“It even tasted like beef, though knowing it was ostrich in my head made it taste slightly different.”
Tried the ostrich burger (recommended medium rare, tasted like beef, with sauerkraut) and later the alligator burger (a bit chewy, topped with a curry sauce). Order at the counter and find your own table; also has a solid beer selection.

Good for one thing in Roger’s book: a dog-friendly patio. The Black & Bleu burger was bland on a cold bun.
