Food came out pretty quickly, less than 10 min. Our waitress was very kind and fast! The pricing is affordable and the portions are huge! We had plenty of leftovers. The vibe was relaxed. Will definitely return again.“

“Just had the best meal! Food was AMAZING and the service was outstanding. We got the cauliflower bites appetizer and it was so flavorful I could have eaten it for my main dish. My husband got chicken parmesan (it was a huge portion and the breading was phenomenal). My mother got chicken picatta, so tender. My meal (avocado and chicken flatbread) came literally 2 minutes after theirs, they apologized and gave it for free. They did not need to, it was only two minutes and it was worth the wait😋. We put the free meal into the tip and the waitress tried to refuse saying the tip was too much. Absolutely not, the food and the service justified it! We live in Elyria and I will be recommending Burntwood Tavern to anyone who asks for referrals! Thanks for a great Easter meal!!!“
