    Very disappointed. New decor and colors were way too modern and sterile. They do not reflect the historical style we have appreciated in the past. Our table was placed where a table had no business being, wedged between entrance and exit of the VERY NOISY bar. The new chef selections were strange and limited to very specific tastes imo. Certainly not much southern to it. We ordered the chicken dinner that the menu stated was a chicken breast and thigh. It ended up being a chicken cutlet I could’ve fixed at home. Grits were dry and the spoon bread was served towards the end of our meal as it was not ready with the rest of our food. The mashed potatoes were only worthy of being pretty good. Over all the expense did not equal the value of the food. Glad we previously had great meals there and those memories as we won’t be going back We expressed our disappointment to our waitress and the manager skirted by us with a quick smile. He asked how everything was and kept on walking. Did not stop for our reply

    Went there for a birthday dinner with a party of 4. The decor and updates are great, with a very local but stylish vibe. We each ordered a different entree (half rack ribs, tavern chicken, shrimp and grits, and local mushroom) and all were really good. Will definitely come back to try the other menu options.

    Boone Tavern is a delightful experience and every person we came in contact with was very cordial and happy to assist if we needed any help. Our meal was breakfast/brunch and was very good. It was a ladies day outing and we all enjoyed the meal and the entire experience.
