It was very HOT inside. The bartender was friendly, and her service was good.

My wife and I shared a club sandwich and a tenderloin with chips! Really DELICIOUS! Great deal. Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved the food despite that they ran out of the chicken dinner special. Awesome value. Beautiful setting. Very interesting country fried steak. I recommend this establishment.

Great place to meet up with friends.

Love Merna! It is exactly what it should be. Hole in the wall bar with solid food and good people. Is it dark, yes. Is it loud, hell yes! Are most of their options fried, damn straight!

Again, this place is exactly what it's supposed to be.

Went for Walleye dinner. Fish was the dry and mostly batter. I felt like Chevy Chase in Christmas Vacation trying to eat the turkey. I hope this was an off night, but was not worth the price. Waitress was very nice and attentive. Will not get the fish again!

Coming home from a sale and starving. Stopped,at Merna Tap for lunch. We were greeted when we came in. Only a minute after we sat down, when our waitress gave us a friendly hello and got our drink orders. Those arrived and we both ordered the cheeseburger special. They arrived soon after with fresh toppings, a garden red tomato and perfectly done burgers. Our waitress ( didn't get her name but was super nice) checked on us several times, checking our drinks and making sure we had everything we needed. It was sorta out of our way home to Towanda but definitely worth the drive to Merna Tap. Great food, reasonable prices and friendly folks!

Kid-friendliness: Although they have a bar, there is a slightly separate dining area. Several families with kids were enjoying their lunch while we were there.
