"My wife and I loved this place has a small museum and we learned a lot of history about Smethport here. The service and food was wonderful. We had French onion soup, which was amazing also had pretzel sticks with beer cheese, and potato skins. I would recommend this to anybody even if you had to drive a half an hour or more to get there. It is a great place to visit and eat."
