"Was greeted warmly and made us feel like we were part of the family. Superb food. Wonderful selection of beers. Highly recommend the frosted mug of root beer. A must try on a trip to keystone"

"Service was great for my family and everyone else in the place. All were greeted with a smile and courtesy. Cashier was very polite and helpful. Pulled pork sandwich was much better than expected and kids liked their chicken tenders . We all got fries, which were fresh cut and cooked perfectly. The root beer float with 1919 root beer was delicious and a great way to end the meal. Seating was fine, but is limited."
Stephen Shepard
"A father and son team run this banging fine burger boutique. The burgers are super fresh and the salad was excellent. Yeah, I know who cares about a salad at a burger joint, but there are red and yellow peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes in a side salad. That never happens and when you are on the road getting your veggies is last on your list but these guys made it easy. Oh! And get some Huckleberry ice cream it was unique and awesome. I love getting new flavors when traveling in this was a winner. Yes, the Dairy Queen next door has burgers 2 for 5 bucks. Don't even think about it and eat here."
