Merrill's Tavern — Restaurant in Atkinson

Since I was hungry and also wanted to take in the Masters in the company of people who are also golf fans I thought this would be the perfect place. Add the fact that I decided to play the course on a regular basis this year and the idea of mixing and mingling with folks who hang out there makes perfect sense. I had 2 drinks and an overpriced salad but that's OK as I expected both to be on the high $ side. I had some conversation with another diner and then decided to pay and leave. I don't usually even look at my check but I was a little curious and then surprised to see that they charged me for 3 drinks - not the 2 I actually received.

My brothers Country Club looked real good too. May try...

What fantastic food! We got a takeout order for our office on a super busy day, which included potato skins, tuna wontons, cheeseburgers, a fried fish sandwich, and a cobb salad. Every single thing was absolutely delicious. We are so close to Merrill's, and yet for some reason we never think to eat there. But that will change, because the food was perfect. Thank you for a delicious feast on...
