Fodor's Expert Review The Gun Barrel Steak & Game House

At Jackson's legendary game and steak lodge, all dishes are slow-cooked over an open river-rock mesquite grill. It's in a former taxidermy shop, and the dining atmosphere is rustic and fun, with a large collection of mounted game and a towering stone fireplace. Service is always friendly. The menu offers a wide variety of unique dishes, such as the house favorite, velvet elk: tender medallions cooked in a wine, sun-dried-tomato, and pepper sauce. The bar has an ample list of bourbons, scotches, and wines to sample if you just want a drink.
