Skunk Hollow Tavern

My husband and I took our family for a lovely holiday dinner. The dining room upstairs was so pretty with tapered candles on each table. It is intimate and cozy and the staff were wonderful. We felt so welcomed it was like being invited to a close friends home for an indescribably delicious dinner that was made from scratch all that day from start to finish just for you. Everything from homemade baked popovers rolls and sweet bread to appetizers and main course were superb.
The deserts were homemade right there every single one all just gorgeous and delicious.
This, is what made our dinner so exceptional more so than anywhere else was the personal attention from everyone the dinner felt like it was made just for us. It was marvelous.

What a lovely place! My partner and I liked it so much that we had to come back for a second night.

Our favorites were:

the fish and chips
friand (asparagus and brie in puff pastry)
the augustus cocktail
the maple crème brûlée

Highly recommend stopping here, trying the delicious food and getting to know the locals!

I called to ask about what gluten free items were on the menu. I was told we have one or two things that can be done gluten free, ….. long silence…… I asked, so, what items? do you have GF burger buns for the burger or what might be gluten free? The other person emphatically informed me that no they didn’t, they were not that kind of place. They didn’t serve that kind of food with a dismissive tone in their voice. I’ve always wanted to try the Skunk. Now I never need to go there based on the interaction with the person who answered the phone.

Great friendly place, good food. Definitely worth a visit while in town. Highly recommend reservations, especially if you’d like to sit upstairs. We were able to be seated without them downstairs, but it became a full house soon after.

Amazing food (best fried chicken I've ever had) , great service. Super friendly staff. It was an open mic night, and we were treated to extremely cool live music - an awesome bonus! Highly recommended if you're in the area.

We stopped in from out of town and had a great time. The food was A++, far better than typcial pub fare. Home made breads, deserts, and great meals with many local ingredients. The outdoor dining was awesome, we had a table in their garden with a live band playing nearby. 10/10! the picture is of the "desert menu"

I love Skunk Hollow Tavern and have been there many times over the past ten years. I'm surprised by the most of the reviews here: the food is ok, but nothing special. There are lovely touches like the basket of homemade breads that serve as an appetizer. But the cuisine is modest. What is delightful and special is the setting. It's a delightful old inn with a great deal of charm; the downstairs tavern is particularly charming, but the upstairs is as well. Worth a visit but be realistic regarding the cuisine, which is a mixed bag: good but not excellent.

Been enjoying the Skunk regularly since the ‘eighties. Just gets better every time. I’ve never had take-out.

As a local, it was hard to believe this place could be so good since we had never heard about it and it is in the middle of nowhere! Went for a friend's birthday dinner and, wow, what a treat! It is in several small rooms of a very old house that used to be an inn. The eclectic atmosphere and historic ambiance made for a warm and homey vibe. You need to make reservations because seating and parking are limited. We sat at the bar, which seats 6, where Heidi took great care of us. What a sweetheart! The drinks were amazing, and the food was top-notch, local, fresh, everything made from scratch!! This means it takes a little longer to prepare, and it was pricey but well worth it for a special occasion. We will definitely be back! It is family-owned, and everyone, even the chef, interacted with the guests - you can feel the family ties here. These folks have a very special thing going on, and it is working, and apparently, has been for many years. It didn't appear that the building was wheelchair accessible and the bathrooms were up very narrow stairs on the 2nd and 3rd floors, so if you have mobility issues, this may not work for you.

Parking: We parked in the church parking lot next door.

Wheelchair accessibility: I am moderately disabled and to get to the upstairs dining room I had to go through their kitchen. I’m not sure how these places get such poor accessibility.

We have been regulars for 20 years. They make a drink specially for us. We walk in and whoever is behind the bar starts making it. Chicken Carlos is a favorite and Carlos also has a way with pork. We have several revolving favorite appetizers and entrees on the menu. Gretchen's desserts, especially the chocolate raspberry cake, are wonderful and her homemade ice cream rock. The wait staff make dining there a fun experience. Love the Skunk!!!

We called ahead two hours in advance and got a reservation in the upstairs dining area. It was such a cute and cozy place. Everyone was very polite and friendly. The waitress was funny and very knowledgeable, we felt right at home. The cocktails were delicious and the food was excellent. We would definitely go again!
