I was recently at Manley’s Tavern and had a really disappointing experience.
The food was decent overall, but a lot of it was overcooked and the portions were smaller than expected. Nothing terrible, but nothing great either.
The bigger issue was the service. Our server Yancy was flat out unpleasant. From the moment we arrived, it was obvious she was unhappy that our group showed up, even though the place was nearly empty when we got there around 8 PM. She was rude at every interaction and never once smiled. You could feel the irritation coming off her the entire time.
We have a long standing tradition of doing a shot ski, and her reaction to that was openly hostile. I actually don’t mind a bartender who’s gritty or no nonsense, but there’s a big difference between that and just being rude. Unfortunately, this crossed that line.
The place itself also feels like it’s stuck in the past. No updates, no real sense that anyone is trying to improve or grow the experience. That’s a shame, because Manley’s used to be a classic stop for people heading up or down the mountain.
Hopefully next time the service is better, because right now it feels like this place has lost what once made it special.

I heard they were famous for there chicken. I should have tried that, the chili isn't any good. But a comfortable, clean friendly place

Not bad if you don't mind the wait. I wouldn't mind so much if the place was packed, this visit it was not. I would stop again if time wasn't a issue.

The chicken was very good but not quite like it used to be. Can't put my finger on a difference. Still worthy of stopping for chicken!

The outside is pretty plain, driving by I wouldn't have registered this as a place to make a pit stop, but we got a local recommendation and went looking for it. Excellent fried chicken and JoJo's in a mountain bar atmosphere. Note that it is cash only.

Very tasty comfort American food. Nice staffs. A few tips for tourists like us: (1) cash only, but they have ATM inside (2) no minors allowed inside.
