The White Oak Tavern

The White Oak Tavern is a great place to meet friends for drinks and dinner. Great vibe. Great atmosphere. We stopped in on a Friday & they had Live acoustic music. The menu is full of delicious appetizers & entrees. There is a huge selection of beers, wines & cocktails. You can’t go wrong with anything you choose off the menu. Everyone at our table enjoyed their dinner & drinks. We had a wide variety of smoked wings, burgers, steaks, brussel sprouts and fries. All cooked and served perfectly. No complaints from our table.

I visited the white oak at the urging of one of their wonderful servers. Which showed me her trust in the products they have to offer. When I got here about 6:30 pm the place was bustling with people pretty much filled up. I sat at the bar and it took a bit to get served but I understood with the compacity of the room. My first choice was the shrimp and crayfish tail bisque which to my taste was way to spicy with little crayfish or shrimp if any at all. I then had the smoked wings with brown sugar and coffee rub and when I got a taste of that combination I liked it honestly it could use alot more of that for some flavor I did add some ground salt and some flavors came out then. My last course was the cheeseburger which I added bacon too. I must admit this was cooked perfectly to my requested temp and tasted wonderful. I was told later that this place is gluten free but I couldn't tell on that burger roll it was all delicious. I am not worried about gluten and i dont know if this is true or not When you come out here keep in mind this is more of a burger and sandwich stop. But was very good for what they do

Came here on a whim one Saturday evening. I was actually planning on going to a nearby favorite, however, decided to give this place a try instead. We were promptly greeted by friendly hostesses and sat in the dining area. There was a nearby group of guys drinking and talking very loudly, which was a bit obnoxious; take that to the bar. As the restaurant was filling up and got closer to the dinner rush, a manager did ask them to move to the bar, and they happily complied. We ordered Stuffed Portabella, Fried Chicken Sandwich, and kids’ chicken strips. All were incredibly tasty. The fries that came with the meals were probably the best local fries I’ve had. We were all completely satisfied with our food. Our waitress was attentive, and our drinks frequently refilled. The prices were also very fair for the great quality. I would recommend this restaurant.

Pros: food allergy friendly ( gluten free and dairy free, dedicated fryer ), good portion sizes, friendly staff, quick, good parking Cons: maybe pricey?

Nice, friendly neighborhood restaurant tucked in a corner of the Enchanted Forest Shopping Center. Parking is plentiful. The menu offers seasonal specials with fresh ingredients. They are specials throughout the week with scheduled live entertainment. I don’t drink but there appeared a decent selection of Craft brews, cocktails and mocktails to choose from. Still cold right now but there is a large patio area that tailors to outdoor eating and did I mention is pet friendly! It was very welcoming and the dining area is laid out large enough to enjoy a gathering of friends or family to eat together. We were a weekday lunch time party of a dozen people celebrating a retirement and our server was very nice and accommodated separate checks. That is always appreciated. We did not have long to wait for our orders. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The food presented was appealing and well prepared. The one thing I would remark on is the Tavern Reuben was a bit on the chewy side on some parts but it was flavorful and the rye bread was nice and thick. I also appreciate house prepared dressings and sauces. There are a few selections for vegan and gluten free diets. Looks to be a nice be place to frequent and hang out, we never felt cramped and were able to carry on normal volume conversations. We were well attended by our server despite being a pretty large group, I wish I had gotten his name. I would like to come back again and try their seasonal offerings in such a friendly atmosphere! Nicely done White Oak Tavern!

Tried this place for the first time and was impressed! Good service (sat at the bar), great beer selection and the food was great (cream of crab soup and a shrimp curry bowl special).

Went for dinner on the Saturday after Valentines Day, and the place was lively. Great drink options, including plenty of pre-dinner cocktails and a fun selection of local and standard beers on draft. Asked the staff what beer to get based on preferences, and that turned out to be a good move. Had the winter stew for dinner, and it was great and filling. Date had a burger, and she loved it. Prices are reasonable, the staff are friendly, and the place is a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend for a night out with friends for drinks, food, and the occasional live music.

Have been going here since they opened but wanted to give an updated review. Great food, service, and atmosphere. They have a seasonal menu with new items throughout the year (Including seasonal cocktails). Also have the biggest tap list in the area with a ton of local breweries on draft. Really liked the Banh mi sandwich and peanut butter pie I had for dessert. They also have a great chicken sandwich!

