When most of us think of a small-town restaurant, we likely imagine a cozy mom-and-pop shop where locals flock for an old-fashioned, home-cooked meal and to catch up on the goings-on in town.

Next time you’re craving a taste of small-town life – the slower pace and the friendliness of yesteryear – make your way to Talbot’s Taproom & Tavern.

While you can dine in the cozy dining area, reserve a table on the outdoor terrace at least once. The ambiance at this small-town restaurant will certainly draw you in, but...
The food will keep you coming back again and again. Bring a mighty appetite with you because you'll want to start with an appetizer. Pepperoni balls, crab cakes, and pot stickers are among your choices.
A sandwich, paired with fries and cole slaw, is always a winner. The difficult part is deciding which - a burger, a Reuben, or a giant fish sandwich - to order.
