Long ago, before the restaurant was conceived, this very spot was a meeting place where ranchers from all over the area would get together to share a meal and take a break from their hard work.

You’ll get to choose between two enormous, mouthwatering entrees: an entire roasted chicken, or a massive 32 ounce steak.

There’s also an endless supply of fresh, made-from-scratch bread rolls, beans, and salad, as well as your choice of pink lemonade, iced tea, or coffee to drink. And don’t forget to save room for dessert!
