reservations

Yes, I believe you can. As far as I know they're still taking reservations. I haven't started working there (again) yet, I will next week. I'm currently working another full time job in a kitchen (the country club here in town) so I don't know about everything that's changed at the Button Factory, but I do know I eat there regularly on Mondays to keep up with old coworkers and the last two times everyone in my family enjoyed their food, including myself. I know their food as I had to deal with it for two years, and it has improved drastically since I left 2 months ago, and will continue to as their menu will change early next year. Thanks for giving the place another chance, Chosen.

Service was good, but the food..

The last time I was there (11/10/07) I was with a group of eight. Two of us ordered the meatloaf amd the waitress came back and said they were out. I then ordered the smoked chicken and my wife had a chicken salad. Ours were terrible, but everyone else ordered an itialian dish and really liked it. I would rate it on a scale of 1-10 with 10 beening a great to eat, 4.

Nicest restaurant

Toby was the General Manager only. He developed employee manuals and recipes. That is all. He did not ''start the place'' and it was a blessing when he left because his ego wouldn't fit in a football stadium.

Applebees the ''nicest restaurant''?? I don't think so. Give the Button Factory another try. The new manager is awesome.

Meat and potatoes

Take a look at the menu; there's plenty of ''meat and potatoes''.
