A Mountain Tradition

Serving the Sierra Nevada handcrafted burgers, and scratch-made favorites. Honest food, warm hospitality, and mountain charm.

I am not a big hamburger eater but this place is special I really did love these burgers! They were tasty and had a great amount of spices and flavors. My family and I enjoyed our burgers and so did our dogs (doggy patty) We are here 2x while we were camping on the river. We came on a Tuesday and there was only one employee doing everything cooking and cashiering she was really nice and got the job done. Then came back on Saturday as we left town, 2 employees then. This place is not your typical fast food spot so don’t expect your food to be ready with in minutes it probably takes a good 10 min, while we waited we were able to enjoy the nice scenery outside and take in the sun. Definitely will be back when we are back in town. Best part of all dog friendly!

What a great local burger spot! The McNallys burger with their secret sauce is a must. The large shoe string fries are salted perfectly and are big enough to share. Friendly service with nice views out front and misters when it’s hot!

Smash burgers are very good. Fries are perfectly seasoned too. Nice ladies work hard for your grub. It's worth the stop.
