If you go to Afton Tavern you have to try the bacon cheese fries! They use waffle fries drenched with cheese and bacon. With a side of ranch - AMAZING! And that is just an appetizer! Love their tavern tenders also! Stop by and give them a try. So GOOD! read more

Today my husband and I stopped in for lunch, and unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. This used to be one of my favorite spots, but the past few visits have really gone downhill. We ordered a to-go meal for our son and were assured it would come out toward the end of our meal. Instead, it was delivered to our table before our own food even arrived and by the manager, no less. I even commented, "Wow, our to-go before our meal," but he just looked at me. No apology, no offer to keep it warm, remake it, nothing. Meanwhile, the couple next to us waited over an hour for a turkey sandwich. They were not happy with their experience either. On top of that, one of the wait staff kept skipping the entire time....literally skipping through the dining room, which felt unprofessional and uncomfortable to watch. As for the food, my salad was excellent, as always (the one consistent highlight), but my husband's breakfast was ice cold... eggs, hash browns, and French toast. He left most of it on his plate it was that bad. Sadly, we won't be back for brunch, at least not for a while. I hope they can work out these service and quality issues, because this place used to be so much better. read more

I only come for the burgers and bacon cheese fries. both are always so good! Service can be a little slow sometimes.

Loved this quaint tavern in a sweet little town. Our server Katie (sp?) was EXCELLENT. Super friendly, helpful, efficient, sweet. Popped by to see if we needed anything several times, recommended the skillet cookie dessert and she was not wrong! read more

Afton Tavern - BEST COOKIES EVER - American Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

Afton has been making a comeback. Back in the day Afton was THE spot to eat and see everyone you knew in town. It slipped a bit when the owners were opening other restaurants and the business was left a bit unattended. But we recently have come back and have not been disappointed with the service or the food. Im so happy to see it's back to being in our rotation. I will however, warn anyone with sensory issues, they use some kind of cleaner on their tables that the inside restaurant smells extremely strong of this cleaner. But they do have a large patio seating area which is smell free. read more

I enjoyed my visit to Afton Tavern. We went during lunch time, had no problem with parking, and we were sat pretty quickly. The restaurant is pretty big. The outdoor patio has lots of seating, fans, and a fireplace. The bar area was a nice size with a few high top tables. The dining room was pretty big as well, with a rather large private area. I also appreciate the mix of booths and traditional tables. The menu has a good variety of dishes. I tried the Balsamic Glazed chicken with Sweet Potato Fries and broccoli. I greatly underestimated how many mushrooms and onions would be included. Nonetheless, I liked the chicken. The fries were my favorite though. Our waitress was fine. Not memorably friendly or anything, but nice and the service was fast. Final note, this is a family friendly restaurant. They have the basic kids menu items. read more

The food is always yummy and you must always get a cookie skillet!! I feel like they never put enough cheese on the bacon CHEESE fries and service usually takes so long. read more

Cozy little pub. The area is nice and I love the fireplace outside! Inside has a lot of seating! Our server was very nice. I ordered the cosmo and it was ok. It was good for the price but nothing special. For my meal, I got the steak philly with fries. The fries were really good and crunchy! The cheese steak was a little bland. I wish it had more spices and seasonings or a stronger cheese on top. The cookie skillet was really good!! I loved the warm and gooey cookies with the ice cream on top! Overall, the food was ok but I would come back for the cookie skillet! read more

Really poor customer service. We waited 30min to get served and when we didn't, we approached the manager to let him know we weren't served. We said we were going to the bar instead. Not once did he say he was comp a drink or do anything for the inconceivable or incompetence. read more

I love this place. My very favorite thing is there buffalo chicken wrap. You can get it with double the meat!

I've been eating out at Afton Tavern for years . Last night I ate there again and was terribly disappointed. I ordered aReuben sandwich . It was the worse Reuben I have had anywhere. The meat ,I think it was corn beef, but hard to tell since it was burned beyond recognition. There was hardly any sauerkraut and Russian dressing on it. Everything was overcooked. Not sure what is going on there. I've ordered the Reuben before when eating here and it was delicious. read more

Food made me and my girlfriend feel like we needed to throw up and the chips and fries were stale.

