Elaine is in town and she was game for an adventure that included a fish dinner. We GPSed it to TK Tavern on the Hill in Camillus, New York. It’s not far from the Macedonian church on Onondaga Hill!
This is a true tavern with a mahogany bar, a pool table and tonight, a live band playing in the dining area.
Presentation: How cute is this presentation? Black plate and this darling little french fry container. We both ordered the broiled cod
Taste: I ate the coleslaw first – perfection! All cabbage, no extra stuff. The fish was delish and the fries were very salty and crispy, but good.
Restaurant Experience: The place was “hopping” on this Friday night. People at the bar or playing pool while listening to a three person band called Escape. It was pretty loud so dinner conversation was at a minimum. Everyone was friendly.
You order at the bar, pay and they give you one of those buzzer thingys to pick up the order when it is ready – so no waitstaff. The table was bussed from the previous diners about halfway through our meal. But I think that was the fun of this place. Good food, fun people and a lot of happy.
Location: TK Tavern on the Hill is located at 3855 Split Rock Road, Camillus, New York. Call (315) 320-4070 for more information including hours of operation. I believe they only do the fish fry on Fridays.
Parking: There’s plenty of parking in the lot that surrounds the building. It isn’t well paved so on this rainy night it was a bit muddy. This is a casual place – save your stilettos for a different restaurant.
