Great spot to make a special trip for. Recommend reservations in advance. And definitely get the try tip 🤤🤤. I got mine without bun (my intention was to finish all of the meat - which I did!).

Fun adventure. Cool historic sights. Tasty food. Great drinks. But get there early cuz it gets busy. If you plan on eating at the restuarant, reservations are highly recommended.

3.5 stars for the food 5 stars for the staff and atmosphere. Ordered the tri-tip and buffalo burger. Both came with 1 side, we ordered the onion rings and the black bean game chili.(extra $3) The buffalo burger was good, pretty standard with lettuce and choice of cheese and so was the black bean gam

What a pleasant surprise. Definitely recommend this cozy place in the mountain - both food and service were above my expectations. Loved their onion rings, tri tips, and scallops. Need to make a reservation for dinner via phone call. Will visit again.

Stopped in for some lunch from a suggestion from my Dad who frequented this joint 50-60 years ago. Was a really good burger! Cool place.

Awesome place. Great service and delicious food. Gotta try the Frenchtri and the Wild Game Black Bean.
