Tavern 42

This restaurant/bar has had several different owners, but the current owner/manager has taken the establishment to another level! There's a GREAT atmosphere and it is very welcoming! The menu offers a large variety dishes that are AMAZING!!! There is an outdoor patio, large bar, and a separate dining room that can host large groups. On Friday nights, they have live music. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone!!!

Excellent local tavern! The food is to die for and the staff is very courteous. The meals are moderately priced. To be honest, if the food was more costly it wouldn't stop me from eating there. If you ever find yourself on the corner of SR 42 and SR 257 you must stop and have a beer and a bite. I promise, you won't regret it.

We have been coming to tavern 42 for years and have always enjoyed their food. Recently it has severely declined and we were just there and ordered appetizers and they were cold, I advised the waiter and he took them back but the atmosphere was such a turn off we just finished our drinks and left. The chef was walking around and came to our table asked my husband if he wanted another beer, but not once apologized or acknowledged the cold food. The whole reason we returned is the one bartender was great but going forward we will not go there. The owners sit there nightly and watch their staff suffer when they're busy, as an owner you would think to help your own staff and the cook needs to go as well. The old cook rocked. Its unfortunate.

We ate dinner here last Tuesday with a group. We were given a nice, private room. Service was handled by Jess and was excellent, especially considering the size of the group. I had a Ruben sandwich which was excellent. The corned beef was lean, tender, and not at all stringy. And there was plenty of if! Overall it our experience at Tavern 42 was great!

I moved into the area and needed a dependable restaurant ,my first experience with them was the chefs choice steak...I requested it as medium rare, when I picked it up it was less than pathetic- lump of over cooked thin beef, but apparently now there’s a new chef there because every order I make is absolutely perfect my hot wings are always hot and cooked Through and the gumbo is always just right and everything that I have ever order from there since then is always delicious and amazing. Get the gumbo and ribs...you will be happy!

This used to be our family’s go to place but the last few times we went, the food wasn’t very good, or the order was wrong. Service has been extremely slow. For example last Wednesday evening, it was about 6:30 but not very crowded. There were three of us. My spinach salad was supposed to have chicken (it didn’t even though the server took the order correctly) and the spinach had 1 inch stems on it that I pulled off; my son’s wrap was not supposed to have tomato ( it did, although again, the server took the order correctly), and my husbands French dip, which was excellent came with chips that seemed to come from the bottom of the batch. Server never verified that what came out of kitchen was correct. I asked the server to deduct the chicken and the bill came with the chicken in it. Without us saying anything, server told us that kitchen is really small and that a bunch of people came in at once. Not sure where all those people were hiding. We were there for an hour and 45 min that night. The time before on the first Saturday in April, my husband and I both ordered prime rib; I ordered 8 oz and he ordered 12 oz. They were both 8 oz, both with a large portion of inedible fat and gristle. Bill came with charge for 8 oz and 12 oz Brought the size issue up to server who corrected the bill. Service was crazy slow then too. Sad to say this isn’t our go to place anymore😪

We have been here a few times with our family and tonight they had put their best foot forward... Our server Sam was the best she took our drink order, helped get the kids settled down and even took the time to explain all the different burgers to the boys! We will definitely be returning thanks to this amazing young woman. Might I say the food was just as equal and should be attributed to the 5 stars!
