This is the ideal spot for a birthday celebration!

We ordered the Alabama Hot Brown with fries and the 8oz Sirloin paired with macaroni and cheese. Both dishes were enjoyable, but the standout of the meal was definitely the Raspberry ice cream dessert, which was simply amazing!

It was a drive of about an hour and fifteen minutes, which we expected, and it was worth the drive. Using a paper map would have been a challenge. The restaurant does not take reservations.We arrived at about 12:30 on a Friday and were told there would be a wait of 45 minutes to one hour. There is an app with theURL that goes to a cell phone that tells one how many people are in front and how long you have been waiting. In our case, itwas 36 minutes so shorter than we anticipated. While waiting, we walked around the area checking out a Chevy Truck with a 1945tag installed, a 1946 Farmall tractor, and various items for sale including whiskey barrels, artwork with a rustic, ruralflavor, and a general store. While in the store, one of the employees had a baby lemur curling around her neck and staring atthe visitors. Frankly, seeing the baby lemur and how the kids in the store reacted to it made the drive worthwhile. Our serverwas Elisha. She was very helpful and delightful to talk with and provided outstanding service during our meal. Despite myquestions and taking up her time, she was very good natured and enjoyed the exchange. Every restaurant server should be as goodas Elisha was on this occasion. I asked her questions she probably gets a few times every day such as what is a brace ofquail? and what is airline pheasant? I wanted to ask those questions because, while I eat in a restaurant almost every day,these are unusual items on the hundreds of menus I have used in restaurants around the world. More importantly, she accuratelydescribed what the terms meant (airline means wings of a pheasant and a brace of quail is two pieces). A brace of quailtranslates, roughly, into about 1/4 of a chicken. The seasoning on the quail was excellent--it was peppery with a slight tasteof salt. It was cooked so that the skin was crispy but not burned. The flavor was very good. If it were not

We picked up a bottle of red wine on the way. Upon arrival, we were informed there might be a 25-30 minute wait, so we settled around the large fire pit and enjoyed our wine. To our delight, we got seated in just 15 minutes at a table by big windows overlooking roaming bison, elk, water buffalo, and more. We started with the delicious Pimento Cheese bites and then proceeded to order bison steaks, while one guest opted for the Patty Melt. The steaks were cooked perfectly, and the baked potatoes and onion rings were also great. While we were dining, the owner announced a new addition to the family—a kangaroo—and brought it in for everyone to see. The little one was swaddled and became the star attraction of our lunch. After our meal, we took a stroll through the viewing area for $5 each, which we thoroughly enjoyed. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend a stop here for great staff, delicious food, and a unique way to spend a lunch or dinner!
