    I think they were having a really bad night in the kitchen -- food was extremely slow to come out and not up to the usual quality. Also; I could barely have a conversation with the person across from me because I couldn't hear. So overall; it's a shame because this is my second time going here... and the first time; everything tasted quite well. Hoping they sort it out.

    We went to Tennessee Tavern for a birthday celebration. We had many vegetarians in the group and everyone found something delicious to eat! The food was great with very generous servings and the atmosphere was fun. The staff were friendly. We will definitely be returning.

    Found this restaurant when searching for schnitzel. They offer a fun and funky atmosphere. The beer choices were plentiful and the food was delicious!! The portions were generous. We ended up splitting the Jager Schnitzel and an order of spaetzel. It definitely satisfied our craving! The service was very attentive and our server offered other options for after dinner fun! There was also a large party in house when we arrived. Looked like a great place that could handle bigger groups!

    Our server was outstanding. He had amazing wine suggestions and made half portions possible off menu. I will definitely go again and recommend highly. A wonderful variety of delicious flavours.

    Great service. Pierogi also nice for AYCE. Price was right. Friendly staff and great music. Would recommend sitting on the patio if it’s too noisy for you inside (it isn’t)
