What Trạch Bồ dislikes about Bear Trap Inn:

I had one of their signature burgers cooked to perfection at medium rare, topped with an exquisite egg that was absolutely delightful. It's a charming little spot for enjoying a meal, drinks, or just hanging out near Chapel Rock. I will definitely be returning!