We decided to try this restaurant on an early evening after work. The restaurant was practically empty. We were seated immediately. We tried the strawberry lemonade cocktail and it was delicious. I ordered the Caesar salad with chicken and a side of fries. The fries are delicious!

I actually used to really enjoy this place but I got carry out from here and they really let me down. I'll have to re evaluate if I'll come back. I ordered the truffle mac and cheese which was basically just cooked pasta with truffle oil - there wasn't really a cheese sauce for the "and cheese" part. See photo. For the steak burger- there was no Gorgonzola present. I ordered roasted beets and received their brussel sprouts which had no beets and overcooked brussel sprouts and hard pears. I get the sprouts would be mushy... but this was really disappointing. I'm not sure what happened but I'm disappointed.

Staff members were super friendly! Greeted at the door and seated promptly. Blueberry nojito mocktail was refreshing so I ordered multiple. The salmon risotto was presented well but could use more flavor (was a tad bland). The burger hit the spot and definitely was a hit! The location is not to be expected. Pretty huge inside but the outside patio area was a tad small. Enjoyed the nice spring weather on the patio with the table umbrella and with a nice cold beer.

Eh? Nothing special food wise. Jilly's was better...Beers were excellent however, I throughly enjoyed the variety of seasonal brews.

Love love love love love this place!! First time we came across it was during warmer weather, so we got to sit outside. We were specifically looking for a dog friendly place due to having our mini husky with us, (maybe it was our chihuahuas, now I'm not sure, but we had our doggos!) we were astonished when we had an entire dog menu handed to us!! Immediately started trying to find something to order for them. I had a rootbeer float that day because I couldn't resist, it was superb. We sat and played a game of Magic and enjoyed our time. Our waiter (I wish I remembered his name, a long haired gentleman) was amazing. After our game he came out and asked us who won. I said my partner cheated haha because he won. Since this time though we've been back twice because it such a great place, with good homemade sauces and delicious food options. The dog menu really took it home for us. I can't wait for the weather to be warmer so we can enjoy sitting outside there again. Bonus: their mocktails are DELICIOUS!! I don't drink alcohol, so those are a yummy win!

Great overall visit and customer service by Davina. I located this place on Yelp and wanted to try. Today, I showed up w hubby and son. Super easy to find, large parking lot, visually attractive dining area and bar. We sat, ordered, and waited a work shift for our food. We waited at least 40 minutes for our food. We ordered the following. Smoked Wings: Delish. Crispy. Steak n Eggs: Very good, well seasoned and prepared. Pear Hot Cider: Very tasty, soothing. * I forgot to take a pic of my delish chicken sandwich. Overall, super cool visit. Just gotta work on the food prep time. I may return in the future for entertainment. They host several bands, several days monthly.

One of the best burgers I've had in a while! I had a dog with me and wanted to find a spot for lunch - a bit challenging in the dead of fall. They had an outdoor patio that is dog friendly and was open in November. No heaters or anything but worked for my needs! Inside looked great, awesome place to catch a football game.

Lived in Columbia most of my life and come up here on occasion. Now moved to EC and have been here more times in the past 3 months than probably past 3 years combined. This is a comprehensive review. Brunch is *typically* the best time to visit. The brisket hash or veggie hash is great. Been here with live jazz music on a brunch that really classed up the place. Decided to do brunch here on Mothers Day weekend Saturday- horrible mistake. Just like your average politician or Healthcare CEO, White Oak Tavern preferred their profits over their patrons dining experience, and sat a loud, obnoxious 15 person surprise bridal shower in the middle of the dining room amongst guests. It was unbearable to try to talk to the three other people I was with. The "manager" came over to ask how everything was - I was honest that the food was good but it was uncomfortably loud. He laughed and walked away. If you dont have a private room- dont book a screeching party amongst everyone else, simple. Lunch and Dinner are just eh. Did dinner not too long ago and sat at the bar; the bartender spilled an entire bottle of wine she was opening on my boyfriend and said bar. "Your first drink is on me!" was the apology. We had to throw out his shirt, but hey, the 1 drink between the two of us was free! Also this year, post Ellicott City move in maybe February or March, I had a truffle parmesan french fries along side one of their winter salads with sweet potato. Thought I was going to end up in the emergency room with the gastrointestinal issues it caused. I know White Oak is going to quip something back at me as they do to all their negative reviews, but this is honest to god me coming back time after time and having mediocre to bad experiences and I think I'm finally done this merry-go-round.

