Hearty, homey, American food (looks like Montana log-cabin.) Excellent for breakfast, lunch and early dining. Ask for the back patio in fair weather.

Personally, I recommend trying the closer, better, family-owned and operated The Well Cafe instead. Mentioning this chain for the brand addicts. A Subway and McDonald's are neighboring options in the Albertson's shopping center.

Everything Else
Opened in May, 2021, but already offering some of the world's best beers. The founder and original father and son brewers at Alpine Beer Company now own and operate their true family craft brewery and tasting room, without outside ownership. New beer names, but soon to be classic. IPA heaven, with other fine brews too: lager, blonde, red to stout. Outdoor tables are in the back. May bring food from elsewhere, such as Tapatio's.
