Iron Hog Restaurant & Saloon


Roy Rodgers and Johnny Cash came by and scenes from Easyrider were filmed at this old-timey honky-tonk dripping with memorabilia and character(s). It's hugely popular with bikers and serves large portions of rib-stickers, including rattlesnake to help you connect with your inner macho. Save 2 bucks if you cook your own steak.
