new space and revised menu. the new space is on fort morgan road in the small plaza west strip mall next to fort morgan pizza. it is easy to overshoot when driving west on hwy. 180. look for two landmark early warning signs: mile marker 5, and cortez avenue.
this is much smaller than the previous space on hwy. 59 and more "beachy" in its new look. outdoor dining is available on a small porch. several favorite menu items of mine didn't survive the transition, and a few unique dishes i never sampled have been dropped.
three terrific items that that did survive are the fabulous gouda cheese balls, the excellent steak burgers, and the jumbo beef hot dog (alas, brown mustard is still mia!). the fries are a bit too greasy for my taste and slightly limp. another minute in the fryer and better draining would likely resolve this.
there is a new emphasis on fresh seafood, skillet meals, and upscale entrees. an extensive breakfast menu is available until 11:00 a.m. definitely worth the trip.

some unique menu items. had a very helpful server named gail who really knew the menu. the fried chicken sandwich with bacon and asiago cheese was huge, and cost less than $6.00. it was so big i had to take it off the bun because it would not fit comfortably into my mouth.
was disappointed in the oversize nathan’s hot dog, which i ordered "naked" rather than "loaded." it was poorly and quickly grilled with virtually no grill marks, served lukewarm, and the only mustard available was a generic yellow. any decent brown or a good kosher deli mustard would have made a huge difference in taste, as would proper grilling to a hot temperature. some of the best dogs i ever had were in long branch, nj, at max's which has been around since the 1920s, and the windmill. they remain my benchmark.
this place is also, first and foremost, a sports bar. multiple football games were on the five or six large flat screen televisions and the sound was too loud for my taste, especially given there were only a dozen people in the place. i was there in mid-afternoon on saturday.
this place deserves a lot of respect for a unique menu. five styles of bone or boneless chicken wings with diferent sauces, fried gouda cheese balls (very popular according to gail), smoked bass dip, blackened alligator bites with aioli, a classic caesar salad, prime rib chili with fritos, and unusual side dishes for a place in this area such as fresh grilled pineapple, couscous, and smoked cole slaw. will definitely make another visit down the road. and i'll bring a jar of kosciusko mustard with me next time for my nathan's hot dog! by the way, they opened in march 2012, so maybe still working out a few kinks.
