The Old '76 House

Really enjoyed my first experience at America's Oldest Tavern. Menu has all the staples including a few unique options such as duck, alligator & ostrich. Salads, Burgers, Turkey, Meatloaf, Seafood. I got the Chicken pot pie. Historical decor and inviting ambiance. Great food and friendly staff! Large Parking lot.

We've been here several times and it's always great. Awesome building and staff. We've had retirement dinners, birthdays, and anniversaries here. Tappan in general is very good for dining, there are a lot of great places to try out but this is one of our favorites. I wouldn't get it on your first trip in, but the yankee pot roast is a great home styled dish that is amazing! The desserts are great, I like the apple pie and crème brûlée. Can be a little loud when at capacity, I like going on slower nights. Love this place!

That is unheard of in today's dining landscape and appreciated. Depending o

The service was good and for history buffs the atmosphere can't be beat. Washington liked to eat here and Hamilton lived upstairs for two years wow. The food was the standout hot and delicious. We will be back.

Last night's dining experience at the 76 House was nothing short of amazing in every respect. We were a bit early for our reservation but the hostess greeted us with an enthusiastic smile and the four of us were immediately seated at a perfect corner table. Our server was attentive and even our busboy was spot on. My wife and I shared stuffed clams as an appetizer - we agreed they were the best we'd ever had. I ordered the duck as an entree, it was nothing short of perfect. My wife loved her fish and we wrapped up with their amazing bread pudding. But even more than the great food was the history, ambiance, live music, and especially the way we were treated. It was spectacular. Megan, whom we learned was the manager, greeted us and checked on us often. Her humor and attentivenes
