    Shrimp stuffed chicken.
    Vilma D.

    OK, so where do I begin? The restaurant is really good, plenty of parking. Amazing service. I sat at the bar and had dinner. People were very nice. Very attentive. Big crowd in the dining area. The food everybody's plate that passed by was amazingly deliciously looking. Definitely a place that I'm going back to.

    Chopped antipasto salad

    I ordered the chopped antipasto salad. It was a very poor excuse for a salad. There was maybe MAYBE one tiny portion of a pepper chopped up. I think there were only about 4 of the chopped pieces of pepper on it. It also came to me without any meat on it. I asked the waitress, who was very nice, isn't this supposed to come with meat? She came back with a tiny salad dressing container of meat. This was so not worth $14.

    Excellent shrimp app!

    Have enjoyed dinner at the bar twice. Both times, my husband & I have enjoyed our meals immensely. Service is always good & we love the food. On this particular night we shared a tricolor salad which was very large & excellent. Both times we have been here we have both gotten the same dishes as they are soooo good. I got the bolognese which has some chili's in it to make it spicy & unique - I love it. My husband loves the pappardelle. We got tiramisu for dessert & a nice large double espresso. Prices are reasonable. We would go more often if we lived closer but as it's a 43 minute drive, we can only go once in a while. Great place!!! Tip - if you want dinner at the bar, make a reservation!

    Salad. They split to two for us.

    Wonderful cozy find! Best breakfast-for-dinner ever…read more We stumbled upon this absolute gem on a freezing, rainy evening after an outdoor event, just looking for a warm bite to eat around dinner time. My partner found this spot while searching nearby, and oh how happy I am that he did! I had been craving blueberry pancakes for days and was so excited to have a rare breakfast-for-dinner treat. From the moment we walked in, the warmth of the place completely melted the cold away. We were greeted by a wonderful, incredibly kind waitress, and the atmosphere inside was just so cozy and comforting. There was a lovely mix of people having their supper, including a sweet family of seven eating dinner together at the table next to us. It just had that perfect, welcoming community feel. The menu was seriously impressive. My other half ordered the southern chicken sausage gravy dinner, and it was phenomenal! I got my blueberry pancakes- my absolute favorite - and they completely exceeded expectations. I also tried the lentil soup, which was packed with flavor. Honestly, I don't think you could have a bad meal here if you tried. Our waitress (the same lovely woman who greeted us) chatted with us for a bit and was just so delightful and attentive. I even spotted a rice pudding with strawberries and whipped cream on the dessert menu that looked right up my alley, but between my pancakes and stealing a few delicious bites of the chicken dinner, I was far too full this time around! As we left, I noticed the pretty flowers and the outdoor picnic tables. I'm sure this place absolutely hops on weekend mornings, but it was the perfect rainy evening escape for us. Thank you so much for your incredible hospitality-we are officially adding this to our regular rotation when we are in the area.

If you don't want your entrées coming out with the appetizers, just give them a heads up, because the kitchen moves fast here. We started with the mushroom dish and a hearty soup...both full of flavor and the perfect start to the meal. Then came the star of the night: the lamb chops. Perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Everything we tried was fresh and satisfying, the kind of food that makes you want to go back the next day. The service was on point- Friendly and attentive, and the whole space has this quirky, cozy feel, like you're sitting in your grandma's living room with its mix of chairs and warm, homey vibe. It's also BYOB, which is always a win. We brought a bottle of wine that paired perfectly with the meal. Overall, Butcher's Grill is a must-visit if you're in the area. Great food, quick service, and a cozy atmosphere that makes it stand out. Can't wait to come back!

As soon as we sat down, the staff brought over warm bread with a cheesy crust on top, simple but really good, and a nice way to settle in. I started with an Old Fashioned mocktail, which I have to admit just didn't work. After a couple of sips, I gave up on it. I stuck with the mocktail because I was taking medication for a cold, but honestly, I found myself wishing I had just ordered the real version. Once the French onion soup came out, things turned around quickly. It was exactly what I needed, rich, hot, and comforting in all the right ways. Our waiter checked in just enough without hovering, and the rest of the staff was just as attentive. It felt welcoming, whether people were staying at the resort or just coming in for dinner, which added to the relaxed atmosphere. For my main dish, I went with the burger cooked medium-rare, and it hit the mark. Juicy, full of flavor, and paired with crisp fries that were actually seasoned well. Between the quality of the food and the friendly service, the Crystal Tavern left a good impression. I'd definitely go back and try more of the menu next time.

Our vegetarian opted for the build your own burger. Veggie burger on a pretzel bun w/ pallet jack, chipotle mayo, fries, frizzled onions and avocado. He loved it! My daughter and I split an order of pierogies and the amazing bacon onion marmalade burger. They even cut it up for us from the kitchen and put it on separate plates (love the attention to detail and service) My mother daughter truly enjoyed her pineapple jalapeños burger and was in heaven. Not too much heat but just the right amount of kick. Hubby is trying to be more health conscious so he opted for the Brie & Apple turkey burger.

Be prepared! Inside, we were met with a kind staff and a delicious lunch. The boomin bloomin onion was a favorite for our crew, with the typical blooming onion sauce you know and love from the steak chains. What differentiated it was the thin slicing of the onions, which made it easier to just keep dipping a little bit more. The only letdown of the meal, which was a relative letdown given how solid the burgers and onion were, was the fries. They didn't have flavor, even though I got mine with Cajun seasoning and my wife got hers with a beer cheese dip. They need to punch up the salt fresh out of the fryer to really let the other seasonings shine. We actually overheard another table say the same thing after we finished our fries, so I don't think it was just a fluke order. That said, if you're nitpicking over the sides at the burger and shake place, I'd say you're going to the wrong places! This was a tasty meal and a stop I'd easily go back to if I was nearby.
