We called to get reservations but they were fully booked all weekend. They have an outdoor area though that opens 30 mins earlier so we went and we were pleasantly surprised at the amount of space it had. Good drinks and good food. Ordered the filet medallions and wanted to not like it due to the total lack of presentation, especially for the price (you eat with your eyes first) but the quality and seasoning was so good we had to overlook it. They only reason it was a 3 out of 5 service was because they had only one bartender on an extremely busy fall foliage weekend and it took forever

My family and I had a great time here! The service was excellent and the food was pretty good, the duck and lamb dishes were our favorite. The atmosphere elevated the whole experience because you are surrounded by history, we loved it.

Incredible experience all around!
Everything we order was wonderful and the outdoor ambiance was picturesque. Service was slow but they were busy and understaffed.
Appetizers: Smoked Norwegian Salmon & Oysters Rockefeller
Entree: Springer Mountain Chicken and Risotto (+ house salad with orange balsamic) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The table bread was fresh but the butter had a weird flavor profile. Apparently the kitchen gets to experiment, which is neat, but they missed the mark with chocolate and something else.
It’s recommended to make reservations if you’d like to sit inside or under the covered terrace. Otherwise, the back bar/patio area is nice for walk-ins.

I just had one of the best meals of my life. You simply must order The Stagecoach to start. Anything else that follows will be wonderful!

History and Good Eating! My husband and I came here on a trip to Tennessee and the charm of The Tavern was enough to make us change our plans around to visit. The look and feel once you enter takes you back to 1700s. The menu has classical Germanfaire and items that look, feel, and taste colonial. We can’t wait to go back next time we are in town.
Be sure to get reservations ahead of time as they fill up rather quickly.

I went here with my colleagues for business dinner and overall it was fantastic! The food and the service and even the seating were terrific. I highly recommend this as a destination that anybody should go to if they’re going to be in the area. We drove about 40 miles to get here from Kingsport Tennessee because of how highly recommended it was.
The peanut butter pie was to die for!

While in the area I came here for dinner. Never have been before. The service was very good. Waitress was kind and helpful. Food was good, nothing great. For $65 I was not as impressed as expected to be. What was very good was the honey lemon ginger ale. The shrimp were cold and fresh. Trout was a little dry.
There is plenty of parking in the area. Atmosphere was very nice.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Tavern, and it exceeded all expectations. This historic American restaurant offers an exceptional fine dining experience, blending classic American flavors with diverse culinary influences. The menu is thoughtfully curated, featuring a delightful variety of dishes, including German specialties, fresh seafood, and perfectly prepared steaks. One standout item was the stuffed filet mignon, which was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented.
The atmosphere at The Tavern is equally impressive. The interior exudes charm with its historic decor, offering a warm and inviting ambiance that makes you feel like you’re stepping back in time while enjoying modern comforts. Whether you choose to dine inside or outside on the lovely porch/courtyard, the setting is ideal for a relaxing meal. The outdoor seating area is especially appealing, providing a serene and picturesque space to enjoy your meal.
The full bar complements the dining experience with an extensive selection of beverages, including a great mix of German beers and local options, which pair wonderfully with the diverse menu. The attentive staff adds to the overall experience, ensuring that each guest feels well taken care of.
Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner with friends or a special evening out, The Tavern offers a unique and memorable dining experience that is not to be missed. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a blend of historic charm, fine food, and excellent service.

This place is lovely! My husband is from the area and pointed this place out to me as a special historic place with German food (we are both largely German heritage). I said, “wanna stop?” I sure am glad we did! We actually went two days in a row. The first night we sat out at the back deck bar and it’s such a cool space. The bartender, Ben, was great and gave us some recommendations. We ended up ordering the salmon appetizer (delicious) and I had a cocktail similar to a whiskey sour, except he used honey syrup instead or simple syrup. My husband got a glass of the Riesling. We recommend all three. In addition to the salmon appetizer, Ben brought us out a french onion soup to share on the house (maybe it was a kitchen mistake, but the gesture was so nice). The next night the outside bar was closed due to rain, but they managed to get us a table with no reservation. We sat upstairs next to the fireplace. It was so cozy and wild to think the building is from the 1700s! This time my husband got the dunkel (very good) and I got a glass of Federalist Cab) (also good), followed by an interesting gin cocktail with fresh carrot juice called Equinox! Then we shared the escargot, French onion soup, and a plate of Wienerschnitzel with kraut and spatzel! It warmed our German hearts. I told my husband I want to come back in April for my birthday! I can’t wait. Do yourself a favor and visit The Tavern.
