Friday evening, July 21, 7pm. Bar area. Food was just mediocre, service was slow. Not at all what is the norm at this place. Have to reconsider making this a place to go. Really bad experience. read more

Excellent food and service to match. Specials of the day are priced for a great deal.

We arrived at 7 pm on our tour bus. 2 other tour buses were just pulling out. I guess they were over worked tonight. We were only given a select few things to order. I choose the rib eye. I asked what size and the waiter said 8 oz. But I could only get it cooked medium, not MR, or rare like I usually get it. I was told it would have no pink inside. Well dang, that's not how to cook a good steak. Luckily it did have a little pink. I guess the cook staff don't want to be bothered by different ordered steaks like most places. The salads came first and they all had ranch dressing. I don't even like ranch. We were not given a choice at all about the dressing. The two sides were mashed potatoes and green beens. They were just ok and nothing to write home about. We were given a choice of desert between blue berry cobbler and a brownie . The two deserts were good but they were so small I could eat it in prolly 4 bites. I wasnt too happy about the choices we were given or some not even at all (dressing). One of the waiters seemed kinda short with us and had a attitude going on. I guess he had too many old people giving him grief tonight. Overall I was disappointed since we drove 30 miles to eat here. I'm sure it would be an ok place to eat most of the time, but not worth going out of your way. Prices are too high and portions too small. read more

I am a big fan of the Greyhound Tavern Fantastic food ( best chicken salad of any place i have ever been) Everything on the menu is fantastic, Clearly my favorite resturant, I love the atmosphere, the old style decor its simply charming. Cant recommend just one item from menu, because its all great. read more

Usually I am a big fan of Greyhound Tavern but when my husband and I took my Father-in-law there for brunch on Father's Day, the disappointment started with waiting 90 minutes for a table even though we had a reservation. We saw several tables seated who arrived after us. When I overheard the host tell a group that had come in later than us and had a noon reservation when we had an 11am reservation that they would be seated in just a few minutes, I finally stopped being quite so patient and commented on it to my husband loudly enough for the host to hear. Then he stopped ignoring us and found a table not long after. Service was then so slow that my father-in-law stood up and refilled his own coffee from the pot a waitress had set down nearby. The fried chicken was delicious, as usual, but the bacon on the buffet was anything but crispy, looking almost raw. They clearly over-booked for the holiday and could not keep up. My four star rating is based on many visits. This visit was a 2 star experience at best for a usually 5 star restaurant. read more

I ate at this establishment for the first time last night. I ordered the family style fried chicken. This came with 3 pieces of TO DIE FOR chicken (per person), mashed potatoes & gravy, coleslaw, green beans, and biscuits. I was not disappointed with any of the food, right down to the little packets of sweet butter that came out with the biscuits. The service was outstanding. Our server took the time to talk with us and gave us some history about the Tavern. I can guarantee I will be eating here again. I will also highly recommend this place to anyone that will listen! :-) read more

This is without a doubt one of the best go to local restaurants in the area . They have a varied menu from steaks to burgers. Their onion rings are to die for and a meal in themselves. Their bean soup is excellent. I love their Kentucky Hot Brown. I have never had a bad meal there. read more

Had Mother's Day brunch here and was impressed with the food selection!

The service was fantastic. The food was just okay. My husband had the fried chicken which he loved! Thought it was the best fried chicken he ever had. I had the pecan encrusted chicken and it was small and loaded with sugar (the sweet potato purée tasted like pie and the Carmel sauce was overwhelming) so very one note in flavor. If I go again I'll have the fried chicken. read more

Cold food, bad service, overall awful. The food took forever to come to the table even after several requests asking the server and manager where our food was. When the food finally came out everything that was supposed to be hot was cold. We made the server and manager aware and nothing was done. We will never ever come back. This was a waste of time and money. read more

I have been here numerous times in the past, the food and service have always been top notch, so I was really looking forward to going again tonight. The food is still good, but the service was terrible. I was so disappointed. I ordered a drink and we were at a large table so I was not surprised when I did not get it on the waiter's first trip back to the table. Upon his second trip I still didn't get it and had to get up and go to his station to ask for my drink. This was just the beginning of forgotten items at our table. read more

