Tipsy Toad Tavern — Restaurant in Chapin

We came here as a party of 2 by a recommendation of a family member. We saw that on Saturday nights they either have a live band or karaoke. When we arrived, we saw there was a one way road with slanted parking and were able to find parking fairly easily. When we walked in, we saw it was pretty crowded and we were unsure if we could sit ourselves or if we had to wait to be seated. We ended up seating ourselves in the back tables where there were open chairs. When we sat down, there was no menu or place to scan to view the menu, only a QR code to sign up to sing karaoke. Once we saw a group leave the bar area, we moved to sit at the bar.

Tonight ended up being karaoke night and the crowd was all mid-aged to older people. This place seems like a local type location as many of the patrons seemed to know the staff on a personable level. When we arrived at 8:30pm, it was packed and then died down about 9:30pm. I did overhear a staff member mentioned that it would pick back up again at 10:30pm.

Once at the bar, we did not see any staff, but eventually a staff member arrived. She had been outside helped a patron who had hurt themselves outside. She was quick to get our drink orders and put in our food order. We ordered 2 breakfast shots, 2 miller lite, and 2 dirty Shirley’s. I did not see any drink special menus so I went with my go to drink and it tasted good. We ordered the loaded fries and it took about 20 minutes to come out. When they arrived, I was already disappointed because the fries were crispy with melted shredded cheese and very little bacon pieces. Loaded truly just meant the bare minimum added on top of the fries. We asked for ranch to go with the fries and I did enjoy the ranch. I didn’t end up eating about half the fries bc they were way too crispy to be enjoyable. I will say I did not have any of the other food items, so I only have this small window to base my food experience on.

I only saw 3 staff members total throughout the night. A male cook and 2 female bartenders/waitresses. When we got the check, I was not sure how the prices were going to look like since we never saw a menu. It was a very reasonable priced. Overall, not the worst experience, but as someone not from the area, I would not come back again unless for a...

I never find everything bad at most places.So I'll start with the positives. The staff was friendly and there were plenty of them as I think they were expecting a lot of people for an outdoor event setup in the blocked off street. The food was great... definitely nothing to complain about there.....the negatives...It was a sit yourself establishment and with all the staff nobody came to check on us for menus or drink orders for 20 minutes. When we did order it was 30-40 minutes later before our appetizer came out and only after I asked about it. Then maybe 15 minutes later our food came out. Both were awesome! However if I could suggest possible name changes that would accurately reflect service times. The Tipsy Tourtise,...Toadly Slow....Not Toaday...Toadal Waste Of An Hour And A Half Tavern....Time Consuming Tadpole...Tazed And Confused....The Tardy Toad....Tired Toad...The Fermenting Frog...The Languid Leaper...The Crawl And Croak....The Drowsey Drunkard...The Lazy Lillypad...The Plodding Pond Pouncer...The Reluctant...

Went for late lunch, upon entering hardly no one in the restaurant. Several people outside in the parking lot play cornhole 🕳. We placed our orders and waited and waited. When the food finally came I just was brought my hamburger 🍔 without my extra crispy wing chips and my guest had croutons on her salad 🥗 which she asked for it to come without. I said something to our waitress about my wing chips and she said that she gave the order to someone else. I guess someone outside, we were the only ones in the bar. She brought some out to me on another plate. They were not crispy at all! Very soggy, greasey and cold! They also had no taste to them at all. My hamburger 🍔 was cold as well! The chicken 🐔 that was on my guest salad 🥗 said it was cold as well! I think 🤔 that it will be awhile before...
