Main Street Tavern - Bolognese pasta and a hibiscus margarita - New American Near Me - Orange, Virginia

Excellent food, service, prices & atmosphere. I run an AirBnB in town and I highly recommend this place for all my guests! never been disappointed! read more

This restaurant is larger inside than it appears from outside. The interior is nicely decorated. There is a variety of seating options ranging from round tables to high tops to booths. When it starts filling up, it's hard to have a conversation due to the acoustics. Our waitress was friendly and did a great job. I had the burger and tater tots. The burger was cooked as ordered and had just enough seasoning to give it a good flavor. It was topped with a generous slice of cheese. The tater tots could have been better. They were weirdly pale and not nearly as crispy as I like them. There was no plate presentation. Just a plate with the burger (no bun because I didn't want one) and tots. No splash of color like some greenery. I drank water, and my total was $19 with tax and tip. Maybe just me, but that seems a bit over the top. read more

Absolutely the best food around! Amazing service and a beautiful place to have a meal.

Great atmosphere and the food is delicious. The bar service and staff are excellent.

We were greeted warmly and seated promptly, the hostess allowing us to choose whether or not we wanted a high top table. We ate on a Saturday afternoon and it was busy but not full. We parked in the lot across the street although there is 2 hour street parking. Our server was friendly but it was a little disappointing that one of the drinks we wanted couldn't be ordered because it wasn't available (not sure why because it was just an old fashioned and we could clearly see the whiskey displayed behind the bar) so we ordered a different drink and the exotic mushroom pasta entree I ordered had a choice of being served with gnocchi or pappardelle pasta (which I preferred but again, it wasn't available so I went with the gnocchi). One of my friends got the beef sliders with mashed potatoes ($3 upcharge!!!) (they wanted the beef stroganoff but the chef wasn't able to make it without mushrooms) and my other friend the Brazilian beef stroganoff. The food was delicious. The ambiance was typical of a tavern with the TVs broadcasting the Olympics and the tall ceilings caused it to be a little noisy but not unbearable. We were too full for dessert but the carrot cake had been recommended so we ordered a piece to go (the biggest slice of cake I've ever seen!) along with a slice of their lemoncello cake. Good experience, I would've given them 5 stars had they not been out of so many things and unable to accommodate my friend's wish for no mushrooms read more

Delicious food, great location near shops and parking. We have enjoyed brunch and dinner.

There aren't many bars in Orange but this one was so inviting. For New Years the had a prix fixe menu with 6 courses for $65! They also had music and celebrations for New Years which included a complementary champagne toast and party hats and horns. The bartenders were excellent at their craft and constantly checked in. The drinks were delicious! read more

Great Salmon! Barboursville wines. Miss their wasabi aoli though, that was terrific. Sit outside if it's not too hot.

Stopped here while passing through town. We sat at the bar. You have to get the Brussels and cauliflower appetizer. Oh so yummy. We got the burger and fries to split. Burger was great. Fried were fries. Shout out to our bartender, Dawn. Ask for her. She's great. read more

I have been meaning to try this place for some time. I will definitely be back. You will miss the place if your not looking for it as you pass through Orange. They have outdoor seating, but we chose to sit inside on this delightful Saturday afternoon. The staff are absolutely super. The menu offered a good selection of choices. We both had a mixed drink which was good. The steak and cheese is excellent. The bun they use is really good. My wife got the flatbread pizza. I have no complaints. Nicely done. We will surely return. read more

I've had lunch here more than two dozen times in the last three years. Usually dependable, but they are getting complaisant and lazy. Attentive service is disappearing. The new chicken taco salad was ghastly - mushy with large chunks of soggy chicken. I know they can do better. read more

Traveling with a group of four and we happened into this lovely establishment while on vacation in the area. The building is 250 years old, and it is absolutely gorgeous from the beautiful metal ceiling tiles to the lovely light fixtures and everywhere else. It is tastefully decorated. There is a full-bar and a fabulous list of craft cocktails to choose from. Our server, Grace, was absolutely delightful. She was fun and friendly, very knowledgeable of the menu, and quick and efficient. I started with the hibiscus margarita, which had black salt on the rim and was delicious. We ordered the ground beef nachos which were tasty and topped with fresh pico. Not spicy, just full of flavor. In our group, we had the meatloaf which comes wrapped in bacon and was reported to be excellent. The half chicken was very good, and a huge portion--enough for another meal. The chicken wings with Korean BBQ were tasty and cooked to perfection. I enjoyed the pork tenderloin with collards and asparagus. The meat was excellent and cooked to the temperature I ordered. We really enjoyed our time and our food... highly recommended! read more

We had a great time at MST. We started off with the mussels special, a Sauvignon blanc, and a spicy margarita. Everything was perfect. The mussels weren't too spicy (thankfully because I'm a light spice girl). I had the schnitzel special and it was so delicious. I didn't care for the pasta and they swapped it out for mashed potatoes. The pork was so tender and cooked perfectly. My husband had the catfish dinner and he said it was so good. We sat at the bar and Billy, the bartender was wonderful. He was personable and made drink just for my husband (I forgot what it was, but he loved it.) The restaurant was clean and matched the vibe. I took home a piece of key lime pie to eat later. I snuck a bite and it didn't disappoint. Looking forward to returning soon. Oh and they have a rewards program-don't forget to sign up! read more

Great food and service. they don't have a large menu but they excel at what they offer.

