Amazing food and super friendly staff! We came here with a toddler and the staff was very considerate of the whole family! The fried pickles were amazing, my burger was so good, and my husband loved his wrap! We will most definitely stop here again if we're driving through the area!

Stopped in and was wowwed! The inside is beautiful and large and the staff were extremely friendly and quick. None of the patrons were dressed in costume for the Halloween season and it is rare I show up somewhere please start underdressed which made me happy. I did not get to try the food but got to meet the chef who takes a lot of pride in everything being handmade even the soups; and all of the locals have raved about the food. It was easy to make friends though I wandered in alone and even made a few pictures. Not at all like some small town is eager to get to know you and appreciate any eccentricities that you might possess. They were happy to provide Intel about local culture people places and things but with positive connotation. Any and all gossip was in the nature of singing the Praises of the above listed and there was nothing bad anyone seemed to have to say about anyone else or their town. Genuinely kind patrons and staff and food raved about and my drink was affordable. Will definitely be making this one of my new local watering holes and it exceeds any expectations for small town watering holes. Thank you for making me feel so welcome and getting to know me and including me in the fun.

I've had several meals at the Tavern since the new owners and each dish I ordered was made perfectly. From a basket of fries to a giant (pizza box sized) fish fry. I had to take the fish to go and it wasn't soggy after being boxed, everything was very crispy and well seasoned. The daily soups are amazing. Very dedicated chef.

Wife and I stopped in for lunch on a cold, rainy Monday afternoon on our way back from a camping trip. We couldn't have been more pleased. Started with a couple of spot-on Bloody Mary's. Wife had the special: pulled pork grilled cheese and I had the cheesesteak. Perfect comfort food on such a day. To top it off - Linda was a ray of sunshine on such a day, a real joy. We will certainly be back, thanks!
