Herb's Tavern

Herb’s Tavern has been around forever and I’m embarrassed to say that it was my first time here ! And I loved it !!! There’s a parking lot in the back, which is always helpful. We walked in for brunch on a Sunday morning, and we were able to snag the last seat on the patio. I loved the little shade sails over the patio! It really helped keep things cool. The wait staff seemed a little stressed. But we were waited on by a man and were brought our food by a younger girl. Both were very sweet and pleasant ! I was with three other people and we all loved our food! I’m kind of a French toast snob, and it was incredible ! My husband got a ham & Swiss omelette and loved all the cheese on it. He said it was great. We also both agreed that the hash browns were incredible. A perfect balance of crispy and soft. My only little complaint was that our food all came out at different times, so I was done eating before two of the people in my party even received their food. One of the other servers came over to apologize to us for the scene, which I was confused by. Apparently the next table over were throwing a fit because they couldn’t split their checks. I had no idea! So kudos to the staff for handling it discretely. Afterwards though, we DID hear the disgruntled guests honking obnoxiously at the patio and flipping us all the bird. lol what in the world? Hopefully their day got better. Lol

Fantastic fare at this iconic spot enjoyed by entire group…Tavern Tots were a highlight… loved zucchini sticks and fried baloney sandwich for our appetizers too…Patty melt was said to be the way a patty melt should taste, and very rare to find by our family patty melt expert who has eaten them literally everywhere…. Burgers, chicken Caesar salad, salmon BLT sandwich were great. Great service, charming setting, always love the patio here in season.

I wanted to come in Google to “challenge” some of the recent negative reviews - I’m not sure the story happened the way it is portrayed in the reviews. I was there during the confrontation (I attached my receipt to prove so). But I challenge that all the folks writing the negative reviews were - maybe friends banding together to write bad reviews??? Anyway - we were at the table right next to the part of 8 table - and I was facing the table. The only loud voices I heard were those of the diners. However, I did not realize they were upset - I did hear something about them complaining that they couldn’t split their checks and how it was BS. (I remember thinking that they were very upset for something that was posted on the door when walking into the restaurant - but whatever - some people let little things work them up). Next thing I knew, the diners left and drove out of the parking lot honking their horns and giving the restaurant the middle finger. ALL ON A SUNDAY MORNING!!!!! Back to Herb’s itself - all 4 people in our party loved the food - the service was fine, the atmosphere was fine after the hoopla!!! There was a young lady (not our waitress), who was very attentive to the people sitting on the patio - so kudos to her!!
