Manzanita - Middletown

I must admit that I was not expecting much from this rural casino restaurant but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, the presentation, the price of the meal, and the service. Amanda provided excellent service, great care, and awesome suggestions regarding food selections.. Give this young lady a raise! The food came out quickly, the portion sizes were much larger than expected, and my burger and onion rings were delicious and filling. I also had a slice of carrot cake for desert. It was garnished with sliced carrots (great touch). I was stunned by the bill. I expected to pay at least $30 more than we did. I was in the area for a special event and I ate here because it was the only restaurant open at 8:30 pm. However, if I'm passing through the area again, I will be making an intentional stop here. PS My wife and her best friend had similar raving reviews about the Caesar salad, chocolate cake (she's not a fan but this was to die for), and the grown up grilled cheese.

Came to Twin Pine for an Elvis show. Drove 2.5hrs did some gambling. Went thought we'd enjoy a nice meal at Manzanita restaurant before the show Walked in and the place was 1/2 to 2/3 empty. We asked for a table. We were told it would be 20+ minutes as other large groups were coming after we got there. I guess we aren't as important to Manzanita as others are. I walked out And had a nice Hot dog/chips/soda I come there several times a year with a big group for anniversaries, birthdays,etc. we have always been treated well until this trip. Guess I'll be taking Manzanita and Twin Pine off my list

Wonderful great priced food. Restraunt is insde of Twin Pines Casino. I had 1/4 rack of ribs and 1/4 chicken. It was cooked very well and the sauce was mild spicy good. Our waitress was friendly and prompt. She came back to check on us and get refills. Thanks. Good meal.

My daughter and I were visiting and chose to stay at the Twin Pines Casino Hotel. After a long day, we decided to have dinner at the Manzanita Restaurant in the casino. Unfortunately, we were shocked by the poor service and food. It took over an hour for our meals to arrive, and they turned out to be the worst we’ve ever had. I ordered Chicken Marsala, which tasted like cheap packaged gravy with an overwhelming sweetness—just awful! I specifically asked for a baked potato instead of rice, but was served rice anyway. When I mentioned this to the waitress, she informed me that they were out of baked potatoes. My daughter ordered a steak cooked medium, but it was tough and undercooked to the point where she could barely cut it. When I expressed my disappointment to the waitress, she just shrugged it off with a casual, "Sorry about that." I would strongly advise against eating here; it was truly a terrible experience!

I had lunch at The Manzanita in Twin Pines Casino, Middletown, recently. I've dined here many times before. This time, we had a new server named Alberto, who was very pleasant and engaging. He anticipated our needs, was friendly, and worked efficiently. He did an excellent job, and I look forward to seeing him again. I was also happy to see Mindy back—another fantastic server at Manzanita. I’ll definitely be returning soon!
