    Talbot's Taproom & Terrace is a local restaurant and bar that has terrific foods, drinks, and…read moreservice...and an atmosphere with colorful artwork and a Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti family! Currently, this restaurant takes reservations only over the telephone, not online. My husband and I ate one lunch here. The seating hostess and waitress served us promptly and politely. The menu listed foods such as wings, crab cakes, salads, sandwiches, bowls, pierogies, tacos, chicken marsala, and salmon and drinks such as wines, cocktails, mocktails, sakes, and beers. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Duck Wontons - 4.5 stars - Wontons contained bacon, duck, onions, garlic, Swiss cheese, and French onion broth. Very flavorful. Deviled Eggs - 4.5 stars - The deviled eggs were filled with avocado, bacon, and tomato slaw. Shoot the Breeze - 4.5 stars - This entree consisted of a 14-ounce ribeye with chimichurri, pickled red onions, potato gnocchi, and garlic alfredo. The ribeye was juicy. The gnocchi were nicely cooked. Chicken and Ribs - 4.5 stars - My husband ate this special of chicken breast, St. Louis ribs, potatoes, and corn on the cob. He said that the grilling gave a better taste and that he enjoyed the Korean BBQ sauce. You're Doing Great - 4.5 stars - This mocktail contained non-alcholic orange aperitivo, lemonade, cherry, cucumber, and soda. The total price for these five menu items plus a soda and tax was $110, plus a tip. After our meal, my husband and I explored the outside. The waitress said that the Yeti father is named Osirus, the mother is Sasha, and they have two children. We also saw a treehouse, teepee, picnic tables, games, and woods.

    ABSOLUTE PERFECTION FROM START TO FINISH 10/10!…read more Perfection. Everything about Talbots is absolute perfection. I eat A LOT of food, and one common denominator I see among top-tier restaurants is that the owners and management are a direct reflection of the overall experience, quality, and taste. Talbots is no different. We felt right at home from the moment we walked in. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, like lifetime friends. Our waitress, Teresa, was fantastic. She passed all the vibe checks and matched our energy immediately, all the signs of a veteran server you want guiding you through one of the best eating experiences of your life. She gave us her recommendations and left us to decide. We knew we were here for the #hashtagyouwont 36oz ribeyes, but we wanted to see what else was recommended since everything looked and sounded amazing. We decided to order a lot of food, almost everything that was recommended. This will be a bit of a long-winded review, but I'm sure the true foodies will appreciate it, so here we go: THE APPETIZERS The Brie: How can brie be so good that it deserves to be talked about first? I have no idea, but it was excellent. The strawberry-jalapeño jam, brie, candied pecans, baby naan, and fruit just worked so well together. An absolute hit. Pork Cheek Tacos: These melted in your mouth and exploded with flavor. They were also a really decent size, we were expecting little bite-sized tacos on a dumpling wrapper, but got two substantial tacos instead which was a pleasant surprise. Naan Bombs: Flat out delicious, and there were enough in the serving for everyone to have a few. Duck Wontons: So unique and flavorful. These were like little empanada explosions of flavor. THE MAIN EVENT: THE 36OZ RIBEYE When I tell you this was a perfect steak, this was a perfect steak. Cooked medium rare, oozing with flavor, and charred to absolute perfection on the outside. That is no easy feat with a cut this size, but somehow Talbot and crew made it seem like a walk in the park. Hidden under the steak, soaking up all the juices, are the house cut fries. I forgot they were even there because of the sheer size of the meat! By the time I discovered them, they were soaked with steak juice, but somehow remained crispy and soggy at the same time. It was brilliant, the fries almost had a poutine like aspect to them. Magnificent, completely unique, and made so much sense. As for the side of corn salad.... absolutely mind blowing. It just looked like corn with some sauce on it, nothing special at all. I am so sorry I underestimated you, Mr. Corn Salad. My God, this stuff was amazing. It didn't make sense to me, but I didn't care, I just kept shoveling it into my mouth. DESSERT We saved room for dessert (of course) and got three: The Chocolate Cake: A plate of pure, chocolaty goodness. Pecan Sweet Potato Pie: Spectacular. Coconut Cream Cheesecake: Wow. I am a sucker for coconut and cream cheese anything, and this checked every single box. THE VERDICT Throughout the night, we watched Talbot go up to each table to check in on everyone, and the chef even came out to talk to us. It was an absolute perfect meal top to bottom, start to finish. You can tell how much this entire establishment cares about what they do, and it is a direct reflection on the food. It's not often I can say a meal is flawless, so I have to give them their flowers in a long well deserved review. Five stars, two thumbs up, and a standing ovation for Talbots Taproom. P.s. Extra kudos for all the cool art and overall atmosphere. There is a ton of stuff to do outside as well but we were there on a chilly night so remained inside. We saw a patio, disc golf, and all sorts of other activities, even a tree house. We can't wait to make the hour trip again and enjoy all they have to offer once summer is in full swing!