Super cute restaurant, I like the outdoor patio. In my opinion the food isn't very good, the best thing they have is probably the cookie skillet. read more

Great place with a little bit of something for everyone! Great to catch up with friends in the bar area, meet the family out for dinner or to reserve their private event space. Some of my favorites are the chips, burger, black bean burger and all their salads are great! Great options for kids! read more

Our family group of 6 went for lunch on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and had a delightful experience. The kids got grilled cheese and chicken fingers (of course), and both were good, although the chicken could have been just a bit crispier. My daughter and I got the bean burger, which is a soft, very 'beaney' burger, but quite tasty! It is served on a big, soft bun, with a mound of condiments. My son-in-law got the club, which was a mound of deliciousness that he thoroughly enjoyed. My wife went a completely different direction and got the shrimp kabobs, which was a bargain at $14, and a mound of veggies, rice, and shrimp. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food, and the service was great! We sat on the patio, so the bartender was our server. She brought 'to-go' cups with refills, so we could top off all our drinks as needed, she checked in regularly and made sure we had the necessary condiments, to-go boxes, and everything else we needed. The restaurant was clean and there were TV's on the patio for those who want to watch whatever sports are on. Overall, a very good experience! read more

Ok so first impressions weren't great. Both my and my daughter's silverware were dirty and needed to be replaced. The waiter was a little slow at first in his service but got better towards the end of the meal. Little things like bringing out plates with a shared appetizer were overlooked. That being said, the food and drink were outstanding. There was a decent variety of draft beer available and the house salad was delicious and fresh. The fish and chips I ordered came in a generous portion and malt vinegar, which I consider a must for fish and chips, was readily available. I wasn't able to even finish my meal due to the size of it which is a definite plus. I would definitely like to come back and give them a second chance. read more

The menu says a large portion of ny style cheesecake topped with fresh strawberries. No strawberries, small amount of syrup, regular portion size missing some of the bottom crust. read more

This place needs an update food was average nothing special. The bloody Mary's had a weird finish to them and not much flavor. The service was attentive and quick but not worth the cost for an average hamburger and basic salad read more

Very nice atmosphere! Both inside and outside dining available. Parking was good. They offer paper menus and staff are all wearing masks which is great for everyone's safety. The waitress was very prompt in acknowledging us and taking our food & drink orders. I ordered a peach martini which was reasonably priced and tasty along with a BBQ Chicken Flatbread. The food just didn't have an appealing presentation, but it tastes ok which is why I gave an overall 3. The cookie skillet we had for dessert was good. Overall I would return to try another option on the menu. read more

This place is really delicious! Everything I've ever ordered from here has been amazing. You can tell they use fresh veggies and ingredients to make their food. They have a great beer/wine menu as well. The staff is usually very friendly and on top of it, even if they are busy, which they usually are! It's a great spot to grab a bite or a drink with family and friends. They have ample seating both inside and outside as well, with beautiful fireplaces and fairy lights on the patio in the evenings!! The cookie skillet is to die for!!!! read more

Good food and good location. Been eating at Afton since it opened. Parking can be struggle at times so get there early.

Afton Tavern is a local place that we just discovered, and we will definitely be back! We went on a Friday night, and while they were busy, we had a really good time. Our server was young and quiet, but very attentive and if he didn't know the answer, he found out and told us. We started with the house wine and a basket of freshly made chips. The chips were very, very good. For my entree, I ordered the shrimp tacos. I love that you can mix and match your 3 tacos, so I got 2 of them crispy and one of them grilled. They were delicious! My side of broccoli was really good too. My fiance enjoyed his chicken and dumplings soup, as well as his build-your-own burger. We were able to sit outside and have a wonderful time. read more

Food and service were ok. We use to go here years ago and it was great. Kinda turned into a bar food thing now and the ware and tear on the place shows in everything. I'll go back but my expectations will be in line with the delivery in the future. read more

