    Burger and fries
    Megan S.

    I had a burger and fries. They were delicious! My husband had chicken fried steak and wasn't impressed. Staff was very friendly but everything was SO slow. We sat waiting for everything.

    Clearly great home cooked food! Awesome Tri-tip salad, Pulled pork. Homemade potato chips! Homemade croutons on salad! Great food choice in Colfax!

    My second time here. Tuesday 11 AM Ish. I decided on chicken fried steak and eggs. The meat and the batter were good, the gravy was kind of odd almost a mix of brown gravy and southern gravy with a sprinkle of paprika. The potatoes/onion/peppers tasted like the grill itself. The scrambled eggs were perfect. The sourdough toast was good. The coffee was good. The service was excellent. Overall kind of disappointed since the first time I came here it was so good. Maybe a third try to see where I come out on this place.?

    Stopped to see this "world famous " stop - lunch was a club and onion rings. Daughter had grill cheese and fries. Had an order of fresh fruit too. After the meal we realized why it is famous and a must stop for a meal. Service was great and the prices reasonable as well. Lots of good choices. Wines / pizza / breakfast and burgers. Right off the highway 80 and plenty of parking. We will be back.

    Half of a diet Chin burger in homemade roll

    Decided to stop and get a bite to eat before getting too far up the road and saw a billboard that said this place. Place wasn't busy as we got there before lunch rush, I ordered a diet chin burger (1patty) which was more than what I could finish so I came home with half a burger. Fries were nice and hot/crispy. Service was nice, friendly and attentive. Would definitely be back next time through to try another delicious meal.

    Fire. Go here definitely. Server was nice, tasty food. Inside is themed like a cabin. Very cool

    Looks good on the outside it's what's on the inside that concerns me

    I hate to do this but I was extremely disappointed! My family stopped in after driving 7 hrs. It was rated well and overall looked like a good spot! They had a great variety of food. Three of the four of us decided to get burgers. At first the server said that they only have two patties left and that, that never happens. A moment later the waitress said somebody came back with more patties. Thankful cause I really wanted a burger we decided to order! The presentation of the food looked really good when it arrived at the table. I was a bit concerned that my meat wouldn't stay together. I noticed that it had quite a bit of gristle or fat in it. Actually that's an under statement. The fat content was the most I've ever seen in burger in my life, and the size of the pieces of gristle and fat in my burger was literally the size of nickels! I was so disgusted. I only ate fries. I know it wasn't the waitresses fault and I should've said something. Our whole bill cost $127 and we still tipped the waitress $22 for a total of $149. With as much as they charge for these meals, I don't understand why they couldn't get a decent grade of meat!

    Pull pork with sweet potato fries
    Michelle G.

    Service was great ... food was good ..little skimpy on the meat for the pulled pork but the pile high was definitely worth 17. Uncharged for sides was a bit steep at 3 bux a pop. Definitely will stop again when we head this way. We will stick with fries or chips though

    They have a very fun menu. Make sure you read all the items. I ordered the chicken sandwich, got it fried with lettuce, tomato, Ortega chili, cheese, and avocado on grilled sour dough. It came with salsa, which was perfect because instead of fries my husband got the home made tater chips. He ordered the tuna sandwich with bacon. The bacon was thick and crispy and delicious. Service was good, but slow. I like the bar area, and can see this place get very busy and probly loud, but a good time. Food is good, definitely recommend for a nice sized lunch.

    Chicken strips tossed in buffalo sauce

    This place is definitely the highlight of our stay in Colfax. This restaurant is right off the highway and it has great parking, good vibes and great cooking. The portions are huge, which was a pleasant surprise! My friend and I were staying in the area and we wanted to eat somewhere with good food options to fuel us for the trip ahead! We came for dinner and my friend had a burger and I had the chicken strips with buffalo sauce. The chicken strips were a standard size portion and just enough food for me, but the burger was an enormous meal! My friend could only eat half of it and had to take the rest home. Good place for good food and fast service! We would definitely come here again if we are in the area or driving through.

    This place definitely had a homemade cooking feel to it. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered several different items including the clownifornia burger - had a fried egg on it with avocado, chili relleno sandwich - was cheesy and made with sourdough bread, double chin burger - very big with 2 patties and onion rings, turkey dip was fresh and hot, the potato salad was phenomenal and highly recommend it, fries for each meal were great, onion rings and jalapeño poppers were also fabulous. Kids hot dog and corn dog meals were good choices for kids. Can't say enough great things about this place. Very tasty! Has the hole in wall and homemade cooking feel to it. Check them out!

    The food and service were amazing. They even ask you how you want your burger cooked. I'm definitely making it a frequent spot to eat at.

    Great place to charge your EV! I was amazed when I walked in…read morethis restaurant. It was nicely updated friendly waitress great service! I had a delicious Baja omelette It had chorizo bell peppers with a side of potatoes. Nice and clean restaurant! I highly recommended this place! Sooo we drove up to Reno and just came back for dinner!

    We are locals and come here often- the service and food have always been great and we usually don't…read morehave any complaints but this last visit we started to wonder why our food was not up to the usual standards. I get the same thing every time because it's good but I was a little disappointed on our last visit. The bacon was really undercooked- with big pieces of fat that were clearly not rendered. This is the first time I've experienced this in the last year and a half. I should have sent it back. My husband asked for his burger medium rare as he always does and his was wayyyy over cooked. He didn't even finish it and he ALWAYS eats everything! We have always had great service and never had any issues- There aren't many consistently good restaurants up here so I'm hoping next time they get it right because it's got a good vibe and the beer is always cold. We will be back but next time we will double check our food before attempting to eat it.
