Little Gem Restaurant

"Dined there on Feb 2nd 2024 @ 5:15 pm. Only offered buffet, ALL OF THE FOOD was COLD! Outrageously overpriced, $25.00 EACH, ONLY SEEN 1 DESSERT OFFERED. When I asked the waitress what was going on, I was told they only use sterno cans to keep the food hot! No apology, no refunds, too bad. I even mentioned the fact they had JUST opened! Outrageous!!! Never again."

"Not the time of year to eat at a state park. Some items were sold out, no specials due to occupancy and no internet so no credit cards. To be honest about it I’m not positive I got enough change back. (Stuffed the cash in my pocket without counting)."

"Great experience! No doubt we beat the hustle & bustle of Nashville by dining here after our Friendsgiving hike of 10.5 miles to complete the 7 Vista Challenge! Let’s get into it! When we arrived, we had a group of 9, which is understandably concerning for restaurants. However, they accommodated us & even put us off the main dining room in our own private room, which is always nice! Our waitress brought waters for the whole table and took our drink & food orders rather quickly. Most of us opted for the Soup & Salad, which was quick and easy. It is JUST that: soup and salad, not a full buffet. A few women ordered entrees, those didn’t take long to come out. However, our only issue was the time it took for 2 in our group to get their salads that they had ordered as entrees. I will say, we only had 1 waitress, which may have contributed to the time it took for the ladies to get salads. Paying was easy. I opted to pay with cash & that took longer as no one else had paid cash that day so my waitress had to go find change. Again, minor issues & still beats what I’m sure were long wait times at any restaurant in Nashville/Brown County!"

"It takes a lot for me to write a review. Service was absolutely horrid. Salad was served overflowing in a tiny bowl, had to ask twice for the dressing, order came out wrong, 2 sides were missing, rolls weren’t brought out initially then came out so hard they crumbled apart when trying to cut them. Food didn’t come out for an hour and 40 minutes of that were with 0 drink refills. The server was trying her best and kept apologizing, the manager didn’t say sorry once, didn’t offer to take off or discount any of the number of things that were wrong or took forever, nothing. Honestly one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had."

"First night, we were impressed with the wait staff, but not so impressed with the food. The only redeeming item was the pork tenderloin. We had our dog with us and we were allowed to sit out on the patio, which was pretty neat. Second night, we had the meatloaf and burger. Both were delicious! Side items were pretty boring, but the real stars were the blackberry cobbler and iced tea. Both were delicious! Limited menu, but good specials and friendly staff. The wait times were short and food served hot. Prices are reasonable and all is clean!"
