Good restaurant on Church Street. Nothing fancy - good menu that will appeal to everyone in your party. Service was good. Great people watching if you sit outside.

Wings (mostly drumsticks) were large, tender and tasty. Tavern burger and chicken teriyaki Philly were both great. French onion soup hit the spot.

My wife and I haven't been here for awhile, so we took advantage of being in the area to stop in for lunch mid-week. Despite only one waitress, service was excellent and fast. I had a burger which was delicious, nicely seasoned and juicy. But the star of the meal was the french fries. These may be the absolute best fries in the area! Perfectly seasoned and cooked. Crispy on outside and perfect on the inside. I'd go back just for the fries. My wife had a bowl of chili which she loved as well.

We were in Burlington for parents weekend and there were several graduations going on so Church Street was quite busy. We asked how long the wait would be and we were told 30 minutes. No big deal. Well, we ended up getting seated within 5 minutes! I think they opened up the area upstairs especially for my wife and I — so that was nice, as the first floor level was quite crowded (and it was too chilly for us to sit outside). Upstairs was nice and we were right by the window overlooking Church Street so that was fun. Our server was very nice. My wife had the Rueben Sandwich and I had the French Onion Soup and a Cheesesteak with a side of Cole Slaw. (It may have come with fries, but I think I asked for the cole slaw). My wife enjoyed her Rueben and I thought the soup was one of the best French Onion Soups I've had in a long time. The cheese AND the broth was delicious ... not just the cheese! The cheesesteak and coleslaw was also great. I would definitely go back ... and it was a nice surprised that we were seated so quickly.

My family and I enjoyed the food here and the prices were reasonable for the location. I had a burger and it was cooked well. Particularly good we’re the crispy tater tots I had with it. My daughter enjoyed her veggie burger and my wife ordered the teriyaki chicken cheesesteak which she also enjoyed. There was nothing mind blowing but it was good food and good service at a reasonable cost.

We had a really nice lunch here of sandwiches and drinks at a high top table. (It was raining, so we didn't sit outside.) The staff were clearly overworked but super-friendly and helpful--they made our meal special.

Good bar but i dont like the live band on mondays.... just really loud and cant talk to your friends. Just kinda noise sometimes they play good stuff but most of the time its just them messing around playing random jazzy stuff or something. I rather have a playlist or no music played ? i cant dance to anything they play ? they also play the same stuff over and over .... i love the bartnder lady shes amazing and the boncer is awesome just not the band ....

I would like this bar better if they had a better DJ. I am constantly disappointed when I come here because I don't know most of the songs played. The staff is good and the floor is clean, but after a certain time if night, the music is not for me at all.

I've always been a fan, great drinks, great location, no cover charge. Seating downstairs is just about never crowded, male urnal upstairs, unisex bathroom downstairs; 5/5.

Owners are shady, drinks are overpriced, and more often than not the bartenders are unfriendly.
