So i went in sat at the bar and asked the bartender what the best thing to eat was. She said the burgers. So then i asked if they were made fresh or frozen. She said fresh. So i ordered a burger. The burger was just ok. Didn't seem like a fresh made burger. So i had the burger and 1 beer. And asked for the bill. When it came it was $26.00 for a beer and a burger. Way way overpriced for what it was.

For brunch, my go to is the biscuits and gravy. The gravy has a good heat to it and the biscuits are flaky and buttery. For lunch, the buddha bowl and chicken & avocado sandwich are both elevated classics. My husband raves about the fish sandwich - and the salad that comes as a side is anything but simple. When you enter, you'll order with the cashier and then find a seat with your number. Typical counter service - but what makes Northstar special is that the interior feels more like fine dining and the food is much much better than your standard fare. Worth a trip for its own merits, the fact that it's located in a nice shopping area is also a draw, especially for a weekend when you want to have a leisurely stroll.

When we were seated, our waitress brought us some cold water in glasses and gave us menus. I felt like trying some bourbon, so I requested Larceny. There were a lot of tasty looking options on the menu, but I ultimately settled on salmon. My wife requested cod, and my son requested the rib dinner. The ambience of the place was nice. The waitress was friendly and there was a car show outside, which was cool. It didn't take long for our food to be cooked. My fish was hot off the grill, had a wonderful crispy finish, and was cooked to my specification. The salmon was delicious, as were the mashed potatoes it was served on. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and delicious as well. I was craving more. Everyone enjoyed their meals and with great service, we agreed that this could be a place we visit when we're in the area. Great stuff!

The server was new but he did a great job and kept checking on us making sure our drinks were full. They had a large screen with basketball ball game on and good vibe.

Sunday breakfast they have a breakfast buffet with eggs, pancakes, meats and such. It's not expensive like $14.99 or so. I can't remember but not bad. They also have a salad bar. Which looked super good. Lots of fresh veggies and ingredients. They have specials on a board and per day and a large menu choices. I got the breakfast skillet. It was big and good. No complaints. I couldn't finish and had to take it home. Everyone got something different and all enjoyed their meals. The owner and servers were nice and efficient. Decor is kinda old family restaurant vibe. Not bad. Just older. Food is good, variety is high, prices are reasonable. The lady at the check out told me about the cheesecakes and desserts are made by a bakery and they ship them in. Looked delicious. If you're looking for a home cooked type meal. Then this is it.

We decided to do the breakfast buffet.

The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable of the food. Ginataang tahong (mussels simmered in coconut milk), chicken inasal, tocilog and vegetable lumpia.

This is my first time having mussels cooked in coconut milk and it was fabulous. Loved it, absolutely one of the best mussels I've ever had.

She said she wanted to be by the water, somewhere "healing", so we discovered Tinkers Creek Tavern together, and the scenery was more than we anticipated. We opted for the patio, of course. While it was hot outside, we didn't notice the heat. The shade from the trees and the creek nearby must have cooled things down. Bugs were not an issue either. The staff was super friendly. We explained we were newbies ans asked for recommendations. We learned their brisket is something they're known for, but I leaned more towards seafood. I had the shrimp and grits for my meal, after the pretzel as an appetizer. The food was so good and our experience was so great I told my mom about it, who happened to go back with my brother while I was at work one Saturday (bummer ). I've also called in take out, and returned several times with another friend and my middle son. We had the fried green tomatoes, fried mozzarella, corn pudding, and brisket sandwich (I opt out the cheese). The food hits every time.

Friends and family always circle back with a "thank you" after visiting, especially when they're in the Valley View or Independence area. When I worked nearby for a couple of years, my coworkers and I made a habit of grabbing lunch on the patio. It overlooks the calm stretch of Tinkers Creek, which adds a quiet, almost tucked-away feel to the experience. One afternoon, we even watched a crane wade through the water, bathing and fishing like it owned the place. Not a bad backdrop for a lunch break. Consistently great food, reliable service, and a setting that does a little extra without trying too hard.
