DESCRIPTION: Our very large family had dinner tonight at the Spotted Hog. My brother read in the paper that they had a "seafood extravaganza". 3 of our party of 12 had ordered the "pacific" dinner for 22.95. It is a shame that the crab was awful-rubbery, and not very fresh tasting. The corn was soggy, and the ear of corn I had was very skimpy! I would have thrown it in the trash, and not fed that to my family. My husband is a huge fan of seafood, and left very dissapointed after eating rocks and sand with every one of his mussels. I ended up eating my nephew's french fries, because I couldnt stand to eat the crab that was way over priced. The staff was nice and everyone seemed concerned that we had a nice dinner, but we didn't have a nice dinner. I am not writing this to get a free coupon or anything. I would just like to see the food improve so that people aren't spending their hard-earned money on awful food.

DESCRIPTION: My kids attend karate nearby, so I kind of stumbled onto this place...very glad I did. The food is good, the service friendly and comfortable. BTW if you don't have kids in Action karate, it is worth the trip.

Best you will find anywhere!
DESCRIPTION: This restaurant is one of the most charming and elegant establishments you will find on earth. I wish they had something like the ol' Cock N Bull, in Florida. Fat chance! The restaurant reeks of "wonderful country ambiance." The food is excellent and the service, well second to none. What more can I say? The establishment is kept spotless. The staff are courteous and knowledgeable. Step into this eatery and you step back into another period of time. You will not find a better eating establishment on our earth, as far as I am concerned. Whenever I visit Lahaska, my visit would not be complete without dinner at the Cock N Bull. I would walk 90 miles barefoot in the snow, to get to this place, if that is what it took. It would be worth it! Food, of course, is freshly prepared.

Raw Turkey
DESCRIPTION: We just spent nearly $300.00 on a bad Thanksgiving Day Turkey Dinner. The kitchen pulled the turkeys out so fast that only the outer layer was cooked. Three members of our party sent back their plates because the turkey was not done. I sent mine back twice. When I told the hostess about the turkey all she said was "Oh, Okay".

Handicapped Accessible only if the hostess cares.
DESCRIPTION: The atmosphere is standard "mock old-timey" and the food is mediocre. Worst of all is the uncaring staff. I was wearing obviously post-surgery sandals and the waitress told me the restroom was downstairs - and it was stairs - it was an ordeal. At the end of our meal, I learned, by investigating on my own, that there was a restroom right near the restaurant entrance, just off the first floor at the entrance to the bar. Before I left, I whispered to a woman who had come in on crutches to tell her where to find the nearby restroom, so she wouldn't be sent down to the lower level. We'd eaten there a couple times before and been quite unimpressed, but had decided to try it again - food was mediocre, AGAIN.
