Considering that there are only 2 places to eat on Mt. Charleston (and they have a captive market) I was surprised by the quality of our food. It was a bit expensive ($11 for an appetizer sized portion of chicken fingers) but the portion sizes were generous, everything was fresh, and it all tasted really delicious. I had a club sandwich with the homemade chips (yummy with the ranch dressing). The breading on the chicken fingers had a perfect texture and a good chicken-to-breading ratio. The burger was juicy and tasted like fresh (not frozen) beef... but I only tried 2 bites of that, so I may not be the best judge.
Oh, and the fries were perfectly cooked! Just crisp enough on the outside and mealy/ fluffy on the inside with a good amount of salt. And the slaw had a cool, tangy dressing and a nice hint of fennel.
The waitress was very friendly, and didn't mind when we changed tables to come inside. We sat on the deck to enjoy the clean, cool mountain air and then realized that the clean, cool mountain air was actually kinda cold after being in the 100 degree valley. So we moved inside and watched all the cute hummingbirds hovering around the window-hanging bird feeders.
