If you are talking about Porkchop John's, meh. I was not impressed.
During my 2016 stay there, I had the time (crushed Pipestone Pass without ever going into my lowest gear.) to take a nice walk around Uptown or Oldtown, or whatever it's called. Saw the building that had been home to the last operating brothel. IIRC, it was not shut town until sometime in the '80s. The historical society re-stenciled the Address on the outside of the building but forgot the first "R" in "Mercury."
Had my usual steak at Cassagranda's. When the GF and I were there in 2011, a woman at the table next to us asked her young waitress whether she recommended the chicken or the beef. The waitress responded "Well, I'm a carnivore, so I always go for the beef."
