A restaurant with reasonable food at a more modest price. Has a very nice outside deck if the weather is right. The fried buffalo chips are... addicting.

Drinks & Nightlife
It really is just down the street. If you need to catch a sports game or just grab a beer, this joint does the job. Nothing fancy by any means, but a solid watering hole. It's a sports bar.

A beautiful drive running along the mountains. If you're traveling across the country, we highly recommend taking this road for at least a little while. It's 15 minutes away, ask for directions!
