Experience Through Their Eyes

My parents live in the area and they come here almost every Friday. They claim the fish is the best they've ever had. The owners make everything by hand including the batter. I don't eat fish so I typically have chicken sandwiches with broccoli bites. Today I had the bacon cheddar tots and they were huge and good. My mom thought the steak sandwich was fantastic as well. The owners are fantastic, the atmosphere is a cool western theme, and always clean. I've been here about 10 times and always have good food and service.

We stopped by after a day of hiking and their special was lasagna with garlic toast. It was BEST lasagna we've had at a restaurant in years. Clearly homemade, lots of meat in it, and so large neither of us could finish it. We enjoyed the leftovers the next morning for breakfast. The atmosphere was rustic in a western cafe way, and very friendly. Smiles all around.
