Rattlesnake Saloon

"This is definitely a popular place. If you mention the area, someone is going to recommend eating at the Rattlesnake Saloon. We came for lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant wasn't busy, but the campground was swarming with ATVs and dirt bikes. After a short wait, we were taxied down to the rock shelter in which the restaurant is built. No water was flowing over the rocks, but the place was still cool to see. The service was good, but the food was really lackluster. The cheese sticks were standard frozen/fried cheese sticks. Not bad, but $9 for 5 is pretty steep. "The Duke", the popular "Rustler" burger with fried jalapeno and bacon added, really tasted like a microwaved gas station burger with pre-cooked bacon added. The "Buckaroo", a ham, turkey, and cheese, was equally unimpressive. I would be willing to pay more for a great dining experience in a cave, but this place is all atmosphere, no food. It's worth experiencing once, but I'll probably not be back."

"Very pet friendly. Service was outstanding. They even brought a water bowl for our dog and a separate plate for him to eat. You can not take your pet into the gift shop however. Take a few bucks with you the driver that takes you from the parking lot to the saloon works for tips. We ordered the tombstone platter and it was massive. The 2 of us ate all we could and left with 4 to go boxes. Lol. Great food great atmosphere."

"On a hot day, even the outside seating was nice and cool. My brother in law did say that his nachos were really stale. He was disappointed. My BBQ sandwich was good, salad was nice cool and fresh. Service was good."

"This place is such a unique experience! The cave is beautiful and I am so thankful that it is shared with the public. The only way to access the cave/saloon is by shuttle (a pick up truck with stairs to the bed and bench seats). The wait time at the shuttle stop was pretty quick, even at peak visiting time on a Saturday. The food was delicious, service was great and atmosphere was awesome! Can’t wait to come back!"

"This place is amazing! It is very unique and is a beautiful venue located in the cleft of a mountain. It's almost a cave. I visited on a very hot August day and it was so cool and inviting. The food is delicious and there are large portions at great prices. At night, there is live music or karaoke. This place has been open for many years and I had never heard of it. Don't pass up the opportunity to visit. It is well worth the time."
