Customer Reviews
This is the perfect place to go after a paddle, hike, climb or bike on the plateau! The food is top notch, it’s in a beautiful historic building & the staff could not be nicer. The food is freshly made, delicious, it came out quickly & there was no wait for seating. Try the pork rinds & onion rings…wow!
New owners and new direction! Tanners now has a fully stocked bar! Wartburgs first legitimate bar that is legal! Food was great. Service was great and plenty of it.
It's one of those small town jewels. Those old soda shops have been part of the community forever. Well worth the 30-minute detour. 911 and Military get a discount too. 🫡👮♂️👨🚒👨⚕️ Food: The menu is limited to burgers, sandwiches, and desserts. They do have salads for the weirdos.. 🙃 Burgers: Hand pressed patties. No frozen pre-made meat here. Thick and juicy just like they should be. The buns were cold, but I'll forgive them that. But a toasted bun would have made it next level. Onion Rings: Deliciousness. Probably the best I have had in a while. No old grease taste, well cooked and seasoned. Fries: They were fries.... 🤷♂️ Dessert: Unfortunately, we were too full to indulge. 😢
Great food and service. It was quiet when I arrived in the early evening on a Friday. Would recommend both the pimento cheese burger with sweet potato fries and the brownie Sunday.
For outdoor loving couples, get up early and do a two hour hike along nearby Obed or in Frozen Head State park (great hiking). Work up an appetite and then go to Tanner’s for breakfast (or lunch). Perfect start to a day. Simple menu of classic southern breakfast items. CLEAN, historic and charming. Wish this place was in Kingston where I live as I would be there every Saturday AM and probably go back for ice cream in the evening. Bathroom (CLEAN) has a shower and explains it used to be for miners to shower and now is there for Cumberland Trail hikers to use. Historic items throughout store. High ceiling, very neat,unassuming place I am certain most people bypass not knowing this gem is right there in tiny downtown Wartburg.
