Tipple Tavern 100 Adventure Lane, Matewan, WV 25678

"Where do I start. We showed up for our 7:30 reservation 10 minutes early and was told that our table was just getting their salads and we would have to wait. They did put us at a table about 10 minutes after our reservation time. After being seated, it took awhile to get our drink order in. When they finally showed up she took our food orders. We never had anyone come by the table for about 30 minutes. They then showed up with the salads that were not that good, and that is saying something when lettuce is bad. When they finally showed up with the food, they were very small portions and everything was cold. Seeing as food is to be held as 140 degrees our was about room temp. They offered to heat it up, but that wasn't the issue, it should never have been served that way. We where told that they were busy. When asked why there wasn't any gravy on the potatos, we were brought broth and told that the Chef has a different way of making things. Have you every used broth on mash potatos and advertised it as mashed potatos and gravy?? The dinner was $45 person plus drinks and 20% gratiuity. If the dinner had been as advertised, I would have been happy paying that price, but when the service was so bad that our meal took 2 hours to complete and the food was way below par, that is a different story. When the manager was told this, we were treated like we should be happy they offered to reheat our meal. The Meal we were served was not near the amount others were served and we received our roll refridgerator cold rolls without butter right before our dessert."

"Was pleasantly surprised at the fast service even when jam-packed with people. The food was fantastic, and specialty drinks were delicious!"

"Laid back, welcoming. Love the cabin feel of the place. The pool seemed clean enough, false grass patio. Bathrooms were clean. Love the cabin rentals, we stayed in 37, best view of the mountain. Can't wait to go back"

"We stayed at Devil's Backbone Campground and ate at Tipple Tavern on our first night. It was ok. We weren't impressed but weren't necessarily disappointed. A few nights later we went back and had excellent service, food, and drinks! Morgan was our server/bartender on Saturday night and made me a pomegranate margarita that was absolutely amazing!! I recommend if your in the area to stop! You can access the restaurant, which has a pool on site, right from trail 59 of Devil's Anse!"

"Good food, friendly service, love that the bar/restaurant is right at the pool, perfect to go for a little swim then grab something to eat! Cobb salad was huge , had grilled chicken with fresh veggies and greens. Devil Anse Angus burger my fiancé had said it was juicy and really tasty!"
