Great BBQ however best new York strip in town. Also try their fried mushrooms you wont regret that and the Ranch dress is very good.
Now if you happen to be here on a Saturday and want possibly the best BBQ you ever had. Look up Ridgewood Brothers BBQ. its close to the hobbit house. It is a local food truck and crazy good BBQ. Best to get their early or order within 24 hours ahead of time. People do travel form other towns for this upto 2 hours away. But its a food truck so you would want to take it to the park close by or back to the hobbit house.

Good breakfast place though they have great things for lunch and dinner. Part of the seating is a old train cart. Also a train whistle on the outside with long cord locals like to pull coming and going out of restaurant..
