Stopped here on a whim, traveling home to Chicago from the JD county fairgrounds. Our server Garry was friendly, helpful and funny. Eveything we ate and drank was excellent, and the shrimp mac and cheese was the BEST in my life. I would drive over 2 hours for no other reason except to eat there.

My husband and I decided at the last minute to go out for dinner on Valentine's Day, and so I called the Rafters to see if we had any chance of getting a reservation last minute. They got us in no problem! The food and drinks were delicious, and the service was great! We really loved the cheese fondue appetizer, so I really hope they have it again, because we will be back for sure! Great last minute date night on Valentine's Day :)

I love this place. The food is so good. The desserts will change your life if you have room for them and their beer Is straight from the brewery! Lovely gift shop and the brewery is next store so there's two bars and a huge dining room as well. Love it. Love it. Love it.

I can mark this place off my bucket list. Staff was friendly and efficient. Food was ok. Sweet potato tots were amazing(Best I've ever had) but threat of the took was just ok. Decor was outdated and reminded me of an old family restaurant. Tghe water fall gave the restaurant a musty smell. The little shop was adorable. Lots of fun things!

The all you can eat breakfast and lunch buffet was really good. We had a group of 10 people and the staff was extremely accommodating. The food was very good.
