The restaurant is fairly small. The menu is basic. Portion sizes are average and nothing exceptional . The service was excellent and fast. The french fries or chips were a unique shape and flavorful; sort of a curly kind of cut. However, the fish and chips were just commercially frozen and quickly deep-fried. They didn’t have a proper batter and didn’t appear to be made in-house. The flavor was a little bit to herbaceous. The remoulade sauce was nice. I thought the price was a little too much at $18 for what you see in the photo. You can see the comparison food from the people I was with

Server was very dismissive, the smash burgers are not smash burgers – very overpriced considering the quality. The location and setting is nice, it’s a clean restaurant and the lemonade was nice. Outside of that though I recommend you eat somewhere else if you care more about the food. For 2 people cheaping out on fries which is a extra charge the food was 42$.

The miniature version of Tun Tavern was a nice touch to the museum. Better yet was the food which was sooo delicious. We got the special which was a BBQ pulled pork sandwich with a onion rings and fried pickles. Definitely a must when you visit.

Drinks and atmosphere was great but the staff not so much. Our waitress got upset that we sat at a table for drinks only. You sat us at the table, not sure why she got upset. Do your job better.

Food is good and the atmosphere as great but the service was not so great. Now our actual server was great, she was loud which I am fine with, but she was great. The problem is the taller lady with the glasses who just ignores the people waiting at the podium. We stood there for quite a while AFTER she walked up and said she would be right back. Finally about 10 minutes later the lady who would, fortunately, be our server came up and put our name on the list. It would not surprise me if you were to tell me that our server used to be a DI.
The fish and chips were very good. The cheese steak was ok.

Was excited to eat at a Tun Tavern inspired place. Absolutely amazing! Had a beer, a pretzel and the Chips and caramelized onion dip. It was absolutely perfect! The staff was very busy, but made sure to be very pleasant and made us feel welcome.

Fried pickles were a little on the salty side, but it was a pretty sizeable portion.
The fish and chips were fairly standard but had a nice crisp to them.
The beers were poured to the brim, no complaints there!
Decent for the price.

Stopped here midway through touring the museum. My burger was good and it hit the spot! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Everyone ordered something different and all of it was fantastic. Might be the beer talking but I would eat here again! Semper Fi!

Atmosphere is nice, although a small place. Food is just okay, it was served in less than five minutes which means it was already cooked and waiting for the customer. The greater lady who took order was not that friendly, was loud and more like a drill sergeant ♀️.

Inside is really cute looks like a little pub, it is small and very loud, good luck talking to your lunch mate. We had fish and chips with sweet potatoes fried, was pretty good, fish was a little greasy but it’s not like it’s a pub and you came just for fish and chips.
We also had the Greek salad with falafel, the falafel was pretty good you get three pieces I can’t remember what the extra charge was maybe $3 or $4 dollars at least they were done some places down cook it all the way and sometimes it is doughy inside. Salad had plenty of dressing I would add it on the side though since we shared the salad and all the dressing went to the bottom.
The sauce they give you for fish and chips was good as well.
Inside is clean they try to clean the tables right when the people leave so that nice. This keeps everything nice and tidy.
Serve was good, they were kind and they brought the food out when it was ready since it was still hot.
We would come back for sure
