The Yardehouse Tavern

I have been here many times and on this occasion the food truly stood out.  My family had 4 different meals, Fish and Chips, Stuffed Sole, Mac and Cheese a the Kids Chicken Fingers.

The (adult) Mac and Cheese was enjoyed by one of the kids.  It was cheesy without being wet, nicely seasoned, topped with breadcrumbs which were crisp along with bacon.

The Fish and Chips was fresh and not greasy.  
Stuffed Sole - sufficient amount of crab meat stuffing with a good balance of breadcrumbs.

Kid #2 enjoyed the chicken fingers.  

I am not sure why this restaurant is rated $$$$.  Dinners are between $13 and $18, appetizers are $8 to $10 and sandwiches at $8 to $10.

My fiancee and I were passing through the area and figured we would stop in. Located in Enfield off I-91 easy on and off the highway.

We had stopped in on a Friday evening and the parking lot was pretty full. Not a very big parking lot, but some people began to start parking on the side of the road. Once we found a spot we proceeded in. Once we opened the door we were promptly greeted and we noticed that two seats were open at the bar, so we ended up sitting there. There were a few tables open as well, but we always prefer to sit at the bar if we don't plan on spending too much time there.

As soon as we sat down the bartender was quick to greet us and start our drink orders. They seemed to have a pretty decent selection of beers on draft, as well as bottle selections. We received our menus and spent some time reviewing the options. They also had some specials for St Paddys day. The St Paddys selections seemed pretty good, but I ended up asking the bartender for a recommendation. The bartender recommended a corn beef ruben which I ended getting and my fiancee tried one of their St Paddys specials. Our food was out very quick and was excellent. I really enjoyed the corned beef ruben, even though its not something I would typically order.

The atmosphere inside was very nice and open. Long bar and large seating area throughout the establishment. Very nice and helpful staff. We will definitely be stopping back in the next time we are in the area!

Long story short this was my first time at this establishment. I heard good things about their wing so decided to get them. The wings were everything I hoped they would be and you get your money's worth. The drinks were reasonably priced and the atmosphere was good. It's not five star dining but if you're looking for a decent sports bar it's at the top of the list. I would definitely go back.