The outside terrace was nice but we choose to sit inside. Mistake no. one. Inside atmosphere was dreary and showed wear. Service lacked warmth of any degree from the hostess to the wait staff. They couldn't have cared less that people were there. The food was mediocre and easily available in any casual dining restaurant. The French fries were not fresh and coated in the crispy coating that covers the natural flavor of the potato and leaves one with a salt induced headache. Won't be going back. read more

Super Uninviting & unfriendly service. 10/10 wouldn't recommend. I never got a chance to look at the menu before I turned around and went back to my car... thats how bad the service is read more

Afton Tavern - Worst Restaurant In Charlotte - American Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

Tonight was a night out with the neighbors. They made the call to visit Afton Tavern for dinner. It ended up being a great venue for a night out. We got great service and good food. Even though it was a bit nippy we chose to dine outside. The large stone fireplace was roaring and overhead heaters were exuding enough heat to be comfortable. The tables were distanced far enough apart. the lighting was sufficient. The atmosphere was great. The highlight of the night was our server, Mitch, who did a bang up job of taking care of us. He was prompt to take our orders and follow up multiple times. He took our orders without an order book. He memorized everything we ordered as well as every modification we made. He was great. Yes, our orders came out 100% correct. Our food was good. I got the grilled salmon salad and added avocado. The bleu cheese dressing I got with it was delicious. Two of my party ordered Burgers with sides of chips and one side of sweet potato fries. One person ordered a grilled chicken avocado sandwich. Everyone left happy. We got a few drinks from the bar. I got peach martini that good but slightly too sweet. One person got a dream sickle martini. It was better than my drink. Two people selected beers from their vast selection of national and local beers. The bar did good. My only suggestion to the restaurant is to get their sanitation grade up. They have too of a thing going to carry a 93.0 sanitation grade. read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE All I can say is this place doesn't even deserve 1 star. Will never come here again! We walked in at 8pm on a Tuesday night, there were a few people inside and outside. We decided to sit indoors, well firstly the hostess seemed attentive at first., but once we were seated that's when you realized you must have been seated at a high school dinner party. These teenagers were running around in and out of doors walking past us and everything.. sat there for 15 mins nobody even asked us if we would like anything to drink, I seen the hostess come around to seat a male; until we realized she was seating herself with the meal to have dinner & a waitress immediately walked up to them asking do you want anything to drink? Are you ready to order.. meanwhile we are sitting there like w.t.f. I told my partner, let's leave. As soon as we got up one of the teenager waitresses that also walked past us 5 times said have you been helped? We denied and said no thank you. Who is running this place? Your Sanitation Score is disgusting, if you read the violations you will agree not to come here.. I didn't read them until now after I was so disappointed. But never will come back again. Pictures of food might look good online but tbh they just scammers crappy service, food is not what it says it is, failure to properly clean and maintain food temperatures. NO thanks I don't want any sicknesses. read more

Great place! There drinks are good (never disappointed on the bartender's capabilities!) Food is good! Service good! Personable and friendly and great specials during the week. My husband and I frequent , recently we have been bringing our extended family when we get together for a nice gathering! I recommend! Also, if you have gluten allergies they have good options! Yay! read more

Firstly I don't usually write reviews, however I feel like I need to let someone here know about the night I experienced. I've come here quite a few times, and everything's usually good. Last night however we missed the mark. The food was not good and took way to long. Potatoes undercooked, sandwiches where soggy and the veg had "cooked" from the hot meat sitting on it. Others food came out incorrect and had to be remade. As far as service goes it was great always nice people, just spending 100$ on dinner with my family for a birthday on food that wasn't that good kinda killed it. read more

We had a great server tonight, but the food experience was absolutely horrific. My burger was extremely over cooked and burnt, my moms fries were ice cold and our waters had some sort of particles floating in it... which comes from a dirty ice machine. My glass also had dirty residue on the outside of it, almost like hardened food. Again, nothing against our waiter. The kitchen needs some major improvement. I will definitely not be returning after tonight's experience. read more

