Luxury travel this is not. Fine dining is difficult to find; homestyle cooking, steakhouses, and the occasional authentic Mexican joint pepper most towns. Casual is the norm—a pair of jeans will gain you entrance to just about any eatery in the area—anything dressier and you'd be out of place. Reservations are helpful during the busy summer months, and remember that some places are closed from November to April.
With dozens of TVs in the dining room and the adjacent sports bar, this regional chain restaurant is a good place to keep tabs on your favorite team. It's known for its wings and bar food, but it also has the area's closest thing to a late-night scene: the bar stays open on weekends until 10 pm.
Opened in 1973 by "Trapper" Hatch, this family-owned diner is decorated with Hatch's old trapping equipment and animal paintings by local artists. Chicken-fried steak and homemade barbecue sauce draw a loyal crowd. People drive out of their way just for a piece of pie, especially the banana cream. Have a slice at the counter with a cup of coffee.
