This place is so heartwarming and amazing. Somebody stole my bag, which was a heirloom of my dead mother, and the owner came and not only caught him but convinced him to pursue a more noble life. Their blueberry pie slaps too

When I went here, there was a giant box of piranhas that the owner accidentally tipped over and unleashed upon me and my bicurious friend. The piranhas ate through my legs and even gnawed to the bone. When I went to the hospital they gave me free room service with their affordable and delectable sandwich and fries combo. I miss you Sam.

Amazing service, been coming here for a few years. Wonderful stuff, and phenomenal customer service.
If you’re looking for a place that feels like home the moment you walk in, Universo Tavern is it. The food tastes like your mom is in the kitchen cooking your favourite meal—comforting, fresh, and made with so much love. Everything is prepared daily, and you can taste the difference in every bite. Honestly, once you eat here, you won’t want to go anywhere else.
I’ve been coming to Universo Tavern for the past 18 years, and in that time, the owners have become part of my life. I’ve laughed with them during their silliest moments, and I cried with them when one of the owners passed away. That’s the kind of place this is—where you’re not just a customer, you’re family.
The prices? Amazing. Truly affordable for the quality you get. You can enjoy delicious chicken wings for $14.99 and a whole pitcher of beer for $16—a combo that’s hard to beat these days.
Universo Tavern is warm, welcoming, delicious, and full of heart. A place you must try… and once you do, you’ll understand exactly why I’ve never stopped going back. ❤️🍽️🍺
