Not much of a breakfast menu. Eggs seem to be carton type. Sign at entrace states to inquire about Benedicts, but when you do its nothing special or intriguing, as waitress responded it was normal, turkey, or veggie Benedicts. Pancake combo was also on board as special, but its nothing special. Got black coffee, which first cup was okay, but refill was definately water added to existing brew, as it was very clear and not much taste. Find better options elsewhere is my recommendation.

This is a classic dive bar for locals. Rustic, countrified, rough around the edges, with a jukebox. We had a great time.

You gotta visit just for the decorations!! Cowboy theme extravaganza!!! Some kinda creepy, but so fun.
Burger was very good!! Cooked well and came out juicy. The blue cheese was good quality.
A friend had the fried chicken and said it was excellent. Another recommended the Patty Melt.
But it's really all about the decorations!! The ceiling and walls are covered in old boots, animal skins, animal heads, signs, saddles, horns, pictures, chairs, hats, etc. etc. etc.
We were told by two locals during our wine tastings that this is the bar all locals come to at night.
The service was excellent!! Really wish I remember the server's name, but she has as much character as the restaurant does!!! Loved chatting with her. She gave us some excellent wine tasting recommendations too!!

I agree with the others, this place is a definite must-stop if you’re in the area! I didn’t eat here(though the food looked good), but the bar experience was fantastic; the bartender (sorry I forget her name) was perhaps the best bartender I’ve ever encountered! And there is so much ‘atmosphere and ambiance’; just grab a draft, have a seat and enjoy the ride!

Stumbled upon this place last week and so glad we did. Great little pub with great service and eats. Will definately plan to come back any time we're in the area.

Steak lacked flavor, mashed potatoes, and broccoli were fair. Service was good. Very much a bar vibe.
