Cw's - Alpena

Eating is out of the chain. I travel from south to north. by far the best I tasted! the staff is very open and friendly. the management is the same. he introduced customers to get my compliment. that's great! Everyone should stop and eat here!

Casual atmosphere, but well-kept and clean. The waiters were very friendly and checked in on us frequently. We started off with a sampler platter, and everything on it was great. We then ordered a pizza, a burger, a garden salad with prime rib, shrimp scampi, and corn chowder soup. Everyone collectively agreed that everything was great, particularly the pizza.

First time eating here, service good, friendly, fair price, french onion soup very good. Good portion, arrived at 615 just opening, 4 others walked in sat down, left without ordering? Not sure what is going on here. Chicken Marsala was more like chicken piled on mashed potatoes with gravy, not much of a wine taste, will rethink about another visit.

CW's restaurant has really become disappointing. We went there today for Sunday Brunch. The offerings were slim. The presentation was poor. I thought ok, I will settle for blueberry pancakes but they were out of those. They used to have a pretty nice Sunday Brunch and a giant salad bar for lunch and dinner which has disappeared. Even the cleanliness of the place, especially up by the serving bar is questionable. I had a couple of punch cards from the place that had accumulated over $150 worth of punches allowing me a $15 worth of credit. They said they no longer honor them. It's almost like Ramada Inn has no interest in making this as good a restaurant as it once was. Not sure where I will be going in Alpena for Sunday Brunch but it won't be here again.

I suppose it is what should be expected from a hotel restraunt/buffet. The tables were clean. Service was ok, similar to a Shoneys I think. Overall quality of food was awful. Nothing was good, what fresh items were replaced did not aid the quality. Overall the convenience of it being in the hotel does not compensate for the lackluster quality of food.
