    We went to Hanover Tavern for their brunch. The selections were quite adequate and the entree's we selected were well proportioned and tasted excellent. Our server was very friendly and helpful, especially in helping us in making our selections. The tavern is also a historic location with exhibits and an audio tour if you so desire. Truly a nice place to visit.

    We stopped here with my parents on the way home from Baltimore. It was a little out of the way, but worth the extra 10 miles. Historic location. Excellent fried green tomato appetizer and salads. Would definitely return!

    My husband and I went to Hanover Tavern at the suggestion of a friend and we were very disappointed in the food. He ordered the Rib Eye steak and he said it was tough and had on flavor. I had the sea bass and it did not have any flavor. The cost of the meal and quality was not equal.

    We enjoyed celebrating my dads 73 birthday at Hanover Tavern. Food is Southern and the portions were very big. Melissa was a great waitress! The grounds are very pretty and historic.

    We have wanted to come here for brunch or dinner for several years and once we finally made it, we were not disappointed. Everyone from the ambience and service to the food and presentation was excellent. We look forward to our return.

    It had been a while since we were at the tavern and we were pleased that the upstairs was open. Appetizers are large, so plan to leave some on the plate if you want to enjoy your entree. We both had the same entree and it was excellent. Service was exactly right. Attentive but no hovering.

    The Hanover Tavern is a great little spot in an awesome historic building. We've been for both dinner and brunch. In our experience, brunch is slightly more consistent than dinner in terms of quality of food, but the options are great for both. Reservations are recommended.

    The Mother's Day Brunch looked appealing online but we didn't realize we would be seated in the "new" non-historic event venue. It was a buffet and table service was very slow. Food was mediocre. Omelet station ran out of eggs at one point. Our party of 7 had auto gratuity added and they also asked for more. I hope the main tavern is a better experience. Seemed like they were capitalizing on Mother's Day diners to make extra $.

    Mothers Day buffet was not stocked proper for the 1pm reso's. Bisque was lukewarm when it was replenished, Lamb was dry, chicken had no taste, Pina colada french toast was marginal.
