Temple Hill Tavern — Restaurant in Town of New Windsor

The Appetizers were fresh and hot and the Salad ordered tasted good and had a very nice portion size. My wife ordered the shepherds pie. This unfortunately was not good at all. I hate to give a bad review but the shepherd pie was awful and tasted nothing like a shepherds pie. The meat was greasy black over cooked salty ground meat soaked in oil with a few bits of carrots (4 tiny pieces in total) no other vegetables. This was definitely over cooked left over meat ( not sure what kind) loaded with salt and grease and covered with mashed potatoes in top. This definitely was not a shepherd pie. We were planning on going there for dinner one nite this week because a friend recommended the place. Unfortunately we probably won’t go back. We we’re a little frustrated when trying to order because we wanted a few recommendations being our first time there. We asked our server what she recommended and she said she didn’t like to recommend food. My wife asked how the shepherds pie was and she said it was good. (Definitely not good or worth $15.98). Lunch cost $60 more than we would normally spend, but we wanted to give your place a try. We like to support local businesses so spending a little more money on lunch at local establishment is something we always do. The server definitely worked hard that day and we left a very good tip even though we were not completely satisfied with my wife’s lunch. It was not her fault how the food was prepared. Not trying to bash your business we were just very disappointed on that one dish that was served and want you to know what came out of your kitchen. The cook should have known better then to serve that...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Burger Heaven — Juicy, Bold, and Absolutely Crave-Worthy

This burger spot has officially ruined all other burgers for me — in the best way possible. From the first bite, it was clear: they don’t just make burgers here, they craft them.

I ordered their signature double smash burger with cheese, grilled onions, pickles, and house sauce on a toasted brioche bun — and it was everything. The patties were perfectly seared with crispy edges and a juicy center, full of beefy flavor that only comes from high-quality meat and a screaming-hot grill. The bun was soft yet sturdy, never soggy, and the toppings were fresh, balanced, and layered with care.

Their hand-cut fries were golden, crispy, and seasoned just right — especially when dipped in their smoky chipotle aioli. We also tried the loaded fries (bacon, cheese, green onion, the works), and they were dangerously addictive.

The vibe of the place was laid-back and cool — retro diner meets modern hangout. Quick service, friendly staff, and everything made fresh to order. You can tell they take pride in their food.

This isn’t fast food — it’s real food served fast. Whether you're a classic cheeseburger lover or into bold creations with blue cheese, bacon jam, or even fried eggs, this place has something that’ll hit the spot.

Five stars, no question. Come hungry — and maybe wear...

I have heard really good reviews from friends and family, so a co-worker and I tried it for lunch. The restaurant was cute, and we were happy to see a small dining room, just off the bar area. It was somewhat crowded-- a large group and 4 other tables in the dining room, as well as about 10 customers at the bar. We were promptly greeted and given menus. The menu had a wide variety of sandwiches and entrees, as well as a full listing of daily specials. All of the items were reasonably priced. The Buffalo wings appetizer was delicious- some of the best wings we've had in quite some time! Hot, spicy, and crispy. The entrees were​delicious as well and the portions were large. Out server was very attentive and friendly, and later told us she was taking care of all the tables and the bar. We were both pleasantly surprised by this restaurant, and I have plans to go back next week to try other menu items. I would definitely recommend this restaurant based on this...
