11/10. My wife and I went to Wayfarer for new years dinner and it did not disappoint. I would highly recommend ordering some of the dips and snacks and their signature pizzas for the full experience. Our favorites were the marinated beans and the wedge salad but you can’t go wrong with anything you order. We also ordered the Tavern Classic pizza which was cooked perfectly with an unbelievable thin crust. The staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Check them out!

Nick took care of us during a business lunch on Friday and the food, service, vibe, and overall experience were amazing. Henry the GM stopped by the table and checked on us multiple times and was very friendly. Chef Mikey and his kitchen team made us some amazing and inventive pies, exceptional salads, and some great tartare. Overall great experience and can’t wait to go back!

First time there. Could not get reservation but wait list on website worked perfectly. Place has a very tavern feel. Not too loud or overly crowded. Drink options were great, decent wine list. Service was good. Food was great. Ordered wedge salad and pizza. Pizza toppings were creative and delicious. A definite must try!

This was our first time trying a tavern-style pizza. We tried the pickle pizza, and it was okay. I liked the crust, it was crunchy and thin. However, I was a bit disappointed by the portion size given the price. For $14, I would’ve expected a bigger bowl of the Fall salad! The pizza could have been larger for the price as well.

The servers and bartenders were super friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. My friends and I also loved the atmosphere—it has such a fun, relaxed vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. If you’re looking for amazing pizza, great service, and a cool spot to hang out in Dayton, KY, Wayfarer Tavern is the place to go!