Even though we live directly across from the Log Cabin Inn (a sister restaurant) and have to pass Rachels Roadhouse(also a sister restaurant), we much prefer the food, service, staff members, menu and atmosphere of the Iron Bridge. I was absolutely DEVASTATED on our visit with our close friends on 7/10/26 and was informed that their Shrimp and Grits have been removed from the menu. Our server Lesley was absolutely fantastic. She immediately went back to the kitchen and asked if they could still make this for me and the Kitchen staff had some remaining grits to make an order for me. I relocated 8 years ago from South Carolina and I seek out the best Shrimp and Grits whenever I can. I have to say that in my opinion the Iron Bridge Shrimp and Grits are one of the top 2 or 3 I have ever eaten! I want to also commend both our server Lesley as well as the kitchen staff for going above and beyond in making a customer visit special but also for all their work to prepare and serve our whole party with their meals as well. Everyone in our party was extremely satisfied with their meals and their service which are the reasons that we drive a half hour up to eat here. Thank you!

Food was very delicious and came out warm. The burgers were outstanding done right! Cob salad was huge with a lot of toppings. Would definitely put on my list again for return. Looks like they're known for their prime rib and their French onion soup. Price is reasonable on the lunch menu.

Very welcoming, cozy vibe. Menu was eclectic. Lots of great choices for appies and entrees. MaL,nR,IT had a chicken cheesesteak sandwich w a cup of French onion soup. He raved about it. Chunks of chicken, banana peppers, fried onions, and cheese on a sub roll. Naturally, he had to use a knife and fork. I had THE MOST AMAZING cheeseburger I've ever had... better than the old Mannions in Yonkers NY or Squires. 8 ounces of a blend of chuck, brisket, and "I forgot" on a grilled roll, with Swiss and fried onions. If you know me, I usually put ketchup on my ketchup. Not this time. My cb was naked, no ketchup needed. I savored EVERY DELECTABLE BITE!!!

Burger was bland and cooked closer to rare than to medium. Bun was hard. French fries were those that the school sells. Philly steak was your typical chipped steak you get anywhere else. My daughter enjoyed her Kraft Mac and cheese kids meal. The kids grilled cheese was good as it was on sourdough bread toasted to perfection. The place doesn't really give you restaurant vibes but they were nice enough to put the Daytona 500 on for my husband.

Marcy was incredible and honestly, she made the trip worth it. Her recommendations were spot on. We weren't going to order dessert but bc of her, we did and she was right! The food is priced at pretty common prices and you get a full plate. All well made and at the perfect temp. The bus boy was ON IT. He was so very polite and asked before taking things. Nothing unused sat for longer than a few minutes. I almost didn't go but I am very glad I did. I will return and I will be telling friends, family & followers to try this place. The castle aesthetic carries over to the inside. It was definitely a choice lol but it is rather lovely. Not your usual dining experience. Try this place. Edit to add: a group of five of us stopped in for the brunch buffet on Sunday. We made a reservation as the website states any party of five or more should make one. I was apprehensive due to past experiences of brunch buffets. Usually all the food tastes very similar and lacks seasoning. Not the case here. They had such a wide array of options. We had an extremely picky eater and they left full. The vibe was casual with just a touch of sophistication. Really happy we tried the buffet and will absolutely come again.
