Blue Ribbon Smokehouse Bakery - Phelps

My wife wanted to try this restaurant. A featured item is a Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut they make themselves. It's one of the best Reubens I've ever had. Service was fast and friendly. IMPORTANT consideration is that they are CASH ONLY with an ATM available on-site. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Our hostess/server was friendly enough. But I wasn't getting good vibes from the clientele. Interracial families might want to keep moving. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $10–20 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

I had heard great reviews about this place and so I stopped one day to see how it was. Boy was I disappointed. First the silverware was dirty we had to ask to replace 2 sets. Yuck. Then the coffee cup had someone's lipstick on it... double yuck. Should have bolted out then but the food... Third yuck. Never again!

While the service generally speaking was fine, i'm leaving a 2 star review bc i have no intention of ever returning over hygiene concerns. My unused, supposedly clean fork had dried food on it. When I showed the waitress the dried food, she grabbed another fork from an unoccupied table to give me. This one was even worse and had even more dried food, despite the waitress giving it a once over. A different waitress took the second fork away and promised to return with a third, actually clean fork. We never got a third fork. Dirty silverware aside, the food was good and the service was ultimately fine (not great, but acceptable). My issue is i can't trust the hygiene of their kitchen if they're setting the tables with dirty silverware Service: Dine in Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1

Great food and awesome service at the place (can't beat breakfast served anytime)! Maylene was the friendliest person we met on our journey across America! Every restaurant would love to have a waitress just like her!
