Delicious food in a clean restaurant with pleasant staff. 😋 Will definitely return often. Any place that has bacon 🥓 as an appetizer is my kind of place. The sweet and spicy bacon was delectable. Just don't expect to eat there on Tuesdays.

We just had the most amazing burgers here. Mine was medium well and my husband was medium rare. Both came exactly right. The quality of the food here is always wonderful, the service is quick, the staff is friendly. Off Duty Tavern has become one of our favorite go to spots. We highly recommend this place!

First time at Off-Duty Tavern. It has a cozy feel but spacious. The food is amazing. The Guinness Fondue was fire! The chilli had just the right bite and the candied bacon yummy. You can immediately tell that the staff and owners know what they’re doing. The service was perfect!

Hidden gem. Food is reasonably priced and service is good.

This is a nice quiet place. Parking can sometimes be a challenge, AND they only have ONE restroom, which can be a problem for a Beer drinker. But the food is good and the beer is cold. I do recommend this little place.

Tony Thompson via google.com - Jul 16, 2021

Stopped in on a rainy Sunday evening for a sandwich. Had one of the best Reubens ever, nice and juicy, grilled to perfection. My son had the lamb sliders and the chef was nice enough to make him some “special” aioli for his fries, which are hand cut and perfect! Service was excellent, too! Can’t wait to try the brunch next!
