Dining
Bulldog Saloon rips into your appetite with The BFB With Cheese—a half-pound patty, blistered crust, and melty cheese that clings to fat. Huckleberry Wings snap crisp and carry a bright berry heat from the huckleberry sauce. Buffalo Chicken Salad balances heat and tang with Frank's Red Hot and bleu cheese. Gluten-free buns are available for $2, and the Big F'ing Pitcher keeps the table buzzing.
Local hangout with a rustic vibe offering beer, American comfort food & games on TV.