Nine years later, and my original criticism still stands. I gave White Oak another chance this past week, but service was, again, painfully slow despite a half-empty dining room. There seemed to be four or five servers working, so perhaps the kitchen was the logjam. Regardless, White Oak's menu is wholly uninspired, and I will continue to go elsewhere for my Sysco slop.

Hidden gem and unassuming place! I had the chicken sandwich fried and it was great! I upped my fries to the rosemary garlic parmesan ones and it was SOOOOO worth it! The sandwich was so good flavorful and nice crisp on it. I got the espresso martini with whiskey and it was also good! Will re order both!

We really like this place for brunch and this was our first time for dinner. It wasn't as good as it Al, everything came out cold. Or was super busy so we didn't say anything. It still tasted good but would definitely have been better warm.

Came here on a Friday night to check it out. They Asked for reservations. So we sat at the bar. Place was busy. I saw some open tables. Staff took a while to come by and welcome us. Decor was very woody, hence "white oak" Staff Didn't seem too friendly. The food other people had looked good. The Wing options were not the best. They claimed to be smoked, no smoke signs out of the kitchen. Must be those "smoke bitter drops"..since the wings were wack and value for meal wasnt there. I didnt order the burger. Would I come back? Maybe To try the burgers. But for the prices, lets just say I wouldnt go out of my way knowing theres other options.

Very good food and service. I really enjoyed the burger and fries. They were able to accommodate my gluten allergy very easily. A great experience overall.

Really nice place. The outside doesn't do it justice. Rotating beer and food menu. We went for dinner and it was very family friendly, though it looks like it is probably more for adults at night. They also welcome dogs on the patio and even have dog treats on their menu. They also had cool tablets for kids to doodle on, very creative. I'm not normally a fan of fancy burgers, but these were great. The kids Mac and cheese was "okay" according to my 11 year old and the chicken nuggets were fantastic according to my 8 year old. We all agree the fries are epic. We will definitely be back.

We celebrated a friends birthday here a little over a month ago and it was amazing. We had a pretty large party and were seated outside. The outdoor seating was pretty nice and had a chill atmosphere. The server made sure to get all of the kiddos orders out first which was appreciated. The food was outstanding. We had the fall risotto and ordered the harvest salad but ended up getting the fall salad. This is where things start to break down. The service wasn't the best. Part of the issue was that we had a single server for our large party and she wasn't dedicated to us. It's not at all her fault. She was doing her best to serve her other tables and us as well. The kitchen was also struggling to get orders out and keep them all straight. All in all it was enjoyable but there were definitely people that were just getting food their after a couple of hours.

First time and here and definitely would reccommend . Made a spontaneous visit with a friend for a burger sans this place did not disappoint. Ordered a medium-well bacon cheese burger with fries. My burger was thick and juicy and way bigger than I had expected. The fries were out and evenly seasoned with the perfect amount of salt. Our server was by far the best . He made the best recommendations and was able to run down all the specials without any hesitations . He was constantly checking on us and making random conversation was nice . The bar its self was nicely clean and great size to come and just catch a game . Parking was just okay but we were lucky enough to park up front

This a pretty standard dive bar in my opinion. The food was fine, the mini crab cakes truly were mini but the flavor was good. It's located in a strip mall so there's ample parking which is very convenient. The staff was friendly too. There was live music which was very loud as a forewarning and the drinks tasted like juice mostly which were the only downsides.

food was really good and service was good. but why did they charge me 50 cents for extra mayo. no restaurant has every done that to me before. it was maybe 2 teaspoons in a cup and i was never told it was an extra charge for extra mayo. probably will just order takeout from now on

Tara was a great waitress. Came in for brunch and the bottomless mimosas. It was packed on a Sunday morning but I made a reservation in advance. Could not get a space anywhere close to the restaurant but the weather was nice and I didn't mind the walk. I had a coupon for a free burger in the month of January so no time like the present to redeem it. I have always been a fan of their burgers and especially their house made ketchup. I also ordered one of my brunch favorites short rib hash. It normally comes with poached eggs but they will allow you to substitute with the eggs of your choice. I prefer scrambled with no cheese. Service this trip was outstanding. Tara checked on use frequently and I never had to ask for anything. Most importantly she kept the mimosas flowing. I don't think my glass was ever empty.

I have now been to The White Oak Tavern twice. Both experiences were fantastic. All of the menu items that I tried were delicious. Their outdoor seating is dog friendly and they even have a dog menu! They have a huge selection of craft beer and cocktails. I highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Chill spot! Dog friendly! Lots of parking! Visited here some months ago so this review is long overdue! Sat outside on a warm Saturday afternoon. Just had wings and a few drinks. The service wasn't terrible, but wasn't great. Not necessarily a place I would be in a huge hurry to come to!

