We just spent the weekend at the newly opened Griffin House. From our first interactions reserving a room we were impressed by the follow up and polite interactions with Autumn!. The room was wonderful and the grounds were very impressive from ...
the views of the mountains in the backyard to fire pits. The place was absolutely stunning with a beautiful wood bar area and bartenders that knew their drinks and the area. They were polite and knowledgeable about the area and gave us numerous tips on what to see in the area. After arriving we realized Autumn did so much and was so attentive to all things going on with all guests it was truly amazing. Then let’s talk about the food. I truly believe I had the best hamburger ever!! And the fish and chips were fantastic. I was impressed by the whole staff and environment and can’t wait to return.

Absolutely beautiful venue inside and out. Intimate tables, I especially loved the stools at the table by the fireplace. Margarita was delicious and lovely selection of beer. Ordered the burger with a side salad, all around perfect dish and the...
real stand out was the Shepard pie… by far the comfiest coziest meal I’d eaten in a long long time. The portion was perfect and accompanied by the best garlic green beans. It’s wonderful to be able to roam around both inside and out. The picnic tables outside are the perfect place for gathering with a group and inside is cozy! Did I mention they have a pool table?! All around wonderful place and can’t wait for many many more visits with some of the nicest staff I’ve encountered.

If you're looking to eat a once great grilled pastrami sandwich from the Circle W general store, good luck! You will be directed across the street to the Griffin House, where the Circle W crew allegedly moved into to continue to make great food...
that was once at the original Circle W. We were told the menu remained the same and the quality was just as good. Not true....... the sandwich had risen in price, there was a couple of slices of pastrami on it, it had a rainbow color, which is normally indicative of cheap cold cuts, and the pickled cole slaw was completely red (beet colored) and extremely sweet. It tasted nothing like the grilled pastrami sandwich from the old Circle W.
So, you must order food , your beverage and pay as soon as you walk into the Griffin house. After paying, they allow you to be seated, at which point you wait for your beverage and food to be delivered. My wife and I ordered a dark stout, which was sweeter than a Coca-cola! Horrible!
When the food came out, my wife asked for utensils, and the waitress told her she could help herself at a counter which had utensils, and napkins. She did, and we ate was a pretty bad grilled pastrami sandwich!
If your thinking that your getting a pastrami sandwich that you were used to getting at the general store, you will be sadly disappointed! This is what happens when you change a very good thing.
Won't return ever!!
