"What a hidden gem! We were looking for a nice spot for a casual dinner late on a Tuesday evening, but many places were closed. Peddler's Village, which is usually bustling, was surprisingly quiet. Thankfully, To The Happiness Tavern was still open. The atmosphere was charming and had a bit of a nostalgic feel, without feeling outdated. The tavern wasn't crowded, and when we inquired about the IPA on tap, we were quickly offered a generous sample. I ended up going with a Flickerbrau, but appreciated the opportunity to try a few options. For a light dinner for two, we ordered the Hummus Platter starter and a burger. The menu was a bit smaller than usual, but that wasn't surprising considering the pandemic. The hummus plate came with pita chips, cucumber slices, carrot sticks, and celery; while the accompaniments were average, the hummus itself was exceptional with a sprinkle of seasoning and olive oil. To make up for the relatively simple starter, we decided to share the Roadhouse Cheddar Burger. To our delight, the kitchen had already split it for us, serving a generous portion of fries on each plate along with a massive pickle slice. I've never had a restaurant pre-split a dish when told we were sharing, let alone include all the extras. The burger was incredibly tasty and cooked to perfection. We also didn't need to ask for ketchup as each plate came with some. My tip: dip the fries in the hummus, it's worth it! We ordered a dessert to go and were pleased to bring some home. The staff was friendly and seemed happy to have some business on a slow night. I wouldn't hesitate to return in the future for a beer and a burger!"