White Oak Tavern is a nice spot to have brunch or dinner. There's indoor, outdoor and bar seating. It can get busy so definitely make reservations. The food is tasty and the customer service is great. I had brunch on a Sunday after church. It was right before the Sunday rush and I was fortune to get a table without reservations. I got the chicken french toast that was accompanied with potatoes and topped with an egg. It sounds like an odd combination, however it was rather tasty. Our waiter was attentive and kept our waters topped. The drink menu (no pictures) was appealing however I can't speak on it since I passed on drinks. I do plan on going back.

I've honestly had "hit or miss" on the food but every time the staff has offered me something else or fixes the problem very quickly. Sometimes the chef is different and you can tell by how the food comes out.

Visited The White Oak Tavern for the first time this past Friday and had a great experience! Our server Matt was great. He was friendly, attentive and quick with service. We let him know it was our first time, and he shared his recommendations with us. For a starter, we had the Kung Pao Green Beans, and they were sooo good! The sauce with the spice of the pepper flakes and the crunch of the peanuts made the green beans so tasty. For our main courses, I ordered the Bacon Chutney Burger and my husband ordered the Turkey Pesto Pasta. The burger was probably one of the best burgers I have had in Howard County. Even cooked medium-well, it was still very juicy (not dry at all!) and full of flavor. My husband loved his pasta, he said the turkey meatballs were delicious. We can see why this is a popular place, and will definitely be back again!

Food was fine. Atmosphere is mediocre. Not bad but not compelling. Serves were good. I would go back but would look elsewhere too

Love the ambiance-- just the right lighting. Service is always good and as a vegetarian i have choices. Brunch is wonderful too. Lots of beer (not a beer drinker) but i can say the wine is good!

I personally wasn't a fan of the food or service. The amount of food served was definitely a small amount. There wasn't much flavor in the omelet. I've had southwest omelets at different restaurants that had various flavors and much more tastier. The butter was difficult to put on the toast...the butter seemed like it was frozen. In addition, the service was pretty slow

Went with a few friends to their Halloween bash. It was pretty crowded but we were able to get a table. The music was extremely loud, to the point you couldn't even talk to the person next to you. The band was talented but the sounds level of the music ruined the experience for me since I wanted to socialize with my friends. Our waitress was patient and very attentive. Their menu looked great with tons of options and fair prices. They also have a menu for dogs which was cute! We ordered a side of fries since we had already ate. They were too salty for me. Our drinks were super strong and reasonably priced. They also gave a cute outdoor area with heaters! I'd stop back for dinner, but probably wouldn't come back to any of their live music events.

Many people raved about this place so we were excited to give it a try for lunch. Our table got the hash (one with brisket another with sausage), the tavern burger with rosemary Parmesan fries, the chicken sandwich, and a kids nugget plate. It wasn't busy during lunch but our server was very short with us. If we weren't able to answer in the 0.5 seconds, he was gone. We get it. It was Christmas Eve-Eve and it's probably the last place any service industry employee wants to be. Whatever. Kid's nuggets looked dried and crusty but she's a kid so she didn't eat much to begin with. The hash was just ok...there were two different kinds of sausages in there and then....a penne pasta noodle. So not sure if that was a dump hash or what but I lost my appetite after that. The brisket hash had minimal brisket. And the ever so famous burger was nothing out of the park. The Parmesan fries were good though. The chicken sandwich was nothing to write home about. All in all, the experience left us feeling like it was over hyped and the place a bit subpar. Not sure if the evening food and vibes are different. But we wouldn't go out of our way to go back again. Plus the server was "SO busy" in a rush and short. Our excitement ended in disappointment and unfulfilled.

Last night my wife and I enjoyed dinner at the bar of the White Oak Tavern. Craft beer selections were good, food delicious, and service prompt, friendly, and helpful. Juan, the general manager, and his team of restaurant professionals, are doing a great job. The White Oak is a neighborhood Cheers for the residents of Ellicott City.

Met a friend here for brunch on a Saturday morning as they opened at 11am. The best positive was our server - she was excellent and attentive. We told her we hadn't seen each other in awhile and needed to catch up and she gave us just the right amount of attention while giving us space to gab. My friend got the french toast and grilled watermelon while I got the brisket hash. My friend liked her food, I found the brisket hash to be very disappointing - it was 90% potatoes, nominal amount of meat (1/4c on the whole bowl and broken in to teeny pieces?), and both poached eggs were overcooked. With a price point of $20 for the hash, I expected a better portion of meat and well cooked eggs. They are, perhaps, overpriced for their ability to deliver. The parking lot is large and was easy to find a spot. I likely will not return on my own here.

