“We drove from Sandusky, Ohio to have breakfast here. We travel all over for breakfast. price was ok, online says cheaper than what it is when you get there. it is $1.50 extra for the sausage patties. my son loves biscuits and gravy, he tried to take a bite and it had no flavor. my bacon was so over cooked it crumbled. the home fries where hot, but tasted like bland boiled potatoes. and there was something in my food I had no idea what it is. waitress noticed we didn't eat anything except the toast and my husband drank his coffee. the waitress was ok, she did adjust my bill. I ended up paying $25 for 2 pieces of toast and a cup of coffee.“

“After a long day on the interstate, we walked across the parking lot of our hotel to eat at the Charleston, WV location recently. I didn't have high expectations, because some of the reviews weren't the greatest. My dinner was outstanding, and I want everyone to know that! My pork steak was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The green beans and house chips were nicely seasoned and delicious. Ordered apple nachos for dessert, quite good, but next time (and there will be a next time) I will ask them to substitute the pita chips with an extra scoop of vanilla ice cream...“

“LaGrange Tavern Review

LaGrange Tavern is a cozy neighborhood spot with a laid-back atmosphere and solid American pub fare. The menu includes classics like burgers, wings, and sandwiches, often with a creative twist. Drinks are reasonably priced, and the bar has a good selection of beers and cocktails. Service is friendly and efficient. Great for casual nights out, watching a game, or grabbing a bite with friends.“

We asked our server if she could make more but she said it would just come out the same. Please work on making a good pot of coffee to offer your guests. I don’t think we are alone in wanting to enjoy a great cup of coffee with our breakfast. We will definitely visit again. Thank you!“
