During our return trip from Fort Bragg on Memorial Day weekend, we unexpectedly discovered a true treasure.
This was our first visit to Blue Wing Saloon. I must say, it exceeded all our expectations! We arrived slightly early, and as we waited a friendly gentleman approached us inquiring if we needed assistance. Though the restaurant had not yet opened, he kindly spoke with the staff on our behalf. He invited us to sit in the charming, shaded courtyard. Which was perfect especially since we were accompanied by our sweet Boston Terrier.
Our server Kameron was exceptional, attentive, knowledgeable, and delightful. She shared fascinating details about the historic buildings and their connection to the hotel, providing us with a booklet recounting the intriguing story of the Tallman family's legacy. Kameron also recommended the Blue Wings with a sweet-spicy Asian glaze as an appetizer. Without a doubt, the best chicken wings I have ever tasted! Her suggestion was spot on, and we thoroughly enjoyed them. My husband ordered the Fish & Chips, while I savored the Crispy Chicken Salad. Both dishes prepared to perfection. Our dog Winnie was treated to a generous beef dog patty. An impressive patty that left her a very happy girl.
Our experience with Kameron truly made us fall in love with Tallman's. So much so that before leaving, I immediately made a reservation for July. The same courteous gentleman who initially greeted us was there to assist with this, offering to reserve a dinner reservation for the evening we arrive. He even offered to show us one of their dog-friendly Main Street Suites. The suite was absolutely stunning. The hospitality we received throughout our visit was exemplary. I am now more excited about our upcoming stay at Tallman's than even our planned trip to the beach house in Fort Bragg. Every member of the staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Blue Wing Saloon and the Tallman Hotel to anyone seeking outstanding service, exceptional food, and drinks!

We got there early before they opened not wanting to take the chance of having to wait. Sat in a corner with Winnie our Boston Terrier. Was perfect for us, had nobody really around and a nice big outdoor heater. Service was great. My husband got the biscuit and gravy meal along with a cup of chili (what they are known for) we loved the chili and the b&g he thought were okay. I had the banana walnut pancakes and those were to die for. Absolutely amazing! Winnie had the hamburger patty and it was huge. All in all we thought it was good.

Went for an early dinner after a long day at the beach. Patio is pretty big with heaters. Clam chowder was fantastic, best I have ever had. Winnie our Boston Terrier had a New York strip streak. The dog menu was amazing, so many different choices. Great drinks, good food, wonderful service!

Place is upstairs and the elevator is in a gift shop. That took a minute to figure out, no signs anywhere that we could see. Had a great selection of food. We sat in the corner. They brought out a dog bone tray for Winnie our Boston Terrier to put her water and for her food. She had the salmon with carrots and wild rice. I had the seafood saute, it was wonderful. My husband had the cioppino, he wasn’t in love with it but it was good. All and all it was a great meal.
