Beer battered fish and fries with green beans.

First time here on a Saturday evening about 5:30. Place was starting to fill up, but we were seated without a reservation right away. Waitress promptly took our drink orders within less than a minute after being seated. Very pleasant and professional, even taking extra time with us since it was our first time. We ordered two beer battered fish with fries and green beans and a Ruben sandwich with fries. The meals were awesome and came rather quickly. The place had wall to wall big screen TV's and show all the sports that happened to be televised. It really wasn't that loud for as many patrons there. The total bill including a $15 tip came to u def $75 for three adults. We will be back, might just be my new #1 restaurant

First time here, despite seeing the sign many times in the past. Wanted to try something different and this was the choice. I didn't know what to expect. As I pulled up I was amazed at how large the place was, I was expecting a tiny place. The parking lot was packed, but I still was able to find a spot easily. My only negative in this review is the hostess stand experience. The hostess stand is really close to the door, so as soon as you open it bam there it is. There isn't really any place to wait. The hostess tonight was MIA more than she was there. I walked in to find 6 people squished by the stand. Nobody there. Then a young lady comes and takes 4 to be seated and then takes two more. So now I'm at the hostess stand and have people squeezing in behind me to be inside and close the door. Anyway I stand there for 5-10 minutes with nobody coming. I see the young lady walk towards the stand, doesn't look to me or acknowledge me in any way. She puts her head down and grabs menus and walks away to apparently grab a large party. I would have expected a greeting and perhaps "I'll be with you in a moment." Not just ignoring us. Finally she comes over and just stands there staring at us, no hello. So I start by saying two please. It was odd, no greeting at all. So we get seated, the place is packed. It took a little while for a server to come, but I can see they are busy. Server was friendly and attentive. I asked for what she would recommend and she said the fish sandwich is a favorite of many people, so fish it is. My buddy ordered a blue cheeseburger. We both added a cup of chili. Server was attentive with the drinks. We waited for maybe 15 minutes and asked if our chili would come with the sandwiches or could we get it before as is normal as a starter. She stated the kitchen is slammed but we would most definitely get it before the food. Probably two minutes later we had our chili. The chili had a good taste but was cold. We both agreed maybe it was served and sitting in the back that's why it was cold. Very quickly our sandwiches came. The fish sandwich was enormous and came with a ton of fries. I really enjoyed the fish and it was piping hot. I'm not a fan of fries but these were decent. My buddy was very pleased his burger. The bill came and we were pleased with that as well. All the food was affordable/inexpensive. We were surprised the beer was as inexpensive as it was. After paying our bill we agreed we would be back.

We recently visited three breweries in Butler County and they paled by comparison to the quality of the food we got at TJ's and the lower cost.

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION FROM START TO FINISH 10/10!…read more Perfection. Everything about Talbots is absolute perfection. I eat A LOT of food, and one common denominator I see among top-tier restaurants is that the owners and management are a direct reflection of the overall experience, quality, and taste. Talbots is no different. We felt right at home from the moment we walked in. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, like lifetime friends. Our waitress, Teresa, was fantastic. She passed all the vibe checks and matched our energy immediately, all the signs of a veteran server you want guiding you through one of the best eating experiences of your life. She gave us her recommendations and left us to decide. We knew we were here for the #hashtagyouwont 36oz ribeyes, but we wanted to see what else was recommended since everything looked and sounded amazing. We decided to order a lot of food, almost everything that was recommended. This will be a bit of a long-winded review, but I'm sure the true foodies will appreciate it, so here we go: THE APPETIZERS The Brie: How can brie be so good that it deserves to be talked about first? I have no idea, but it was excellent. The strawberry-jalapeño jam, brie, candied pecans, baby naan, and fruit just worked so well together. An absolute hit. Pork Cheek Tacos: These melted in your mouth and exploded with flavor. They were also a really decent size, we were expecting little bite-sized tacos on a dumpling wrapper, but got two substantial tacos instead which was a pleasant surprise. Naan Bombs: Flat out delicious, and there were enough in the serving for everyone to have a few. Duck Wontons: So unique and flavorful. These were like little empanada explosions of flavor. THE MAIN EVENT: THE 36OZ RIBEYE When I tell you this was a perfect steak, this was a perfect steak. Cooked medium rare, oozing with flavor, and charred to absolute perfection on the outside. That is no easy feat with a cut this size, but somehow Talbot and crew made it seem like a walk in the park. Hidden under the steak, soaking up all the juices, are the house cut fries. I forgot they were even there because of the sheer size of the meat! By the time I discovered them, they were soaked with steak juice, but somehow remained crispy and soggy at the same time. It was brilliant, the fries almost had a poutine like aspect to them. Magnificent, completely unique, and made so much sense. As for the side of corn salad.... absolutely mind blowing. It just looked like corn with some sauce on it, nothing special at all. I am so sorry I underestimated you, Mr. Corn Salad. My God, this stuff was amazing. It didn't make sense to me, but I didn't care, I just kept shoveling it into my mouth. DESSERT We saved room for dessert (of course) and got three: The Chocolate Cake: A plate of pure, chocolaty goodness. Pecan Sweet Potato Pie: Spectacular. Coconut Cream Cheesecake: Wow. I am a sucker for coconut and cream cheese anything, and this checked every single box. THE VERDICT Throughout the night, we watched Talbot go up to each table to check in on everyone, and the chef even came out to talk to us. It was an absolute perfect meal top to bottom, start to finish. You can tell how much this entire establishment cares about what they do, and it is a direct reflection on the food. It's not often I can say a meal is flawless, so I have to give them their flowers in a long well deserved review. Five stars, two thumbs up, and a standing ovation for Talbots Taproom. P.s. Extra kudos for all the cool art and overall atmosphere. There is a ton of stuff to do outside as well but we were there on a chilly night so remained inside. We saw a patio, disc golf, and all sorts of other activities, even a tree house. We can't wait to make the hour trip again and enjoy all they have to offer once summer is in full swing!

Service and the bar was upbeat, friendly and overall excellent from "Good Morning" bartender "P"…read more Drinks were good. Wife had the Always Sunny which she enjoyed. Steak was well seasoned and cooked properly. I had the Asian BBQ, Nobody Likes a Party Pooper. Everything tasted pretty good but was all cool. NOTHING came out hot. Not sure how they try to keep the ribs and pork belly warm but it wasn't working. And not sure why the egg roll and potstickers were cool. Nice relaxed, comfortable atmosphere at the bar.
