“Absolutely amazing meal. I had the New York strip. Easily one of the top 5 steaks I’ve ever had. Wife had the vegan enchiladas that were delicious. We shared a stuffed avocado and breaded Chile strips. Two new dishes that knocked our socks off. Staff were very friendly, responsive, and made frequent checks. The owner was engaging and very friendly. Absolutely on our return next year for our anniversary trip restaurant list!“

“My husband and I ate there this morning before we headed back home from our weekend getaway and let me tell ya,the food was great,service was great and how many places can you say where you eat that the walls are clean? I know that may sound strange but seriously, their restaurant is very clean! We highly recommend it and can't wait for our next visit 😀“

“Sub standard beef. Over priced beef that was “select” at best. We were a party of 4. Three of us ordered roasted prime rib. It was not prime. Extremely chewy, and no flavor. My husband’s $75 prime ribeye, was anything but prime. Just terrible waste of money. Only positive note, the Elk skewers appetizer, and bread was good. Skipped dessert, because we didn’t want to pay high dollar for more subpar food.“

“Great food and service, steak was cooked to perfection. Great spot just outside of the town, so nice to get away from the crowds.“

“The best Mexican breakfast in town and priced well.“

“Best steak, great service!“

“Best green chile burger! Queso fries were good, and service great. Good spot to get out of the crowds.“

“We’re locals and this is kind of our go to place to eat lunch/dinner. We’re always seated promptly with great personalities. The store is always super clean. The tables are bussed promptly. The people are very friendly and tentative. The order is always correct. The food is always spot on. Very good. And a great portion. And the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this establishment.“
