Overview

About This Establishment

Miner's Breakfast hits with a crackle of golden hash browns and morning heat that rides the tongue. The ribeye brings a robust sear, but beware the salt—it can lean salty. Chicken Pot Pie delivers depth with a rich gravy and tender fillings, while huckleberry cobbler and ice cream finish on a bright note.
