    We had a very nice lunch here. My prime rib sandwich was large and very tasty. My friend's hamburger was also good. The woman working there was friendly and seemed to know all the other customers who were there.

    100 year old bar, still going strong. My grandfather used to frequent it. Buchanans were there often. Get yourself an artifact and buy a shirt from them.

    We went to the shows 2nd day performance on June 2nd. It felt like you were in an old west town! For all the food, exceptional & attentive service & of course, the super hilarious show with unbelievable talent, the prices are well worth it. Make sure to bring plenty of cash for your servers tip, they deserve it. Such a funny show with music, dancing, stints and jokes! You have to go.

    We received outstanding service from the female bartender at Sneaky Pete’s. She was just about to close for the day on a slow Sunday evening when she saw six hot and tired motorcyclists pull up looking for a place to cool down and get something cold to drink. The place is nothing fancy, but I would go back because of that bartender.
