Not so good anymore
Mediocre at best. This used to be a great place with wonderful ribs and bbq. Last two times, no ribs, always an excuse about them being used for catering. Server vague on whether prime rib for salad was cooked on site or brought in. Thursday night at 6, not busy, slow but polite service, food was so so, just a shame it’s gone downhill.

Really good good and service!
We ate in the bar so we could watch a football game. They weren't busy so offered us two small tables put together so we could both watch without turning around! Their pork tots are amazing and a perfect dish for two hungry people to split or several to share as an app. We left feeling well fed and taken care of! Will go back when in town.

Excellent food and service
Cami was our waitress. Delightful, friendly, fun, welcoming, top notch service! She only works Friday nights so we chose the right day to visit. Hubby had chicken caesar, large serving with lots of sliced chicken breast and fresh romaine, huge croutons and very delicious dressing. He salt and peppers everything even before he tastes it. They were not on the table and once he took a bite, he never asked. Amazing! . I had the seafood chowder. It was full of seafood, thick and delicious plus focaccia bread and, soft butter, thank you very much! (why do restaurants serve cold butter that won’t spread?) and a side of coleslaw, tangy and creamy. Yum! We are staying 2 more days and will go back for 2 more dinners. If you are in Garibaldi, this should be your first meal out.

Rueben perfection!
Best rueben sandwich my husband and I have ever had. Late lunch midweek we had great service. Fun views of a small fishing port. We even were treated to the Coast Guard helicopter landing and taking off!

Make a reservation
Nothing fancy. Reasonable prices. Was impressed our server, Meg, was knowledgable of gluten and helped my husband with his gluten-free selections. Be sure to make a reservation though as they get busy.
