Grand Tavern Troy

I'm actually kind of surprised I had never reviewed this place until now. We thought it was pretty average the first time we dined here many years ago, so now we go back every few years thinking something is going to change, but it never really does. It has a huge menu with a wide variety of options. The whipped feta appetizer was new, so we gave it a shot and it was quite good. My side caesar was also good. For my entree I had the Maryland salmon. The sauce and crab were good, but the salmon itself was pretty dried out. My wife had a salad with salmon on top and had a similar experience. On the positive side, our server was very friendly and attentive. Also, they have a large quantity and nice variety of outdoor seating options, which is the primary reason we visited. Overall, it's not a bad spot...it's just nothing memorable.

Mediocre at best the food for the buffet isn’t labeled. Flies are flying around uncovered fruits and vegetables. The chairs and plates are dirty. This place could be nice but needs major upgrades to their buffet, and the inside of the building.

As soon as we arrived at the door, we could smell something good! Greeted right as we came in. Asked if we’re here for the buffet. We were not but it definitely looked like a good spread. This place is the place to be by the looks of it. Lots of party’s and events going on. Our server, Jack was great. Very friendly and informative. Was quick with it all and was very attentive while there was so much going on. I had the Reuben with onion rings and they were the rings I love. They were breaded and perfectly and with a touch of seasoning. A zesty dip was provided which also added a flavour pop. The sandwich was very filling and had the right amount of corned beef. My son had a Caesar salad with sweet potato fries which he also had me try. They were very good and salted just right. Service was very quick with all that was going on. I would definitely consider the buffet if I was back in this city

A group of friends and I, 6 in total went on a Sunday for brunch. We went around 12:30pm, were able to walk right in. The girls wanted mimosas. You could get by the glass or a bottle for $33 so we did the bottle. The buffet brunch was $25 pp. The food was great!! Not one person complained out of our group about the food. They had shrimp and grits one of the girls loved. The beef whether it was brisket or prime rib. I'm not sure but it was good, juicy, cooked just right. The biscuits and gravy also good. Eggs, waffles, deserts, omelet station, crepe station. It was all good. And our waiter was funny, attentive and helpful. Overall great experience and great food. We will definitely be putting this place in our brunch rotation.

This is actually a nice casual place. Great atmosphere with a nice staff. The bathroom was super clean. The food was delicious! I only had a problem with the fish not being crispy..it was slightly soggy. The lamb chops and the burger were very well made. My dinner came with 2 sides and 5 lamb chops for $36, which is competitive pricing. The fish and chips were $19. All in all, I'll definitely go back there.

First time dining here, it was amazing. I came for a bridal brunch party, I will return!

Food was great, but not that good to recommend to others or come back here again. Portions size was perfect, not too much but I also didn't leave hungry. Service was good. Prices are reasonable. The only issue I had was that substituting shrimp for chicken was $3, but when we got the check they charged us $4.

Visited this place for the first time today. Attended a birthday celebration for brunch on the patio. The food was delicious. The service was excellent except for the coffee being served to soon and had cooled off before we returned to the table. Other than that everything was great! Loved the atmosphere of the patio. Will definitely visit this place again.
