After a day of birding at the wildlife refuge we always stop at the Brass Rail for lunch. It’s a comfortable restaurant and bar that seems popular with locals. The lady who took our order was so nice and answered our questions about the town. The lunch menu isn’t fancy but it satisfied our hunger. I had the steak sandwich with fries. A large generous portion of steak was placed on top of a thick slice of their bread. It was charred, juicy and well seasoned. The fries were crisp and the salad with the house dressing was delicious. I looked at it like an honest plate of food and dug in. With an ice cold beer, what else could I ask? My SO had the fried chicken (no breading). Cooked to perfection and served with fries and salad and bread. This is our favorite place in Alturas. You should go there.
All in all ots a great place to enjoy a bite with friends and family to catch up. Really enjoyed the 5 course meal service with wine. It is reasonably priced for the service, however I think I should have gotten the beef steak instead of the lamb steak. Maybe lamb isn't my thing. If I really wanted I could cook everything I had myself to the same taste but I would have had to deal with the dishes.
