“We have ordered on DoorDash many times but finally made it in to eat in person. I am ALWAYS satisfied with the food. You guys have ruined salads for me because nothing comes close to the blackened chicken salad anywhere else lol the brisket nachos are top notch and I love the French onion dip with the chips. The inside is what you’d expect from a locally owned bar…it’s homey and feels like the kind of place that has a lot of regulars. Definitely one of our go to meals!“

“I stopped in here early on a Saturday morning before going to a local car dealership to purchase a truck. There weren't many customers in the restaurant yet, so I was seated right away. I ordered the two eggs breakfast with three slices of bacon, home fries and two slices of toast (you have a choice of bread). The food was great, as if it was cooked at home. Service was fast and my waitress topped off my coffee twice before I left. If you're looking for a place to get a nice homestyle breakfast, this is it.“

Since it was lunch I didn't try any cocktails but they sounded delicious.

Would recommend the stinky tator tots.“

“Met my son-in-law for lunch, as we sat outside on the front porch enjoying the day I decided to try the new "Chunky Hunky", their answer to the dearly beloved, and now gone, Joe's Hungarian burger.Was a decent imitation but I feel needs to be refined if it wants to compete head to head. Found it to be a bit "dry" for my taste and could have used a few more onions & shrooms.Ordered fries on the side and they were crispy & plentiful. Our hostess, Amanda, was on spot and pleasant, a true delight.❤️My son in law had the stuffed peppers and the chicken sandwich, both were "DEEELICIOUS", according to him!! I hear the tacos & wings are more reasons to stop at the LaGrange Tavern, guess I need to go back!!!“

“Saw a really nice sunset from our table at this restaurant. We ordered steaks and had some of the fun fancy drinks they offer. The place wasn't terribly busy at the particular time we came, so the service was stellar, our server was very pleasant and she also was thrilled about the sunset, asking us if we had seen it. The steaks were perfectly cooked, the sides were very yummy, and the quantity was enough that we took so home and ended up making two more meals each out of the leftovers. Well worth the money

Wheelchair accessibility: They have an elevator that works smoothly, from the parking lot to the restaurant level.“

“Having some good eats with the family last night. We love that they have exclusive Mountain Dew Dark Berry Bash flavor that one can only get when eating at Applebee’s. For quite some time those Wonton Tacos have been a favorite of mine. Most everyone else opts for a burger & fries to order when we stop by. I do love the mini bite of brownie & ice cream for only $1.99. Perfect when you want a small portion of dessert.

Vegetarian options: They have several options for the vegan in the family.

Parking: Parking located outside the building

Kid-friendliness: Kids have different choices as well…smaller portions too.“
