Charming restaurant in a small town of Columbia. We stumbled upon this historic city on our trip to…read moreArnold. Wanted to take our son gold panning and was pointed in this direction. The hotel isn't currently open (since COVID we were told and regulations since COVID has kept it closed) but is hopefully open again soon with a new ownership. The waitress was really friendly, the inside had a really old historic feel with antiques and antique furniture. The food was hot and fresh. Has your basic American menu with burgers, salads, sandwiches and etc and kid menu. Definitely a cute area to stop by with shops and gold panning.

Please note this restaurant is under new management. The previous operation was a co-op - multiple…read moreinvestors. It apparently did not work. I'm not sure when the transition to new owners happened - March 2026 maybe. Anyway, 4 of us made reservations for Saturday night. We were seated right away by a friendly staff. By the time we left, the restaurant had quite a few diners. This dining room is quite pleasant, pretty much the same as before. Our food was all quite good. The menu is all new - be careful looking at menu photos online - some are from the prior operation. I am attaching current photos. I'm pretty sure the current menu is more affordable and less extensive compared to the prior operation. Nice friendly service. The saloon is separate - we did not try it.

Walked in , felt homie, clean neat with homie touch decorations. This restaurant has both booth and table seating . The waitress quickly took our orders , and food served in 10 mins, photos attached for our dishes. Like the vegetable skillet-- really fresh ingredients, light seasoning, perfect for the hot summer day. Also liked the fries here, freshly fired fresh potatoes, and cheese quesadillas-- cheered kids , also the chicken strips. The portion is generous and price is reasonable. Highly recommended for family with kids, or good appetite for breakfast and lunch . Especially when you homesick, the warm and friendly waitresses and thoughtful services will satisfy by cheering your stomach ^.^

My first time I got the Bison Burger and this past time we all got the Pulled Pork Sandwich special and it was so freaking good. The staff is friendly, and super attentive. I enjoyed the old building and local art on the walls. Pay attention to the specials board because we missed out the first time around by not noticing it until after we ordered. Can't wait to try new specials next time.

what a creative menu!…read more I was hungry for a philly cheese, and the "philly cheese please" hit the spot. Soft tender slices of ribeye, paired with grilled onions, grilled red and green bell peppers and a helping of black pepper was great. No sauce to make it messy and paired with garlic truffle fried was fantastic. Since these were shoe string cut, they were crispy and very crunchy. My SO ordred the fondue burger, and this was delicious as well. Warning the hot cheese will burn you, and hot cheese oil. But worth the burn as this smother cheese on a ciabatta bun was great. This was paired with sweet potato fries. These thick cut sweet potatoe fries are only sprinkled with sea salt, they retained the soft and moist texture just prefect. One order of a passion fruit lemonade, was a great balance of sweet and tart, and came in a very large glass. Pleanty of ice to keep it chill and slowly sip through out the meal. The meal a tad heavier than I thought, I finished my philly cheese, but not the fries (a first) The room is very high ceiling and all these great art works, posters and items on all the walls. TV screen with sports and sounds like sattelite radio running above. Service was very prompt and friendly. They explained the menu and clarified on some points. The specials sounds great, but we opted for a lighter dinner and went for sandwiches and burgers.

Lots of wooden furnishings, and the waitstaff are dressed like they were (I assume) back during the gold rush. When I visited on a busy Sunday, it took awhile to place our orders. I got the chicken wrap and BF ordered a hamburger with avocado and a bowl of chili. The chicken was a bit tough and the wrap had tons of onions. I ended up just eating the chicken and not even bothering with the spinach tortilla. The BF's "extra avocado" was pathetic! I don't even recall how much extra it cost to have it, but definitely not worth it. If it was me, I would have sent it back LOL. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but since pickings were slim, it was OK.

The Restaurant was ok, lots of seating, very roomy.

Waiter gave us a slight adjestment due to something was not right or something, and I know he changed that with out us asking so that was nice, I think they could tell we just were not too happy. The things to do around the property is very cool tho, and even greater for family with kids, they have a rideable train, and alot more.
