It all began in the old mining town of Jerome, Arizona with the Haunted Hamburger. The Haunted Hamburger clings to the mountainside overlooking the beautiful Verde Valley with views to the San Francisco Peaks. The Haunted Group, six distinctive restaurants, and a boutique hotel pride themselves in exceeding expectations with really memorable food, great mixologists, and a cool Euro-style hotel experience.
Owners Eric and Michelle Jurisin have a passion for great food and personal service. They live in the Verde Valley and with this proximity, they can take a very hands-on approach to their businesses. Michelle is continuously creating new menu items, as she works closely with the kitchen crews at each of The Haunted Group restaurants. Michelles Wine Dinners at Grapes are favorites for the Sedona, Cottonwood, and Verde Valley locals watch for announcements and reservations in the Haunted Group Newsletter. Recipes that she develops for the Wine Dinners frequently make their way to the menus in The Haunted Group.
Exceptional food and terrific service are the guiding lights for The Haunted Group. You will be greeted by employees who have been on the scene for years because they love the product just as much as the Jurisins do. When you stay with us at the Tavern Hotel, you will love the feel of luxury in your room and the authentic feel of Old Town Main Streets tasting rooms, restaurants, funky shops, and colorful locals. A great Continental Breakfast is included for all of our guests across the street at our newest restaurant, Crema Craft Kitchen & Bar. The Tavern Grille and Nics are right out your front door, Bocce just down the street, and Grapes and the Haunted Hamburger are right up the hill in Jerome.
