Cracker burger with taters and onions.
Ruthie L.

A bit pricey but great food, customer service and atmosphere! We split this burger and some taters & onions got one drink and two beers... Our bill was $50! Seemed like a lot to us but it was very good just maybe not $50 good lol we did enjoy the place and the atmosphere. We will be back again I'm sure. We got the cracker burger and added blue cheese crumbles... ah-mazing! Definitely recommend trying them out but just know it will be a little bit pricey.

I'm updating what is easily one of the Top 5 Restaurants in Highlands County for my last review of the year! Arriving- They are on US Route 27 North and there is a turning lane for South bounders so getting there is a snap. The parking lot is huge for the size of the restaurant so no problems there. Pro Tip- Breakfast hours are only Fri-Sun and for that they open at 7 am. Ambience- Lots of folks agonize over whether it's a bar or a restaurant. The bar itself only seats about eight. The lunch and dinner menus are extensive. The décor is very casual Florida kitsch. My vote is it is a restaurant with a significant bar scene on Friday and Saturday night and Sunday afternoon football. Pro Tip- The bar chairs have backs and look very nice, but they are unbelievably slippery to sit on! Beware! Adult Libations- Reasonably priced full bar. About twelve rotating taps. See my picture. A decent selection of bottled beer. Pro Tip- On Fri-Sun, one of the only places in Highlands County you can find a full bar starting at 7am! Customer Service- I've never had a problem. These are nice folks doing a great job. Food- On this visit I was here for breakfast. The menu is less extensive than the other meals of the day. Most of the basics are there but a glaring omission is omelets! It's clear, looking at the open kitchen, they could offer them if they wanted to! I went with a standard, scrambled, sausage patty, taters & onions, and toast. I've posted the menu so you can see all the prices. It was out in good time and 5-star excellent! The Taters & Onions are a signature side for them and off-the-charts crazy good! They are also available at lunch & dinner. I highly recommend skipping fries and going with these bad boys! So, you're looking for a super casual well-priced meal and an adult libation or two or three. In Highlands County, you can't go wrong here. Probably 4.5 stars!

The bar and food

The service was awesome! Very attentive and they go the extra mile!!! For example they bring you a pitcher of beer and bring new cold glasses each time!!! They brought a styrofoam cup for you soda outside to keep it cooler. The food was great!!! Atmosphere is good!

This has become our go to place restaurant when we are in Sebring. Service is always great and food is served hot and fresh. If you aren't in the mood to try their frog legs, their burgers are great! The frog legs from here are my son's favorite. We ordered the gator tail as appetizer and we all liked them. Good selection of beer. So if you ever visit Sebring or live there, this is a must!

This food was really good. My husband and I went with our daughter and her boyfriend. The boyfriend had the burger which he said was the best burger he has ever had in his life. It was huge, so forewarning go with a huge appetite, because all the portions are enormous. My daughter had loaded fries along with one of their specialty chicken wraps. She loved it. My other daughter had a house special as well as finished it....which she rarely does! My husband had a beer brought sandwich with fries smothered and sauerkraut. Which he completely devoured. The fish sandwich here is Swai which was amazing because I love Swai. But it was huge. It took half a platter on its own. the bread was toasted. Nice and crunchy was served with fresh cut, red onions, tomato, and sliced pickles. Just delicious I would highly recommend any of the food there.

This is my bar and there's a very special reason for this review. This bar has been in existence…read moreunder the Tap Room name since 2009 and it's always been a smoking bar. I'm a non-smoker but I tolerated it because I enjoyed the people and the other aspects of the atmosphere. After 15 years, as of January 1st, the Tap Room is now NON-SMOKING! My lungs are very happy! Management is taking steps to remove as much of the odor as they can. Other than this big news, this is your typical dive bar- * Cheap drinks * TouchTunes Jukebox * Pool tables and dart boards * Occasional live entertainment * No food other than packaged snacks Pro Tip- They have a back entrance with easy parking. It's not fancy but it's used more than the front door! Note that the parking lot is a disaster and needs to be repaved. Drive in slowly! Atmosphere- Like many dive bars, the crowd varies from day to night. The crowd is older and more sedate during the day and younger and a bit rowdier at night. The TouchTunes jukebox is extremely popular here with many folks using the app on their phones. Genres played are mostly Classic Rock and Country with a little Pop occasionally thrown in. The bar is very large and is a bit unusual as there are both low and high chairs in different sections. Note that many of the low chairs desperately need to be replaced so choose carefully where you sit your thirsty ass down! Adult Libations- The big joke is the Tap Room has no taps! That's right, no drafts here but plenty of mostly domestic bottles and a full liquor bar. Bartenders- This place has 5 bartenders plus an excellent manager that often tends bar. The bartender's range in age from 30s to 70s. They are generally decent with some more conversational than others. Now that's NON-SMOKING, I'd love to give it 5 stars but the parking lot and the collection of crappy chairs hold me at 4!

Very pleasant stop. The bartender and the several locals were very friendly to a couple thirsty…read moresouls from Venice. Tap room with no beer on tap, but thanks to Yelp, we knew that going in.

Ah the Moose Lodge. Basically, they are a community service fraternal organization and not everyone…read moreunderstands that! From their website- "With a membership of over 1,000,000 members, our presence is felt in over 1,500 communities across all 50 states and four Canadian provinces, plus Great Britain. The Moose organization contributes between $75 to $100 million worth of community service (counting monetary donations, volunteer hours worked and miles driven) annually." Membership- They do great work and I've been a member for years. You do need to be a member and dues are around $65 annually. A non-member can visit but a member needs to be with you. Facilities- Most are similar to my local Highlands County Lodge. They are a combination of restaurant, bar, and recreational center. My location has an inside bar and an outside Tikki Hut bar. There is often live entertainment. Food and drinks are inexpensive and nothing fancy. Why do you join? 1. You want to give back to your community. 2. You want to socialize with likeminded folks. If you run into a member, I suggest you arrange a visit. You can thank me later!

