This place is on the grounds of Giants Ridge so a nice short walk if you are staying there. It was…read moresteamy hot so we ate inside but they have a patio with beautiful views of the ski hill. I chose the Greek salad, one of my favs, and it was a very generous portion full of cucumbers, tomatoes, Kalamata olives and feta cheese, oh and a bit of lettuce - my kind of salad. Very good. Wish I would have remembered to ask for dressing on the side as it was quite covered but still good. The waitstaff was 2 people for the whole restaurant so they were super busy, especially with a couple large tables but they were friendly, warned it could be a bit of a wait and in the end, it was faster than many other restaurants we had been to. No worries there. They did a great job.

Ate at the restaurant after a day of skiing. The overall group vibe was that the Burnt Onion was…read morejust okay. The fettuccine Alfredo was bland, the soup could have bought at Panera, and the fries and Cesar salad is nothing to write home about. The service was excellent! We had a large group and they were very attentive! If you are staying at Giants it's an easy place to eat at, so I wouldn't totally rule this place out.

I have no idea how to get them national recognition so one of those roaming restaurant reviewers checks them out, but they should. SO GOOD. The fries are the best, too! The atmosphere is kind of a hole in the wall, but 100% worth it (and between you and me, it adds to the charm of the place). GO EAT HERE!!

I had the mango chicken salad with poppy seed dressing. It was absolutely excellent, but the mangoes were dried. I get this is Virginia, fresh mangoes are hard to come by. Had the peach custard for desert. The taste was as excellent, but the graham cracker crust was really hard to cut. Everyone else had a wrap - they are big enough that unless you are really starving I'd order a half. This is our new go-to place every time we pass through!

I had the shrimp dinner and couldn't believe how good the shrimp was. Crispy on the outside, shrimp was tender and not overcooked! Side salad was fancy too. Also had the bacon Mac as a side. Was not as impressed with that however. Surprised what you can find in a Northern Minnesota range town.

I visited BoomTown this evening for their Taco Tuesday. I ordered the Boom Boom Pulled Pork tacos…read more I have had these many time before, but tonight they were over the top spicy. I talked to the table next to me who agreed, in fact like me the lady at that table ate almost two of her tacos before she couldn't handle it any more. I told them I was having the same difficulty. One waiter said the tacos should be more "sweet" not spicy. Our waitress said others had complained today regarding the spiciness too. I stopped eating my tacos, chips and salsa, since I couldn't identify where the spice was coming from. When I asked my waitress, who had admitted others were complaining, about a discount since I couldn't finish my food since the heat kept building in my mouth. She stated I couldn't get a discount since it was Taco Tuesday so the food was already discounted. Not pleased. To add insult to injury the lady at the table next to me made the same complaint and she was offered new food. I don't know if it was because her husband made the complaint on her behalf, and I was a table of one? Very disappointed in service and food. Sadly I drove by Thirsty Moose who has amazing food, but picked Boomtown tonight. Regretting that decision.

I do not know how the owner has kept her on all these years. I cannot be the only one who has thought of her as being very rude. She is rude in resteraunt and when I pick up orders as well!
