12 Gage Restaurant

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

When the sun sets, this intimate, fireplace-warmed indoor-outdoor restaurant is the best place to eat and socialize in Marathon. The innovative menu, featuring fresh produce from the Gage Hotel Garden across the railroad tracks, changes with the season but maintains a Southwestern flair. Entrées sizzle with prime steaks, cornmeal-fried-oyster nachos, and stuffed Texas quail. After dinner you can belly up to the bar at the White Buffalo, where people-watching is always a kick.
