We had delicious hamburgers and fries and the trivia night was a blast. I will come again.

Good spot for Pool, darts, trivia and smoking. If you like smoking, you can smoke here. I don't smoke, but you might as well if you are in the bar area. It is smokey, from the smoking. Bring a back up shirt and throw the other one in the trunk to use when you are polishing your tires, because that shirt is done, covered with smoke from the smokers. If you have enough beer you don't mind the smoke, they have a great selection of draft and several IPA, just go ahead and have a few tall Two Hearteds and stop bitching abut the smoke and lose to your buddy daryl in pool, bum a smoke and figure out if the girl at the bar is drunk, crazy or just likes bad makeup. Food looks mid.

When one door closes, another door opens... or so the expression goes. Our regular "Taco Tuesday" place has been On the Border-North Point. For better or worse, (We adored Tim and the team, the prices were good and food fair)... but when we drove up and saw the dining room dark and the sign on the door, we knew we had to find a new Taco Tuesday place. I mean, what's Taco Tuesday at "Wendy's", right? So, my son and I went into our mental Rolodex with the criteria that we needed to stay within a 10ish minute drive of On the Border so we could help all our displaced friends find a new go-to. We'd recently ordered through our Uber Eats this 'new to us' place called "North River Tavern" knowing well and good that bar food is either going to be frozen pizza in a toaster oven or the best damn food ever... and honestly, when it's a mom and pop, the consistency could land each visit anywhere between. But we'd ordered DELIVERY as our first experience. And it was a total freakin hit! My son... shocker... chicken tenders and fries... the same food, different place... Me, I ordered loaded tots... The food arrived that first day, quickly (thanks Uber Eats) fairly quickly, but condensation/styrofoam packaging, a little concerning... eh, 'soggy' We nibbled... with limited expectations. Within about 15 minutes, both our 'plates' were empty! (Sorry, no pics, but it was damn good! Or were we just that hungry??) ---- The next day, we were back at Uber Eats, looking for another new place to order... NEW place, being the key word.... We'd found a taco-ish sounding place... I like Mexican ... like a lot.. haha...and since my adult son eats chicken strips, EVERYWHERE, I have most of the decision making power. :) We decided this new place... but as I was about to hit "SEND".... I remembered the freakin awesome cheese sauce on the loaded tots from 'yesterday' at North Town Tavern.... 'Esc' 'Esc' 'Esc' Thirty ish minutes later, we are eating North River Tavern --- DELIVERY AGAIN.... (Do they put 'something' in that cheese sauce... OMG SO GOOD!!!) ----- Fast forward back to tonight.... Taco Tuesday... I'm so sad for the people we have grown to care much about who work at On the Border who suddenly have no jobs... I hate that the economy impacts any of us in negative ways... so many of us are one freakin paycheck away from being homeless, and we can all learn to be kind to every single person we cross paths with each day. We don't know their story or their journey... That said... my son and I needed dinner... and ... tacos... and margaritas. He suggests, "What about that North River Tavern Place we had delivered? Or Chilis?" "Dial it up on Waze!" I say! He ordered... Yup, chicken tenders and fries, and tots... (yes, two sides, both potatoes... delivery is just one, in person, we could pay the extra $1 to get both! --- WIN!! I ordered the OG tacos, which is, simple English, 3 crispy tacos. These shells are NOT bar shells.. they seem homemade somehow. The tacos have tomatoes, sour cream, and are more 'supreme' than 'og' in my opinion. They were so much better in person than in the 2nd day of delivery, because they were still hot and fresh (minus the 20 min delivery time). I got the chips and salsa as my side dish, but you can get fries, or any 'regular' side dish as your side here. ... remember, you're eating Mexican food at a bar, so you're not stuck with Mexican food... let your fusion taste buds free... go for a side dish of tater tots!! Honestly, after we ate, I walked over to the bar side, and took all these pics... we didn't eat on the bar side, but next side, I'll be bar side for sure. It looks like about 6 sections of fun just waiting for you! Pool, darts, video games, tons of tvs, and seating seems unlimited! The only thing that seems to be missing ... is you! (No, I don't work for them... haha. But, the vibe is so fun, I'm sure it's a fun place to work too). The music on the dining side and bar side both is audible but not nightclub-y. You can still have a nice conversation with your friends as you enjoy your evening!

We went fishing on the Chattahoochee River today. We didn't catch anything worth eating (trout) so my husband brought us to lunch at this establishment. I was looking around at the old worn out dark smoke stinky interior thinking it could withstand a good pressure washing inside. But my dh used to work across the street in the tall building and assured me I would like the burgers. I ordered the Fried Green Tomato Burger, a special. IT WAS THE BEST DAMN BURGER I EVER PUT IN MY MOUTH! The onion rings are OUT OF THIS WORLD! Fresh and hand made, I could tell. Too bad we live far away (40+ minutes in traffic).

This place has earned the label "dive bar" in the best sense of the word. Beer lovers will appreciate the amazing choices of really good beer on tap. Hard to decide among all the great beers. Food choices are typical bar/restaurant fare - nothing really great and nothing really bad - just good decent food. The parking lot is always packed but there is so much seating and space that the place never feels crowded. A bit of a Cheers bar as there are a lot of regular patrons and lots of familiar repartee among the patrons, bartenders and wait staff. It's just a good, decent "dive bar" and a great place to watch March Madness and sports in general. Glad this place persists and stays in business.
