"We stopped by there after a local event nearby. There are not many dined options. This place popped up our searching. Very chill place. It looks like filled with local cowboys and family costumes. We ordered a burger, steak salad, and glasses of beer. Both foods are tasty and great. Service is good, too. Price is very reasonable, even if CA. We are happy to add this place on our list for road trips."

The real kicker, every person with me had an astounding flavorful delicious meal. I had a pork ribeye special. It was unique and tasty. I could not stop eating it. I would dine here again anytime. Absolutely fabulous. Kudos to the staff and five stars for the Chef."

"Update: They hit it out of the park again!!! Food (Amazing) Service (Spectacular)...Thank you, Liz! Your warmth and hospitality were so much appreciated!!! Compliments to the chef, also! We'll be back again!! A great place! The staff there are very friendly and welcoming. We had an amazing Margarita Chicken Salad (mixed greens, grilled marinated chicken breast, black beans, corn, Avocado, onions tomatoes, Cotija cheese, cilantro, and tortilla strips, with Chipotle Ranch Dressing); the Bacon Blue Cheese Burger (Super Rare! As requested), and a side of Onion Rings. All of these food choices were phenomenal! We will definitely stop again on the return home! Shout out to Shea, our server; she was delightful!"

"Staff was super friendly, knowledgeable about the area and attentive. I sat at the bar and it wasn’t that busy. Such a cute pond and creek nature area out front!! I had the half rack of ribs with baked beans, coleslaw and a side salad. The highlight is the baked beans. Nice spice with chunks of peppers and bacon. The rest of the food was a little more than what you would expect. Ribs were fall off the bone tender. Side salad had an array of toppings. Full bar. One of the few places open later in Yreka. Some gluten free options. For the price I wish there wasn’t styrofoam takeout boxes."

"Went to Jefferson roadhouse today. Was not disappointed food was absolutely perfect. Not to mention we had the best waitress in the place Lisa she was so friendly and nice. It’s hard to get customer service with a friendly and happy person serving you. When I go back I will be asking for her for sure. Plus the chef that was working today was the best. Definitely received the A+ team today."

"My birthday celebration was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to our road trip from down south for dinner here! The Parmesan halibut dish has earned a permanent place in my heart. The bar tender's thoughtful gesture of creating a special shrimp cocktail, despite it being removed from the menu, left me in awe. The only bump in the road was that my hubby detected an unusual taste in his coleslaw, suggesting it had gone bad. Upon notification, the waitress offered a replacement, which my hubby politely declined, having already indulged in his steak. Nonetheless, she efficiently ensured the cook disposed of the offending coleslaw. This minor blip aside, if you're ever in Yreka, this restaurant is an absolute treasure worth discovering!"

"Since new ownership this restaurant has truly taken a turn for the best. Popped in for happy hour on a slow Tuesday, the appetizers were delicious, super fresh and not overly heavy. We had wings that were perfectly cooked and sauced. Cheese curds, and Zucchini sticks. The zucchini was fresh cut and not frozen. The drinks were delicious. HANDS DOWN the best bloody mary I’ve ever had. Pablo was our bartender and he was fantastic. So nice to sit down and have a 5 star experience at this restaurant."
