A nice funky vibe to the place. They have a patio with a firpit and the service is welcoming. They even had pickle juice for my Jamison drink. Neighborhood joint with hint of "do what you like" whenever you come in. They even have artwork on the wall with my personal favorite the French. Dope!

Food and vibes are generally good. If you're not a regular you are definitely treated differently. Always make a great drink. Love their burgers. Wish their menu had fries.

We found Olde Towne Tavern after searching for a dog friendly establishment and we love it! The staff were all very welcoming and it seemed like there were many local frequent guests. We sat outdoors with the pup and the patio set up was great! There is a big fire pit in the middle so we moved over to sit by the fire after we finished our meals. Can we first talk about the wheat bread that came on the Salmon BLT.... I don't know what it is about that bread but it was absolutely impeccable. It was toasted just right with a slight crispy yet soft texture and the taste was something I can't really put into words. I could probably eat this bread with the creamy mustard all day. They said they get the bread from a baker that delivers it to them... which I will need to ask and find out the details again. Anyways... the salmon was cooked perfectly and the cheeseburger was great as well. We also ordered the spicy chili and italian wedding soup which were both delicious. My only bland experience was the side tavern salad... we couldn't put our fingers on it but the taste was a little off. The portion size was awesome though! The overall experience was great and we are looking forward to coming back again to try our other items on the menu!

Friendly service, and good food! We both ordered the French Dip and it is absolutely one of my favorites. We had not been here since the pandemic and thought it would be nice to walk down the street and have dinner. We tried a half order of the Tavern Nachos with chicken! These things were amazing! Tortilla chips topped with jalapeno, sour cream, queso, homemade guacamole & pico de gallo. Bill overview: *1\2 CHK NACHOS $13 *French Dip (2@$17.00) $34 *Cab Bottle $32 *Subtotal: $79.00 *Tax: $5.93 *Credit Card Fee: $2.55 *Total before tip: $87.48 Warning that they charge a Non-Cash adjustment (surcharge) to any non-cash payment both credit and debit cards! Personal view as a consumer, this and should be factored into to the cost of doing business. I have seen businesses offer a discount with cash payment which comes across a lot better (personal opinion). This is becoming the norm and is a deterrent for me when I see a business that does this. Of course the Tavern's French Dip has been a favorite for years so I'll be back. I recommend the food, and now those chicken nachos are a new favorite as well. Website: theoldetownetavern.com

Olde Towne Tavern is a casual, can't-go-wrong kinda place. Inside the dark wood interior there are high tops and an inviting bar, and out back on the covered patio there are plenty of tables. On both of my visits I ordered food outside, and was pleasantly surprised by the super reasonable prices, good happy hour, and friendly service. This is a perfect neutral spot to have a beer or two and worry less.

I'm afraid to rate this place too high because I don't want the local favorite will get too busy. Food? Amazing. Service? Amazing. Vine? Amazing. Especially fond of the nachos, lasagna and other specials.

Quite the happening place! Came here the day before New Year's Eve with a good size group. We were able to get seating for most of us, although a few people had to stand. Drinks were good and reasonable price. They had a really nice food menu, despite the fact that the operated out of a very small space. I am really amazed by how they produced all that food out of that square footage. We had a wide array of bar type foods... nachos, burgers, sliders... All quite good!

My friends and I came here after a comedy show. The show ended around 9:30 I would say. They had an open kitchen and bar still and there was a great vibe in the restaurant. My friend and I ordered two sandwiches and split them. I got the tavern Turkey and she ordered the Buffalo bill. We both got mac and cheese as a side and a pickle. Honestly, I have no notes. I preferred the Buffalo bill which was surprising for me since I don't tend to gravitate towards Buffalo chicken. It was very good! But the Tavern Turkey was also great and I would definitely get that again. I loved the pickle, but I'm a pickle lover. The Mac and cheese was pretty good too. Overall a great time!

I really enjoyed my time at the Olde Towne Tavern. Our server was amazing too! They have a great happy hour special and an assortment of other fun things to try. My friends got the $5 veggie nachos and their pretzel bites. I ordered their jalapeño grilled cheese with bacon! It hit the spot and I can't wait to go back again!
