★★★★★ 5.0 Rebecca O · Mar 2026

Stopped for lunch on a Sunday with our three dogs. Were seated immediately outside on the patio. Waiter was very good, and had several others stop to check on us. One brought each dog a bowl of water. Ordered the Cowboy Burger with a side out outlaw fries. Boyfriend order the same with a side of garlic fries. Sky Kraken & Tangerine Wheat beer, both really good. Food was very good. Different flavors, but really good. They definitely have their own twist on flavor. The atmosphere was nice. (And they have a dog menu as well). Will definitely return in the future and would recommend.

Ordered 2 corn beef hash for take out almost 40 dollars, maybe worth 10 bucks a plate and that’s pushing it. Its delicious but they gave me hardly any for that price.

We arrived at 8 pm on a Friday. Had about a 20 min wait. The Rooster Lemonade was very tasty, and a heavy booze pour. Once we ordered, our food was out in minutes. Generous portions. The biscuit that came with the rotisserie chicken was dry. The potatoes were melt in my mouth amazing, the chicken was fine. My partner had the Chile Verde Tacos and said they were delicious. He was full after two, but had to eat the third. Took a bit longer than I’d like to get the check, but we were on a hurry and most people were hanging out and socializing.
