“It comes any way you like it,” said chef and co-owner Aaron Long. “You can build any of our burgers with Sequatchie beef from Bill Keener’s Sequatchie Cove Farms. There’s our regular burger, the Tavern Burger, our mushroom-Swiss burger, blue cheese burger, havarti cheese burger. We have several to choose from.”
The mushroom-Swiss burger is the most popular, Long added. Fresh mushrooms are seasoned and sautéed in olive oil and used as a topping along with melted Swiss cheese. The beef is organic and grass-fed. Burgers are hand-formed into 6-ounce patties, then seasoned and grilled to specification.
All burgers are served on buns made and delivered daily from Niedlov’s.
They come with a choice of one of 10 side dishes, such as fries, chips, sweet potato soufflé or smoked gouda mac and cheese, a house favorite.
