Nancy and Rita run a fantastic restaurant, they are very warm and inviting! The hot turkey & fries with a side of homemade chicken noodle hit the spot. They added a side of soup to Tiffany’s chicken Caesar. You can tell they put a lot of love into their food. We will come back soon! Thanks ladies!

What great service. Which the convenience of the restaurant and the friendliness of the staff it truly makes the difference in the University Tavern staff and any others in the area. It’s speciality comes from the homeliness of the environment, along with the kindly and friendly attitude of the staff. You can’t go wrong with An excellent meal at the Uniiversity Tavern!

Cheap cold beer served with a smile, pick-it-yourself TV (News, then Sports), and a what-feels-like-home vibe.

Long day tabling in the sun after driving out from TO — beers across the street were 30% more expensive, so I took my chances and was pleasantly surprised. Greeted at the door, asked for a beer and got it in seconds, and was immediately offered a menu and iced water as accompaniment. Got wifi to do work, listened to Aunties and Uncles chatter in the background for a few minutes then locked-in.

I didn't eat, but damn-good prices that kept an eye on my glass. New customer walked-in, owner remembered buddy from the week/day before, thanked them for coming-in prior-to, and set them up with food/drink equally fast.

You want to lock-in and do work? I wasn't bothered save for when my glass neared empty. You want company? Ask about the business and tune into a gem of a story that you didn't know you needed. Different vibe from contemporaneous bars that charge an arm-and-a-leg for a beer or an app, but a needed one that keeps the homies and cousin ready for the next day.

Nancy is super nice, and the food is always good.

Good portions at low cost is also super great for uni students.

Great place to hang out with friends from school. There’s many nice bars around but this one will always have space for you. Owner, Nancy, will treat you like their child and make sure you’re fed. Great place I’d recommend to anyone!
