the worst place i have ever eaten

by zosoboy at Citysearch

This is the worst value ever. Its great if you like to be ignored , spoke to in a condescending manner, and like to spend alot of money for chicken fingers frozen fries . Nothing is fresh and they even have the gale to say the cobbler is fresh but in reality its a frozen grocery store brand. The owner speaks to you as if you work for him which if you are ever employed by these people you will be treated very badly so im told. All in all i wil tell everyone i see that this place i a big rip off.

  • Pros: good looking waitor
  • Cons: owners are pretentious staff is rude food just so so

upscale prices without the special service

by Duff at Citysearch

Looks nice inside

Good location

Dress code- casual dressy

attitude- pretentious

service- just as good as Long Horns or any chain-nothing to write about.

Prices- self glorified for what is actually served. Too high. Need more sides or quantity would help. In these days of our economy, everyone is looking for the deal or not dining like they used to. Restaurants are having to offer more incentives or throw in a salad or something. The Tavern still thinks its 2004 and should not play this game. The attitude shows in the menu pricing, quantity, and service.

  • Pros: good location
  • Cons: prices dont match the service given or quantity of food

Worst service I've ever received

by shadoa at Citysearch

I went with a group of around 15 for dinner here. The food was good but nothing special. Our waiter confused the checks and when we asked him to correct them he became very rude so we asked to see the manager. While waiting to see the manager (it took him 10 min) another waiter who was helping to clear our table accused one of my party of trying to leave without paying. Since she had already paid Rob (rude waiter #1) and had been waiting for change for around 10 minutes we were a little upset. When Cody the manager finally arrived we had plenty to complain about. He apologized reluctantly and told us that our waiter was very good. He checked on our waiter and brought back change for three of our party. He told us that our waiter would be right back with the rest of our change. After waiting another 20 minutes we asked how much longer. Rob the waiter came back to our table and said "What do you want?" We asked for our change. He asked how much change we were supposed to get then walked off. The manager came back out and gave a couple of people change he wasn't sure of the exact amount of change so he estimated. They still had not brought back my debit card and another persons credit card. He said he had not seen our cards but would look. He returned 15 minutes later and said that he had looked every where and they did not have our cards. He told us to check our table and our bags to see if we had them. I told him the waiter had taken my card and I wanted it back. He promised to check agin. When he returned he assured me he had looked everywhere and that they did not have my card. He was quite short. At this point it had been well over an hour since we had asked for the check and I was very upset. I demanded my card and told him that I would not leave with out it. He came returned after another 15 minutes with our cards. He maid a big production about giving the two of us whose cards they lost our meals free. He then told me he would understand if I never came back.
