in the last weekI loved this place. Nice quite place with good service. My wife loved their shrimp cocktail and calabacitas. They have speciality burgers (Venison, Elk and Bison). The will make Allen's burger which is a green chili burger with spam, red sauce on a bison burger. It does not get better than this

in the last weekSmall cafe with seating for about 28. I got their green chili cheeseburger, comes with old style homemade fries, not frozen. The burger is a two hander, large bun, made to your order. Food came quickly to my table & I was checked on, to make all was fine. Chips & salsa provided while you wait for your order.

3 weeks agoFriendly staff with quick service. Chips and salsa came out as soon as we sat down. My husband would love to see some vegetarian options with their burgers because they look delicious. If you come in hungry, you will definitely leave feeling full. Worth the stop.
