Best Tri Tip and Wild Game
It is a little ways from here but it is a beautiful drive and worth the trip! A rustic local favorite with the best Tri-Tip sandwiches served outdoors on Sunday afternoons, and their main dining room features an eclectic menu with wild game. It is near Lizard Mouth and can be a great way to spend your Sunday afternoon by grabbing sandwiches and going on a hike.
