A new establishment that has quickly found its footing!

While visiting in the area, my friends took us to The Ford Tavern for lunch before we went grocery shopping across the street. You never go out for groceries on a full stomach, so I was more than happy to agree to try this new establishment!

This restaurant is relatively new to the area and is part of the growing mixed commercial & residential buildings in the area. Don't let that fool you, The Ford Tavern understands their market and has created a comfortable pub atmosphere that folks from outside the neighborhood (such as myself) can enjoy, yet is still current with trends and interesting to the folks who are moving into the surrounding housing spaces. Their decor alone shows that they're paying attention. So now, let's talk about the food ...

We were a three-top on an early September Friday afternoon. Staff had us seated at a high-top almost instantly after we arrived, and were very polite. Two of our party opted for beer, one for a soda. All of our drinks came quickly, everything was cool and refreshing. We chose to share the fried pickle appetizer, it came to our table quick and WOW was it hot! Everyone loved the dish and debated who got to take it home! The breading was thin and delightful on each slice, the sauce to dip was delicious as well.

For entrees, we ordered two breakfast burrito and one shaved turkey tavern club. Each dish was well received by the diner! The portions were so generous two of our party took leftovers home. Wait staff repeatedly visited our table to ask about refills of beer, water or soda. Leftover boxes came quick and it felt like we had settled the check within minutes of declaring we all had full bellies.

This was a great experience and, as I understand it, the menu along with the draft beer choices will continue to change as we roll through the seasons. I really look forward to visiting here again with my friends!
