    I would like to take this opportunity to praise your staff at Tarpy’s Roadhouse for the outstanding service my group experienced yesterday for our Easter Sunday lunch. Their superior level of service reminds me of a famous quote by Walt Disney: Walt Disney once said – “You can dream, create, and build the most wonderful place on earth, but it takes people to make that dream come true.”

    Have always loved Tarpey’s and will continue to visit. We were, unfortunately, seated next to a table with two children, coughing and sneezing constantly, and we probably should have asked to be reseated. We’re just hoping we don’t come down with anything, but are glad the tourists continue to come to our lovely cities, but would prefer if they kept their germs to themselves. But we do and will always love Tarpey’s.

    Found this restaurant on open table. Had great reviews. Was not disappointed; food, service and atmosphere was outstanding. They easily accommodated 8 of us. If you are in the area, this is a must.

    Ashley gave us unparalleled service! The Sea Otter Classic was happening in town and Tarpy’s was overwhelmed, but for Ashley’s wonderful hospitality. The food is always great!
