We stopped for a quick lunch on our way home from Maine. I had buffalo mac and cheese. The sauce was homemade and it was finished under the broiler with some blue cheese and some mozzarella. It was very good. My bride had the Turkey Club. She stated that the turkey was very good and not overly salty. Hers also came with fries, which she thought were also very good. They have over two dozen beers/ciders on tap. The prices were reasonable. Neither one of us were able to finish our meals. We certainly will stop by again when in the area.

Grabbed a Post-Hike burger after a 3 night backpacking trip. Did not disappoint. Food was great. Beer was good. Staff were friendly. Hard to fathom a better reward after 30 miles on the trail Also! Easy walk to a cute little downtown!

We stopped in Kelli’s for a snack. We asked to sit outside, after we did get seated, it took quite a bit of time for them to come outside and get our order. We had our pup with us, they are very dog friendly, they even have a menu for your dog. Food was great. We had a snack with wings and fries. The only problem was the beer I ordered, one from Frost and another from Burlington Beer was a bit warm and flat. I did mention to the waitress and she did offer me to get another beer, but I declined. We would go back for sure. Love the outdoor seating.

Ate outside with our dog. Service was great and the was very good. Wife enjoyed her salad with grilled steak cooked to perfection. I had a great cheeseburger and fries. Excellent choice for a walk in with no wait. A band was setting up for later and seating was beginning to fill up. Plan on going back. Okay…. It’s a week later and we were back. Same great waitress and good food. After a week in Maine, I was seafooded out and the prime rib was on special. Done! Wife had the salad with grilled chicken. Both were delicious choices. And, they have added a doggy menu. Unfortunately, ours is on a diet. Thanks folks! Y’all are awesome.

Sometimes you have to get off the Main Streets in life to find the real gems. This Tavern has been here for many years, but Kelli & Scott have turned it around & created what is becoming the best known secret in town. Great choices on the menu, generous portions, anything you would want to drink, very clean, comfy seating and outstanding service!
