a little something for everyone From the plentiful menu offerings to the inviting atmosphere, Treehouse Tavern strives to make all guests feel right at home. W TheRoanoker.com ith a lot of hard work and perseverance, Scott and Lee Markham made their dream of opening a familyfriendly restaurant a reality last August. It's clear that their enthusiastic fan base has only grown since based on the results of our 2024 Dining Awards poll, in which Treehouse Tavern brought home numerous platinum, gold and silver wins. The Markhams' friends and family have been their biggest cheerleaders since the day they announced they were going to pursue this new venture. But there's something about the warm welcome they've received from their guests that's made the whole experience that much more humbling. " The best reward is a full dining room of happy customers, but this recognition is further confirmation that all the hard work is worth it, " says Lee. " It is very validating to know our vision resonates so strongly with the community, and [it motivates us] to continue working toward more of our ideas. " The Markhams also say that their " loyal and incredibly hardworking " staff members - many of whom have been a part of the Treehouse Tavern team since the beginning - deserve a lot of the credit for these accolades.
