Looking for something besides highway fast food offerings, I asked the gentleman at the store if there was anywhere good to eat. He directed me to this place where the bartender was great, the back patio was good dog friendly, and the candied bacon BLT (add cheddar) contained the best candied bacon I have ever had. It was delicious! The unsweet tea actually tasted fresh brewed, not over stewed, and was refreshing. I will definitely make the short detour any time I travel up or down the 71 during their open hours.

Sterling, OH 43143 (740) 831-4018 This morning I rolled into Hammer Time Pub for a little Saturday Morning Fuel-Up and decided to go big or go home. Enter the Tool Kit #3 -- or as I like to call it, The Philly Cheesesteak Meets Tater Tot Avalanche. Base layer: crispy golden tater tots Perfectly seasoned Philly cheesesteak beef Mushrooms, onions, peppers Ghost pepper cheese bringing the heat Friends... this was a LOT of food. Like, "better have your morning cleared" kind of food. As a Philly cheesesteak fan, this hit me right in the taste buds. And with the EMS station right across the street, I felt comforted knowing my #CardiacCare plan was already in place. Yes, it was a little salty -- but hey, it's pub food. That's like complaining your milkshake is too sweet. #Hypertension Verdict: Awesome food, hearty portions, and a hometown vibe that makes you want to linger. If you're at Deer Creek State Park, it's just a short hop for great eats, chill vibes, and good company. Bald White Guy Official Rating: ‍‍‍ (3 1/2 Bald Heads) Why did the tater tot go to therapy? Because it felt a little fried inside. #BaldWhiteGuyReviews #SupportLocal #HammerTimePub #TaterTotGoals #PhillyCheesesteakLove #DeerCreekEats #ChillVibesBigBites #Hypertension #DadJoke #mountsterling

Kind, personable, and genuinely warm exactly the kind of energy that makes a meal feel like more than just a meal. If you've seen The Menu, you know that scene where all anyone really wants is just a perfect, unpretentious burger done right. Thurman's is exactly that. The burger was everything it needed to be no gimmicks, no shortcuts, just a beautifully made sandwich that delivers on every level. The fries? Equally on point. Honestly, I have no notes. None. This is the kind of place that reminds you why simple food, done exceptionally well, will always win. If you haven't been, go. If you have, you already know.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I am so glad we stopped. Parking can be a pain as it is all street parking and there are 2 coffee shops and two restaurants basically next door. With parking aside, we were stopped in and was greeted as soon as we walked in and then taken to a seat. The bar staff handles all tables and the bar. This place isn't huge and the lobby hold as many people as the seats and the bar. So plan accordingly. The bathroom was clean and the restaurant was clean as well. We ordered drinks. And our burgers and sides. The burger is literally at 3/4 pound burger. I took half home as it is a big burger. The fries were perfectly done fresh cut fries. These are not frozen bag fries. This burger was one of the best I have had. The fries are also very very good. Highly recommend. If you are anywhere near here and want a good burger why are you not here yet.

I ordered the Bourban Chcken Gyro with handcut fries and ice tea! The server was nice and friendly. The bourbon chicken was delicious and the fries were very good.

During a previous visit to Circleville, thanks to a Yelp recommendation, we discovered the Thirsty Parrot and loved it. Truth be known, a return visit to the Thirsty Parrot is my motivation to "ride along". My wife loved their bourbon chicken last time and had the same thing this time. I went with the gyro - available in several varieties, including traditional gyro meat or bourbon chicken. I had it with gyro meat and a small order of fries. The gyro was delicious and the small order of fries was an extremely generous portion. BTW - they've got some of the best fries I've had. We'll definitely be back next year.

