TBK Tavern is just hot GFS.
Didn't super wanna make this post- was gonna give them a chance to go through growing pains, but it's just too egregious at this point.
TBK Tavern, formerly the Brew Kettle Mentor, is flat-out fleecing the Mentor populace. When the restaurant opened, the menu advertised local food- Cleveland Kimchi, Euclid Fish, Shagbark Seed & Mill grits and tortilla chips, etc. 90% of the kitchen was scratch. Now, less than three months into its opening, the menu still advertised local ingredients and still portrays themselves as a real kitchen, while nearly everything served just comes from GFS, is heated up, and served. Run-of-the-mill grits, shittier quality chips, the beef for the burgers has gone from wagyu to bullshit bargain-bin beef.
The chef has proven over the few months that he simply no longer cares about the food or the quality of his work. Constantly leaving items out of recipes without disclosing to customers that we're simply out of the items. I came onboard to cook. Not to reheat pre-made garbage. I can no longer take it. They charge entirely too much for what you receive.
Make your own choices- but this one isn't a good one, imo.
