Tales from the Tavern
★★★★★
"We got two of their specialty hot dogs and loved them so much! Unfortunately I don’t remember the names. Very filling and well-cooked! The employees there were really nice and helped us figure out what to get for our first visit there. It was a great spot to eat outdoors as the weather was perfect! Would love to come back and try more of their food!"

"What an understated gem! Some of the best service I've had in a while. Staff was super friendly and accommodating, and our food was out in minutes. Great comfort food in just the right size portions, and the pulled pork was much higher quality than you'll get most anywhere else. Everything is very fairly priced. The vibes are great. I wish we'd had time to try more of the menu!"

"We've now visited a few times and have yet to be disappointed. All the parts were awesome — the dog, the toppings, and the bun. My daughter loved her plain dog as well. They also have excellent vegan options! This is exactly what Bellingham was missing. Highly recommended!"
— Emily G.
