Tinkers Creek Road Tavern

Let me start by saying I can’t believe the amount of 5 star reviews on this place. We took a bike ride and stopped in for lunch thinking since it was a nice day we would sit on the patio nope closed for the season. Really didn’t matter because the chairs and tables are so rusty and it looked like the patio hadn’t been attended to in months. We chose to sit at the bar and came to find out that it’s the owners daughter that was the bartender. She was OBNOXIOUS and that is polite I could say far worse. I ordered the beet salad, husband ordered the fish sandwich and fries. The beets were gray..so gross owner got so offended and tried to defend herself saying that they were vacuumed packed and delivered that day. Not a chance! My husband said the fish sandwich was blah and the fries were ok if you like a lot of burnt chicken nuggets with them. The only reason why I can imagine people like this place is because of the smoked meats. Poor smoker guy was the only one working his butt off. I felt so sorry for him because in addition to making the bartender “owners daughter” a medium rare ribeye (poor thing hadn’t eaten in 3 days because of the stress of the restaurant and she let the whole place know) he had to listen to her complain about all the patrons and how bad she hated them. Apparently someone even videotaped her being rude and that really set her off. Which was actually a tad bit entertainingDon’t order a drink with any garnishes before 2:00. They don’t have time to prep! Owner is too busy feeding grandson Oreos. (BTW he hates onion rings, and tomatoes) Another useless bit of info I didn’t care to know about. This place is honestly disgusting and they have had multiple health code violations too. I am getting sick just thinking about my salad. Wish I would have taken a picture

I am thankful for other Google reviews that helped us choose this place, because of I was just driving by, it isn't a place that caught my eye. The food was so good, we came back a second day in a row. I posted a picture of my Memphis Nachos....made with their in- house made potato chips and pulled pork. Delicious and HUGE! I had a burger the second day, it was cookedperfectly. Got a side of the lenten special pierogies. Yum! Nice view of the creek behind the restaurant. I bet it would begorgeous to eat outside when the weather is nicer. Our service was great both days as well.

Tater Kegs loaded with cheese and bacon were a delicious appetizer for the wife and I! I also had the Reuben which had perfect balance and wasn't overloaded with sauerkraut. We had a perfect view of the creek as we dined on the patio. This is a hiddengem!
