At Bent Rim Grill, burgers reign supreme, and the 100% beef patties are hand-formed and cooked to order. One must-try is the Indian Chief. This handheld showcases a ½ pound of Angus beef with bacon and cheddar cheese on a sourdough bun. Add a side of onion rings, fries, or tater tots, and you'll be ready to tackle the Three Twisted Sisters.
The GiXer and KTM are perfect for those needing a chicken sandwich or vegetarian option. The GiXer features a grilled chicken breast with lettuce and tomato, while the KTM is a garden veggie burger.
With the Retro, a Frito pie, and the Bobber, an all-beef hotdog, Bent Rim Grill has something for everyone.
After a hot day in the saddle or hiking Garner State Park, wet your whistle with Gatorade, soft drinks, tea, and water. Adventurers will also discover modest but satisfying beer and wine options.
