The kind of restaurant and bar heavily touristed yet locally equally admired. Lunch wings done crispy and as good as they get, in addition to many other quality diner style dishes; sans soups and other leavings for the fancy city slickers! Don’t know about the resort aspect or rooms but the horse-shoe bar looked great for snow days or summer nights. Grocery store side seemed handy, though very limited product supply in late winter season. Great stop with the good old of things being done and kept right. Nice to see and be a part of this ethic in an awesome landscape.

I stop at this cafe for breakfast every time I'm in the area. I've been fortunate to always get good food & service! I've read about a bad service in the past on many people's reviews, but that hasn't been my experience. Each time, I've been happy!

I grew up staying and fishing there with my family! back in the 1970's & 80's. Great memories, i think all parents should take their kids there to unplug from these dang digital things.

A great place to stop for meal. Service was good, food is average but took an outside table near the creek for great relaxing after fishing Owen’s river meal break.

I went there for lunch on the way back to our rv from jeeping. We were hungry. We had our dog. They said we can't bring our dog in. I said you have a patio can't we bring her there. They said no. We need to place a to-go order and eat on the front porch which was find but her attitude was unkind. When we ate our lunch on the front porch we could see the patio and there was a couple on the patio with their dog. I never said anything to the lady. I felt judged.
