About Dovetail Inn

Dovetail Inn in Emden is a must-visit restaurant for delicious food experiences. The menu offers a variety of options, from smash burgers to fried chicken gizzards, all prepared to perfection. The decor is tasteful, with plenty of seating for larger groups. The service is friendly and fast, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Guests have praised the smash burger, served on a ciabatta bun with cheddar cheese, as one of the best ever had, with flavorful seared perfection. The gizzards, a Wednesday special, are highlighted as a must-try dish, even for those who typically don't enjoy gizzards. The tenderloin sandwich has also received compliments for being more than just a thin piece of cardboard, making it the best in town. Desserts are a hit, with options made in-house and from a local bakery. One guest mentioned a minor issue with the tap water taste, but this did not overshadow the overall experience at Dovetail Inn, which is highly recommended. Whether looking for burgers, gizzards, or a great meal, Dovetail Inn is worth the visit for a memorable dining experience. The breakfast buffet has also impressed visitors, with perfectly seasoned hash browns and delicious biscuits.

We had the family chicken dinner tonight. it was excellent, some of the best fried chicken we have had. Sides were delicious as well. Thank you Todd and staff

We stopped in last Saturday. Everything was phenomenal! It’s about a 30 minute drive from us but will definitely be putting it on our list of places to eat. Would recommend 100 percent. Excellent service, food, atmosphere. See you soon!

Me and my son ordered gizzards to go with choice of 2 side dishes. Unreal amount of choices for side dishes. Absolutely the best gizzards I have ever had! I have had gizzards from lots of places in my life, but nothing ever even close to as good tasting, and tender as these. Highly recommend trying these out! I will order often now.
