What a great find! Menu is simple, hot dogs are juicy and delicious, drinks are great, so many things to look at. Going back for a burger next time. Mimosa was the best! The drive in the hills was nice from Marysville, and the weather was perfect to sit outside. You can walk around some and take a look at all the items they decorated the place with. They are rare and really cool. As mentioned before the menu is simple and the prices are great. We usually share but we didn't this time. The atmosphere is more for adults I'd say rather than family with children. Low lighting and natural lighting was nice. I will never forget the 10 inch hot dog though. Plane or supreme we all thought they were delicious. The drinks were not expensive I thought $6. For a Mimosa was pretty good providing the sparkling wine bottle to go with the orange juice was a treat. Make your Mimosa weak or strong, I poured and drank, poured and drank to get that full flavor everytime. :) Gotta visit this place if you are ever going up 174. We ventured out for a bike ride to find a place to eat, and this is the place we will probably visit more often.

I had the cheeseburger, and it was very tasty. The employees here like what they do and it shows. Plenty of room in the lot out front and available places at the bar and at tables inside and out to dine. Clean bathrooms and cool decorations throughout the restaurant.

Very cool and laid back roadhouse bar and grill with a nice selection of craft brews, good burgers and friendly service at the bar! Plenty of motorcycle parking was a plus. Good job!