I've been here half a dozen times in the past couple years, and always got the impression it was a hamburger joint trying to pose as fine dining. Food has been average, prices are high for the quality. Had an experience this weekend that solidified my impression. I was there with a small group for a birthday dinner. We had asked for a quiet table for a surprise birthday dinner, (and because the birthday girl is hard of hearing) and they put us in the loudest room imaginable. Wood floors, wood chairs, wood walls - where every sound seemed to echo and amplify. Most of us got there early, and the birthday girl was brought by one of our party. Even though the restaurant was told this was a surprise party, the hostess commented "party of 8" when the birthday girl was greeted at the door. Surprise blown before she reached the table. My wife and I ordered the NY Strip - mine medium rare, hers medium well - we even discussed it with the waitress - a little bit of pink throughout on medium well. Another person at the table ordered a filet well done. (I know, I know, but that's how they like them.) My steak was served, and it was cooked perfectly, the individual with the petite got hers and it was cooked medium, but she didn't want to send it back. My wife's was well done. This happens occasionally, so no big deal, but it was not what she ordered, so I let the waitress know. First, the waitress tried to inspect the steak and give us her thoughts and convince us the dry, brown meat was medium well. She reluctantly took the plate back to the kitchen. Shortly after, she brought the steak back, now cut in half, and said the chef said he/she would not recook a steak, because they cut into the middle of it, and there was some pink. There may have been, but 90% of it was overcooked. I was more astounded however, that a so called chef would do such a thing. The waitress offered to take it back again, but after this unacceptable and unprofessional response, I was honestly afraid of what they might do to a new steak. Eventually, the manager came to the table, apologized and took it off the check. Nice, and appropriate gesture, but too late. No professional chef who is interested in keeping a customer, and not losing others, would send a steak back to the table in that situation. Needless to say, I would not recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or any occasion for that matter. I was recently at Gibsons in Chicago - granted, a completely different level of restaurant. I ordered my NY medium rare...I cut into it, and it was all the way medium. The waitress happened to see it, and immediately came back to the table and TOLD ME she was going to have it recooked. She brought another steak perfectly cooked. The manager came over and apologized. They took the steak off the check AND brought us out a comped bowl of fresh berries (not on the menu - and the waitress had heard us say we were cutting carbs) for dessert. Now that's how you keep customers. read more

We have been to the Greyhound several times for Saturday and Sunday brunches. They were excellent. We had invited friends to dine there with us last night. The servcie was excellent. The waiter was very professional and friendly. My wife and our friends all liked the food. I ordered last night's special, Prime Rib. Without question, this was the worst Prime Rib I have ever encountered. I expect some marbling. This rib had excessive marbling and the rest of the meat was tough and grizzled. Our waiter returned and asked my wife and our friends if their food was good. They responded with yes. He did not ask me how the rib was. I suspect he already knew the answer. As I had asked our friends to come down from west Ohio to try this restaurant, I did not return the meal or make an issue about it. As this was "The Special", the price was not on the menu. The cost was $29 for the rib dinner. I would have ordered it anyway. However, for that price I would have expected a fine quality of meat. My Ceasar salad was excellent as were the cheese stick appetizers. I asked for a box to take home the remaining 90% of my prime rib and gave it to our dog. Even he struggled chewing some of the meat. I will not be returning to the Greyhound. I would have expected, at least a "recommendation" from our server to try another dish rather than the prime rib. Had it been just the wife and I dining I would have returned the steak as inedible. read more

Made reservation for seven and was seated at seven eighteen with no apology. Was slow to get drinks and order taken. Hot meals arrived cold. Waitress pleasant but overworked. It appears if you are not a regular the staff is not interested in your dining pleasure. read more

The Greyhound's Sunday brunch was a good deal when it was $15, way back when, but now that it's $26+, I'm not so sure. We went on Father's Day. Our 11 a.m. reservation wasn't honored until 11:40. The fried chicken is still really good, and the mashed potatoes are real. Most of the other selections are just average. The big disappointment was the prime rib -- way overcooked, gray and chewy. The food overall is decent, but at $26 I expect a lot better. I won't be back on my own dime. read more

Ate lunch today with a friend. We both ordered chicken taco salads. Thought it was tasty. Got to bottom of brown and saw a large live centipede. Needless to say I will never eat there again. read more

In years past this was a stand out place with excellent food and service. Today its a bit different. The bean soup for example Butches own recipe is not consistent, the beans are always hard and tough. The quantity and quality of food varies. One visit and the food will be great, come back a couple weeks later and order the same thing and the preparation, presentation as well as taste my be totally different The family style chicken dinner for example is usually one of the best around however, go after 7:30pm and the rush and the chicken sometimes, looks and tastes like it was put back in the fryer to reheat. This place seems to be riding on its past reputation and aging customer base. This may change if more consistency is not put into their food preparation and service not to mention well needed change in menu and atmosphere. read more

