Love the burgers, fries, beer outdoor area with chalk wall for kids to draw on... During busy and holiday weekends try to go off hours to this or any restaurant as by 5pm they often have a bit of a wait. This place takes your cell number though and the wait is usually not as long as they say.

This is a very short walk from our Village cabin, and a great place to walk to grab a pizza to heat at home, healthy organic high-quality snacks, drinks, food, and even fire wood.
