The Inn dates back to 1911, and it’s been a family restaurant since then. It was on different hands, which is so interesting. We had the dinner buffet. You have a great salad bar, different meats to choose from (beef, chicken, etc), you’ll get fish; mash potatoes, pasta, etc. the food is delicious, you have to give it a try. And the carrot was sooooo good!

I only had time to stop in for a coffee but the lovely hostess Sammy was AMAZING! Great atmosphere inside and a beautiful neighborhood outside with places to sit outside and enjoy the natural surroundings!

Stopped in on a whim while driving by and we were super happy we did. Our waitress Allie was so sweet and made sure to check on us often. The portions were so large we brought half home. The salad bar was very well stocked with so many choices. The chicken noodle soup was made with homemade noodles and was so tasty it didn’t need any seasoning. The place was super clean. It is definitely on our list to go back to when we are back in October!!!

This amazing restaurant has such delicious food. You won’t go hungry with the variety of choices on their salad bar, or their buffets. Our waitresses have always been so nice keeping cups full and extra bread rolls when needed. I like the original charm of the place with the wooden floors. I find their prices also fair, so give Williams Inn a try.

Brought my grandma to Williams Inn for lunch while we were in town. It was nice to see the place back open. The waitress was attentive,fast and friendly. Five of us ate for under 60. Portions were huge, and we took leftovers home. The salad bar was really fresh looking too. My grandma really likes their homemade bread.

My wife and I stopped in on Sunday while on a Spyder ride with another couple. What a great place. Had the Soup and Salad bar and my buddy chose the Buffet. Everything is s home made and delicious. Great atmosphere and clean. Our Waitress was so friendly and helpful. This is definitely a place worth visiting. The next time I'll be planning on stopping and will go for the buffet.