The 1st time I ate here I had the famous Fish sandwich - it was good. My friend recommended the Hot Slaw - it was OK but the hog jowl "bacon" kind of grossed me out to think about. This 2nd time I had the famous fried chicken. I don't usually eat fried food - for health reasons, but I tried this on another friend's recommendation - it also was good but then most fried foods TASTE good. It was also very juicy. For $16.50 I got a chicken breast, thigh, leg, and wing plus 2 sides. I tried the mashed potatoes - I asked if they were made from "potato flakes" OR from real, cooked on site potatoes & I was told they were real - they tasted real to me. I didn't get gravy on them - health reasons again. I ordered their famous onion rings and they were fantastic - 4 huge onion rings battered & fried to perfection! I only ate 1 and took the rest plus 2 pcs. chicken home to hubby. Personally, when it is MY choice, I will stick with my long time favorite, classy restaurant (Grand Finale) that has more & better food for my money. This time I was with a group of about 20 women. Our waiter was a very nice young man who seemed new to the restaurant & made some errors (he didn't even ask if we wanted to order dessert, etc), but he kept his cool with all of us and did his best. It was a lot for him to handle! Finally they sent another waiter over to help. read more

Pleasant enough, service was fine, looks like it was THE place to eat probably 30 years ago with a "George Washington ate here" vibe and decor. Food was average with the exception of the fried green tomatoes, onion rings and the chicken salad. while the chicken salad was full of big pieces of chicken it was also full of bland cheap tasting mayo and a few pieces of green stuff...no taste at all. The fruit and muffin that came with it was delicious. Our party ordered two appetizers for the table, the onion rings ( Gigantic breaded rings that looked very good but had zero taste and awfully greasy) and the wonderful fried green tomatoes (Excellent mousse and presentation). The other 4 people in our party had meals that they were mostly pleased with. Prices seemed a bit steep for the quality of the food, almost an up-scale-bland-for the elderly-type food. All in all we had a nice visit but it's not going to be on the list of top 10 places to pick from again. read more

Decent Fried chicken and lots of grand parents can both be found here, however the prices exceed the quality of the experience. Time for this place to upgrade both the menu, and decor. read more

I don't care if the decor skews to a bygone era, this place has the greatest ever, ever fried chicken ever. The deserts and sides are really good too, but the chicken in so bomb that I can't even comment on that. They do have a full bar with a good bourbon selection. BTW, did I mention that the friend chicken is really, really good? IT IS!!! read more

This review is for the Saturday brunch. Greyhound has been a place we've enjoyed for dinner so I was excited to try their new Saturday brunch. Hate to say how disappointed I was with what I ordered. The pecan waffle with fresh strawberries and blueberries was mediocre. It did not come with fresh blueberries and strawberries but with the tiniest plastic cup of mushy mixed fruit. The maple butter was rock hard and was difficult to get to melt. I was also disappointed to be served maple flavored syrup in a individual package - the same kind McDonald's uses. I really expected real maple syrup. My husband did enjoy the breakfast brown. How these two meals came out of the same kitchen is baffling. The service was slow and inattentive. My husband had to hunt down creamer for my coffee and refills for the tiny little cup was slow to come. Come on Greyhound I know you are better than this! read more

Worst food that I have ever had in any restaurant. Everything was ice cold & very pricey. The server was nice but that is the only positive part of my experience there. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I will also never return to this establishment. read more

The food is good,but the prices are really high.everybody ordered the Prime Rib.I would have but the price was way to high.

When we pulled into the parking lot, my first thought was, "this place looks like a funeral home." We ordered our food and the appetizers came out fairly quickly. We sat there for what felt like 2 hours waiting on our food and the tables next to us were receiving their food before us even though they had ordered after us. After over an hour of waiting, our food finally came out. My girlfriend ordered a taco salad with chicken and they gave her beef instead. Frustrated with the waiting time she decided to just eat the beef and not wait on them to remake it, it would have probably taken them another hour to make it. The food was mediocre, nothing special was on their menu. Save yourself some time and money and go somewhere else..... Anywhere else. read more

A real treat for the last forty years....consistent ly great food and atmosphere...recommend the hot brown and fried chicken and fish. Excellent staff and service. Easy access and parking for handicaped customers. Looking forward to returning soon. read more

Arrived around 6:00 and ordered around 6:15 and waited an hour for food. Table behind us arrived 25 minutes after us and had their dinner finished when our food came. Manager gave excuses that they were busy and they couldn't put our order ahead of others, even tho we never asked for that to happen. He offered ice tea as a consolation prize which was silly. Promised our food would be out soon and we waited 10 more minutes. Apparently their business is so good they didn't care about our bad experience. Left at 7:50 pm. Cannot recommend at all. read more

