J Huston Tavern is steeped in history. You should make the time to become aquainted with the town of Arrow Rock, the fine folks here and The J Huston Tavern. Spend time, decompress and have a memorable meal of wonderful food and drink. Great job to the staff and ownership of J Huston Tavern. Well done. KUDOS!!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Samantha Huston · Feb 2026

The new chef and management team have totally revamped this charming restaurant, everything from the food to the aesthetics! The menu offers a diverse set of intentional dishes, everyone loved their dinners! The mushroom pappardelle was phenomenal. Full bar, with fun seasonal cocktails. On buffet days (Theater days and holidays) the food is much improved from previous years— much more fresh and flavorful!

★★★★★ 5.0 Mark Mertens · Dec 2025

Good buffet. Fried chicken and cranberry ham were very good. Green beans had a different taste but were very delicious. Salad was fresh as was the fruit salad. Everything looked very nice and attractive to eat. The cherry cobbler was not as good as everything else. They gave us a table with big easy chairs for our chairs to sit in. Very comfortable but a little hard to get up and going. I think I could have sat there for some time. Staff were great. They were very friendly and efficient. Hardly any wait. Highly recommend.

We have been there twice. The first time everything was sooo delicious. Fried chicken cooked to perfection! All the sides and desserts also mouthwatering! Unfortunately for their chef, he was out the second time with an injury. We drove 90 minutes one way to eat the delicious fried chicken and to our disappointment none to be had. No wonderful variety of warm/yummy desserts either. But hope he is doing well and we will definitely come back for another try. Very reasonably priced for the quality of food.

We ate here before a show at the Lyceum Theater. The fried chicken with mashed potatoes and creamy gravy and maple glazed carrots was great. Our appetizers were delicious too. The clam chowder was tasty too! What a treat! Great place! So much history at this restaurant and in this town!
