My toddler had space to play without interrupting anyone. I ordered fries right off the bat for said toddler and they came out quickly. Amazing fries and fry sauce, the sauce has a little bit of a kick to it which I enjoyed. For the table we had motz sticks and fried ravioli. The motz sticks had a nice cheese pull and were decent. I wasn't a fan of the ravioli, just personal preference. I ordered the working man burger and wow was I impressed with the HUGE well cooked patty, smoked cheese, bacon and garlic aioli. I could honestly only eat about 1/4 of the burger after the appetizers. I can however confirm the burger and fries reheated well at home in the microwave.

We were staying at the Crescent Bar TT and we were too tired to cook so we walked all of 2 min to…read moreThe Hangar. What a fun place! The ceiling is lit up with colored lights and there is an airplane vibe. The tables are huge so you don't feel cramped, or you can opt sit at the bar. They also have a pool table if you like to shoot pool. The staff are all super friendly and helpful making sure you have everything you need. On our first visit we started with propellers (shoestring french fries) they were very crispy just the way we like them. We shared the Piper Flat Bread next. There was a good amount of toppings and the horseradish sauce was so good. We did wish for red pepper flakes but it was great without. We had planned to order more but that filled us up with leftovers. Second trip I opted for nachos and they were delicious crisp chips with normal toppings baked until cheese is melted and crispy on the edges! The best pub nachos I've had in a long time! Enough for 4 people for sure. Hubby had the hangar burger and he said it was great served with the same great shoestring fries. We just discovered this TT Campground, and The Hangar will more than likely be the first place we eat every time we visit in the future. We are super happy we found a new favorite place

This used to be the Sand Bar, and thankfully, it is not as sleazy as it was under that name!…read more Their patio is covered and has a trellis and vines on one side, and they apparently allow smoking out there (is this even legal? I thought smoking had to be 25 feet away from all entrances?). We went to see a band there and they were playing outside, but the patio was full of smoke so we opted against listening to the band and sat indoors, which was fine until they opened the door and let the smoke into the building. They have a bar outside as well, but it is cash only...so bring cash if you plan to listen to a band play here. The food was really good, so I'll throw a 2nd star for that, but I doubt we'll be back. If you're a smoker, this would be a great place, I suppose, but I quit over 10 years ago and don't want to sit in a place that reeks of smoke. My party left after we finished our dinner and went somewhere else.

Omg. That food was so good!!…read more Hubby got the tenderloin and loved it which is super rare for him to say about steak when he eats out. It came with mashed potatoes and green beans, and had Gorgonzola cheese, as well as bacon chunks and mushrooms spread all over the steak. Meat was very tender and cooked exactly like he likes it which is medium rare. Portions of everything were generous. He also got a Caesar salad which he enjoyed but would ask for light dressing on it next time since it was way too much dressing My son got a basic burger. He thought it was very good but would prefer the Patti be a little shorter and wider than taller and less wide. The sandwiches and burgers don't come with sides which is weird. So we ordered the french fries to share. They're my very favorite type - medium thickness (1cm x 1cm), long, crispy but doesn't break when you bend it and not oily at all I had the BLT with avocado and pesto aioli sandwich but I made it into a grilled chicken burger. It was very good and the bacon there is amazing. So thick but not overly greasy either. And not fatty. Amazing flavor. Plus the walls are old brick and we love brick so really enjoyed the setting Great service too. He knew the menu really well and was always there when we needed him. Very friendly. I could tell he likes his job. We will be going back!

A couple of minutes later, someone took our drink order, and we got our drinks after another 5-6 minutes. We then ordered burgers and chili. 40 minutes later--yes, 40 minutes--we finally received our food. In all that time, no one checked in or offered drink refills. After finishing our meal, we waited another 10-15 minutes with no sign of our server. We eventually had to stand up just to get someone's attention so we could leave. Maybe it was just an off day, but based on this experience, I'd have a really hard time coming back. If I could leave less than one star I would have.

My wife and I decided to split our meals and we ended up ordering the Chicken Tinga Street Tacos, as well as, a platter of Chicken Nachos. Both very delicious and the cilantro is simply supreme on this! The radishes was a nice touch, with some sauce over corn tortillas with that Cotiga cheese. I would prefer flour, but I'll take it! We also had the Saison which was light, a bit dry, crisp and sort of lemony. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves and the neighboring tables. Had some good conversations with local folks. As always, enjoy and Happy Mule Elking!

**Ripple Tavern: A Glorious Watering Hole That Betrays Its Own Name**…read more Let's get one thing straight--the **Ripple Tavern** is an absolute treasure. The booze selection? **Exquisite.** Whether you're craving a craft cocktail with the precision of a master mixologist or a whiskey so smooth it makes time stand still, **they've got it all**. The bartenders? **The best in the business.** They're friendly, fast, and somehow remember your drink order better than you do. This place is a **haven of hospitality**, a **sanctuary of spirits**, and a **cathedral of good times**. But here's the thing--**where is the Ripple?** I walked into the Ripple Tavern expecting one thing above all else: **Ripple Fortified Wine**, the legendary cheap nectar famously chugged by **Redd Foxx** as Fred G. Sanford on *Sanford and Son*. And what did I find? A **complete and utter absence of Ripple**. None. Not a single dusty bottle hidden behind the bar, not a forgotten case tucked away in the back. **A travesty. A betrayal. A crime against nostalgia itself.** Imagine the audacity of naming a bar **Ripple Tavern** and **refusing** to serve the drink that made junkyard philosophers out of America's finest. How dare they rob patrons of the chance to channel their inner Fred Sanford, hoisting a bottle, delivering an impassioned rant, and clutching their chest in mock heart attack fashion while hollering, "Elizabeth, I'm comin' to join ya, honey!" If ever there were a place where such theatrics should be encouraged, **it is here**. And yet, **Ripple Tavern** refuses to complete its destiny. The oversight is so egregious that I fear a disturbance in the cosmic order--*Sanford and Son* reruns may now play slightly out of sync, junkyards across America may feel inexplicably lonely, and somewhere, deep in the heart of television history, Redd Foxx himself may be shaking his head in disapproval. Still, five stars. **Because even without Ripple, this place is a glorious den of liquid joy.** But know this--if ever they decide to **right this wrong**, if ever a bottle of **Ripple Fortified Wine** finally takes its rightful place behind that bar, then--and only then--will **Ripple Tavern** achieve **true greatness**. Until that day arrives, I shall sip my whiskey with dignity--while quietly mourning what could have been.
