The OV Beach Tavern

The second time we have been here. The breakfast burger is so amazing. We opt for fruit instead of the fries. We tried to the Greek yogurt jar. Phenomenal!! Service is always amazing. The waitress on Sunday is so friendly. Highly recommend this spot for brunch and cocktails.

Cute spot right off Ocean View Ave! The weather was perfect, so we grabbed a table outside. Our server was not only super friendly and helpful with the menu, but she also shared some great local tips. Turns out she’s the yoga instructor in the building next door, too. The star of the night? The Lumpia Pickled Pepper Poppers. Crispy, creamy, and just the right amount of spicy, absolutely delicious! We also noticed the outdoor dining area seemed dog-friendly, which is always a plus. We had a great people-watching perch and loved seeing the mix of folks who came through. The diversity of the crowd added to the warm, welcoming vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

The seasoning on the fried pickles was awesome, just not as crunchy as it appears. No bad just a preference. The Surf & Turf was excellent absolutely impressed with the flavor of the burger. Now the reason for the stars. We ordered drinks, shortly after deliberation we ordered the appetizer with the main meals. Even with this time, the appetizer still made it to the table first. More than 15 mins. The waitress did apologize, so it not so bad, but considering it was not busy, you could expect longer delays.

We have been going to OV Tavern on Sundays for brunch and football and HIGHLY recommend it! Such a fun, neighborhood bar & grill. They have a weekly “hype man” I guess you’d call him. He does contests and NFL trivia while watching the games. The food is great, they have a great brunch menu they serve Sundays til 1, but the standard menu is great too. Our server Loni is phenomenal and we try to sit where she can serve us every week. Can’t say enough positive things about OV Tavern. From food to service to football, they hit on all of it!

Good atmosphere for Saturday lunch. Fried pickles were excellent, smash burgers were good, blackened chicken sandwich was dry but ok. I'll be back Update 8/2/25: I said I would be back so here goes, the food was still ok, no real complaints. On the other hand, the lemonade and tea have to be made with tap water or unclean glasses because they had a funny taste so order soda. Waited a while for a server that must have forgotten us after the drinks came and a second server took the food order. The lady beside me didn't get her tater tots until she was almost finished with her burger. I'm seeing why it wasn't crowded on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I hope this is taken as constructive criticism but unfortunately I'm changing my stars. No fried pickles until after brunch 😞
