Mingo Creek Tavern

"8/13/24. Arrived at about 5:15 PM. The specials sign outside of the front door said there was "Bingo" at 6. When we walked in the place was only about half full and numerous tables were marked as "reserved" We found a seat at an open table right by the front door and right next to the bar and had seat. Sat for over 15 minutes and were ignored by numerous servers including one who was working on the "Please seat yourself" sign right inside the door and right next to us. I have been here a couple of times now and enjoyed the food though the atmosphere was a bit weak. However, what I cannot and will not tolerate is being ignored and not even asked for a drink order 15 minutes in. I am a local but doubt I will return."

"I recently had the misfortune of dining at Mingo Creek Tavern, and despite the decent food, the overall experience was absolutely dreadful due to the horrendous service. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an enjoyable dining experience. Here's a detailed account of my visit: Service: Throughout the meal, the waiter was inattentive, disappearing for long stretches of time and leaving us to fend for ourselves. We had to flag down other staff members multiple times just to get basic necessities like water refills and napkins. Ordering and Food: When we finally managed to place our order, the waiter seemed disinterested and impatient, barely making eye contact and scribbling down our requests without any acknowledgment. It took an unreasonable 45 minutes for our appetizers to arrive, and when they did, the waiter merely dropped them on the table without checking if we needed anything else. The entrees took even longer, and by the time they arrived, we were already frustrated and hungry. Food Quality: Despite the atrocious service, I must admit that the food was quite good. The flavors were well-balanced, and the dishes were prepared with evident skill. However, the good food was not enough to salvage the overall experience. The enjoyment of a meal is not solely dependent on taste but also on the ambiance and service, both of which were severely lacking."

"This place has been newly renovated. Whoever did it knows what they are doing. The bar top is really interesting with memorabilia sealed in clear epoxy. There are plenty of tables. The food was A- so not perfect but good. I would definitely go back."

"We have eaten there 7 times since they reopened. The food is fantastic, service is excellent, friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Concerns are that entering and leaving is very dangerous and needs signs warning hidden exit and entry !!! In Addition, the clientele should be aware that it is a place of respect for all those present. Music it sometimes too loud for sharing a conversation with others. Great asset to the community!!!!"
