I honestly loved this place. Definitely my vibe. I got the mine burger and a beer and it hit the spot. Friendly staff and a good time. 🍺
Sat at the bar and got immediate service. Ordered the Mine Burger! Phenomenal! Absolute must if you are in the area!
Great food and service and a great place to get lunch. The Mine Burger is the bomb!
Great service and incredibly fast food! Our meals were already coming out to the table before we even finished ordering. Lori was our waitress, and she was very pleasant and attentive, which made the experience even better. The wings were especially good—nice and delicious. Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed this place. Would definitely come back when we are in town again. This is a local gem ! Thanks again Lori !
It was nice and clean. The bartender was very nice and helpful with ordering. The food was wonderfuland good. I was there before the wall issue happened the next day. Hope everyone that works there is okay. Hope the issue gets fixed. I would like to be back.
Here for an event at the college. Delicious burger and fries! Price is excellent, fresh hand cut fries and malt vinegar. Yummy burger, food came out super fast. 10/10 will return to this neat little tavern.
Amazing food & staff! Family friendly atmosphere with special events and late night fun. The owners have done a tremendous job bringing the Mine Tavern back to life and are making necessary repairs to a very old/ historic building! Very excited for them to open back up and see the results!
This is a very comfortable tavern. We came for lunch during an Ohio State game. The place was almost packed, so we were able to get seats quickly. Sports decor dominate the walls, and there are quite a few TVs to watch the game. We were quickly served. I had the single Miner burger, and my wife tried the Miner melt. My burger was topped with salami and grilled onions. Burger was a bit overcooked but tasty. My wife enjoyed her melt. Option of either fries or chips. They have maybe a half dozen beers on tap, some of them craft. Service was good. We didn't have to wait long for anything.
Food was great and the atmosphere is unique! Small town charm for sure with the locals coming in. Ps the basket of fries feeds at least 5-6 people..
The food here was really good. I had the Mine Burger. It was a lot to eat with two beef patties, salami, spicy mayo, American & Pepperjack cheese, and grilled onions. But then it was covered in Colby cheese! Pure delight. Our server was fantastic. He took great care of us and told us about the history of the Tavern, which was why we had originally been drawn to it. It opened in 1842 and served the coal miners in the area. It's still going strong, which is a testimony itself. For me, the atmosphere was a 5 because the original tin walls and ceiling were still in place. It's small inside so might get crowded at times. We went for lunch during the week so had no problem. This is a place I will definitely go back to with friends.