Our family took our mom to the Greyhound Tavern for her 88th birthday on 08/31/2014. Let me say that I was less than impressed. We had reservations at 5:00 for 10. We still waited for 45 minutes. Once we ordered, things seems to be going well until the food came out. Our mom ordered the Walleye Pike and requested that it be broiled. I confirmed with the server that she wanted it broiled. I was told "no problem". When it cake out, it was deep fried. A sister ordered a pasta dish that was supposed to have mushrooms & tomatoes in the dish. The dish arrived with a total of 4 button mushrooms and no tomato whatsoever. The mushrooms were from a can. A sister in law ordered the Salmon Salad. Although it looked nice, the salmon was still raw in the middle. A brother and his son ordered the fried chicken & loved it. I personally ordered the single pork chop. Although cooked well, the chop was the thickness of the pork that is put on a pork sandwich. It was approximately 1/4 " thick. For the prices charged, the meals were a very big disappointment. My final opinion on this or any dining establishment is always based on the following. Regardless of the price or service, was the food good enough to come back & dine again. In this case the answer is, absolutely not. read more

We always get the best treatment and best food ever! All the servers are feet, but Joe is my main man!

I tried to eat at Greyhound Tavern tonight. The server was very friendly. The menu had a listing for a biggie burger. It was listed as a large double decker burger. When it arrived the burger was not visible under the bun. I lifted the bun and found two patties so small the they were completely covered by the two pickles! I asked the waitress if it looked like a biggie burger and she agreed that it was indeed really small. She took it back and when she came back she said she was yelled at for returning it because the size was correct and indeed this was the BIGGIE Burger! I told her to take it back that it was not worth eating. She asked if I would like to order anything else. The manager then came to the table to infirm me that I was wrong and the Biggie burger was indeed this size! I told him he needed to rename the biggie burger a double slider. The rest of the food was good but don't expect anything approaching a normal burger or customer service from this place! read more

My husband and I thought we would finally have dinner at the Greyhound Tavern tonight which we now regret! We sat down and it took our waitress a good ten minutes to come greet us. We placed our order and it took another ten minutes just to get our iced teas! My husband got the lobster bisque and then we got onion rings both were good. We saw our waitress a total of three times the whole visit. My husband was given a stirring coffee spoon to eat his lobster bisque! Our meals finally came and our waitress my pasta had chicken on it which I am a vegetarian and it doesn't come with chicken. This was sent back to be fixed. My husband ordered the filet with mashed potatoes and steamed mushrooms. The mushrooms were rubber and were completely black! They were disgusting. His whole meal was ice cold. The sauce for his steak never came out so it took a good ten minutes for our waitress to come back so you could ask for the sauce and a steak knife(which she told us she wasn't sure if they had any because they were dirty,really?). It was an absolute awful meal and awful service. The manager was nice enough to come to our table so he could correct everything but by that point we were turned off by the whole place. For a $27 filet meal I would expect more than canned mushrooms and cold tough filet. We will definitely not return to this restaurant! read more

I went to the GT last night for the first time with my husband, two children and our nanny. My husband and I are 36 years old. We received a gift card and that is why we went. We arrived around 530 on a Friday night. There appeared to be 3 large rooms. The rooms were about half full. There was no other diners in our age group that I could see. We were seated quickly by a nice person from the front desk. Our waiter was very slow in showing up. By the time he came, my husband asked a question regarding the ingredients of a sauce that he didn't know the answer to. He left for about 30 minutes. When we put the order in finally, the food arrived a long time later. I ordered a chicken cesar salad, priced at around 8 dollars, which I think is a good price. However, I have not seen a Cesar salad with tomatoes, mushrooms and onions before. It was odd. My husband ordered a burger that smelled awesome. We finished eating and a bill was dropped off at our table with no comment after a long wait even though we wanted to order a dessert. I eventually got the waiter back and ordered the dessert to go, but added that we were in a hurry. The waiter became ANGRY. I couldn't believe it. He stomped away from me and then returned tossing the bag on the table. He did not change the bill. I had to hunt him down to ask the bill price since the dessert menu did not list the prices. He then had to ASK the prices himself. This took forever. Finally he came back, told me the prices of the desserts and then did some math without giving us an actual bill. Now, I am 9 months pregnant. Yes, I.am tired, I'm irritable and we had our 4 year old and 2 year old with us. This is now 830. I wanted to cry or scream. In summary, the food was cheap, not the most delicious, but edible. The other customers made me feel like we were eating in a nursing home dining hall. I'm sorry, but this is how we felt. The decor was similarly dated. The service unfortunately was the nail in the coffin of our visit. Even if we were given another gift card, we would not go back. I would not recommend this place to anyone under the age of 50, either. read more
