This place has an awesome western saloon vibe and the food is unexpectedly super good. Not a long tap list but good local wines and a well stocked bar. Don't miss this spot if you happen to be in or passing through this cool little town.
I got the cali burger and it was AMAZING the prices are so good for some amazing food and the atmosphere is great. Absolutely amazing I’ll be coming here again
Excellent! Small, but packs a punch with great service. Belly up to the bar, sit at a table or check out the patio which has an awesome fire pit. There's also several video poker machines, which are available inside the saloon doors, but it can feel cramped if all machines are in use. Fun drink specials and live music events on the patio. Menu offers a nice variety of tasty food. My favorite is the burgers and fries. Take all the standard types of payments. I've always enjoyed stopping in for a quick drink when passing through.
Fast and friendly service. Delicious food! Comfortable outdoor seating and kids welcome outside. I wish i took a photo of my Bloody Mary it was the best one i have ever had with bacon and all the yummy pickled things!
Fantastic. Food Is Amazing! Service is as far as I can tell has been great for a busy time of day. Louder than what an introvert wants but perfect for extrovert. Bartenders call known people by name. Excellent Amazing Loved the whole experience. I had a shit day and this turned it into a great night! Thank You to your Kind Staff. 06/20/2025 was when we were served. 9 of us rolled up and everyone was happy.
Locals joint, fantastic staff. Historic location with penny tile floor. Great grill menu and good choice of liquors. This a super rural bar worth a stop!
Where has this place been my whole life? We stopped by because my husband has a burger blog, The One Horse Tavern burger was recommended as a must try. The name of the burger we chose was the Cali; pepper jack, bacon and a avocado. I am not sure how big the patty was I am guessing 1/3 lb. We added an extra patty which, later we agreed we didn’t need because it was perfect as is. The top of the bun was branded with the One Horse logo, very cool. The flavor was phenomenal, juicy melt in your mouth savory beefy goodness. Don’t even get me started on their fries! My husband loves pot stickers so we ordered a side along with mozzarella sticks. Both excellent especially the pot stickers, something about the flavor of the sauce and how they are prepared, a standout. We washed our meal down with a Bloody Mary. Of course it was excellent, spicy with the perfect amount of edible adornments. The highlight of our trip was a visit from the owner who toasted our meal with a shot of Fire Ball for the table. If I could give 10 stars I would everything a restaurant should be during this covid weirdness this restaurant has nailed. *Covered and non covered outside seating with plenty of heaters and a big roasting fire pit. *Excellent attentive staff *Impressive menu selection, not too big but well thought out. I am told by a friend the food is consistently excellent. *Amazing cocktails- close to craft style not club. Not sure if they do the fancy big cube. *Atmosphere inside is trendy, lodge style with hipster flair, cooler than I expected. #bestburgers #bestbloodymary #bestoutdoorseating
