Delicious food and super friendly people! We got the Rustler Rueben Sandwich and the "Filly" Beef Sandwich. Both were amazing and then we got the Merc Mixer's which were way better than any DQ blizzard. Would definitely recommend stopping here!

GREAT little country store. Definitely worth a stop. Stocked with gifts and has a soda counter. They have the best ice cream in town and the nicest country highschool girls working serving it. My wife and I really enjoyed the ice cream, coffee and the conversation. Will positively stop in again next time we're passing through town.

Historic shop in a small quaint town near the foothills of the Big Horn Mountains. We stopped on our way back from a daytrip into the Big Horns for lunch and a chocolate malt. Nice outside sitting area with interactive historic buildings. Mining for the kids. We had chocolate malts and shared a grilled cheese. Both were great. Interesting shop inside with many items from years past. Definitely worth a stop.

Very cute little spot with some vintage finds, souvenirs, geology gifts and even a little area to 'pan' for neat rocks, tasty sandwiches and drinks with outdoor seating in the shade. If you need to make a stop to stretch your legs or grab lunch this is a perfect place

We stopped for ice cream after our visit to Big Horns. Ice cream prices were great! Affordable stop for a family. They even gave us a free pup cup! I asked for a thick milkshake and it was perfect. The staff is friendly and all about customer service. Well done ladies! Great stop. Gift shop is well stocked and something for everyone. The restroom was clean and super cute. Easy trailer and RV parking too along the street. Coming down the mountain stop before the store and Sinclair gas station. After the store there is less options.

Beautiful historical building preserved by the owners for everyone to enjoy. Lots of antiques for sale and a great banana split!!! The owners are nice and gracious. If your going through Dayton, you have to stop in, you'll be glad you did.

We love this place. We always stop for soft serve ice cream. They recently started making their own hard serve scoops. Sandwiches, Italian sodas, etc. Lots of very nice items for sale from candy to stuffed elk and deer head mounts. You willl enjoy your stop here. Support this small business! Great people. Oh, don't forget to get a BIG BAG of their special popcorn! Never seen a moose head up close? Stop here!
