We had heard this restaurant was opening and decided to give it a try after reading the menu. I had the beef brisket (8 oz portion instead of 16 oz). Although a bit fatty, the flavor was very good as well as the accompanying sauce. I choose the cornbread and mac & cheese as my 2 sides. The cornbread was very tasty. The mac & cheese was not the usual but I think it had green chiles in it. It was very flavorful and cheesy. We also had the tavern burger which was 1/2 lb of natural beef with cheddar and BBQ pulled pork. Very different combination and worth returning for. The lemonade pickles were very tasty since I don't like dill pickles. The house dusted potato chips were so so and our waitress (who was attentive) offered to replace them with another side. We choose the french fries and they were fresh and tasty. We are fortunate that this place is fairly close to our house since we will be returning.