Great place. If you are a Moose member, stop in because you are instantly a friend. It's worth…read morejoining just for the Sunday meals. I had 1/2 BBQ chicken with BB and slaw all for $7. Once a month they have steak, Went with the wife had a 1lb NY strip (cooked perfect) with dirty rice(would rather have a baked tater--oh well) and carrots along with 2 drinks each all for $30. They also have many special events such as car shows,biker rally's,etc. All in all just a fun place with good people.

I always love it when a new restaurant opens in my Highlands County and this place debuted in…read moreNovember. It's a little off the beaten path for me and I'm a lazy ass so it took me until this weekend to get there! Arriving- It's in the clubhouse of the North Golf Course in the Highland's Ridge Community. Follow the signs for that clubhouse or let your GPS do the work. If you are familiar with the area, it was formally The Tavern. Ambience- So this is what a lot of folks would call a Country Club restaurant. As I had patronized the old tenants, I was curious how they were going to transform it into an Irish Pub. The answer is they didn't! It looks nothing like and Irish Pub. It's a large space with lots of natural light and traditional furniture. It has lots of outside seating that's covered with ceiling fans and many seats have a nice view! There is a very small bar that seats about six. In short, it looks like a Country Club restaurant. So much for pub ambience! Customer Service- Awesome, maybe seven stars! I had substantial interactions with the manager, bartender, and a server. All were exceptional. Adult Libations- Definitely not a pub style bar. It's a full bar with just a few taps but nothing special. Food- Like the ambience, it's an American menu with a couple of Irish dishes. There's Bangers & Mash and Shepard's Pie. Other than that, they throw in a couple of Irish terms to deceive you but it's really an American menu. There're enough choices to satisfy most folks. See their website. I ordered Irish Brisket Flatbread- Brisket, bacon, caramelized onions, diced tomatoes, BBQ sauce, mozzarella cheese @ $13. It was out in good time and plated very nicely. Plenty of food for the price so good value. The flatbread was nicely crisp. I love caramelized onions and that's the base here. Everything was very fresh. Plenty of brisket. Unfortunately, the onions overpowered the other ingredients, so the flavors were not balanced. It was tasty but needed a little work to be a winner. Conclusion- If you're looking for an Irish Pub, you're in the wrong place. If you're looking for an American menu that has some potential with a great staff and beautiful outside seating, give it a try. As they are new and the staff is awesome combined with the outside seating, I'm going to be a little charitable and say four stars!

Stopped by twice and both times were told they only had bar food avail. Waste of time to drive…read morethere for fried food.

I've eaten here many times, but this time my meal was exceptional! Arriving- This place is out in the boondocks of Avon Park! Trust your GPS to get you started. Once you are closing in there is excellent signage. Of course, you're parking at the clubhouse and there is a decent lot. Watch out for golf carts! Atmosphere- This is a golf club restaurant that is open to the public. It's a big, bright, airy place with two large rooms and a beautiful bar. As many of the customers are just off the golf course, it's very casual. It has quite a few TVs for catching a game but it's definitely not a sports bar. Customer Service- Our server was a bit of a mix. She was very new, very nice, but lacking in knowledge. With a little time, I think she'll be great. Food- A combo of unique and classic American fare. You've got your burgers, chicken parm and alfredo dishes. There is a selection of flatbreads that are awesome, and a giant pretzel served with warm beer cheese that is incredible to share! I was on a mission. I had seen an 8 oz. skirt steak with chimichurri on the menu. It's not often I see chimichurri and I was drooling. I paired it with some fries and looked forward to an amazing lunch. It was out in good time. For a lunch plate, it was a very nice presentation. The nicely seared steak was coated with chimichurri with some additional served on the sided. The pickled onions were a nice touch. The fries were beautifully cooked. The steak was fantastic and a perfect medium rare. The chimichurri was bursting with flavor and the fries were exceptional! The meal was an easy five stars, but the service was a bit off. I'm going with four stars and a strong recommendation to get the skirt steak!

- Professional testing of new Nuggets! -…read more Did you know I was a Certified Professional BK Nuggets Tester (CPBKNT)? That's OK, I mostly keep quiet about it, but these new Nuggets are a big deal! They are out early in many locations! Customer Service- I went through the drive-thru using the app and the experience was exactly as I have come to expect from this location. Seamless, including the employee using my 1st name and a smile! Food- I ordered 10 Pc. Nuggets & Medium Fries with the Walmart+ discount so I paid $5.94. Sweet! Air Fryer- I think these machines were made for folks who bring home fried food! I popped everything in the fryer for two minutes and it was hot & crispy as if it was just made! Appearance- See my picture. They now come in a box instead of a bag. The Nuggets were perfectly cooked with none damaged in any way. Taste- A mild crispiness. The batter stayed on the meat through every bite. They were very juicy and clearly all white meat. I couldn't get over how juicy they were. The 10 Pc. Comes with 2 sauces and, in my opinion, it should come with 3. I enjoyed every bite. Experience- Remember I told you I was a CPBKNT? I made that up, but you probably knew that! The 4 Pc., size would go really well with the new & improved Whopper. Overall, this was a 4-star pleasure!
