This is a hidden gem on the highway, and is a destination restaurant serving prime rib, lobster, and other fantastic dishes on special occasions but for everyday fare their burgers are amazing! The menu is extensive most of the time, though it can be truncated...when they are super busy. The portions are large, and gluten free options are available (burgers, non-burgers, dessert). My favorite is the Blue Mountain Burger with Gluten Free bun & Sweet Potato Fries. When I have room for dessert I go for the Flour-less Chocolate Torte.
The staff is friendly, professional, and the atmosphere is a combination of charmingly rustic, while being conveniently modern. This restaurant and gift shop is operated by 2 people, which is an amazing feat! So if it's a little busy cut them some slack - and if it's not super busy you can chat them up and enjoy their wealth of knowledge about the area and what it offers for travelers.
There are gift items branded with the establishment logo, as well as items which are crafted by local artisans and authors. There are also a selection of convenience store items, drinks in the cooler, camping and personal hygiene sundries.
There are restrooms in parks along the highways btw...seems like that is a sore spot for some that pull in just to use the facility without buying something. The huckleberry ice cream is seriously amazing though so just treat your family and there's no issue, right? What do you think pays for the water, soap, and toilet paper you use in the bathroom? Just buy the ice cream.... ;)More
