Anyone, anyone coming to Marietta, Pennsylvania has to visit Shanks tavern! I'm 74 years old, and this is the most friendly place I've ever stepped into. The staff takes time to talk with you with smiling faces. The owner came over to our table, introduced himself ,we had a lovely conversation. There are no TVs in this tavern. It should be the highlight of anyone's visit to Marietta, Pennsylvania. We were just visiting here for two nights, having driven four hours to get here. After our initial introductions, these people knew they were never going to see us again, yet they took time to make us feel so welcome!

This is the type of place, although we do not go often but if you do, "Everyone knows your name." VERY good food, VERY friendly people, beautiful Tavern. Thank you for a great Quesadilla w/chicken and House Salad, delicious blue cheese dressing and Cheese Steak and Soup. This time had the Flatbread pizza, Vegetarian Spring Roll with peanut sauce and my husband was hungry for their Ham and Turkey sandwich, all delicious. Seems we are going more and more as everything is made to order and fresh.

Such a historic bar and super friendly staff. I could spend hours just looking at the walls and the pictures and talking to all that nice patrons. Had the burger and a salad and it was perfect just as ordered. But what I really liked was the beer selection, out of the 10 or 12 taps only two or three IPAs, thus they had excellent other choices, really like that in a bar these days.

Found it on a historical tavern web site so we thought we'd try it. We arrived on our motorcycle a half hr before they opened. I guess they saw us, and invited us in early. The food was awesome and the service was friendly and comfortable. Felt like we were one if the regulars! Definitely would stop again if in the area!
