Uncle Lyles Tavern & Grille

Refurnised bar … 2 levels… A couple tvs for sports fan… Music is bumping. lots of late 20s something to 30s… Upstairs band jamming. Angry Orchard On Tap. Yum!

Dive bar in the process of being brought into the 21^st Century. Kudos for that. Friendly staff and the highlight is their handmade house named burgers. Nearly perfect. Mostly sandwiches and funny named drinks and beer with lots of folks drinking Lite. Negatives: ultimate bar criminal sin – ordered a Grey Goose and saw the bartender pull the bar liquor switch, for which prison time is a reasonable penalty. Sin two: had to look up how to make a Manhattan. Our bill was screwed up twice, too few staff to handle the customer surge and a general level of disorganization made me subtract a star. Hope they get their act together and if they do, they’ll be a success. The burgers are worth a second visit so we’ll see. But for a Saturday night a disappointing first impression.

After a few months of begging my husband to take me here to see the «new» place, he finally agreed. Can’t tell you what the food was like because we never got waited on. We walked in and sat at the bar, waited, and then waited some more… no one greeted us and when the bartender came out from the kitchen area he took care of two customers right next to us and walked right past us. There we sat… no drinks, no menus not even a hello… Very disappointing…
3 stars for the renovations…0 stars for service…

It is nice to see restaurants ditching the pre-​made junk and getting back to distinguishing themselves with uniquely flavored and prepared food.
We went for burgers and fries and we’re very happy we did. No frozen burger patties here! The burger was very flavorful and huge. I mean hard to get your mouth around it huge.
We talked with the owner and when he told us they tested five buns before they found one that they liked it knew this was a place that prides itself on the food they serve.
Homemade soups, tacos, burgers, and BBQ pork (with a real smoker outback!)
I am looking forward to trying the rest of the menu!
