    The wild game options on this menu are second to none in the city. With portions for any size group, it makes for a enticing party option. Excellent beer/cocktails and side patio are nice accents.

    Had a whole pig for a party. Good meat with super tasty Mac and cheese and corn bread. Boy scout cocktail is tasty. Be prepared to wear your stretchy pants because you will over eat.

    Meat and fire enjoy a close relationship, and Frontier celebrates that with its own fireplace. Frontier's known for their creative meat dishes. Read more

    The pulled boar sandwich was delicious. So were the fries, eat them while they're hot! Ahi tuna sandwich was awesome as well. Seared to perfection.

    White hummus is a great way to start the evening. Duck tacos are a great choice if you're not looking to order a large dish- the juicy, seasoned duck meat will please an appetite.

    The five-cheese mac at Frontier arrives in a scorching-hot cast-iron casserole pan plopped on a weathered wood cutting board, the browned crust bubbled up over the sides of the dish. Read more

    The burger, made with Slagel Farm beef, is perfection, and the lollipop wings, breaded chicken drizzled with buffalo sauce and ranch, make eating classic bar grub a more civilized affair. Read more

    Chef Brian Jupiter's food leans toward the hearty, like charbroiled oysters, whole-animal feasts and the more time you spend eating dishes like the pan-roasted striped bass, the more sense it makes. Read more

    Surprisingly poor selection of beer, basically all of the generics. Good for wine, good food, especially planned parties. With enough notice, they'll prepare an entire animal for you!

    Get some West Coast oysters, a bit sweeter than the East Coast variety. If you haven't had fresh oysters before, this place is a good spot to try it out.

    You can order whole cooked animals, for your next family gathering, of course. Otherwise, check out their fried rabbit & waffles for brunch; instead of your usual chicken & waffles!

    Chef Brian Jupiter's ballsy food (e.g., a Super Bowl option to order a whole animal that feeds 10-15 people for $400), adds another component to the mix. Read more

    Gluten free options are highlighted on the menu. Deviled eggs and dill pickles are great! But yes, it is pretty bro-y.

    The ahi tuna sandwich with rosemary fries is great (mmm wasabi) and a very generous portion. Big enough to split, IMHO.
