About This Establishment

The Smash Burger arrives with crackling edges and a juicy interior, the brine of the pickles cutting through the grease. Huckleberry Scones and Biscoties offer crumbly, buttery bites that sing with berry brightness. Pies with ice cream mix that warm-and-cold contrast, while cocktails like the Huckleberry Margarita carry a tart-sweet punch. The deck over the mountains delivers a warm, local welcome and a vibe that feels like a hug from a longtime friend.
