I live close to here and I stop by for food sometimes. The chef is on point. Any food you get from here is going to slap. That's a good thing for the older crowd. The person who cooks there knows what he's doing. Five stars is for the Chef at Red Lantern. I just wish they were always open I would eat here lunch and dinner. Affordable too.
Tremendous bar. Affordable, friendly, frequently featuring live music. Decent selection of beers. My only wish would be to do a little work on that parking lot.
Killer local dive bar although it's very clean inside and the locals are very friendly I will definitely be back
I went here for the first time this past weekend and enjoyed the ambiance. Their holiday decorations were the icing on the cake for me. Not only was the service great, the bartender and cook were perfect at their crafts. Their Parmesan Garlic Wings are to die for! The drinks weren't watered down, neither was the service. The Tavern felt like everyone was family w/one another. Good vibes all around. I'll definitely be back and trying more from the menu too! I barely go out yet this is definitely on my list when I plan to.
The guy next to me in the white and grey Nike shirt wouldn't stop taking to me. He was very annoying. I think he ate three sandwiches in the hour I was there. I tried to entertain him by asking what time it was he checked his tiny girl watch and mumbled something. Bartenders were great though. Five stars.
Nick M, you are out of your mind. This place is cheap and full of GREAT guys. It's an open bar dood!! I have yet to see this places eat even one sack. Julie M, meow what is your concern with the takeout beer selection? The credit card reader appears to be working meow. German M, the cocktail weenie selection didn't disappoint me so I don't understand your whining man. GIVE THIS PLACE ANOTHER TRY COME ON MAN!!! WOOOO!!!!!
