Enough so that we went again last night. Their twice-baked potato was fantastic, one of the best potatoes I've ever eaten. The only bad thing it that they only serve it on Friday and Saturday nights, so if you go any other time, you're SOL. On our first visit, my son, my step-daughter-to-be and I all got beef and noodles. The children's version is served with mashed potatoes on the side, while the full-size meal is served over a bed of mashed potatoes. It was delicious and also very filling. Even though it was the nightly all-you-can-eat meal, I was only able to eat one plate. My fiance ordered fried chicken and it was very good. Lightly breaded and juicy, just the way fried chicken should be. On our second visit I got the all-you-can-eat popcorn shrimp, the Saturday night special. Paired with the twice-baked potato, my meal was excellent. This was no tiny, marble sized shrimp; they were plump and perfectly fried. Not to mention, all-you-can-eat shrimp for only $8.75? Are you kidding me? My fiance got the beef and noodles, which was just as tasty as the first time. The kids got chicken strips and fries, which were just what you would expect, but the portions were huge. The staff is very friendly and they remembered us from the first time we were there. Our waitress even commented that my son had gotten a haircut in between. The salad bar is nothing super special, but it's adequate. I loved the cucumber salad and the kidney bean salad. Almost everything made here is done so from scratch. I don't know if the popcorn shrimp was, but the beef and noodles, fried chicken and mashed potatoes definitely were. According to the menu we brought home, they peel about one ton of potatoes a week. The homemade rolls are heavy and very good. Even better, they have apple butter in a squeeze bottle right at the table. I could almost make an entire meal of their rolls with apple butter. The only bad thing about The Apple Dumplin' is their location. They are located a few miles outside of town in the last place you would expect a restaurant to be. There is a reason it took me so long to come here....... because I didn't even know about it. We found it quite literaly by accident.

Just found this place on yelp this morning. My Sadee needed a bath big time, bad doggy dad, so I checked them out. I have a curly coated retriever and she is very anxious and does not like being left anywhere without my wife or myself. Noticed they have self service tubs. Took the super short and convenient drive there to scope it out. One word...AWESOME! The ladies there are super nice and helped a noob on how things work. My Sadee loved being washed by me. The tubs are super sweet, with all the amenities any human or dog could want! So if you have a companion that doesn't like being without you for a few hours, check them out. I also asked about grooming and the time it took for a medium to large dog like mine. (70 lbs) they told me about 3 hours, which is great considering I have taken Sadee places and they keep her for an entire day. I might give that a try next time.

Pricey, but worth every penny. I like going here when I'm not busy. I get fois gras almost all the time, and the oysters are good too... I forget what else I order, but it's always good! I have yet to try out their entire menu but I'm stuck ordering the same thing coz it tastes so good. Every time I've been here the service has been pretty awesome... Except this one time my waitress didn't refill my water for the longest time. I thought I was going to die from dehydration. :( But other than the ONE TIME they've been darlings. The one thing that I HATE *GASP!* is the enormous plates they use for the entrees I order. I mean. I got the kumamoto oysters and they're wee cute little oysters. Four of them, barely the size of my thumb all nestled on this plate of ice the size of TITANIC. Okay, not that big, but it took up 1/3 of my table! I was like. Are you serious? I don't even have room to eat. :( I still love this place though, complaints are minor, just a pain when I bring my boyfriend who doesn't eat anything I like to eat. It makes me feel ronery at the table. I hope they expand their restaurant size in the future, possibly install table grills to make Okonomiyaki? *Hopes&prays&wishes*

The food here is okay. Wings, BBQ, Bar foods. The floor here is always super slippery. It doesn't matter if I am wearing heels or sneakers. I just don't get why the floor is like and ice skating rink.
