The Buena Viking

Great local vibe bar with the better rooftop bar, The Crow's Nest (great place to rent out for a reception) because it has its own bar and a retractable roof. Great views of the mountains and Main Street. Main floor has inside and an outside terrace seating (outside is furbaby friendly). Bartenders have strong pours; kitchen has a separate gluten-free prep and deep fryer areas. Love the loaded tots, the pulled pork and chicken, the breaded/fried green beans, and the sweet potato fries. Yes, it is a great place after a day of hiking or rafting the white water!

The food delicious and service was welcoming! They have outdoor, indoor, and bar seating. Which I recommend the outside, it was a bit quieter and right across the street was a lovely gentleman performing with his guitar. The menu had selections for everyone, and even those Gluten free options! My favorite was the chicken tenders! It was such a treat to find some gluten free chicken tenders! And…… Delicious at that. The drinks were reasonably priced. We got our regular drinks of a red wine and a cocktail. Be sure to check if there is a wait by calling ahead or planning ahead and seeing what events are happening in town, or holidays. This will help you decide if a walk-in is right for you, or maybe you want to plan ahead. Either way they are worth the wait!

Always delicious and fresh! I have a lot of food allergies including gluten and dairy and have never had any problems. They have a dedicated gluten-free fryer and many gluten-free options. The burgers are to die for and the salads are perfectly balanced. Fast professional service. Love the Viking!
