The service was stellar, the cheese selection is great, the wine/cocktail options are decent, but I think the food is largely 3/5 stars. The pickle plate is lackluster and they sell a bland salsa under the name of “a tomato and onion gazpacho”. That said, the brie, fig, and speck crostini was good. I think we just ordered the wrong things - play it safe and come for the cheese/wine.

Very happy with this sister restaurant to Tonic. This is the original, I am told, and you can see “creative” is a theme. I had pimento cheese and a simple salad. Also had a Montenegro Amaro…. Another key sign for me that a restaurant is MY kind.

Quaint, Cozy, friendly atmosphere, helpful staff. Charcuterie board was appropriately priced, and wine was delectable. Good place for a quick date or to grab a quick bite on the evening stroll of downtown.

Staff at Tilmans are knowledgeable and friendly. The food is excellent with fancy sandwiches but equipped with classics too like macaroni and cheese - but upscale. I got a delicious sandwich of the day with ham, a fancy salami, provolone, L&T, and a spicy aioli. PLUS the spring Asparagus soup was so good I ordered a bowl to go for dinner later! P.S. they also have a bar. Wine, beer, cocktails. And its a place to stock your picnic basket with provisions and cheeses and bread.

I really wanted to give this place a better rating. Great looking good. Great selection of wine and cocktails.
I ordered a $15 glass of Pinot noir and it was served to me in a plastic cup.

Really nice little spot on the downtown mall. They do a happy hour from 3-6pm where there are several wines by the glass for about $6. I tried some of the cheeses, and they were great.
They have numerous meats, cheeses, and food for sale there, along with a selection of wine from various parts of the world.
The bar has about 8-10 seats, and there are also a few small tables. If you want to do a sandwich there for lunch you can sit at the window and watch people walk by.
Only downside is on occasion you'll get a short pour (this didn't happen to me, but a friend had that happen).

My fiance and I love getting sandwiches to go from Tilman’s to bring to Shenandoah on our hikes. Sometimes we like to eat at Tilman’s and sit outside on the patio in the downtown mall. Overall the workers are super friendly and the food is really good and fresh! We always find ourselves coming back!

Easy peasy for take out. Walk in, place your order, go check out another awesome store near by and 10 minutes later, pick up your delicious food. The staff is also friendly and attentive.
