In most towns, it seems that establishments which call themselves a "bar and grill" are exceedingly common. Of course, Mt. Bethel, Pennsylvania, is no exception to this rule. However, one of the most popular of these restaurants is TK's Bar and Grill, and although the restaurant offers a nice environment and friendly service, the actual quality of the food may be just a bit lacking. However, even though one may want to avoid the buffet nights, TK's is a still a great place to stop and get a burger, even if there may be other choices waiting.

Among all of the restaurants in the Mt. Bethel area, perhaps TK's is the easiest to find. Located directly off of 512, and with plenty of parking, both in the front and back of the restaurant, TK's is definitely accessible. From the moment that one walks into the restaurant, it is easy to notice the very nicely decorated interior, and the separate dining room as well as the bar located in the front of the restaurant. However, even the bar is maintained and very nice, and the dining room is always clean, and one never wonders if the tables were cleaned or not before they sit down. With plenty of room, TK's usually does not have a waiting list, even on busier nights such as Friday and Saturday.

The service at TK's is almost always nice, and it is very difficult to get a waiter or waitress who is not pleasant and cheerful. All the staff do their best to make sure that the customers have a great time while dining. In fact, this may be one of the single nicest things about the restaurant, and the service is truly unparalleled regardless of where one might choose to eat in the area.

However, while the atmosphere and service are both excellent, it may not be a great word to describe the overall quality of the food. Of course, TK's does not have bad food by any means or definition, it just isn't incredible. However, the restaurant does serve very good "dinner" themed meals, such as roast beef with a side of mashed potatoes and vegetables. Also, the hamburgers are generally very good. However, the only thing that absolutely needs to be avoided by TK"s patrons is the buffet. Offered at various times throughout the week, the buffet food is generally cold, bland, and questionable in appearance. However, if one manages to pick the right menu items, and goes in the right attitude; looking for a simple meal with friendly service and nice atmosphere, dining at TK's is a really enjoyable experience, and there is no reason that one should not at least try the restaurant before making a decision about it.

While there are indeed many choices of where to eat in Mt. Bethel, TK's definitely has the nicest atmosphere around, and the food, although it may not be exceptional, is good. From the friendly staff to the nice atmosphere, TK's is an overall very pleasant dining experience, and one that some may wish to repeat many times to come. If one is looking for a nice place to a good meal, and have it served with a smile, TK's may very well be the perfect place.
