Have been into the ‘Tross many times and have never been disappointed! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The drinks are outstanding as is everything that comes out of the kitchen. Pro tip - always check the specials board (and if you see a Reuben listed - you want THAT!)

Sure, I wish it were Sublime Smoke, but the staff is the same and the level of effort put into creating quality food and drinks is the same. Always love seeing Taylor and hearing her suggestions, one of our favorites.

Best chicken tacos in Tuscarawas County! Since my weekend plans got postponed, I decided to enjoy a chicken taco since they've become a Facebook rage overnight. I splurged and even decided to pay the tariffs for an official shot of Mexican tequila and Dos Equis beer.

Great little space to hide away on a night out! Great variety of food on the menu, my favorite is the pineapple banger taco. The ever changing beer selection keeps things fresh.

A pleasant surprise in an overlooked location adjacent to I 77. The owner/chef creates tasty, surprising daily specials. The standard fare is of smoked meats, burgers, tacos and pizza are all well prepared. The full bar and a broad selection of handles makes choosing a beverage pretty easy. If I lived closer I would eat more.
