Orchard Tree

We have eaten here several times over the years and the food is always pretty good. I like the salad bar (pistachio pudding) and fried chicken. I service staff are always very friendly and the girls cleaning tables today were awesome.

Went for the morning buffet on a Sunday, small crowd, seated myself. Buffet wasn’t bad, normal breakfast items available. Eggs as well as hash browns were pretty bland but considering it was a buffet it was pretty standard. My issue was the sign outside advertised breakfast buffet for $ 6.99. My bill that was delivered said $ 7.49. When asking cashier her comment was «oh we’ve been meaning to change that sign forever, it’s $ 7.49». I wasn’t about to argue and paid the bill. Normally, places will honor their advertisement even in error. I would have rated 4 stars but the advertisement rubbed me the wrong way*

Just a nice family restaurant. Food is usually very good but not spectacular. Service is usually very friendly and fast. Had an excellent cream pie last week. We eat breakfast after church once or twice a month. Omelets are great and home fries are always just right amount of crispness.

Well my journey to find food for the night lands me at the Orchard Tree. All the other places I went to were closed for the night. And it was only 7!
Unassuming on the outside, inside one was able to seat oneself. Within 5 minutes water was brought out and the took my order. I decided to try the steak menu and got the «OTOT» 3 3-​oz tender steak filets with choice of two sides and Texas toast. The menu includes sandwiches, homestyle items, breakfast items, and pie, for fairly standard prices.
Inside the atmosphere is casual and family friendly. The customers tended to be older, I did not spy many under 50. There is a prominent salad and soup bar on the left, with fairly good selection. There is plenty of seating available.
The macaroni salad came out quickly, it was pretty average, kinda weird sour tasting. The steak filets came out done as I requested, and had surprisingly good flavor. It didn’t even need A1 sauce, good age, good char. The mashed potatoes were as expected.
Service was friendly, I had no complaints. Restaurant was clean as far as I can tell. I don’t really know the history of the owners or the past performance, but it was A-​ok when I was there. It looks like they’re revamping the menu over the next couple of months.
