Wouldn't come here, I'm wondering if they are rude to people from out of town on purpose. Next time I would just put a sign up that visitors will not be welcomed and treated poorly. The girls working were so unbelievably rude. After the snarky "what do you want" at the start of the night, that should have been our sign to leave. The service was very slow, they were busy but met with attitude every time we got another round. At the end of the night we got our bill and luckily someone in our group caught that we were charged $25 for a trucker hat which none of us requested to purchase. We brought this to the girl's attention and her response was "well that's why I told you to check the bill." In a sarcastic and rude voice. I strongly believe based on this interaction that they charge unsuspecting out of town visitors for their merch and hope that people won't notice and then they just pocket the money? We then asked for a receipt which we never received.... Shady. I really cannot get over how rude the staff was and can't wait to try other places in Murphy's and never return to this establishment. Pretzel was yummy though. So they get two stars just for the pretzel.

Why I am giving them a five star review…read more 1. They love pets that can handle a patio with other dogs. 2. The cook (Gayle's husband) owned an amazing restaurant for 20 years 3. Their backstory is awesome (talk to them). You will want to support them and get them the props they deserve. 4. This place has so much potential and if you have patience, you won't be disappointed in the food. It's great. 5. understand they they are slow. Just care enough to lend a hand or help them become the great restaurant they could be. 6. We loved getting to know gayle and she was such a lovely human.

We reviewed the menu, ordered drinks. Beers were good but nothing to brag about. We ordered food - two burgers, pulled pork sandwich, two pizzas and kids chicken tenders. It took nearly 45 minutes. We watched others who came in after us get their food. My assumption was they were trying to serve our whole party at the same time. Food was average. Nothing stood out. It got busy while we were there and they were seriously under staffed. The bartender/waiter, and another woman bringing food out from the kitchen was it. We wanted to like it but it was average. We were in town for the holiday weekend so maybe our review won't matter but I wouldn't come back for average food and slow service. There is potential.

Huge shoutout to our bartender, Ginger, who was an absolute sweetheart and went above and beyond to give us a wonderful experience. The Lube Room is now a mandatory stop for us whenever we travel through Ebbetts Pass or vacation in the area!

Their carbonara was so good I forgot to snap a photo! They make it with local guanciale aged for six months, and local duck egg yoke. Amazingly fresh and similar to what I had in Rome. Their burger also beat the one I had at the steakhouse and many other places. The smoked ribs were top notch as well. They change their menu frequently, so you gotta be sure to check their website. If you're looking for a beautiful patio space near the creek and you care for good food but not the fancy stuff, go no further. They serve in paper plates. You order at the counter and pickup your food when it's ready. Enjoy!

The staff? Absolute gems behind the bar, friendly, sharp, and clearly masters of their craft. They'll recommend a drink as easily as a good read, and somehow nail both. The vibe is what really strikes gold though. Between the shelves of books and the historic touch of the original cash register (which deserves its own drink special, honestly), the whole place feels like stepping into a story you don't want to end. Come for a drink, stay for a chapter... and probably another round.

Even though it was late on a Tuesday the patio was still busy. We got a nice table outside because it was a beautiful day and we had our GSD with us. Shared the beet salad and the chicken burrito and also a kids hamburger with fries for the pup ( fries were for us). PROTIP: We took the option to split each dish by the kitchen and although it cost a couple bucks more, you get a little more of everything! Beet salad was solid with perfect allocations of all ingredients. I would say it was a bit heavy on the dressing but I like minimal dressing and my partner said it was perfect so there you go. The burrito was "wet" and delicious! Lots of flavor fresh ingredients and very saucy. Only thing it lacked was a little heat. Ask for tapatio if you like a little spice. The hamburger by the way, was larger than a normal hamburger you get on the kiddie menu. And the fries were piping hot and fresh. Our dog loved the burger as he should and we downed all the fries. Highly recommend and will be back!

When the dish was placed before me the bread slid to the other side of the white dish that had no other accompanying garnish like a piece of lettuce or parsley. It was one, maybe a 2" x 5" very thin piece of sourdough toast. Hardly a snack. Bacon was obviously cooked hours before and very overcooked. This dish was hardly appetizing as it was covered by three slices of very crispy bacon which fell to the side, revealing about four microscopic chips of tomato and 4 of avocado. The avocado was over ripe and black and I could barely see the yellow tomato. I was very disappointed in the visual appearance of this dish, to say the least! And the ingredients were barely present to illicit any flavor. I was given silverware, but upon trying to cut the toast the whole thing fell apart. I pieced it together and used my hands. Now, I know fresh food items are expensive, but this item in no way warranted the price of $16.75! I do not recommend this very busy, seemingly popular eatery.

The outdoor covered area holds multiple tables and the tables can host a few to up to maybe 10 people. The burgers, soup, garden salads, walnut/chicken/cranberry salad, fish n chips were all delicious and the portions were large. I did switch out my fries for sweet potato fries and they were great. But the best things were the Brussels sprouts (OMG) and blackberry cider. I was so glad the server suggested the cider - and it's on tap!!! We typically go in the winter to eat here and found it to be a good place to grab a casual bite. But the vibe in the summer is so different and wonderful. We'll be back anytime we are in the area!

My friends and I drove into Twain Harte to grab lunch over the weekend - the one place we wanted to…read morecheck out was closed, so we decided to go to The Rock instead. We decided to sit outside on the patio area which was nice, but also very loud. They have plenty of tables inside, a smaller patio area plus the larger one with TVs and games for kids - so lots of seating! When we were seated, our waitress said it would be about 35 minutes before food would arrive. We decided to stay since we were not in a rush to get anywhere. We ordered drinks that took a bit to come out and for food, I ordered the Cranberry Gorgonzola Salad, my friends ordered the Chicken Wings and Fish and Chips. Our food did not come out at the 35 minute mark, we actually ended up waiting 51 minutes. Waiting almost an hour for your meal is wild -- our waitress did check on us a couple of times, but I just cannot get past the wait - 35 minutes turning into 51 is a long time to wait. Now if the food had been worth it, I probably would have been fine with the wait, but it unfortunately it was not. The chicken on my salad was iceberg cold - it was also in larger chunks so a few pieces were tough to chew and overcooked. Overall, staff were very nice, but based off the wait and food - I would not want to come back. Maybe I ordered the wrong item, but after waiting almost an hour, I can't see myself coming back.
