Hot Hill Tavern — Restaurant in Thomaston

This place is a must visit, for locals and tourists alike. If you want to see what a community based restaurant looks like, look no further. The owners are such down to earth, giving, loving folks that care so much about their patrons and friends that you so rarely see these days. The food is excellent, the head chef, Nate, cares so deeply about serving excellent food, and his wife Carly brings a vibe to the tavern that you can't find anywhere else. Long story short, you are missing out if you don't sit at the bar and converse with the staff, they bring a type of magic that has to be experienced to believe. They bring so much to the community, way over the top - they support local schools, charities, events, you name it. Full size candy bars (don't tell the kids!) for Halloween.

There is love here, and you can see it with...

Honestly, the inconsistency with the menu price and what we were actually charged is what deterred me the most. I feel if you’re going to be charged 4$ extra for meat, it should be disclosed on the menu, as it usually is at other restaurants. I feel sauce should come with meals free unless you’re asking for extra (which also isn’t an issue, it just would be nice if it was disclosed on the menu) which we were charged extra for ranch that we actually didn’t get. The ranch came out with our nachos and the waitress ended up taking the ranch away anyway. My friend asked for 10 wings and only got 9- which wasn’t an issue at all, but she was charged for 10. We arrived at 4:30, and ordered around 4:45. Food didn’t come out until 5:25. Each item we ordered was inconsistent with menu price, besides the 1$ wings...

First time at this local gem. They are riding the bar/pool hall/live music type of vibe and it really works. Very welcoming from the staff and really fun chatting with our waitress Nicole. There's a bit of a latin/Caribbean edge to some of the food and desserts that was spot on — jerk chicken, arroz con maricosos, and hot apple churros. Everything we had was beyond expectations for a bar room setting. Sadly, you don't see places like this much anymore. There's something for everyone and you can eat and drink here without sacrificing an electric bill payment. Generous portions, too. We really loved everything about it. Get the fried mushrooms and get all the sauces (they are all homemade). Wings, too... also fantastic. Don't you dare skip dessert either! We are definitely...
