every time they are in town &#8211; even if they do go without me.<\/p>\n<p>The menu is diverse with a slight emphasis on seafood.\u00a0 One of their most popular items is their Clam Chowder Soup ($5\/cup, $7\/bowl).\u00a0 On more than one occasion I&#8217;ve found myself craving a mug of this creamy, smooth, delicious soup that is overflowing with clams yet is not &#8216;too fishy&#8217;.\u00a0 Many folks swear by the Lobster Chowder ($7\/cup, $9\/bowl) , which is only served on Friday nights, but for me the Clam Chowder is still the best thing on the menu.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/foodietales.com\/2012\/09\/celebration-town-tavern-celebration-florida\/clam_chowder_resized\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-352\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-352\" title=\"clam_chowder_resized\" src=\"http:\/\/foodietales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/clam_chowder_resized.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"648\" height=\"484\" srcset=\"http:\/\/foodietales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/clam_chowder_resized.jpg 648w, http:\/\/foodietales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/clam_chowder_resized-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Portions are often too big for one person and I strongly recommend sharing, especially their onions rings ($6) which are lightly battered and piled to an impressive height.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/foodietales.com\/2012\/09\/celebration-town-tavern-celebration-florida\/onion_rings_resized\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-360\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-360\" title=\"onion_rings_resized\" src=\"http:\/\/foodietales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/onion_rings_resized.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"648\" height=\"484\" srcset=\"http:\/\/foodietales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/onion_rings_resized.jpg 648w, http:\/\/foodietales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/onion_rings_resized-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another favorite among our group is the spicy tuna dip ($7).\u00a0 Served with colorful nacho chips this dip can often be too spicy for me personally.\u00a0 However, the bowl always seems to leave our table looking like it was licked clean.<\/p>\n<p>Menu choices range from chicken, to meatloaf, to fish and a variety of sandwiches.\u00a0 There is definitely something for everyone.\u00a0 Not a fish eater?\u00a0 Try their Philly Cheese Sandwich ($10).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/foodietales.com\/2012\/09\/celebration-town-tavern-celebration-florida\/steak_sandwich_resized\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-354\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-354\" title=\"steak_sandwich_resized\" src=\"http:\/\/foodietales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steak_sandwich_resized.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"648\" height=\"484\" srcset=\"http:\/\/foodietales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steak_sandwich_resized.jpg 648w, http:\/\/foodietales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/steak_sandwich_resized-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another favorite is there Cape Cod Salad ($16) which is overflowing with lobster, corn salsa, bacon, egg, blue cheese crumbles, diced tomato, and avocado.\u00a0 This one is big enough to share.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/foodietales.com\/2012\/09\/celebration-town-tavern-celebration-florida\/seafood_cobb_resized\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-356\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-356\" title=\"seafood_cobb_resized\" src=\"http:\/\/foodietales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/seafood_cobb_resized.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"648\" height=\"484\" srcset=\"http:\/\/foodietales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/seafood_cobb_resized.jpg 648w, http:\/\/foodietales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/seafood_cobb_resized-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My go-to-meal is the Baked Seafood Medley.\u00a0 At $23 it&#8217;s one of the most expensive items on the menu but well worth the price.\u00a0 Fresh scrod, shrimp, and scallops are all baked in a\u00a0white wine and lemon butter sauce.\u00a0Hot and bubbly when it reaches the table &#8211;
