Please ensure the bar maintains its authentic, traditional atmosphere. The burger patty was exceptional; it was evident that the meat was sourced fresh from a local rancher. Although I have passed this establishment numerous times over the past few years, I never had the opportunity to visit until now. I genuinely regret not having done so sooner.

Dietary restrictions: There are gluten-free options for people who can't eat regular bread.

Whatever you do...

DO NOT HOLD UP YOUR GLASS FOR A REFILL!

Possibly, our bartender/server was having an ugly morning before the lunch crowd hit.

Food was average and portions were small. Barbeque sauce was tasty.

Forgettable experience.

I love this place. I come out to visit family in the area every year and this is my favorite place to eat, hands down. Best burgers I've had in decades. The sweet chili tacos are heaven. The steaks look beautiful. Equally as important is the service. Always smiling and friendly. When they get busy it can get a little slow, but that's expected and the food always comes out hot and delicious.

We spotted this place while driving through. We love "hole in the wall" places, so we stopped for a cocktail. Our bartender was so welcoming, chatty, and made us feel at home! I wish I had gotten her name, we had some good conversation, and she even gave us a hug when we left.
Super sweet!!

I cannot believe the price I paid for mediocre food. I paid $12 for 4 teeny tiny jalapeno poppers? Paid $20 for a a burger that came with 10 french fries? Not worth the outrageous price at all!!!

We just stopped in for drinks. I think they are severely understaffed as we only stopped for drinks and it took longer than reasonable to get the drinks and to pay for them. I believe the waiter was by herself and was working really hard to serve everyone, but really needed an extra set of hands.

Stopped in for a drink, no bartender, 4 people in the bar total told us bartender was out back, 15 minutes later no bartender so we left.......

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED! We should have known there was something off when we walked in on a Saturday afternoon (2:35) and the place was deserted. Even though there were two patrons in the bar and the only other table in the restaurant was just leaving, It still took more than 5 minutes to be greeted and get menus. We ordered a side of Onion Rings to share (good - but commercial ones from Sysco). I ordered a patty melt (medium rare and it was served very rare). This is my go to by which I judge all burger restaurants against and this was okay -- not juicy or tasty; simply okay The fries were hand cut and only warm - not hot. My husband ordered the Crazy MTN Dip sandwich - it was written up as their version of a French Dip with onions and cheese and it was OFF. The meat was a gray color and had no beefy flavor or taste; but the aftertaste was like meat that has sat a couple days too long in the fridge.and had started to turn bad but not quite moldy. He took a couple bites and we waited for the server to reappear but when he wasn't to be seen, he asked me to taste it. There was a NASTY smell to the sandwich and while I tried a small bite out of the uneaten half, it ended up spit out in my napkin; it almost tasted moldy.

I need to point out that the server checked with us about 2 minutes after setting down the food and at that time we had only tried the onion rings. He didn't come back until 20 minutes later when I FLAGGED him down. Again - NO OTHER PATRONS IN THE RESTAURANT. My husband had eaten about half of his sandwich by then because we were hungry and a part had been spit out into his napkin. When we finally got the servers attention, he took the plate away, came back and said he would write off one of the beers and when we further questioned the food, he said he would send out the manager.

15 minutes later, we had to find the waiter again and ask why the manager hadn't bothered to come chat with us. "Oh... I'll get her." was the reply. Which meant he hadn't asked her to talk to us prior to that.

ALL of this really reflected poorly on the restaurant, the staff, and on Muddy Creek Ranch Beef. Beef that cooks up gray on the outside is not PRIME beef - no matter what anyone says.

This was a food safety concern that was brushed aside. The manager was coldly polite but she accused us of having been in and complained before. (We had NEVER been there before and will NEVER go back). Even with mediocre food we never complain (or even ever write a bad review as I was raised with the motto of if you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all). However, this was POOR customer service and poor food quality at its peak. $40 for food that is OLD and NASTY is not a good value by anyone's standard.

Yes the restaurant, bar and restrooms were clean, but that is where the positives end (and it should be when there are no patrons). The cooks were too busy gossiping and flirting to worry about how to cook the food to meet the customer's request or even to curb the language used since the grill is right out in the restaurant for all to hear. Honestly, you can get a better burger at Wendy's than you can here. Save your money...

We always get the burger because they are so darn good. We drive 45 minutes from Pine Creek passing a dozen restaurants on the way. The hand cut fries and onion rings are a must. Great margaritas too!
