Brown Barn Tavern

Very cozy little restaurant located in a small strip plaza. Great wait staff. The coffee was outstanding and the food did not disappoint. My wife had biscuits and gravy with crispy potatoes and bacon. I had the goetta with eggs and rye toast. When they say crispy potatoes, they mean crispy. And the goetta was both plentiful and flavorful. We will be back very very soon.

Came here on our roadtrip and it was delicious. Friendly hostess and waitress. Glad we stopped by!read more

They have a great patio out back to enjoy your meal if the weather is nice. But you'll pay half the price for a breakfast sandwich here than you will your average restaurant and it will be at least twice as good as your average restaurant. I won't miss this place any time I'm back in the area.

For a gluten free version we had the fried green tomatoes on a separate plate. They were kind enough to put the yolk spread in a cup for the tomatoes as well. Nice touch. Love these deviled eggs. Big fan. I did share the full rack of their amazing ribs with my son and we ordered an extra side of their unique baked beans. Their sauce is so far from the basic!! The spices and red peppers were a great addition. I'm also a big fan of sweet potato fries. Can never get enough. We also had a member of our family request a mock tail and the bartender came to the table to help make a spectacular tequilaless sunrise selection.

The whiskey tasters and homemade cocktails were absolutely awesome as well, and I can't wait to try another. We were all satisfied with our food, but the biggest disappointment were the sides. Looking at other pictures, and trying our "Fresh Cut Fries," we immediately knew that ours were from a frozen bag of generic fries when compared to the beautifully cooked homemade ones. The macaroni and cheese was also bland and not a table favorite. Aside from that, we loved the brisket sandwich, BLT, and the turkey wrap. Overall, the service is fine, our waitress was nice and the bartender rushed over to greet us when we walked in.

Had an option for soup (chicken noodle) or fries. Server said their fries were really good so I went that route. Food came out incredibly fast. The wrap was stuffed and really, really good.

Not a fan, though they were hot as Hades, which almost pushed this to a 5 star review, but at the end of the day, they were still battered. Fresh cut would have been sooo much better. Needless to say, the place appears to be more of a breakfast joint than lunch (they are open 7a-2p). Will make it a point to try breakfast next time I go across the street for a haircut.

Brown barn has excellent appetizers and food! We typically order the barn barrels which are like big tator tots with bacon and cheese on top. Their soft pretzel and their nachos are also very good! The pulled pork on top of the nachos is one of the best pulled pork I have every tried. Their burgers are great and are very juicy. Their chicken sandwich is also very good and the chicken is good quality. Lastly their fries and sweet potato fries are amazing especially with their ranch. The service is always great and everyone is super friendly. The first time I went here it was my birthday and the manager was extremely generous and gave everyone free drinks and a free appetizer! I highly recommend brown barn tavern! read more

Haven't even been to the restaurant yet and I'm already disgusted. When my husband called today, to make reservations for this Saturday to celebrate our two daughters' birthdays, the person on the other end of the phone was so condescending, if I'd made the call I would have asked for the manager. If it were up to me I'd make reservations elsewhere, and they would lose a chunk of change with a party of nine. But my husband is a better man, he wants to give them a chance, so we will see how the evening goes. If I were manager that kid would no longer have a job, that is no way to treat people. read more

Honestly, it's an excellent restaurant. When we entered we were greeted by Bill who was extremely friendly and inviting. We were sat in the location that we asked for. The service was perfect. The manager of the restaurant approached our table and spoke about the history of the restaurant (we asked). We were provided a champagne toast. The food was great. The drinks were great (get the Bloody Mary). Overall, it was a great experience. 110%. Highly recommend. read more