This place is really going downhill. I ordered the crab dip. It was bland and the portion size was definitely not worth the price. I also ordered an $8 piece of cheesecake with fresh strawberries that was just a sliver with no strawberries at all. I wont be going back. I spent $50 on my meal and it certainly wasn't worth it. read more

Have eaten at several restaurants in this area, and decided to finally visit this one. Outside, the building is very welcoming and even boasts an outdoor fireplace with seating. Upon entering, we waited just a couple minutes until the hostess came to seat us. They weren't busy in the dining area at the time. She was not friendly nor cordial. We were sat at a booth in the back right next to the entrance to the kitchen. After sitting, the pungent aroma of what I can only describe as a "stagnant water smell" was very heavy. We decided to move to another location in the restaurant, and when questioned by our original server, she was very short and rude once i told her the issue that caused it. When getting settled in, it was noticeable she went over to the older woman hostess who was hanging out in their bar area and complained about the situation (both also turned in our direction to look where we were headed to while chatting). Our new server was Bailee, and she was kind about the situation. We ordered Homemade Chips and ranch for an app. It was requested that they be left on the "floppy" side instead of fried hard. When they arrived, it was noticeable that they paid zero attention to the request. They were extremely hard, and verged on the line of being burnt. Both adults ordered The Tavern Burger cooked medium rare (warm red center) and Mac n cheese as well as sweet potato fries as sides. We waited a good bit for our food, and once it arrived and we began eating, we noticed the burgers were well done. At this point we were hungry, so we dealt with it. The flavors were decent. The Mac n cheese is mediocre and so were the sweet potato fries. Our child had the kids chicken fingers with a side of the Mac n cheese as well. The chicken tenders are actually very good, and even better with the BBQ sauce they offer. Our service was okay, but definitely could have been better. To be honest, I doubt we will ever go back. Thy really should work on their customer service skills, update their interior and menu. Then it might be worth a glance. C'est la Vie! read more

We tried Afton Tavern twice now. We will not be returning. They have VERY skimpy portions on their sandwiches forcing you to up charge to add double meat (which by the way is ridiculous) My husband ordered a Ruben with double meat and it came with 2 1/8" thin slices of corned beef for almost $20. If you want a good cocktail this is not the place to go unless you like fruit juice in a martini glass. The only thing giving this review 2 stars is that the servers both times were very good. With all the restaurants a person has to choose from a restaurant. Owner has to understand that you need to serve a plate of food and a cocktail that makes a person want to come back and order it again. We will not be returning to this restaurant. read more

Where do I even begin with describing how embarrassed the ownership, management and staff of Afton Tavern should be. We visited this evening with a party of 8. Restaurant was VERY empty. It took over an hour to get our food, and the server did not check in on us nor offer any apologies for the lengthy delay. When we asked about the delay, the server said "yeah, this isn't the place to come if you're in a hurry." We didn't think waiting over an hour indicated we were in a hurry. We had to ask for the manager twice before he decided to make an appearance and he offered absolutely no apology. The entrees, when received, were wrong for four of us. The food we did receive was not good, the chicken was dry as can be, and many things were luke warm at best. When we got the checks, they had added a 20% gratuity because of the party size. I told the manager that they should be ashamed of themselves for adding that in due to our experience, and he said the system just does that, he can't change it. Lastly, the manager did offer us three cookie skillet coupons for a future visit, but did not have any actual coupons so he had to hand write them. We indicated we would never be back, so he could keep them. Overall, a horrible experience and if this restaurant survives another year, they're lucky. Do yourself a favor and do NOT go here. I will make sure everyone I know is told not to support this joke of a restaurant. read more

The ambience here is nice-if you sit outdoors. We ordered the crab cakes with broccoli and red potatoes. The crab cakes had bouts of salt every other bite, weird. Didn't have a consistent flavor. My broccoli was swimming in water. My friend ordered the same but with Mac and cheese and a side salad. Her Mac and cheese tasted like Kraft, it was not home made. The waiter was awesome, he swapped out her Mac for mashed potatoes. Those weren't any better, they looked and tasted dirty. Strange dinner. I assume if you order bar food ie wings or burger you can't go wrong. ‍ read more
