After a much-anticipated hiatus, Johnson Creek's beloved turkey-themed dining and entertainment hotspot, The Gobbler, is back in business and better than ever. A charming venue that captures the essence of all things turkey, it invites both locals and visitors to indulge in a quirky yet savory culinary experience.
A Taste of the Unique
What sets The Gobbler apart? It's not just the turkey-centric menu, but the atmosphere that combines fun and flavor. Here, I found myself knee-deep in turkey tacos, and let me tell you, it was more than just a meal—it was an experience. The decor immerses you in a lighthearted and somewhat whimsical vibe, perfect for families and anyone looking to feed their inner foodie.
"We wanted to create a space where people could come together, enjoy good food, and create memories—that's the true spirit of The Gobbler," says the owner.

But what is a great meal without entertainment? The Gobbler flaunts live performances, trivia nights, and seasonal events that keep the community engaged and entertained. As I attended a trivia night, filled with laughter and the sound of clinking glasses, it reinforced the idea that The Gobbler is more than just a restaurant—it's a community hub.
