“Came here to visit friends that were on a league.Bowled candlepin for the first time since I was a teen.What a blast, this place is awesome.It's a step back in time!Full bar, staff was super friendly and accommodating.Only 8 lanes, however; so check before coming if you want to bowl, since a league will take up all the lanesThe equipment worked perfectly, and the place was clean and inviting.Very cool place to chill and bowl!“
“Amazing place! Vibes are great, new Karaoke djs are awesome (dj grizz and dj brando from short rides entertainment) they even played a little bit after and accomidated to the kareokeians! There is 2 pool tables, Cornhole, beer pong. Wish they had darts tho, otherwise it's a great place and they also have food! Didn't get any so I'm not sure how good it is but I have a feeling it will be delicious! Will 100% be back!“
“While I may have a bias as a six year server at the Steaming Tender, I am truly blessed to be a part of our team. My fellow servers are genuinely friendly and eager to learn, each bringing their authentic personality and sense of professionalism to the table. Our bartenders mix and match with the best of them, whether you fancy one of our rotating local draft beers, a seasonally curated cocktail, or a classic mocktail for those lighter days, they'll prepare you a beverage that will hit the spot with finesse, know-how, and a great conversation. Our chefs are some of the hardest working people I know, consistently innovating and executing a complex array of well-crafted dishes. They can have a seemingly endless amount of orders coming into their kitchen and still put their hearts and souls into every diner's plate. And the best part is, our dishwashers work seamlessly behind the scenes, ensuring you needn't worry about a thing. Steaming Tender is fully family owned and operated and it shows. Our management values input, seeks new ways to expand and improve, and strive to create a positive work environment. Lastly, but certainly not least, the preservation of this historical landmark of Palmer keeps our rich American history alive. I truly believe H.H. Richardson and Frederick Law Olmsted would be proud. If you appreciate delicious food, delightful service, and a deep dive into local history I encourage you to choo-choo-choose the Steaming Tender.Vegetarian options: Seasonal salads, secret garden veggie burger, basil pomodoroDietary restrictions: Vegan options, gluten free options. Accommodating kitchen.Kid-friendliness: Kids will love watching the trains go by, the birthday song, and sitting in the shoe shine station. The patio in the summer time is always a wow moment as well. Be sure to check out the grounds filled with antique stagecoach, train memorabilia, and genuine 1915 Porter Locomotive.Wheelchair accessibility: Sloped area in the curbing next to the red dining car, beside handicap parking.“

“It's a fun little establishment to hang out on the outdoor patio with friends on a Friday after work. They have live music, but left before the musicians started.Ordered a couple of apps - fried pickles and bourbon wings. Apps were served fast, fresh and hot. Robust portions are great for sharing.Bartender was the only one on site - she juggled inside and outside quite nicely. Checking in frequently on her customers.“
“McCarthys Pub is an amazing place! Excellent and reasonably priced food, nice cold beer and a friendly and pleasant staff. It is by far my favorite place to go! Give them a try, l guarantee you will not be disappointed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“This is the only Tavern in town that you can walk in the door and instantly be welcomed by strangers. You will not be judged by your clothes or what you drive. Its small in size but big in comfort. Stop in anytime, anyday and see Tony. They are open 365 days a year.“
