It's not Tog's. It's the Schoolhouse Café. And it was excellent. Good food. Great service. I think we overwhelmed the chef a bit with 14 people showing up at once. But he didn't sacrifice quality for speed.

We absolutely LOVE the Schoolhouse Grill. I really enjoy the tri-tip, hamburgers, and hand cut fries; to tell the truth everything is good! Quality ingredients, and you can't go wrong with their homemade ice cream! We'll be visiting every time we are in town.

This is such a fun place. An old one room school house turned into a general store/restaurant. The food is awesome and plentiful. They are very accommodating to bicycle riders, and it's a favored destination. Recommend small groups and to call ahead for COVID hours.

Stopped for breakfast while taking a motorcycle ride through the valley. Charming place with good food. Next time will try lunch. Also bought some Rankin Ranch meat at the tiny grocery store located there.
