Overview

About This Establishment

Old Town Cafe serves homestyle American staples in a warm, cabin-inspired setting near the West Entrance. The Mountain Man breakfast delivers an 8oz flat iron steak with two eggs and crispy hashbrowns, while the Old Town Burger offers a juicy patty with melted cheese and fresh toppings. Biscuits and Gravy arrive with freshly baked biscuits and a hearty country gravy that coats every bite. The full bar with beer on tap backs up the plate for a satisfying finish.