A fun happy hour bar with a local bar feel. Bartender was super friendly and encouraging for the menu items, fish tacos were surprisingly good! I would have stayed longer except I didn't plan for a fun time...next trip!

1 and done . Server never came back after taking out order except to bring the check. Food mediocre over priced Rueben , barely warm mushroom soup. Not going back .

The food is on point. A wide range of beers and whiskies. I have never been disappointed with a meal at white oak tavern

So I really really wish I could give 4 stars. Or like 3.5. Not sure why open table showed no openings for before 6 but when we arrived 15 min early we were quickly sat. And when I didn't love one of my beers, one of the bar guys picked out something else and it was great. So why the three stars? 1. The crispy calamari was not crispy. Not even remotely. And chewy. Our 7 year old is a calamari devotee. We hadn't said anything and he's like "this isn't calamari". 2. The cheese sauce in the Mac and cheese was rich but grainy. Above listed kid did not like the texture and ate very little. 3. Walked away feeling like the price didn't match what we got. It was all good. But more money than it felt like it deserved. I should call out the excellent goat cheese tortellini that was on special. Very tasty but would have been even better with a big hunk of bread.

Todays brunch was terrific I had the fried green tomatoe BLT and my partner has the brisket hash Both were good I like that the hash potatoes were crispy and WOT historically has had good brisket My sandwich was well executed with good bread and crispy bacon. I had a side of their excellent mashed potatoes This is always a good place to eat Sat outside in the nice weather There was a jazz group inside providing a little background cool Eat here you will be happy Zach took good care of us

Ate brunch after the All Things Go festival at Merriweather. Service was solid. Omelet was superb. French toast was good, but was not served with pure maple syrup. Bacon was incredible. Will definitely return if in the area again.

Service was great. Food was very good. Shared a large salad and ordered 2 pizzas. The Margarita was my fav the special white pizza I didn't love. Had left overs.

The menu changes for seasonal needs so you'll want to visit a few times throughout the year. During the Fall their pumpkin bisque is my favorite. Its thicker than a German Kürbis Suppee but it cures that craving. They are wearing masks, have indoor and outdoor seating and follow the state rules for closing time at 10pm. The staff is ALWAYS super friendly and their beer list is enormous, along with their whiskey spirits. Its the only place that I know that offers single serve WhistlePig. Yummm. Their bacon bowl is a definite must for Bacon lovers. Its caramelized and crispy glazed deliciousness and is exactly as described, just a bowl of bacon. It is great for groups, for brunch with friends, and is still offering live music on the weekends. If you're a beer lover, becoming a beer club member is a must! Make the list and get your own engraved "Tap" which hangs on the walls and columns of the restaurant. I have had their brisket stroganoff and was not a fan, probably because of the sauce. I believe it had a mushroom base and I do not care for mushrooms. On another occasion I have had their chicken rice bowl. I don't like broccoli but I ate it all. It was delicious but needed more paprika slices. :) It was mostly rice, a few snippets of chicken and some broccoli. The flavor was good though and it was a decent light meal.

Nice place to listen to music, food is okay. Things that are not good... Poor wash management on there drink glasses. Alot of them smell badly, which ruins the taste of your drink. Several times I've had to ask for a replacement. They should invest in a dishwasher. Not always the entertainment that's posted on there web site. Very disappointing when you travel 13 miles to see a band and there's a replacement band. Why not update you web page with this change??

Service is outstanding and I love that you can sit on the patio outside with you pups. Even better? Dog menu! Yeah, that's right. You can get a burger or chicken breast for your dog and a few other treats. Great drink and beer menu. The place where they do not shine is the food. It's very solid, but it's not a foodie paradise. That said, I would go back for drinks on the patio anytime.

I was recommended the white oak burger. I could only eat half. I'm not trying to be rude. This was not my liking. NEVER AGAIN! The Parmigiano French Fries ,they are CRAZY FREAKING GOOD. I recommend these to EVERYONE ". YOU CAN NOT EAT JUST ONE! I've been back 3 times since last week. Nice environment.

I've always enjoyed my food at this restaurant. The bar area is nice and cozy with plenty of TV's. I love that they offer beer flights with all of the beer selections they offer. Definitely try The White Oak Burger - one of the best burgers I've ever had!

