Mad Tacos
Taco restaurant
👍👍 First time there was Sunday before adventuring parks and waterfalls nearby. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The inside is fun. The food was delicious and I can NOT wait to go back. I love how they use Impossible Meat, so I have a lot more options here than other places.
Update: We now make a p...

The Shoppes at Johnny Appleseed
Craft store
👍👍 Outstanding multiple stall shop. Going here with my family was a true experience! There was so much to do so many things to look at We spent a few hours walking around looking at the different items discussing what we liked what we didn't like. After that we found our way to the Apple kitchen which...

Twin Bluff Bar
Bar
😐 An excellent dive! If you are looking for a dive bar and are in the area, this is a strong option. The staff is surprisingly friendly for a place like this and the drinks are priced as you would expect. I like to swing into this little gem whenever I'm in the area.

Nelson Hotel Bar & Grill
Restaurant
🫤 Pretty much a dive bar. Was better but that was 15 to 20 years ago. Liquor choices are limited to sweet and semi sweet options that appeal to the younger crowd. Their best whiskey was Jack Daniels, which is fine. One or two higher end options would be nice. I didn't eat here. Quite sure I never will...

AJ'S Archery
Archery store
👍👍 A long overdue review...but I can’t recommend AJ’s and The Gun Shop in particular, enough! I moved back to NY and needed help with the licensing and purchasing process for handguns. I had a very specific model in mind, and all other stores I contacted gave me the cold shoulder. Not AJ’s. Adam in par...
