Crossroads Grill and Bar

We ate here as we pulled off the highway for a break. If you are looking for an interesting…read moresitsown alternative to the normal lunch or dinner stop, this is a great choice. Schuler's is a beautiful restaurant in a very cool (and historic) setting. The service was very good, and the everyone was very friendly. There is an extensive wine list, full bar and plenty of interesting beers to choose from. You definitely need to try the famous cheese spread, but the corn dip was also good. All of our entrees were delicious and had large portions - everyone took home leftovers. Overall I would plan to spend a few extra minutes walking around if you've never been here. There is a lot to see and take in. There is plenty of seating for large groups, a quiet date, or family dinner. I would have given this 5 stars, but the price felt a bit heavy for what it was. 5 of us had lunch, no alcohol, shared 1 appetizer and it was $200. A bit pricey for what we expected but the food was still good.

I hadn't been here in decades. We decided on this spot for a quick family get-together so I was…read morelooking forward to see how it had changed. First, prices are Expensive. Okay, I will reserve judgment but this is not a restaurant where we will be eating often. Our server really went out of her way to suggest the halibut. Even my cousin who tried to order the salmon got talked into the halibut. I wish I hadn't ordered it. The server then forgot to bring my soup so I didn't have that until after got my entree. Oops. Unfortunately the halibut was ruined by the kitchen. Overcooked, tough and dry. I had a few bites of my wife's chicken club which was delicious. I really wished then I had ordered the chicken. My uncle had the brisket sandwich and said it was excellent, so another promising choice. The salads were huge. I did not order one but they certainly looked fresh. If I go back I will stick with soup/salad and a sandwich. Probably skip the entree.

Wow! All of the Stars!…read more Tavern 109 in Williamston is such a cool spot. It used to be a bank, and is now a quaint exposed brick, retro ambiance restaurant. I felt like I was in a movie with Johnny Depp playing John Dillinger, or that Al Capone was going to race down Main Street leaning out the window letting his "typewriter" lose, with a black and white cop car screaming up behind him. It just puts you in a different period. And the food! My goodness. We ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Pizza, Jalapeño Artichoke Dip and my wife got a side of the Ginger Carrot Bisque. Phenomenal, all of it. I don't know what I enjoyed the most. The pizza was a perfect 10" size, with incredible flavor and crunchy crust. They certainly do not skimp on toppings. The artichoke dip was insanely good! The naan bread was baked to perfection and sprinkled with a perfect amount of salt to complement the dip. The soup was a good as it sounds too! Service was top notch. We were seated immediately (around 9pm) and our waitress was very helpful. She made sure our drinks were topped off and kept us up to speed on the status of our food. We will absolutely be back and we will be recommending Tavern 109 to all of our family & friends.

As far as the ambiance goes, you wouldn't be able to tell from the exterior but the inside is very vibrant, lively and inviting! Plenty of televisions for the sports lovers out there as well. Lastly, the food and beer. The menu is a little small but I do believe it has something for everyone and I'm never disappointed with my choices. The burgers are especially delicious! I also love the draft beers they offer on tap, the Vanilla Java Porter from Atwater Brewery being my favorite! (If they still offer that one) Overall, this may not be my absolute favorite restaurant in Mason but it is up there with the best in my opinion!

Having recently had a heart attack I'm very selective on entrées but found a nice salmon and spinach wrap that fit the bill, wasn't a ton of flavor, but I doctored it up and it was fine.

I ordered the Triple D Burger ($15). A 1/3 lb Cheeseburger with pickles, onions and a slice of tomato, deep fried in Joe's Famous Batter Mix. This was made famous on the TV show "Diner's, Drive-ins, and Dives." The burger was very unique. The batter is excellent and it was cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the burger and I recommend it for the experience. It is a very good Burger, it's just not in my top 10. Top 15? Maybe. I think my biggest issue was the meat itself, it was a little bland in taste and texture. The frying also gave the cheese a slightly odd mouth feel. I think next time I'd try just the regular batter burger, which is just the patty fried, not the whole thing. I enjoyed the fries that came with it, they were very tasty. I also ordered the 4 piece Chicken Dinner ($17). This has Tender chicken battered in Joe's batter mix fried to perfection. I got this to go and reheated in the oven and air fried to re crisp the next day. It came out perfectly. It was excellent. Super tasty and tender and the batter is excellent. I can only imagine it's even better fresh. I very much recommend the chicken. The service was super friendly and everything was very efficient. The food came out quickly and the prices were very fair. Overall a 5 star review. The Burger is worth a unique experience and the chicken is excellent. Would I return? Absolutely.

We were looking for some late night eats in the area and as I was reading out the yelp options for…read morewhat was open, my husband asked "What are gizzards?" so of course I had to bring him here so he could find out for himself. I think he went a little bit overboard however (as usual) because he ordered the gizzard sampler platter which came with plain, garlic & herb, and cajun chicken gizzards because he wanted to try them all. He admitted he should have just tried a small order. He did like the gizzards and they give a good amount of dipping sauces, but he said it was just way too much so we ended up throwing about half the order away. I ordered the deep fried olives to start and the smothered chicken for my meal. I love olives and the deep fried ones were tasty but a bit heavy and oily and if I'm being honest, i would have preferred just the olives themselves as an app. I did finish them later but it's definitely another item you have to eat in moderation. I personally though the potatoes with my meal were terrible. I like to eat potatoes without gravy but it wasn't possible with these. My husband drowned them in gravy and ate them for me. The chicken was fine though and the mushrooms were tasty. We went inside to order but ended up taking our meal to go. There was music and games and the employees and owner were very friendly but this is definitely a bar vibe spot where the locals come to drink and everyone knows each other. They had really good wifi and most importantly, my husband got to experience gizzards for the first time so I am glad we stopped in.

This place gives off major "Up North" vibes! You always kind of worry about how good or bad the food will be when the parking lot is empty but turns out they had just opened and we were some of the first customers of the day. By the time we were finished the parking lot was filling up. Our family of 5 ordered the small meat plate (pulled pork, ribs, brisket), fries, greens, kids chicken tenders, kids cheeseburger, a couple brownie sundae's, and a few beers & pops. We enjoyed all of it. Personally, the brisket was my favorite. There wasn't anything too special about the fries, they were basic, hot, and delicious. The greens were tender and were Carolina style (could taste the apple cider vinegar). No complaints from the kids which is always a good thing. The brownie sundae was huge! We shared and could have easily split just one. Now here are the most "expensive" things that didn't cost any money. As soon as we stepped out of the cars you could smell the cherry wood. Luckily, the smells are free or I would have been broke. Our server didn't seem like she wanted to be there at first (who can blame her, it's work on a beautiful day) but she warmed up to us and we ended up leaving her a nice tip. The food runner was an older lady and she was so charming and even brought out a bowl of water for our dog. One of the managers stopped by to make sure everything was tasting good. The man smoking the meats thanked us for stopping by as we left with our stomachs full. Then a patron in the parking lot chatted with us for a few minutes. Kindness, attentiveness, and common courtesy are lost arts and go a long way in my book! We'll definitely be back. In fact, we're heading there now with the rest of the travel baseball team to enjoy good food, kind service, while we kill some time before the next game. Dang it, I just realized I didn't photograph the food but if you've seen a plate of smoked meats then you can imagine.
