Beautiful old building with cool decorations (I loved the Buffalo head). The service was amazing, they were happy to accommodate my mom in her wheelchair and offered a booster seat without asking. And the Bison Burger was the best I ever had. I order them a lot and it was cooked and flavored perfectly. If you are ever in the area 100% worth the stop.

Update November 2025
Went for dinner. Menu changed. Prices are disproportionate to the quality. Will return for lunch and breakfast, but dinner menu is just not worth it. New pictures of dinner menu posted.
Update July 2024
WINS
Steamers–$22
Yikes! These are incredible. Creamy garlic sauce with bits of bacon and tomato. Thick cut toast. Nearly ordered a second bowl to go.
Rib Sampler — $22
They upped their price on most things. Sampler used to be $15. Traditional still good. Kung Pao has changed sauces over the last year. It’s ok.
SERVICE
Outstanding. Already great service just keeps getting better.
FAILS
Grilled Shrimp –$20
DO NOT order the grilled shrimp. Uber disappointing. Tiny. Super tough. Pic shown is of a shrimp on a soup spoon for size reference. Definitely not worth $20. Save your money and get another round of steamers.
Rosemary Garlic Fries — $12
Meh. Beefsteak fries were just not that good. Not worth the price. Chunks of garlic. Rosemary on top. Just not worth it. Regular fries or SPFries are better.
Overall still a solid place to eat. As a note, inflation has unfortunately hit here too. Everything is up across the board about $2. The ribeye is $54. It was perfectly cooked. Delicious. Just seemed kinda small. Said 14 oz. Lando had their 16 oz for cheaper.
………………
Classic place with new vibes. The food is still outstanding. An easy ride outside of Three Forks gets some incredible fried green tomatoes. They are classic and delicious. Ribs were on point and traditional. The woolzies fried chicken sandwich was definitely worth the drive. Little bar and casino on other half of the restaurant. Great service and planning to go again to get some steaks for dinner.

Casual dining, very welcoming and friendly staff. This place is so busy on the weekends and only 2 waitresses . They never stop, they seat you, take your order, bring your order, take your payment and clean the tables and reset. Oh ya they make your salads in the back. We left them a well deserved big tip. Plan to make an evening of it because it’s a long wait for your food! Pretty much everyone gets the ribs and there’s a reason for it. They are amazing!!! I’ve lived in Texas and they have great BBQ Ribs and I have to say these Ribs are definitely up there in flavor, juicy, tender deliciousness Go… Relax…and order the Ribs!

I went years ago, before the new ownership, so was nervous to come back, but it was delicious! The ribs are just as good as before! My friend had the ribeye that was also cooked perfectly and very good. Not $50 worth, but very good. The servers were friendly and attentive, and I’ll be back again for sure! We were there while there was a musician in the bar area, and that was pretty loud. We thankfully sat at the opposite end of the restaurant so we could talk fine, but I felt bad for the patrons closer to the bar that were there for dinner and not the music.

Great ribs, fun place.
We enjoyed our time.
Tips:
Reservations: highly recommended on the restaurant side.
Bar side: different menu, same ribs, lower prices. No reservations.
Williams Bridge: nearby fun drive if you are in Willow Creek.

Uniquely relevant to the upcoming food scene north of Ennis and locals are upping their game with delicious selections such as their fried green Roma tomatoes and kung Pao fried ribs ! If it’s meat between your buns, it has to be In & Out with the special sauce

The absolute best Mushroom and Spinach Omelet that I have ever had in my life! The fruit that came with it was perfectly rippened. The Campers Hash was also to die for! And the service was wonderful!

Kim was our server and she went above and beyond to make our meal and overall experience excellent! I just moved here to Willow Creek and she welcomed me and made my boyfriend and I feel very welcome. Our glasses never went dry, the cooking staff went above and beyond to cook us our meal to just the way we asked even though it was early for dinner service.
I’m super excited to be living in such a small town that doesn’t skimp on food or services just because we are off the beaten path.
