St. Nick's - Santa Claus

We unexpectedly discovered S. Nick's while driving across the country, and it impressed us so much that we made a point to return the next time we were in the area. This restaurant is surprisingly located in the basement of a hotel, which seems a bit unusual, but maybe that's part of what makes it Santa Claus's best kept secret. While it's not always available, when they do offer it, the Sunday brunch buffet here is absolutely fantastic! The variety of dishes is exceptional, and the prices are quite reasonable.

--- **Meal Experience: Breakfast** **Dine-In** **Price Range: $10–$20 per person** I recently dined at this restaurant for breakfast, and I had a delightful experience. The atmosphere was inviting, making it a perfect spot to start the day. The menu offered a variety of delicious options, all reasonably priced between $10 and $20 per person. The food was fresh and well-prepared, with generous portions that left me feeling satisfied. The service was also commendable, as the staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a hearty breakfast without breaking the bank. --- Let me know if you need any adjustments or additional details!

The restaurant is permanently closed. I was quite disappointed after reserving a week at the hotel where it is located. None of the hotel websites mentioned that the restaurant had been closed for two years. This was truly disappointing.

The restaurant does not serve food to non-hotel guests, which is unfortunate because I live very close by.

I’ve visited this place three or four times now, and I thought the off-peak season for Holiday World might explain why I couldn’t get a meal here. I came across various Yelp reviews that mentioned different aspects, so as a local, I wanted to give it a try and provide my honest opinion. However, on my last visit, I was informed that I couldn’t dine there because I wasn’t a hotel guest! Really? What kind of establishment has a restaurant but refuses to serve walk-in customers? It seems they don’t think their food is good enough for travelers who aren’t staying there or for locals who might return.
