Jack Mason's Tavern

Unimpressed.  Nothing special.  Run-of-the-mill menu.

Had dinner here with my family. Great atmosphere, delicious food and very attentive service. Was surprised to find such a great place in a small town, it definitively rivals what you would find in a more metropolitan area. Will definitely be back!

My M/C had regional meetings in Clifton Forge and about the only place that had a room large enough for us was at Jack Mason's. We pulled up to the front and started parking our bikes. One of the waitresses came out to warn us that we were in a handicapped spot. That was our introduction to the friendliness of the folks at Jacks. We moved the bikes to the other side of the street and were welcomed not only by the staff, but the locals that were at the bar. We were shown to their meeting room (which doubled as a game room) and the waitress was getting our coffee orders while we were stripping off the cold weather riding gear. Yeah, we ride in winter too. She was attentive, friendly, and helpful. Most of us ordered the Spicy Tavern Burger, lean ground beef with hot Italian sausage mixed in (I added pepper jack cheese for just a little more kick) and fries. I'm stealing the recipe for that burger! It was fantastic, juicy, spicy and hit the spot! After our meeting we did partake of beer (cold Budweiser!) and the lady who I believe was the owner told us that we might want to take the bikes back to the Red Lantern Inn (review upcoming) and walk back before we had too many. Small town...small town cops was how she put it. We understood completely. We took her advice and returned about 10 minutes later. The place was still semi-busy, but again, service was outstanding.

We are planning another ride down that way just to visit Jack Mason's Tavern!
