Bogart's Restaurant and Tavern

We loved our visit here while driving thru. Super cool atmosphere but what made this amazing was the patrons and staff. EVERYONE seemed like a regular, but they all were friendly to us "out of towners"! We interacted with the owner and most of the staff and they were all amazing and friendly and so kind and amazing and sweet. Thank you for a great experience! Cheers and great success to you!

Just spending a couple days in Waynesville checking out the area. Hostess was nice enough and sat us right away. Drinks came out, my beer was cold, but my significant others Margarita was just OK. Fried Mushrooms were amazing and Caeser Salads were fresh and very good. My better half ordered the 7 oz Filet, I had the smothered grilled chicken. I'll just say the 7 oz filet came out looking like and 11 oz and tough. My chicken was grilled, but then the cheese was put directly on the chicken and then the mushrooms and undercooked onions on top of that, If the onions were grilled and put with the mushrooms on the steak, then placed the Swiss cheese and broiled until the cheese melted and toasted, then you may have a winner. Definitely not overly impressed. I think you have the ability to do better, way better.

Perfect place to stop by for a very filling lunch! LOVED the sweet potato, fried green tomatoes with homemade ranch and roasted red pepper and gouda soup! Our waitress Kay, was prompt, wonderful and kind! It's a treat!!

I was pleased with my cajun chicken pasta. The ribeye according to my hubby was not the best quality, also need it more seasoning and meat was a bit hard.He love the big bake potatoes. Our server was very nice.The music and ambience were very good.

The place had great atmosphere and that’s about all it has going for it. Limited menu, pretty much has staple dinner food. I had a salad (store quality spring mix), steamed vegetables (again store packaged quality), 8oz ribeye was cooked correctly at med rare, but wasn’t prepared with any type of seasoning (not even salt & pepper). The experience in a whole was okay and nothing to write home about. I could have easily cooked the exact same meal at home. With that said it’s not a destination, but rather a place to go if you’re away from home or don’t feel like cooking. They really should invest in new menus that aren’t worn and stained.

Once you get past the fact it’s extremely dark to the point a flashlight had to be used to see the menu you’ll find the food is good. We had a couple of people with us that had food allergies, and the server was very understanding asked questions from the kitchen and helped us with that situation. The people with the allergies very much enjoyed their chicken sandwich and said it was very delicious. Overall, the food here is solid. The atmosphere however very much needs some improvements and a couple of lights or lamps might go along way.

Food was great! Staff were friendly and talked with my group. Pleasant atmosphere.

My Mom and I are there last night and we had the BEST loaded baked potato!! It was huge and had more than enough stuffing! We brought half of it home because we couldn't eat it all! We also ate a side salad but it was pretty big to be a side salad so we got full quickly. We both ate for $23 including our sweet teas! Great service as well. We ate upstairs!
