There isn't huge leap from those menus to this, but what I do appreciate about this location is just how beautiful it is. I have recently started appreciating Fenton a lot more, and this location consistently comes up as a bright spot. If you get out of work early enough, the happy menu is pretty solid. Their two house beers and several items are $5 each and they have other items also. Predominantly a BBQ joint, their meats are very good and of course the mac and cheese is amazing. I've only been here during non-busy hours so I can't speak to a busy night, but the service has always been spot on and wonderful. Always friendly, and always attentive. I think this is a great spot for a night out of BBQ as long as you don't expect BBQ like you'd find in Austin, TX. Definitely give it a go.

We had a great experience at The Tavern, Kitchen and Bar in Fenton, Michigan. Normally, I don't eat…read moreout near this office, but I haven't been feeling well during my visit. I am too tired to cook so we explored several new dining options. This being one of them. The weather here is glorious. Gentle breeze, not too humid and about 80°, which is far from the high 90s. I would be experiencing at home. I have been enjoying the mocktails I've been trying so I also ordered one here. It was also watermelon based and very good. We sat out on the patio and after I moved out of the direct sun it was a very comfortable. Taylor was our server and was great -giving us plenty of time and some good suggestions. My nephew, who loves Bavarian style pretzels, ordered that for an appetizer this evening not only was it huge, but it came with three different items to dip it in! Cheese, Jalapeño Cream Cheese, and Cinnamon Butter! Each one had been freshly made and whipped and was very good. The pretzel was as late and fluffy as a Bavarian pretzel could be and was nice and warm so the perfect item for dipping in the above mentioned delicious dips! The nephew ordered Chicken Parmesan and also ordered some Roasted Parmesan crunchy Potatoes as his side, I ordered the Pecan Crusted Chicken Breast over a lovely Green Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette on the side. Both of our entries were delicious and my nephews Parmesan crusted roasted potatoes were also very good. We each admitted we would definitely order them a second time and maybe even a third!! It was very pleasant dining on the patio. Our server Taylor was very attentive and checked on us frequently, ensuring we had everything we needed. This place was very busy, essentially packed and obviously a very popular place for Friday night diners! We could understand why and we would definitely like to come back!!

Blown away that this place has such good reviews - either I went on an insanely bad night or Fenton…read moredoesn't have many good options to choose from so the bar is low! I was told this was Fenton's best dining. Spinach and artichoke dip had no salt and the dip was grainy - almost gritty. It tasted better with salt. My ribeye was greatly overcooked, and for a $45+ steak, you want it cooked correctly. I sent it back and the second ribeye was somehow more burnt and also included a lot more fat. It was so bad it seemed almost intentional the second time. Mac and cheese tasted packaged/pre-made with grocery store bacon bits on top. The garlic potatoes were good. We waited for our check for 20 minutes after eating. Staff members were leaned against the bar and talking, scrolling cell phones, playing with their hair - while looking over at us repeatedly. I finally stood up to go to the front and three waitresses all came over at once and took my card. The manager came over to bring the card and apologized for the delay. Wouldn't come back - if this is Fenton's best, go to another town over for dinner!

Food/Value: Eggplant $15 this was a great value as the marinara sauce was best Ive had in 15 yrs. And, you got 4 big pcs. The rolls are very good, not dried out. Salad (incld): mixed greens, and great dressing. We shared lobster ravioli @$35 + Tortellini Diablo @$24. We both took food home, so value is great. The lobster ravioli was sooo good, the sauce had depth of flavor and ravioli was filled well. It didnt have that weird fish taste some do. The diablo with chix was also very good, but should have a little spicy tag on menu. the chefs sauce is fabulously made. Wine: I love that they have deals on bottles of wine. Very smart on their part......They can still make more money than a glass, but consumer happy too. Only negatives: Like to get them to switch Styrofoam doggie kit to cardboard (for environment & also reheat reasons). 2nd: I dont support veal meals. There are many meal options without killing baby calves.

The space is smaller but very welcoming and definitely feels like a local hangout spot. When you walk in, the specials board is front and center, including their Burger of the Month, which is what I ordered. Mine featured goat cheese, spinach, strawberry compote, and jalapeños. The flavor combination was unique and really worked well together, and the burger itself was juicy. Personally, I would have loved a bit more char for those crispy edges, but the flavors were definitely there. It came with rosemary fries that were thin, crispy, and generously seasoned. I added a side of hot honey for dipping, which ended up being an unexpectedly amazing combo. The restaurant has a great beer selection, plenty of TVs for sports, fun retro-style décor, and soft lighting that creates a relaxed atmosphere. Even at 9 PM, there were families with kids dining, so it feels very family-friendly rather than a late-night bar scene. Noise levels were low enough that conversation was easy, which I really appreciated. Bathrooms were also exceptionally clean. My main hesitation was pricing. A quesadilla was around $15 and my burger was $20, which pushed dinner for one person with a drink and tip to about $35. While that seems comparable to nearby spots like Boston's, it felt a bit high for casual bar-style dining. Parking is limited, but the location is convenient, just minutes from I-75 and surrounded by other restaurants. Service was amazing. We were sad immediately and she checked back often and said what her favorite thing on the menu was. Overall, good food, creative menu options, and a comfortable atmosphere. With a little refinement and maybe slightly better value, this could easily become a regular stop.

They were out of ribs, which is what my dad specifically went there for, and they were also out of draft beer. Dad chose to just have water - and the server brought him a Modelo beer..... he never asked for that The restaurant itself wasn't very clean, and the bathrooms were actually quite dirty. Our server left dirty glasses on the table when she brought our new drinks and forgot the boxes we had asked for, so we ended up just leaving our leftovers. We also asked for drinks to go, only to find out they were out of carryout cups. Just an all-around disappointing experience. It's really too bad because the owners are awesome, and I truly hope they can turn things around. I'd love to see this place get back to being the amazing BBQ restaurant it used to be!

More of a "boutique" taco spot, the restaurant's design is a colorful, modern space that's both fun and inviting. They have a well-tailored one-page menu of amazing options with unique flavors and different combinations of ingredients. You'll find all your classics-- Tacos, burritos, nachos, tortas, quesadillas, salads, bowls, salsas, guacamole, etc. There is an extensive list of tequilas, and I think they may even offer a flight, if you want to try a few. The variety of margaritas, cocktails, beer, and wine is also a list you're going to eventually want to make you're way through! Definitely start your meal with the Salsa Trio (after you've ordered your margs), because you do not want to miss out on their house-fried salty tortilla chips! They will literally change your mind about where you eat your Mexican food....! After having tried most of their tacos, my go-to is the BBQ Pork, and I always pair it with the Spicy Margarita. It's one of my favorite meals, and one of the reasons why is that I never feel gross, heavy, or tired when I leave! (Some Mexican restaurants just make you feel "bleh" afterwards (all that cheese!)) We've always loved our servers and bartenders here, as they are kind, honest, and attentive. They notice when you need a refill or a napkin, even on a busy Friday night! Clean restrooms, great energy, cool vibes! Come stop in if you're ever in or around Fenton, MI! You'll have some fun! And you get tacos, too!!! :D
