I make every attempt to remain anonymous while reviewing each restaurant.  All meals are paid for by myself.  This way, I can report the most honest and trustworthy restaurant reviews possible. Other recognizable critics frequently get special food and service. I forgo any perks so that my restaurant experience will be similar to yours.

This is a great family place to eat in Dundee and in Sandy, Oregon. The building's exterior and interior is a
Western saloon-style atmosphere which makes you feel like you stepped back into the days of the wild west. The restaurant area has an upright player-piano that is played by a pianist on the weekends. They have an authentic looking Western style, non-smoking, saloon which you can also eat in.  Western line dancing is featured during the week.

If you're looking for a good burger, large salad, ribs, or a place to go for breakfast or Sunday brunch, this is a great restaurant. Almost everything here is LARGE (drinks, burgers, salads and entrees). So bring your appetite! They even feature real old-fashion milkshakes made with "real" ice cream. The fries, however, were not that good, as they were not hand cut and a bit soggy when they arrived.

Their specialty is the many different types of hamburgers on the menu. They have the largest selection of hamburgers that I have seen on a menu. There are even pizza burgers. Just about anything you could desire on a burger - there is literally something for everyone!