Ordered pretzels online for pickup at 3:00 on a Saturday and the system said pickup within 15 min. 40 mins later, we still had to wait for them. The staff inside is not attentive to pickup and could care less that we were waiting. read more

Nice ambiance and well kept. Service was mediocre. She was polite and checked on us but maybe was having an off day. Forgot our soup, brought two salts instead of salt and pepper. Caesar salad was very fresh and I enjoyed it. Sliders good. Panini good. My mom said not to get the steak as it was inedible when she had it previously, couldn't even cut it it was so tough. Lobster bisque was the soup of the day. It was one of the worst lobster bisques I've ever had. Tasted like cheese soup with zero lobster in it. Came topped with croutons and two crostinis that were too hard to eat. Definitely do not recommend it. Overall an average restaurant. Nothing to write home about. Probably would not return. read more

This is the first time I have been here. First impressions are the outside is colonial building and the door is decorated nice. The inside is decorated very nice. The artwork is of foxes in outfits. The chandeliers are very ornate. The staff is friendly. They seated us quickly and took our order quickly. I ordered a cheesesteak with fries. My daughter and wife ordered flatbread pizzas. My son ordered pasta. The food was tasty and filling. read more

I normally order out and leave. How about you bring back those Garlic Parm wings by the way. One or twice I have had a seat at the bar. I didn't get a last name but the bartender is a really personable guy named Jaime. To be honest these days if I see him at the bar, I stay and have a few drinks. If he isn't there, Iget my food as go. The other guy, eh! I have to tell you, he can make anything you like. That is talent. All1 said was- something not to sweet and not to sour. I don't remember the name of what he created but it was delicious. I dranks three. Don't worry I was walking. He is a true gem, a real bartender. If he can create such fantastic drinks in addition the the regular orders, keep him. will be looking for him next week. In addition to those garlic parm wings, we can't all eat hot wings people. If your stopping in or picking up, ask Jaime to make your drink. read more

Absolutely love this place! Food was good drinks were great! The bartenders are amazing! Wondering ambiance!

The Main Street Tavern or the gas station as we call it is a favorite spot in Clifton. The food is great, the ambiance is bar-like. Outdoor seating is nice on a warm day and is a good choice for railfans to monitor the NS, Amtrak, and VRE trains. read more

Loved the food and the decor! I had the pan-roasted pear salad, which had a great blend of flavors. My husband got one of the specials (fish and chips) that had generous portions of fish that were well seasoned and not that greasy. The staff was friendly and quick. Great place for dressed-up pub food! read more

Stopped here for lunch and a beer after touring James Madison's Montpelier. What a gem! We weren't very hungry so decided to split the Spinach and Artichoke Dip appetizer and the Mushroom and Leek Pappardell (sp?) Pasta. Forget that spinach and artichoke you get at parties. This was made with fresh ingredients, served hot with freshly made pita chips and perfectly balanced. The pasta was handmade and tender in a creamy sauce with a nice variety of mushrooms and good shaved parmesan. They had a decent selection of beers on tap. Also bottled beer, many wines, and cocktails. Prices were reasonable. We resisted temptation but dessert menu looked excellent. We would definitely return! read more

My husband and I were traveling and just happened to select Main Street Tavern to stop for dinner. Great choice! The food and staff are amazing. They were so welcoming and friendly and so helpful. We would absolutely stop here again. The building itself is gorgeous inside. So much charm. read more

We were greeted and seated right away and the ambiance was so beautiful. It's in downtown Orange in a historic brick building and they've really decorated beautifully. There is a large long bar on one side and high top tables in the middle with booths and lower tables on the other side. We ordered the half order of fish and chips which unfortunately were not the best as the batter was not fully cooked and didn't have much taste to it. Maybe throw in some of that great beer that's on the menu into the batter! The homemade slaw was so colorful and tasty if you're a fan of horseradish. My hubby loved his panini sandwich and the service was so awesome and kid friendly. This place is great for any occasion and our beers were yummy too! read more

Delicious in a classy little venue. Excellent service. We were leaving Montpelier, Looking for lunch, saw good rating on yelp and were very pleased. Way more than I expected from a "tavern" read more

Ambience was good. Service was great. Pan seared pear salad with bacon and goat cheese was fantastic. Meatloaf, recommended by the waiter, was delicious. So why a three rating? My wife's steak was cooked to a fair-the-well. You have to know how to cook a steak--very basic Restaurant 101--and hers was inedible. I would come back again for just the pear salad with an added protein, just not the steak. Trust me. read more

What a find! We stopped for lunch while in Orange having our vehicle serviced. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious. I had the wings in a garlic parmesan sauce ( which was outstanding), and my wife had the spinach artichoke flatbread with chicken. Generous portion cut into eight pieces. Very good. We had beers which were inexpensive for their size. The management was very friendly and helpful. Our waitress, Janaria, was great. The restaurant inside was spacious and the pictures/paintings on the wall speak for themselves. Can't wait to go back. read more

My wife and I actually made a wrong turn and ended up in Orange. Since we were there, we walked around and went into a few of the shops. In an antique store, we asked a woman if she could recommend a place for us to eat lunch. She suggested that we try the Main Street Tavern since her bosses ate there and raved about the food. We did and were not disappointed. If you are in the area and do stop bye, I suggest trying their Panini Sandwich. read more

I had a Philly Cheese steak and my husband had Wagyu Sliders. Both were really, really good. The cheese steak was beefy and cheesy with a little bit of tang from the sauce, on a roll that was both chewy-in-a-good-way and lightly crispy on the outside. Not a 100% Philly Cheese steak (I know - I lived near Philly for 40 years), but a 100% delicious sandwich! read more
