The Bunk House Bistro serves a hearty cowboy breakfast. The Old West theme carries through to the metal plates and coffee cups. All food is made from scratch, and even the coffee is roasted especially for the Bunk House. Most popular among the wide variety of breakfast dishes are the cowboy Benedict--an English muffin with egg and sausage, cheddar cheese, homemade gravy and potatoes--and the huevos rancheros, which consist of fried eggs atop tortillas that the owner makes herself, all of which is smothered with salsa. Home fries, salads and soups round out the menu. Meals average $10 as of March 2010. The Bunk House is open Fridays, Mondays and Tuesdays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
