Man-Lunch: Rivershack Tavern

By in Black & White, Man Lunch

With the catch phrase, “Home of the Tacky Ashtray,” how could we pass this up?

The food wasn’t bad.  I had a burger with extra carbon.  But what really gave it 4 stars was the combination of the Road House feel and bar stools with people legs.  I always enjoys the residents patrons who shake the hand of the bar tender as they leave (as if to say, I’ll be in 30, keep my chair).

What was it missing?  Other than a blind guy in a cage playing Angel Eyes,

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives’ Guy Fieri rated the Turtle Soup as the best thing on the menu.  Waitress: “Uh, the chef just kind of makes what he wants when he feels like it.”  So, Guy might have been right, but we’ll never know.

    How was the food. Looks like a cool place.
    Maybe you could rate the restaurant 1 – 10 with a positive and a negative about the restaurant.
