The best thing about this place is the panoramic view of the Sangre de Cristos. Had a beer and a beef burrito. Red chile here is Texas chili, not SW red chile, just an FYI. Numerous items to chose from here, but stopping by for a beer and to gaze out at the Wet Mountain Valley and the SDG’s beyond is a definite draw.

We had never been here before, and after hearing it was good, we thought we’d give it a try. Located inside a bowling alley, we would have guessed it’d be busier for a Sunday. We sat at the counter, admiring the checkered floor. That sure sets the expectation! A yummy soda-fountain style! We waited and waited, of course we needed a menu. Drinks were not offered. Finally got menus and ordered drinks. We watched as the two girls busied themselves. I’m sure it was idle work. Trying to get their attention, we waited to order. We watched and waited more. No polite banter about the weather, visiting, do we bowl… nothing. I thought, hey, can the other gal take care of us. Nope. Okay, we thought, maybe we picked the wrong day, they were new…. something. Short staffed maybe? Nah, not that busy for a Sunday lunch. More people trickled in to eat and to bowl. Heavens, what takes so long? We saw other orders get delivered, and I had hoped she would notice us. Waiting and waiting……waiting and waiting. just to place orders. I walked around looking at 4H photos – oh, look how old. Do they not sponsor the local kids anymore? Sheeeesh. A lady that carried the impression of being the owner had her dog in her arms… and walked into the back where the kitchen was. Appalled, I was relieved she didn’t stay long. We both walked to the gaming area… boy, the games sure have changed. Sitting back down, we realized how cold it was – and getting hungry. Finished my iced tea and wanted more. Oh goody, here comes lunch. She sat our plates down very silently. No offer of more drinks. She said nothing. Hmmm, rude. Didn’t even offer ketchup, so I got it myself from the end of the counter. Then, I observed in horror as she berated the other girl working there. Nothing had been dropped or broken – you can always hear that. No idea of a name but had a high forehead with glasses. Poor girl. She looked like she wanted to cry or just escape. No wonder they’re short staffed. Was this other girl in charge? Geez, I hope not. I munched on fries and my chicken sandwich – meh, not worth the price – hubby said his Reuban was incredibly average. Normally we talk about everything, but he was silent. A clear indicator that his lunch didn’t meet his expectations either. I knew at that moment what that meant. A kerfuffle caught my attention. Some shipping guys came in to deliver something – couldn’t quite make out what it was. This gal – suspecting definitely in charge – admonished the driver for being early. Really, in front of customers? The music did nothing to drown out the tone of her voice. I watched her face – oooohhhhhh, not a nice person either. Never once did she drop by to check to see if our lunch was okay. Nope, no more drinks either. Growing ill over the very obvious *un*welcome feeling, I neglected to finish my sandwich. The check was not delivered – we had to ask the ‘frightened’ girl for it. I waited and waited, just to pay our tab – while she took two phone calls. I just couldn’t see giving the normal tip either. As I sit here now pondering, searching for anything good… well, there wasn’t anything good about it. I hope the owners read this and relieve Kelly G of all duties. I know for sure we won’t go back, not even to give it another try, since we’d never been there before.

Typical bar food you would expect at a bowling alley. We had the nachos grande, fake cheese, bad beef and romaine lettuce?! We also are a house salad with blue cheese that was adequate. The restaurant is clean and well cared for. Don’t think we will be back.
