J&k's Half Moon Tavern

Great onion rings. Decent burgers. Fun small town bar atmosphere. Lunch specials on weekdays!

My husband and I wanted to try some local food and found this on Yelp. We asked my local family if it was good and they said to give it a try. I'm glad we did! We arrived around 6:30pm on a Saturday night during a hockey game. When you enter, you first go through the bar to get to the back dining area. Let me just say walking through the bar garnered us some stares and if I wasn't with some "locals" I might have been intimidated. Luckily, the dining area was uninhabited and quieter than the bar. Our waitress was quick to bring menus and our drinks. I noticed they had breaded pickle spears and since I'm on a pickle kick decided we had to have them as an appetizer. Oh boy, were they good. (Think deep fried pickle spears and ranch dressing. Mmm.) For dinner, I ordered the half rack of BBQ ribs which came with soup, salad, bread, and choice of potato (baked, fries, or deep fried potato salad). I went with the soup of the day (corn beef and cabbage) and a baked potato because I couldn't wrap my mind around deep fried potato salad. It was definitely way too much food, but good nonetheless. My dining companions and my husband all ordered the ribeye with similar side items. My ribs were so good the meat fell off the bones and I ate the meat all up. I didn't touch much of the potato after digging in to my soup and salad, but it was your standard potato. My husband and companions all said the ribeye was good, but my husband was quick to point out he made a better steak at home. I didn't try any steak so I couldn't comment. Overall, it was a good experience and I'd like to come back and try some more of their BBQ items.

While on our way to St. Charles, 23 of us stopped in for lunch and the staff was great! The foodand service was great. We even took the directions from your website to get to St. Charles and loved the back roads. Thanks J&K Halfmoon, you guys are great! Pam West
