Super casual counter service, with usual pub faves as well as some local flavors. We went with the: - hog wings - small but meaty, fried halfway to chicharrones with a Korean sweet sauce on the side, kinda salty even plain on its own - bison cheeseburger - solid burger, excellent and generous fries - brisket sandwich - generous portion of meat, kinda dry so I asked for more huckleberry bbq sauce on the side otherwise not very flavorful. Cole slaw was meh but I don't like Cole slaw (they wouldn't swap for anything else). Again excellent fries! Chased all this meaty salty heavy food with a local brew.

I ordered the wild game chili which was DELICIOUS! The chili had some heat and came with jalapeño cornbread and maple mascarpone. I'm still thinking about this meal and want to know the recipe!!

We are here twice and had wildly different experiences…read more Our first visit here was Thursday evening and the food, service and overall experience were excellent. Our second visit here was Monday evening and the food, service and overall experience was not very good. On Thursday we were given a children's menu, on Monday none was offered. We asked for the BBQ chicken sandwich for my 1 year old, but asked for just the chicken, no bun and the sauce to be on the side. Was served exactly as we asked. On Monday it was served just as it is on the menu, we had to send it back as my baby won't eat any sauce on chicken. Which is why we wanted it on the side so we can continue to try to introduce sauce to him but also get him to eat some plain chicken. On Thursday I had the pulled pork sandwich and fries. It was great. On Monday I had the quesadilla with barbicoa beef. The meat was excellent, but the bottom side of my quesadilla was soggy, not crispy at all and wet when it was served to me. On Thursday my husband had the Dizzy buffalo burger with the cheese curds, he liked it. On Monday he had the Westerner sandwich, he said it wasn't great. He ended up only having a couple of bites. I'm not sure what the difference was, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that hopefully they were just having an off night. Round out the two visits at 3 stars. I'd give them another shot if we visit again since one time was a really great experience.

If you wanted to sit outside, you had to order Togo.

We ordered the burrito, which was a great item to split. They put the cheese on top of the burrito.. and were out of knives, so in order to eat it... we had to pry it apart with the plastic spoon and forks that we got. The chili was a complete disappointment.. I was really looking forward to it.. there was ONE block of meat... again, no knives so you couldn't really try and cut it apart and enjoy it in a few bites either..

Onion rings were hot and fresh, and a half dozen local beers were on tap. Overall the menu is a bit small but decent. The bar area has TVs but is separated from the dining room and no kids are allowed in due to the fact it's a casino in there. Staff was friendly if a little scattered. I'd come back.

As a solo traveler, I am not unused to being treated as an other when dining by myself, but it's extremely disappointing that the restaurant attached to the hotel I'm paying hundreds of dollars to stay at wouldn't serve me because they didn't want to give a two or four top to a party only able to give them $20 maximum. The ironic part? I was just looking to have some fruit and protein and I would have been out of their hair in less than 30 minutes. I wouldn't suggest coming here as a small party and if you're one who wants breakfast at the place you're staying at, I'd also reconsider staying at Ridgeline.

My husband wanted a biscuit breakfast sandwich with sausage - they were out of biscuits. So I got him a bagel breakfast sandwich with sausage instead. I ordered sausage links for my baby, I asked if they had any kind of fruit I could buy for my baby. They said no that they only had bananas for smoothies - which is odd being a place that sells fruit smoothies... For myself I ordered a croissant sausage breakfast sandwich and a mango madness smoothie). My mother in law wanted a lotus energy drink - but they were out of lotus syrup. A few minutes later the gal that rang us up came to our table and let us know they were out of sausage for breakfast sandwiches. Asked what we wanted instead. They still has sausage links, so that's what we had on our sandwiches. When our food was ready they brought everything over except the sausage for my baby - which they clearly forgot to make cause that was a long wait till it arrived (5 or more minutes). Putting food in front of a hungry baby and none of it is for him is not a good idea lol. My husband ended up giving him his sausage and wait to eat his sandwich till they brought more over. I also gave my baby some of my smoothie - the smoothie was good. So, out of several items, and forgot part of our order.... Just seemed a bit chaotic. Food and smoothie was good and the people who work there are nice.

Over the two days, we tried the onion rings, the house salad with grilled chicken, the tuna salad platter, the bison filet mignon, the trout and the chocolate lava cake. The onion rings were great. Very crispy and juicy inside, and some good bites together with the slightly spicy aioli. The house salad was only ok, not a lot of greens, a bit dry, but the chicken was cooked nicely. Tuna salad platter was good, together with the crisps was nice and refreshing. The filet mignon was amazing. Cooked perfectly and a really nice cut. Fries were ok, beans a bit dry. The trout was also great. Nice breading and great light combination with the veggies. The lava cake was over baked and a bit disappointing as there was no molten core.

The trout was fresh but very oily, so much that oil oozed out of it while trying to cut it. The sides were good though. For breakfast, we got the avocado toast with eggs and goat cheese and the smoked trout bagel. Huge portions and delicious flavors. Also good coffee! Yes, it is over priced ($15+ for a breakfast dish) but at least the food was good. The service was friendly and the ambiance was pleasant. We appreciated having this option close by.
