Tavern Bar and Grill

It looks shady as shit, but every town has at least one good dive bar. I’ve heard the burgers are good here, but I wouldn’t know because I’m vegetarian. The grilled cheese however, is on point. The beer here is cheap which is good, just don’t go expecting a lot of fancy craft beer, no sirree. The staff (Haley especially) is also great. A good small town bar.

Once in a while you just want a good burger and a beer. It’s one of those places you don’t ask for anything special, and definitely not a beer menu. The staff seems old school, and won’t kiss your behind. It truly is a «jem» in a world where even small towns are getting snooty and pretentious. I go there when I feel homesick for my hometown, and want to see hard working, red blooded Americans enjoy a couple beers and a burger cooked on the other side of the bar!

I have been here 3 times. The food is always nice and the service has been bad once. When the older women are bar tending the place is stellar. Beer selection is ok but not wide. They have a hell of a Saturday special on mason jar drafts. The fried mushrooms are nice as well as the cheese balls. My burger was delicious and my buddy had a tasty tenderloin. We stayed on the one bad night until shifts changed and the next bartender really redeemed the service quality for us. I wish they had 3.5 stars. As far as bar food goes this is above average. Service is obviously going to depend on who is working. I would absolutely recommend giving the place a try. It could easily go 4 stars if I have another couple of good meals and times there.

I LOVE this bar. Great owners, service is wonderful, best cheeseburger in Johnson County!

This was the worst service I’ve ever had. The waitress clearly was not thrilled to be at work and it showed. No greeting and clearly no customer service training.
I should not have been surprised. It was a Friday night at 8pm and only three people were in this place…

I absolutely love The Grill Bar, it’s a REAL LOCAL tavern with a lot of nostalgia and absolutely no pretentiousness whatsoever! The beer is always cold, the pricing are always exceptional and they have the best cheeseburgers [BAR-​NONE] that you’ll ever eat in your life!!! Not to mention that the owners, a great husband and wife team are some of the nicest most giving people in the community!

The best hamburgers in Indiana! The grill is decades old and it gives the burgers a wonderful flavor. I think they use a really high quality beef because the texture is good too. It’s a bar first and no one under 21 allowed but they do carry out as well. It’s a dive but of the best kind! Great food and a beer besides. Try it you won’t be sorry!
