The food was phenomenal!!! I ordered the vodka chicken parm and it did not disappoint! The drinks were just as amazing, and the bartenders were so friendly and welcoming, they truly made you feel at home. The live music was great too. Highly recommend!

On my first visit, I ordered a po- boy oyster sandwich with home made potato chips. The potato chips were overly salty and too light. I much prefer a kettle style chip, dark brown in color, with a good crunch. My po- boy sandwich was very good. French onion was decent, but they used mozzarella cheese instead of guyere, a must for French onion. My first time trying chicken and waffles. Nothing wrong with it. But nothing stood out either. Bob, my dining companion, declared the cheese steak and clam chowder as excellent. On thanksgiving eve, Helen, Leon and I all ordered turkey platters. A fresh salad with great blue cheese dressing. Turkey was moist, tender and delish, with a large portion. Stuffing was very good, as was mashed potatoes and gravy. Served with cranberry sauce. Desserts of app

Stopped in on a Wednesday at around 5. Place was not that busy and was able to get a seat at the bar with no wait. They have a good selection of draft beer and full bar. I had the Buffalo Chicken Dip Egg Rolls and they wear very good and big 😀. All employees were very nice and helpful. They have a wide variety of food on menu and I hope to be able to return to try some more!!

The Tavern hosted our company party, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better service. From start to finish, everything was seamless and well run. The food was outstanding. The pizza, chicken and waffles, clams casino, and the buffalo chicken salad were all incredible, and that salad might even beat Dogtooth 😄. Every dish came out fresh and flavorful, and our entire group was impressed. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly without ever feeling intrusive. It made the whole night feel easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend The Tavern for a company event or a great night out. We’ll definitely be back.
