    I went to Tarnation Saturday night to catch the Ghosts of Mississippi show. It was a nice fall-like evening in August so the patio door was wide open and it was so comfortable all night!! As the band started the placed filled up!!! So much so that I had the closest seat to he stage that suddenly I couldn't see it because of all the people, but they were having fun. I didn't check it out but there was a whole other bar on the north side of the digs, which seemed to be a little quieter. I liked that the ladies room was right there across from the east end of the bar. Parking is easy as they're on the corner so you can park on either side of Main St or whichever street is on the north side of the building. I liked that as I sat there I saw a local business owner from down the street came in... for dinner. I said: you have food. He replied how he gets enough of his own so he comes here. When I was ordering I asked my server if she'd opt for the Smashed Burger or Korean BBQ Chicken? She said "we're known for our chicken." She wasn't wrong... it was delicious!! The first few bites were a little salty...soy sauce esque but then it got better...way better! t didn't come with a side and while I debated if I would finish the sandwich or not, I was glad it didn't, nor that I opted not to add one. I appreciated that a fellow I was sitting with made the comment she hadn't been back and he was ready for another drink, he looked to the bar. Made the comment she was behind the bar and didn't get upset, walked up to the bar to get his drink. We all realized... she's covering both sides of the bar and the restaurant; definitely can't get upset for her not popping back over, she did an excellnt job all night! The bathroom is big enough and there's only two stalls. So don't be like one self important woman last night who made a lengthy phone call while in the handicap stall....leaving dozens of women to use one stall. Tarnation has it all... great food, attentive & friendly service, great acoustics for live music, easy parking and a very comfortable atmosphere, there was even a sofa near the table in front of the patio door. I'm looking forward to my next meal and hopefully catching another gig here, thanks Tarnation Tavern for a fun and delicious Saturday night!!

    Wow!! Amazing!! The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting. The food is excellent. Monthly special-Philly cheesesteak was superb, as well as the Nashville hot chicken. All of the staff are friendly .

    Great things about Juniors…read more - Good gluten-free options including the batter they use for frying - Nice outdoor patio with music on the weekends - Music inside too - Open Mics on Wednesdays - I have liked everything I've had - Good selection of beer - Service is always fast and excellent This place cares about quality and service and it shows. Did I mention that it's reasonably priced also?

    We arrived and in accordance to the sign, asked at the hostess station to sit inside (it was an 88…read moredegree day) and were told no one was allowed for inside dining and to find a seat in the shade. It was hot, sunny, there were flies and bees--yet we could only sit outside. I selected this place because of it's supposed atmosphere, beer & drink menus, and food. Since we weren't given, told about or offered beer and drink menus (in addition to being forced to sit outside after we asked to sit inside), that meant atmosphere and menus were negatives. My Mom and niece ordered the chicken, bacon, ranch wraps with fries and thought they were good. I ordered the fish & chips and upgraded my side to cheesy chive hash browns. The lime-radish slaw was dry and bland, the fish was fishy so I doused it with all the juice from my lemon slices that I could, but the hash browns were yummy. Our waitress was okay, but the bartender was the real star, making drinks, running inside to get our meals and deliver them, plus deliver ranch and ketchup later.
