We were seated immediately which was awesome seeing as it was 4th of July weekend. We ordered the spinach and shrimp dip for an appetizer and we ate that up immediately.

Overall very good and filling. Slickers is always a good time with friendly customers and staff. I've never had a bad experience here!

Online it says they close at 3 pm, we were there at 1:30 and they said they were getting ready to close but could serve us so we were grateful. I ordered the Rueben sandwhich, it comes with a pickle and potato chips. When I got it I didn't see the pickle. It ended up being two very wet pickle slices under my sandwich which made my bread super soggy on one side. So make sure you ask for it to be separate. It was just okay. My hubby got the spaghetti and meatballs and he said it was good. We ordered fried mushrooms for an appetizer and they were delicious.

We ordered roast duck with vermicelli noodles and roast pork. My husband loved the roast duck. It was cooked to medium rare. I am not a huge fan of duck meat so I didn't try it. I ordered roast pork to medium. I got medium rare. They roasted it a bit more and it tasted delicious. The combination with saffron rice and beans works really well with this dish. Highly recommend it. The service was slightly on the slower side. We could have got in and out in an hour but we had to wait long to get our check and to go box.

The food was excellent and unique. The quick pickled salad was great. The Thai duck noodles were really good. They recommended the duck on the medium rare side.

There is a separate bar area which seemed really nice too. Looking forward to returning someday.

Bartender was friendly and chatted with us for a quick minute as he served a large crowd. The burgers that went by as we stood there looked scrumptious and huge. I would venture to say the food must be good based on the looks of it and the size of the dining crowd. When we sat outside with the gorgeous view from the upper deck people below were getting pizzas that also looked delicious and I'd say about 18" with fresh looking ingredients. I cannot attest to flavor but the smells were awesome. Next time we will stop later and grab a bite for dinner.

We went early at 5pm. Hostess gave me a hard time when I wanted a better table for my husbands birthday and refused.

No one even said happy birthday to my husband even though I mentioned it a few times. Wait person was great. Not a good special occasion place.

I ordered the garlic Parmesan wings, I never eat wings, hoping that it would have a really strong flavor. Boy was I wrong. There was no flavor whatsoever however, they were cooked perfectly though. I also got a local hard cider and it was amazing. We had to sit at the bar outside because I had my dog with me and there was nowhere else to sit. Service was average nothing amazing. I probably won't try it again.

This was not an enjoyable experience for my family and I at all.

First, I made the rookie mistake of popping by Keyes on a Sunday morning in the fall. The place…read morewas packed, there was a line - but I scored a counter seat right off, and placed my order for a biscuit with gravy, some corned beef hash, and a coffee. This would end up costing my $17 and change, expensive and not a good value. The food was served cold, clearly not made in house, and service was indifferent at best. Go someplace else, like one of the restaurants in Inlet, about 5 miles up canyon. Getting wait staff attention for some coffee was the first challenge and indication of the pending experience. The food took over 45 minutes to come out, even for such a simple order, and the 2 times I was able to grab attention for a coffee refill really felt like I was imposing on someone. The gravy arrived cold - not "was on the warmer for a while" cold, but "we just got this out of the walk-in" cold, and returned from a brief trip through a shower of microwaves barely warmed. The corned beef hash was clearly scooped out of a can on to the grill and was a small portion for the price. All while while trying to inject myself between wait staff and their indifference to get coffee, check, warmed gravy, water refill, etc. 7 minutes after leaving I drove past a few restaurants in Inlet, with less crowding and looking just as quaint as Keyes. I'll try there next time I'm through this area. Definitely not Keyes!
