Highly recommend! Can't wait to go back!

My husband and I stopped by after viewing the fall colors on the Spoon River Drive. As you enter, there is a large bar which on Monday at 2:30 pm still had a friendly assortment of folks doing the same thing we were doing: enjoying a beautiful fall day. Past the bar is a large dining room with fall decorations and string lights. It was spotlessly clean. My husband ordered a fish sandwich and tater-tots. I had a small tenderloin and fried cauliflower. The sandwiches were huge! And the tenderloin was still very thick and juicy. (Sometimes the tenderloin is more breading than meat, but not at the Goose Pit!). Everything was hot except of course the beer which was ice cold. Very nice end to a nice day.

My step mom explained that the beer tasted like vinegar and nicely tried to explain it was probably the end of the keg. The bartender then proceeded to get mad at her and said that it's a "mead" and that's why it tastes like that and so on and so on. Later when another member of my family went up to get a drink the bartender realized he was in the wrong and gave my family member a drink to give to my step mom, after realizing she was right and the keg was empty. Not even an apology. My drinks were fine, it was a nice beer but after what my family went through will not be returning.

Regardless of where you go or have gone in the past the quality of the food has become a disappointment. I would like to say I was surprised by the great taste of the food at this location, but it was what I had heard from others. I wasn't disappointed, but the quality of the food exceeded what I expected. Bravo Riverside for maintai ing a quality of excellence. This in itself would be enough for my wife and I, but the inviting ambiance of this establishment aligned with the high quality of the food. Again......Bravo. Now to the best part of this gem tucked away in Havana. The service of the was out of the 1950s. We had suck a good experience with the young man that waited on us I was sure he was the son of the owner, but was merely an employee who had parents that brought him up properly. I don't know the owners, this isn't a gimmick review, but a review from someone who has spent years eating at four and five star restaurants up and down the west cost. What a nice surprise to fine this gem in a bucket full of rocks here in Havana. Good form Riverside....Good form

They had a very cool interior, with tap handles lining their walls and all sorts of neat antique items. Their seating options were limited but the table we sat at was very cool because of how it was made and had comics and such incorporated into the top of the tables. They sell beer from breweries but don't make their own, which was fine as they had some food craft beers on tap. Inside the lights were very dim but it added to the whole mood of the pub. The bartender was quiet but proficient at his job. A neat little place to stop and have a drink.

Review Date: June 6th, 2016…read more Aside from beer, they have deliciousness on tap. I think I discovered this place while looking at online lists of unique or delicious places to try. I figured Canton isn't a terribly long drive for me if I made it a day to travel and see other things around Billy's Tap. Guess what. That's exactly what my girlfriend and I did. We made plans to check out the Tap and other places in the area. We rolled up on a quiet afternoon. Canton is a small town so I assume most days are quiet around there. We stopped before entering to take some fun photos with the giant log painted on the wall. Well, I posed for some photos. My shy girlfriend isn't one to draw attention to herself... being shy and all. We headed in and were greeted by an excellent pub. The place had this classiness to it that I didn't expect from a small town. I could see how this place was on a few list of 'must try' places. None of that matters if the food is awful though, so we grabbed a seat and go to ordering. BBQ bacon burgers are our usual menu item to order and we were able to order something along those lines at Billy's Tap. Since we still had some driving and exploring to do, we declined to get too much food and be miserable. Just the bacon burgers and we split some french fries. Our waitress was small-town friendly and made some small talk while we sat there, taking in the scenery. I can't express how amazed I was at how nice this place was. I was also amazed at the sight of our food when it came out. Despite getting an order of french fries to split between us, there was a huge pile of them that could've been a meal of it's own. As for the slab of meat between the patties, that just looked fantastic. I was amazed at the interior. I was amazed at how the food looked. Was I amazed at how it tasted. Heck yes, I was. Each bite of the burger was succulent and full of juices and flavor. Each bite was heaven for this carnivorous man. The bacon had that nice crisp to it that I loved while remaining greasy at the same time. It's how I cook my bacon at home. The meat patty was the same. Juicy but not to the point where it would leave juices running down your chin. This thing was easily a Top 10 if not Top 5 burger for me. The only thing it was missing was the BBQ sauce but that's not going to count against it. Just a personal preference. Again, I could see why this place made it on some lists. This place seems somewhat unassuming on the outside but the second you walk in, you know you are in for a treat. Sadly it's just too far away for me to try again but I am glad to have tried it the one time. I wonder what the delivery cost would be to have one brought to me....
