| - What a fantastic solo lunch I had today, I thought I had entered some saloon in Dawson city. This place is so garish you can spot it blocks away because it sits on the corner of 1st and 10 Avenue SW and it has a 10 foot wooden Royal Mounted Police statue guarding its entrance. There is the appropriate picnic tables set up on its patio and if you feel like getting your shoe shined there is an enclosed building just for that which I assume functions in the summer time.
The menu is awesome, check out the Raspberry Berry Bison sandwich or Triple AAA Steak Sirloin Sandwich with onion rings garnish. The Buzzard BBQ ribs are braised in beer and they even have more exotic menu items like Coconut Curry Chicken, Seared Yellow Fin Tuna Steak, and Butter Chicken Masala. I dove into the Saskatoon Berry Burger with a delicious chutney sauce and Swiss cheese.
My waitress was on the ball, serving over 8 tables and always one step ahead of me.
The interior could be considered tacky but upon closer look-see I saw what they were trying to do, wagon wheel chandeliers, a sandy desert motif on walls with bull skulls on walls, oil lanterns, and horse shoe coat hangers. The entrance of the adjacent bar had hand towels over the door with different beer labels, and an assortment of beer pulling tabs.
The service was excellent and so was my food, definitely a hot lunch spot downtown for those of you who work in the area.
