| - My brother brought me for a birthday lunch. A small fortune was spent building out this kitschy structure and, admittedly, it was done very well. You can sit at the bar on a tire swing or grab drinks from a small travel trailer situated front and center in the restaurant, ponder canoes hanging upside down from the rafters or watch the game on any of the many HDTVs situated throughout the "campground". Where they fall down is on the food. We ordered buffalo wings for an appetizer- they were fatty and soft, drowning in some kind of sweet and sour "Korean sauce". Our server highly recommended the ribeye sandwich which is served with blue cheese crumbles, arugula and sautéed onions, so we both ordered it. It looked good and tasted fine until the third bite which rendered a mouthful of greasy fat. I opened it up and realized it was a full 12 oz ribeye on a roll, MASSIVE layers of lard and all. I understand that ribeye steaks are fatty - that's what makes them tasty. However, if I'm eating one as a steak, I trim the big fat off. Otherwise a forkful of it is just gross. It's no different in a sandwich, and was thus surprised that more effort wasn't made on this $19 meal. See photo for visceral details. They did redeem themselves with an interesting s'more desert, complete with homemade marshmallows and graham crackers, served with a small personal campfire to roast them over.
