We are determined to try every easton restaurant (doing pretty well!) and our opportunity for Bannings came when we had Avalon tix for a show next door. Food was good, service was timely and there seemed to be enough servers and bartenders (hard to find that lately) to keep everyone happy. Loved my chicken pie even tho the puff top came out a few minutes after the filling but I'm not annoyed by things like that. Especially when the server recognized how funnily awkward it was along with apologizing and explaining it was an oven issue. Good all around and will return! I want to try the sandwiches and wished I could've ordered from the lunch menu. I didn't ask so that's on me.

Always excellent food. Even though the Tavern was shortstaffed on a Busy Saturday night with only one server, the bartender and hostess helped out and collectively they did very well. We've eaten here many times and the food is consistently excellent. We'll be back!

Good food, good service. We love Bannings. Steve (the owner), as well as the servers & bartender always make us feel welcome. Everything on the menu is really good--we've yet to have a bad appetizer, dinner, or dessert.

The whole place just feels dirty. I felt like I was on an episode of kitchen nightmares. At the end of our meal I overhead the bartender say “We have all of this food rotting in the fridge” to the waitress.

The owner welcomed us when we arrived. Menu is not overwhelming but diverse. Food was very good, drinks were good, atmosphere was great. Food is reasonably priced.

Rated only 4 stars because of high noise level. It's a neighborhood pub essentially. The prime rib was reasonable and done just right.

Our meals were completely tasteless. The only positive was a very pleasant, attentive server.

What happened???? The 2 servers had no clue. I got a bowl of clam chowder, which I always get. There were 2 of us. I got 1 spoon and no oyster crackers- which always come with the soup. Took asking both waitresses to get some stale crackers. Got a burger, very good, which comes with fries - no ketchup brought, and a pickle....no pickle. Other diner got a turkey club....no mayo on it or on side. Had to ask 2 times for ketchup, mayo and pickle. By then almost done lunch. Waitress kept saying I gotcha- but she didn't. Heard a lot of harrumphing - diners shouldn't hear it

The food, the drinks, the helpful employees, the understated elegance of the restaurant all contribute to a great dining experience in Easton, MD. The sea food was fresh and wonderfully prepared, the steaks were delicious and cooked perfectly (we had a large crowd). If you're on the eastern shore, or visiting as we were, take an evening and go enjoy a great time at Banning's Tavern in Easton, MD.
Really great food and service. I've heard they have the best burger in town but we haven't tried one yet. The short ribs and rockfish were amazing.

The owner or manager weirdly undermines his staff. He came over to our table excessively to ask if our server was doing a good job. Honestly seemed like he was fishing for complaints.Servers were rocking it given that the place was short-staffed.

Again, it was fantastic. You need to go here for the dinner service. Cuts of meat very fresh as owner is a butcher. The seafood if fresh and the drinks are refreshing. So happy the pandemic didn't claim this awesome place!

We enjoyed an early dinner seated outside. Staff was super friendly. Signature drinks were fantastic and creative. Will definitely return.

Looked for a place with unique beer (for hubby). Excellent food. Great atmosphere. You could tell it was a locals' hangout., which is a plus in my book. Fast, efficient service. We will return. Worth the little detour off the highway!!!!
