Towson Tavern is a marvelous restaurant. Unfortunately oversight on a crucial & busy day ruined our experience. The Taverns website displayed a Mothers Day brunch menu, apparently inaccurate, & the actual menu was buffet, displayed on their FB page. After pointing this out, there was little accountability on Towson Taverns part, other than from a busy bartender that apologized. The buffet was lackluster, at best, for $43 per person. Sausage patties and scrambled eggs, at an upscale location? I was told “well we have crab balls and prime rib” and that their prices reflected comparable locations nearby. If only the restaurant wanted to excel above others, not just price like others then figure out how to make the most profit by offering a small buffet with mediocre options. I’ll never visit again, when two plates made to order may have mended the entire concern.

We tried three apps, cream of crab, crab dip and the surf and turf app. The soup is far too salty for our liking and that’s just a personal preference to us. The crab dip and surf and turf app was fantastic. I would go back to try other meals and the staff was very attentive.

First time there and last time. Food came out cold. Restaurant was not crowded so our food should have been prepared correctly. Waiter asked what we want to do with the food like we’re going to eat cold food. They brought my steak out with a butter knife like I can really cut into a steak with a butter knife. The drinks were watered down. I had a dry cesar salad. When it was time to pay our bill they notice it was a business card they wanted to talk with us and called us by the name over top of the business name on the card. We will never go back

Our latest Valentine's day experience was not as good as previous meals. The kitchen must have been overwhelmed by the larger than average crowd. I had to remind the server about my salad after my husband had finished his appetizer. I asked for the prime rib to be medium rare, instead to was medium well done. A huge chunk of meat that had no jus or sauce, and potatoes that were dry. You can't really send back a steak that is overdone, and I did not want to wait another 30 minutes for another plate. My dinner was basically a salad (though that was very good)

The food was extraordinarily bad. The truffle soup was straight salt. The oysters were bad enough to tell the server not to recommend them to anyone in the restaurant as they may make someone sick. The crab cake was mostly filling but it was seasoned well. The prime rib was overly salted and over cooked. The hassle back potato was just a baked potato with 3 slices in it and the “broccolini” was actually just undercooked broccoli stalk. Management never popped by to ask about the oysters. To top it off, we were seated by a door that shouldn’t have been used but was continually opened much to the chagrin of our entire section since it was freezing outside. The wine list could use a revamp with only a few old world selections. This was likely the worst $180 I’ve spent in Baltimore.
