“ We went down the street first...and left after 2 minutes, walked down to the meat market and received a warm and welcoming greeting by Justin. The food was very good and the service was beyond appreciated. Justin and his grandmother made us feel like family. He even pulled up a chair whipped out his guitar and wow!!! What a voice. He knocked it out of the park. We will never forget last night. Thank you...and we WILL be back !!!! ”
“ Old fashioned small town love and hospitality! After travelling for 18 hours I arrived late at night hungry and looking for a meal. The kitchen was closed but because they didn’t want me to go to bed with an empty stomach they reopened the kitchen and fed me off menu, the best short rib tacos and home made banana cream pie I’ve ever had. The staff welcomed me and stayed around chatting about what’s important in life and what they were up to. I forgot how much I missed this kind of experience. People that genuinely care. Sadly, it’s rare these days. And to top it off the register was closed so the owner said enjoy a meal on me. The world needs more of this! Thank you for a remarkable night ”
“ Good food and good-sized portions. Service was friendly but seemed a bit slow. Decor is interesting. We would dine here again. ”
“ Charming small town steakhouse. Food was flavorful and drinks were excellent. Warm cozy atmosphere. Specials are always good. ”
“ Our food was so good, we forgot to get a picture. The service and atmosphere is fun and friendly. Definitely a great addition to Siskiyou County! Highly recommend ”
“ The food is exceptional, prepared by a wonderful chef. The restaurant itself is part of a Mercantile building, which was built in 1898. The restaurant and bar were built into what was formerly where the employees of this lumber company town bought all their meat. It’s very charming. You won’t be disappointed. ”
