If I hadn't read about this place before I came up on it, I would have surely missed out on a great time and even better meal.
Hit it on auction day, so pickups pulling stock trailers were everywhere. Peeked in on the auction and even if I'd had my western wear on these "real" cowboy ranchers would have instantly spotted me for a city dude. But everyone I met was polite and invited me to sit and listen to conversations and the bidding. Most just sat quietly listening, as I was with little talking. Some of the ranchers just watched with no intention of buying, but admitted that if they spotted a deal they'd come back with a trailer. What a Hoot!
I walked out, following the "dirt" trail on the sidewalk to the cafe door. Inside it was rustic, clean and neat. Perfect! Coffee cups are on the tables when you sit down, so you know they're serious about the important stuff and understand efficiency in saving footsteps.
Families and couples were around me with auction attendees breezing back in coffee cups for refills. Server came right over with coffee, menus and an engaging manner.
Be hungry! Being beef country, I ordered something I rarely see, an omelet with "beef", onions and green peppers, with hash browns and a homemade biscuit. There was a ton of really tasty, fresh ground beef and it was filling. Tried the pork sausage and admit that it was just about as perfect as it gets. Everything was wonderful.
At the table across the small room were two families with skinny young boys comparing their flexed arms. Hilarious! They were very talkative and they competed with each other to chat for a while. Ahhh!
So reasonable and so good, I left a big tip.
In the parking lot, well-trained, hard-working ranch dogs waited alertly but patiently in truck beds for owners to come out.
Can't say enough about this place. This should be a destination if it's an auction day.
Wow! Loved it. Western Americana at its best.
