Needed to fuel up our bodies last Sunday late-ish night for the long drive home & was happy to come across this place! The food was great, our server was also the bartender but you'd never know because she was so attentive & def can't beat the prices...especially given that we ordered 5 different items plus drinks. Would definitely go again if I'm in the area.

This is an authentic, awesome little bar in a little town that's struggling. Older, super friendly, working class customers; familiar, friendly service. Clearly a local hangout -- a gender- and racially-mixed group were meeting in a side room to share pizza before settling to down to their weekly dice, cards and dollar bills....wIth breaks for drink refreshment. Some customers at the bar sang along to a jukebox mix of Toby Keith, Tom Jones, The Beatles, Poison and The Monkees. A couple of local guys had a beer while picking up pizza to take back to their families. We washed down our solid bar fare with very good, local IPA's from a microbrewery headed by a woman who couldn't do what she wanted to do at a bigger brewery, so she started her own here in Palmer. There are probably better places to eat in town, but Tailgate has to be the most authentic, welcoming place here. I'll look forward to going back.

Great, friendly staff. Fantastic food and prices. So much better than that sewer called Gussys one street over. The clientele at Tailgate are very nice, friendly people. So much better than the old, drunk, trailer park trash at Gussys. I'll spend my time and money here.
