DoGoods Tavern — Restaurant in Myerstown

I know all 5-star reviews are suspect, but my visit to DoGoods Tavern deserves the rating. My friends and I picked DoGoods based on their menu, which had several items I could eat on my restricted diet (no carbs). It was a Saturday evening and we did have reservations.

We walked into the restaurant and instantly loved the decor. The place felt like a clean, friendly, Old World Pub. We were promptly seated and had quick service. Our waitress said she was in training, but still did an excellent job of waiting on us.

The food was DELICIOUS. I chose the special of the day, Thai BBQ chicken and shrimp, and loved every bite. My friends ordered regular menu items including the spicy chicken wings, the haddock, and fish fry. Not a single complaint at the table. We all loved our food.

Everything in the restaurant was clean. I made a stop in the restroom and found it well stocked and scrubbed. Even the corners of the floors and stalls were clean.

It's unusual these days to visit a restaurant and have everything go just right, but that was our experience last week. I'll definitely be back to eat at DoGoods Tavern. I also recommend it for their quality of food, and the fact they had meals with only protein and vegetables, a rarity in this part of the country. Definitely a...

I had a chicken chipotle BLT wrap, fries and mac and cheese. The meal was definitely underwhelming. Chicken was really chard on the outside and slightly pinker than I like my chicken. There didn't seem to be enough other toppings for it to be called a BLT I would expect more than a few crumbles of bacon and 2 small slices of tomato. I would be surprised if a whole bacon sliced was used in the wrap. I forgot there was avocado in it until I saw the smallest sliver of it on the edge of my wrap. A good bit of my chipotle sauce was leaking out of the wrap leaving all the chicken and toppings dry and the outside of the wrap wet and messy.

The mac and cheese was actually dry and tasteless. It probably could have used some shredded cheese on top just to lock in moisture. My toddler just spit it out and wouldn't touch it.

I thought the portion size for the French fries was off, especially considering you have to pay extra for them. I don't know if I got the bottom of the basket but most of my fries were little crunchy nubs.

I have really been looking forward to them opening up but I was definitely not impressed. I probably will give them another shot but it's going to take a little while.

I will say the staff was very friendly and attentive & decor was...

Went on a double date here and had a great time. The tavern is decorated in rich colors, warm wood and is very nice inside. We were greeted by friendly faces, sat in a nice room with plenty of space at the table. The food was so good! Everything we got turned out great. The French onion soup was yummy but the onions a little on the crunchy side and pretty salty. The special of the day was a Thai bbq chicken breast with shrimp and sides which was sooooo good!! I had the fish and chips- a nice piece of fish in a crunchy batter served with a basil cream sauce and interesting tarter- very good. The chips were house made - I typically prefer French fries and would probably change to that next time. The chips were thick cut rounds of potatoes, not crispy or hot- nothing special. The brussel sprouts were tasty and well cooked. The suicide wings are definitely spicy and very yummy if you like to turn up the heat a few notches. Baked fish was also a win says my friend. We had a delightful server in training who did an excellent job!! I forgot her name but she had long blonde hair and was nice, checked on us regularly and took care of us very well. 😊 The food was so good I forgot to take pictures! Just captured the...
