    We came here on our way to go canoeing, came with my extended family. At first, it took us a while to get in, but when we did, it was amazing. The food was very filling, especially the waffles and omelettes. The interior was awesome, there's a ton of funny signs, drawings, and many other fun things. We had a great time.

    Went here to enjoy a nice home-cooked style breakfast, was disappointed. The eggs were undercooked, the biscuits tasted canned and not cooked all the way, still tasted dough. The gravy was bland and again, tasted like it was from a can. The bacon was good (it's bacon, never had any bad before) the pancake was overdone. On top of that I looked at their website to see prices. Said 4.95, it was 8.95. I'm sorry but $55 (left $5) tip for 4 people to have breakfast and a drink it's ridiculous, then to have it taste bad. Will not return

    SO GOOD! Best breakfast food around. We go every morning we're in or around West Jefferson. The staff and food are great. You can beat the prices either. The old timer breakfast is the way to go. You get a little bit of everything.

    This is a super cute place! The decor is amazing! I was extremely impressed by the service of every single worker in this establishment. They were always helping each other out, getting food out quickly, cleaning off tables quickly, and checking on every single patron there. The other customers were also super sweet as one gentleman moved tables so that our larger party could have a place to sit. The food was extremely fresh! Every single item was great! There are so many more dishes that I can't wait to try out when I come back to this place. If you are visiting West Jefferson North Carolina, you have to go visit this place for breakfast or for lunch!

    If you are looking for a great country breakfast, this is the place. Anytime we are in area hiking, we try to swing by to grab some breakfast. Had 2 eggs over medium, 2 sausage patties that are a little spicy and I like that. Two huge biscuits and gravy. Gravy tastes homemade and not from some mix. Service was great and the value you get here is crazy. Love this place.

    We love this place!! We ate here every day we were in West Jefferson. It's great because we woke up as we felt like it and never missed breakfast; they serve it all day! I love their grits, and the omelet was delicious. But the best part about the place is the people. Not only is the wait staff the best, our server always remembered I wanted decaf as soon as I walked in. The patrons are equally delightful! One man spoke to another about his breakfast order, then overheard his wife had recently been in the hospital and came over to make sure she was alright. The atmosphere has all the charm of a true small mountain town. Our service was very fast despite the crowd but the staff never seemed rushed. We plan to eat here every time we're in West Jefferson. It's the homiest place we've ever been and we won't forget it!!

    Totally turned off that it was not clearly visible on the menu that there is a difference for cash vs credit.

    I really wanted to love this place but it was truly just okay. Was totally put off that the charges vary for cash versus credit. The fact that I work for a financial institution makes me rethink the logic but I digress. Breakfast was simply just okay.

    I bet the only spot in West Jefferson that gets more foot traffic than Town Tavern is the Walmart…read more Seriously, this place didn't seem to slow down during our stay in town. Anything that draws people into small towns to keep them energized is a good thing, I think. Things were a bit loud inside, and the weather was nice when we visited, so we took seats out between the sidewalk and street. The hostesses were a bit disorganized though, as they seemed to be working against one another; one cleared a table for us but then her colleague offered it to other patrons, and then the pair of staff members tried sending us to two different tables at the same time. We were able to order quickly, thankfully, but there was some delay in actually getting the food, and then we didn't see much of our waitress until it was time to pay. Was she just inattentive or was this a reflection of the staff being overworked? It's hard to say. The consensus about the food was that it was of reasonable value but only of moderate quality. The house salad was quite large but was made up largely of lettuce stalk material, and many of the other components were chopped to a miniscule level that made them relatively tasteless and undetectable. Reuben sandwiches contained a fair portion of meat and cheese but were a bit dry as only a tiny bit of dressing was present. It would seem that the draw here might be more about the adult beverages, or so it appeared amongst our neighboring tables, though none of our party chose to go that route. So on the basis of food quality alone, I'd say this is a welcome option versus fast food but certainly nothing to make a special trip for.

    We've visited this restaurant twice in the last month. If we were rating the food alone, it's a…read moresolid four stars--maybe even five for simple, well-done bar food. Unfortunately, the service brings our overall rating down to three stars. After our first visit, we thought the rudeness we encountered might have just been a fluke, so we gave it another try about four weeks later. Sadly, it wasn't. Both times, the hostess seemed visibly annoyed to seat us, as if helping customers was a burden. On our second visit, we didn't even bother with a table--we sat at the bar. Unfortunately, the servers on both occasions carried the same attitude, acting as though serving us was an inconvenience. The worst moment came when my wife asked the bartender a simple question: which sauce he preferred between two options. He actually laughed in her face, rolled his eyes, and replied with a snarky tone, "We make one in-house and the other is store-bought." She had to call him out by saying, "What's so funny? I don't work here, how would I know that?" Only then did his attitude shift, and while he became friendlier afterward, the first impression was already made. It's a shame, because the food is genuinely good. On our first visit, we had an Italian sandwich, a burger, and some boneless wings--all excellent. On our second visit, we liked the wings so much that we each ordered them again, trying several flavors. The only miss were the pub chips--nothing special there. Overall, if you're willing to risk unfriendly service, the food is worth trying. Maybe you'll catch the staff on a better day. To those about to dine--good luck!

I have no notes, this was a classic burger: I loved the hint of spice from pepperjack, the sweet contrast from the pineapple, and the patty was perfectly cooked. The pub chips were well-seasoned and crispy. The iced tea had just the right amount of sugar, and was very refreshing. The ambiance is fine: a bit dim inside, but there's also outside seating. Service was friendly & fast. Parking is free in downtown Jefferson. 10/10 would recommend!
