Not sure what their specialty is here, but it’s definitely not the veggie hash. My Son wanted to check out the food here- I acquiesced. His chicken was dry (chicken & waffles). My hash was oversaturated with oil, the toast was hard and the skillet potatoes/veggies were undercooked- the dish was just not well executed. I only ate 1/4 of the meal.On a more positive note: I had a kind and attentive server and there was no wait for Sunday brunch.1 star for food.5 stars for service.

We rented Thunderbird’s back room for a bachelor/bachelorette party and had the best experience. Big thank you to Rob owner/manager and his staff for making our night amazing. He made sure we were all taken care of the entire evening. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Loved the live music, good food and drinks!

We stopped here for drinks midday and had a great bartender zianna. She remade a drink without question even better. And my field berry monitor was fantastic. Doors were open, great atmosphere ? ?

Chicken and waffles was fantastic. Our waitress was super nice and friendly. We had to ask for our check, but we weren't in a rush. The cocktail list looked good. I'll go back to try dinner.

We came in and were served drinks by someone who was not our waiter, and when our waiter came by to take our drink orders, I expressed they had already been taken. This must have been interpreted as “we are being taken care of already” because for 15 minutes we watched everyone who worked here walk by us several times without acknowledgement. I came here when they first opened and walked away with a pretty abysmal service experience and it’s really not much better today. I think they need some help with communication between staff.

I was super excited to try this new restaurant but unfortunately nothing went right. Things started off bad when we accidentally spilled some drinks, after cleaning up what we could ourselves, the waiter said he would come back with a towel and then disappeared for 20 minutes. A kind hostess came over to help clean up our table, then she warned us she was going to spray “sanitizer” however later we realized it was bleach. All 3 people sitting at our table had our shirts ruined with bleach spots. I was so hoping the food was going to redeem the experience but it was mediocre, we got 3 appetizers. The Fry basket was around $9 and it was a very small portion, to make it worse it tasted like they were fried in old dirty oil. We also ordered the fried pickles which was also an extremely small portion, possibly the smallest I’ve had at any restaurant, they were plated over a bed of lettuce to make the portion look larger. The chicken quesadillas was the only thing that was a decent portion. At the end of experience the owner took our drinks off the bill but unfortunately that doesn’t even cover the cost of all our bleach sprayed shirts. Definitely wouldn’t recommend there’s a lot of better food spots in town.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! they force you to use your debit card to order food even though you are paying cash. at the end of our dinner we paid the waitress cash and she still charged our card, plus tip. she pocketed the cash and walked away with a tip. we paid double for terrible food. and of course you call there is no recollection of that happening. straight thieves!!!

Atmosphere is cool with a ski/snowboard decor. The pretzels and fries were excellent. Sandwiches average. Reason for 3 star is they charge a 3.5% restaurant fee which is not explained before ordering. Also, lunch special does not include fries so with the additional charge it really isn’t priced as a special.

The place looks great and our waitress was awesome but the quantity of food for the price is ridiculous. If you are going to charge $15 for a sandwich, it should have more than 2 pieces of meat on it. Charge what you charge but make it worth $15.00
