While antiques and food have nothing in common, you’d be surprised what a great pair they make. Shopping for diamonds in the rough all day tends to work up a major appetite, so having a restaurant in the very same building is much appreciated. A Tiskit – A Taskit is a retro soda fountain that serves up hearty meals and homemade ice cream with a side of antiques.
Nestled in Hillsboro's historic courthouse sqaure, A Tiskit - A Taskit serves up hearty, down-home cooking with a side of antiques. Now, you can shop for vintage treasures and enjoy a delicious meal all in one place.
While the restaurant is the main attraction, a vast selection of antiques is scattered around. Spend some time perusing the trinkets from yesteryear - there are plenty of diamonds in the rough just waiting to be discovered.
You'll be pleasantly overwhelmed by the extensive list of ice cream flavors. Each one is homemade with love being the main ingredient, as evidenced by the creaminess and decadence.
Now this is what a diner meal should look like. Juicy double cheeseburger, chips, banana split, and the best root beer you've ever had from Dublin Bottling Works. Bring a big appetite!
Just look at all that mushroom Swiss goodness! This is one of the bestselling menu items, with other favorites including a gourmet grilled cheese, stuffed tomato, and maple bourbon butter burger.
Blue Plate Specials include Southern comforts like chicken pot pie and loaded baked potatoes. Pair your meal with a trip to the all-you-can-eat salad bar with plenty of fresh veggies.
Decked out in '50s attire, the waitstaff take customers on a trip down memory lane. Who remembers Friday nights at the local diner after a sockhop in your school's gym?