The place has that classic small-town dive bar feel, the kind of spot where you walk in expecting a casual bite and end up being pleasantly surprised by how good the food actually is. It's relaxed, welcoming, and feels like a place locals probably keep to themselves. We started with something called Hillbilly Calamari, and despite the name, there's no squid involved. Instead, it's sliced banana peppers lightly breaded and fried, served with ranch. They were crispy, tangy, and had just the right little kick. A really fun and unique starter. Served with ranch dressing 9/10 But the wings absolutely stole the show. They're slow smoked first and then flash fried, which gives them a great smoky flavor while keeping the outside crispy and the inside juicy and tender. I tried two flavors -- Cody's mix which was Bourbon BBQ mixed with spicy garlic which had a great smoky flavor a sweet and savory richness with a hint of kick from the bourbon and I ordered the Spicy Garlic, which packed a bold garlicky heat that really popped. Both wings were excellent. 20/10 And of course, you can't go wrong with the fresh-cut fries on the side. Fries were good, but could have been a little crispier for my preference. 7/10 One of the coolest things about the place is the grill right behind the bar, where you can watch them as they're cooking your burger while you watch. It adds to that laid-back, old-school bar atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel authentic. Katy was are server and she was super friendly and on top of refills and kept checking on us. This is definitely a place that makes you feel comfortable and welcome. If you're anywhere near Ashville, this is definitely worth a stop. Great wings, fun appetizers, and a relaxed neighborhood vibe make it a place I'd happily come back to for another bite!! Have a great day from Brian From Brian's Big Bite

Also tried the battered fish and fries. The wings...solid. Fried the way I like with the right amount of sauce. Top 5 wing easily. The shocker was the fish and the Cole slaw! Soooo good! The slaw was like (but better) than KFC, which I love. The fresh cut fries were also crazy good with a shape that can only be described as overgrown Elephant Man toenails lol. But in a good way! All washed down with a Sonder IPA. This was a lot of food for the money. The vibe was also cool here. Variety of folks and everyone cool. Pool tables in the back with classic rock playing. Just a really good experience with awesome food. I'll definitely stop back when I'm working in the area. Man I need to take a small cup of this Cole slaw with me. For real.

When you pull into the parking lot, you're greeted with signs promoting Bike Night and upcoming events, which immediately tells you this place has a loyal following. They even have an outdoor stage for bands, so I can imagine this place really comes alive in the warmer months. Inside, it's dimly lit with more of a bar feel than a traditional restaurant. Neon signs and posters line the walls, and a few TVs are scattered around the room. It's a smaller place -- maybe a dozen tables or so -- but it had a nice mix of people. There were clearly some locals or regulars hanging at the bar, a couple of families having dinner, and a few couples like us. It felt comfortable and unpretentious. Our bartender/server came right over, welcomed us, took our drink order, and grabbed our food order without missing a beat. The menu is fairly small -- mostly bar food staples, a couple of salads, a few pizzas, and sandwiches. Nothing fancy, just the kind of stuff you expect in a neighborhood tavern. I ordered the Porky Burger. It comes with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, and their "famous Porky's sauce." Here's where it got interesting -- the tomatoes were cut into wedges instead of slices, the lettuce was chopped, and the onions were diced small. A little different presentation than I'm used to, but it worked. The Porky's sauce tasted mayo-based with some spices mixed in -- not exactly sure what's in it, but it was flavorful and tied everything together nicely. The burger itself was seasoned well and juicy -- definitely not dry -- and it came on a soft bun that held up to all the toppings. On the side were what I'd call "twister fries" -- kind of like a steak fry that got twisted along the way. They were crispy and seasoned well. Overall, I really enjoyed my burger. My wife ordered the Italian sub with beer-battered onion rings. She said the meat on the sub had a spicy kick -- a little too spicy for her taste -- so she only ate about half. But she did really enjoy the onion rings. They also offer daily specials, and Tuesday's deal is hard to beat: an 8oz steak, baked potato, side salad, and roll for $16. That's a great value. All in all, if you're in the mood for a dive bar atmosphere, live music vibes, and a good burger or classic bar food, Tavern 62 is worth checking out.