Recommended on Howard County's restaurant week as one of the top establishments around the area, so we decided to come for dinner. Sad to say that I will not be returning. Our server was very nice, but food came quite slow. This was Sunday night, so that wasn't a huge issue for us. The food was the real issue here, which surprised us given the great reviews. I guess the dishes were either a hit or complete miss. Our starters included the caprese, salmon toast points, and the seared tuna. Caprese and seared tuna were fine (literally 6 pieces of tuna as big as quarters though). The salmon toast points weren't really "toast points," more like just toast with salmon cream cheese. For entrees, we ordered the shrimp pasta, chicken udon bowl, pan-seared salmon, and onion burger. The onion burger was by far the best, delicious actually. Great use of different types of onions and the house made ketchup has a nice smoky flavor to it. The salmon was also done well. Vegetables were buttery, cooked well, and treated respectfully. Wasabi rice was actually quite delicious too. Then we have the chicken udon bowl. $26 for a small portion of udon (usually udon is also a bit thicker noodle) topped with dry, like desert dry, fried chicken. Also, way too much salt. The shrimp pasta... I expected to taste of tomato, but flavor was flat. The shrimp were tiny and clearly frozen because it had a nasty soft, gummy texture and tasted of freezer burn. Definitely don't recommend. For a well-established restaurant such as this one, I expected fresh shrimp at least. Well, I wish I could say that's all, but dessert had to come and disappoint. The peanut butter pie was SWEET AF and a lack of peanut butter flavor. The blondie was... well, more like raw cookie dough? I like my blondies and brownies gooey, but this was basically raw - gritty and chalky. Such a shame because I had high hopes for this place. If anything, would return for the burger, but I'd prefer not to sit though that experience again just for a decent burger.

When I receive the food I've ordered at any restaurant, it usually looks so good that I can't resist taking a picture of it. I had no desire to take a picture of the food I ate at The White Oak Tavern, which should have been considered a bad omen. The server was friendly and relatively organized, even though she had to be reminded twice to bring a few things. Clearly this place is past it's glory days. I had heard that in the past it had won awards, but based on all of our meals, I truly can't understand why. Everything was overpriced to the point that I would be embarrassed to serve the food that we were actually served. I ordered a chicken cheesesteak, which was, quite possibly, the worst I have ever eaten. Tiny diced pieces of dry overcooked chicken, almost non-existent cheese, and crunchy onion pieces on the top, which actually were the best part. The bread was over-toasted and so rough it was hard to bite into without scraping your mouth. Only the fries were excellent. Everybody else's meals were equally as dismal. Some people opted for the "salad" instead of french fries, and that consisted of a handful of lettuce. Seriously, that was it. Since the next day were still talking about how terrible the food was, this will definitely be my first and last time here; there are just too many great food choices in the immediate area to waste a meal here.

Had to eat outside but they had heaters and they were hot. Ordered the Eggplant Ragout and the Buffalo Blue Cheese burger. My son and his Godfather ordered the White Oak burger. Now this place had the label of Howard County's Best Burger but they only had 2 on the menu. The Ragout had aLighter fluid taste. Do not recommend it. The Guinness IPA was good. The burgers are taking some time to cook. The ketchup was terrible. It did not have a tomato taste. My burger did not have any blea cheese taste. It wasn't juicy or very flavorful. It seemed they chose not to season the meat. Now the band is walking in and we are glad we are outside. Live entertainment is always a negative for me. You might feel different. Our server was excellent. I don't know about the rest of their menu but for the burgers it is a hard no.

Man--COVID life has not been kind to TWOT. Quality took a small dive, portions were cut, and prices rose sharply. It's hard to justify ordering from here for delivery. It's a huge bummer, because this used to be one of my favorite spots. I'll come back and give it a shot when the world opens up. I love the mug club, the atmosphere, and the rotating menu. As it stands right now--I can't stomach the hit to my wallet for the quality and quantity I get in return. :-(

This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they're doing and what they're talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is pretty good, some breakfast classics and some twists, and for their prices it's 100% worth it. I ordered the Fried Chicken Deluxe (fried chicken breast, brioche French toast, fried egg, cheddar cheese, honey mustard, home fries) and my friend ordered Brisket Mac-N-Cheese (pasta shells, house-smoked grass-fed brisket, steak seasoned cream sauce, jalapeños, tortilla strips, parmesan). Unfortunately, we had two newborns with us and didn't get a picture to share.
