This is a great spot in the scenic mountain area of Santa Barbara California. Awesome food and the staff is amazing. Perfect stop for lunch while on a motorcycle ride.
Historic tavern hidden in a valley off of the San Marcos pass. Great steaks and tri-tip, Craft Beer, and good service. It can get crowded though. Indoor or outdoor dining.
The shacks that house the bar & dining room are stuffed with antiques or you can eat outside next to the creek.
Just an awesome place to stop in grab a bite to eat and something to drink and take in the history of this place its relaxing and refreshing all in one!

Customers have praised the amazing food, great atmosphere, and cool history of this spot. The tri-tip sandwich, with its oak-wood smoky flavor, is one of the best they've ever had. The bison sandwich and onion rings are also highly recommended. The service is friendly, and the rustic experience in the Santa Ynez mountains is a true gem. Visitors enjoy the live music, fresh air, and the overall lush and beautiful surrounding. The menu also offers pasta specials and soups that are well-received. The establishment is worth the drive and a place to revisit.
