Do not sleep on the elk sliders. The rabbit-rattlesnake sausage was mighty tasty as well. Everything was great, all the way through the churro dessert. I dig it.

I found out about this restaurant the other day and wanted to try it for brunch. The building is from the late 1800s. It has been converted into a western boutique restaurant. The menu is very eclectic, but I went specifically for the 16 ounce prime rib that was only $20. I can say it was one of the best prime ribs I’ve ever had. And the value was amazing our server, Jake, did an excellent job of advising us about the menu. It was an excellent server as well. I highly recommend this restaurant not only for brunch But for dinner.
