Last night was out first visit. We sat at the bar since the restaurant was pretty full. The atmosphere is comfortable. They have lots of televisions so all the games were on. The service was great and the staff was very friendly! The food was awesome. We shared the Pretzel and Beer Cheese Appetizer. I had the Mahi Fish Tacos, and my wife had the Cajun Swai. I didn't try hers, was too busy eating my tacos... but she said it was excellent. Someone previously complained about the portion size. They must be insane! I'm a big guy and it was more than enough. I thought the pricing was on par with other places in the area. It's great to have a place like this in Tatum Ranch. For us it's close enough to walk to so we will definitely be back.
Had lunch with our daughter there today. I had the porccini mushroom pasta dish. Best thing I've eaten in a long time and definitely the best mushroom dish I've ever eaten. Love the decor, very stylish.
We did not have food but it looked and smelled great. Very nice inside and the drinks were great. We do plan on coming back to try the food
They have plenty of cocktails pretty pricey but apparently on point. They have plenty of Ace brand ales that are gluten-free and they include watermelon, mango, pear, and pineapple. They have plenty of ipas on tap if you are into the IPA'S and they also have Oktoberfest beer on tap as of right now and it wasn't too shabby. If you're looking for a place off the map that isn't your normal this is the cute little quaint spot on the corner of this Plaza in the middle of nowhere that is worth the stop in. You won't be sorry they have plenty of choices I did not eat the food here but I had plenty of choices for beverages. They did not disappoint.
Nice laid back spot to have locally. No views or patio but good for a stop with friends. Waitresses were very nice and got kid food ordered and out quick to keep them happy but then took adult orders a few minutes later and came out as kids were finished. Intent was nice but then backfired.. but chive tv kept everyone entertained. Drinks were really good and made with their own spirits... lemon drop, strawberry rye and blackberry bourbon.. very good
I have been coming to Black Mountain Tavern for years. It has always been the place in the neighborhood I could go no matter what time of day and be welcomed, enjoy good drinks and food, and great company. But I’m even more excited with some of the recent changes. What Nichole and the team have done to elevate the atmosphere and food is unreal. I have already tried the arugula and beet salad and the veggie quinoa bowl and they are both off the charts amazing. But more than anything, this place cares about their customers. I noticed every bit of the attention to detail in the grand reopening and I ALWAYS feel well taken care of as a customer. I recommend you give this place a try if you haven’t already. And if you haven’t in a while, go back!
We came to this place from a web search for a distillery/Bistro. The distillery was no longer associated with the restaurant, so disappointing as far as that went. We had great drinks and ok food. Apps were great the fish not so good. Would recommend for sure. We shared everything.
Hidden gem. Driven past this multiple times but never stopped in until last night. Plenty of TVs for my son and I to watch multiple football games, and the food was excellent. The Ruben is fabulous..smoky pastrami was great on its own! Loved all the Whistle Pig options as well!
No idea what the negative reviews were about, I was glad to have found a nice tavern in southwest Cave Creek which also has good hand crafted bourbon and vodka.
The tavern style appetizers were excellent, sliders and soft pretzel with beer cheese, and the hot Buffalo wings were a solid heat with a smoky flavor, and done crispy, not slimy. The ranch was also good, not from a grocery store shopping cart.
The bartender was very friendly and fun to talk to, and was very helpful in deciding what to order, taste testing a few items, etc. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area and will be happy to send friends and family their way, they also sell their spirits which I'm a new fan of.
Cute distillery. Black Mountain Tavern & Distillery has been in business for 6 years. Great bourbon flavors. We enjoyed fried pickles and sliders.
Visited on 082318 ... the Mrs. had some kind of green leaf thing with chicken on it (what's it called?) Oh, it's that "salad" thing some people go for. She said it was okay. I had the Beer Cheese Burger. Apparently they concoct the beer cheese on site with Kiltlifter. It ... was ... killer. Top five burger in my experience. Especially when paired with, well, Kiltlifter. Of course. I will definitely be back for that one. The burger, I mean. Okay, probably need it's partner also. Moving on... General impression ... the place was clean, had a lot of TVs and our server Lisa was friendly and helpful on our first visit. She said the Mahi tacos are great too, perhaps I'll try that next time ... if I can fathom passing up another shot at, you know, the burger ...
Update 081719 ... tried the beer battered Mahi tacos, they were okay. Why didn't I have the burger? Next time. Server Cortney was very friendly and attentive. Still a great place.
Awesome vibes, the remodel really gives this place a warm and inviting appeal. The polyaspartic flooring they just got done from Guardian Garage Floors goes extremely well with the wood panel walls and trim. Really brings the color scheme together.
Owners are super nice and I hope the best for their continued success with the tavern.
