Overview

About This Establishment

Showdowns brings Western comfort with a camper vibe and live country tunes. Campfire Trout delivers a delicate flavor with garlic butter, grilled fillet topped by tomatoes and onions; the Rack of Ribs collapses off the bone with smoky depth; the Ribeye stays juicy with a clean char. Outdoor lawn seating adds a campfire crunch to the air, and portions are generously hearty. Walk-in only means you’ll want to swing by early, especially on weekends.
