“ 3rd time here (2016, 2018, 2022) and once again left very satisfied. Great service, food was ready quickly and it was quite delicious. We shared a BBQ combination for 2 and it was more than enough food. Everything tasted good and was cooked to the right tenderness. Fries were crispy and overall great. The soup of the day was also quite good! We definitely enjoyed the homemade BBQ sauce. It might be different than BBQ sauces we had in other regions, but it was great for us! ”
“ Great pit stop. Whether coming or goin' its a perfect restaurant to unwind, listen to some lively music, chat with tourists, mountain climbers or dusty Bikers. Friendly atmosphere. Epic view. Outside dining. Dog friendly. (Berenger's my sidekick on this sojourn..) pretty good food....burgers, sandwiches, bbq and a decent salad bar. Good beer selection too. Then you can roll out and walk around the very quaint town. Get gas before ya get here.... paid 4.07/gal today. Oh well...its my personal Garden of Eden on this side o' the Sierras. H ”

“ We came here for dinner because of the smell of barbecued meat on the street and we had an excellent dinner! Although the restaurant was very frequented, we didn't have to wait long to get our table. The spare ribs were as good as it gets - drizzled with a tasty homemade BBQ sauce and served with corn, fries, salad and rolls. The burger was grilled as ordered and had a great BBQ aroma, just as we expected. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We can recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves some nicely grilled meat! ”
