"This place is so special. It’s very popular with locals and for a good reason. The food is always fresh and well made with weekly and seasonal specialties. My husband and Mom have dietary restrictions and are always able to find something on the menu that is pleasing. Chicken Riggies and Grilled chicken sandwich with rarebit sauce are always fam favorites. If you get the rare bit sauce with pretzels, hang on to it for the entree and dip some fries in. Personally, I love the nachos, pretzels, veggie burgers, salads with falafel and any of their sides. The winter menu mushroom kale burger is my standard order. The shells and sauce are favorites of my NYC Italian mom who usually hates on all sauce that’s not her own. The French Onion soup has plenty of the umami flavor and coziness that you you expect and want from that dish. They offer a great selection of beers some of which are their own. My favorite is Hop Pop IPA. They have a program called “The Giving Tap” which highlights a weekly special beer with proceeds going to community charities. I have never had anything but a wonderful experience with their staff. The hosts and waitstaff are usually very busy but nothing short of kind, respectful and professional. I notice there is a core staff that is there for years and that says something. Have a bad day? Come to Krogh’s. Good day? End of the week? Family visiting? Snow day? Summer night? The answer is always Krogh’s for us because they consistently provide an exceptional experience. The prices are fair, it’s not Applebees or a pizzeria. *My parents recently house sat for us on their 40th anniversary. We got them a gift card for a night out and they were treated so nicely. They had the special forest booth and were given a bottle of champagne. It made them so happy."

"Probably one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. We were a party of 8. Food came out one plate at a time over the course of about 20 minutes. The first person who got her food was done eating by the time the last person got theirs.. BUT, that wasn’t the worst part. When my husband’s food came out the waiter spilled a HUGE cup of tartar sauce all over his coat and my brother’s coat. My husband’s coat was ruined. The good news is that they did end up buying him a new coat because the stains did not come out. My brother’s stains came out of his coat, but he wasn’t compensated anything for the headache. The whole experience was just AWFUL. My mother had to beg for rags and water to clean up tarter sauce that was literally dripping from their coats. Zero help was given to help us clean everything up. Not one person came running to give us an hand. And we were on our way to see a Christmas parade so they needed their coats to be wearable. The manager had absolutely no remorse and we weren’t given anything to make our experience a little bit better IN THAT MOMENT. In fact, we had to ask to speak with her! Like the least you could do is comp 1 meal?!?! Maybe a free drink or a cookie?!?!?! She was rude, unapologetic, and lacked any sense of remorse! Who would ever give someone like that a manager job? We all lost our appetite as my mom dunked dish rags in a pitcher of water to try to clean up a huge tartar sauce mess all over their coats! We understand accidents happen, but their lack of empathy was AWFUL. Food was just OKAY. Definitely will never return for horrible service, just okay tasting food, poorly trained management, and a huge headache."
