    Fish and chips
    Carl S.

    Very quaint pub like restaurant and bar that is enchanting. Feels like an establishment you would see in London. The Hand cut fries are great. The sandwich and salads were delicious. The fried seafood options were very good and very plentiful. The cheesecake options were good to finish the evening. The staff were friendly and accommodating. You've got to try the fried green beans for appetizer too. They were amazing.

    Staff were friendly and the food was decent. Nothing crazy and definitely a little expensive for what you got. The tavern itself though was really cute and rustic feeling.

    Pros: the service was excellent and the food to table time was fast. Everything tasted good. We also enjoyed the corn cob rib appetizer. Cons: the table for 6 of us felt squished as we were tucked in the front window. The prices were really high. The black & bleu burger didn't taste like it had any blackened seasoning and the bleu cheese didn't have much flavor either.

    Awesome local spot with a wide array of menu items to choose from. They are open for breakfast and lunch and I heard from several regulars that the steaks were great! We stopped in for a quick drink and ordered the candied bacon. The drinks were made well and the bacon had good flavor but was cold and may have sat in the grease for a little longer than needed. The staff were friendly and the restaurant would be perfect for a date night. Overall, a good experience!

    Half of the monte cristo sandwich and one of the jalapeno poppers
    Felicia S.

    Stopped in for dinner after a long drive into the area. Best monte cristo ever according to my husband and son. I loved the burger and even though the jalapeno poppers weren't what I was expecting they were absolutely fabulous! Fries and potato salad also superb flavor!! New favorite place to stop!

    Brunch BLT with beer cheese

    Came here today for lunch after car shopping !! What a neat gem in the heart of Hendersonville. I kept glancing over at what everyone else was ordering and everything looked amazing. We ordered off the brunch menu--we loved what we ordered. I would come back again!

    Perfectly cooked medium burger!!!!

    We had to go back! Amazing burgers! So good! On our list of must go when in Hendersonville. Our 2nd time there and waitress remembered us. So friendly

    Great food, nice ambiance and friendly staff. We have had a couple of nice lunches, only downside is it's a bit pricey.

    Is the restaurant pet friendly?

    Too small inside.. but has two tables outside to accommodate pet

    Do you take reservations?

    Unfortunately since we are too small we cannot take reservations. However you can call ahead to see what the wait times usually are.

Our water and drinks were empty multiple times. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming and extremely overpriced, especially for Hendersonville. I ordered the banh mi and wouldn't recommend it. The small sandwich was overwhelmed with mayo and lacked the traditional Vietnamese flavors I was expecting. To make matters worse, it was $18 and didn't even come with a side which felt unreasonable. For that price, I would much rather dine at Postero across the street. The restaurant asked if we were celebrating anything, and we mentioned a major accomplishment for our friend. While the waitress acknowledged it several times which was kind it was disappointing to learn that there was no complimentary dessert or gesture. At that point, repeatedly bringing it up felt unnecessary. Given the high reviews, I expected a much better experience. Unfortunately, I don't see myself returning.

    We were in town and stopped by! Renegade Sirloin was cooked perfectly medium, was fall apart…read moretender, and seasoned to perfection. I orderd fries which were thick, crispy, and hot! My salad was cold crisp, amd topped with plenty of tomatoes, and egg half, croutons, and cheese. The service was fast, friendly, our glasses were kept full by Raina, and as we left we were thanked by all the staff that saw us. You c ant ask for more. The outside of the restaurant has been updated since we were there last which is good because I dinged them in the past to it being shabby. I love the new mural on the outside of the building amd the new waiting benches.

While I understand that a lunch sirloin may not be the highest cut of meat, the New York Strip at that price point should have been a quality cut. Unfortunately, both steaks were excessively fatty and full of gristle. We each left more than half of our meals uneaten because the meat was simply not enjoyable. The potatoes, however, were good. Our waitress was polite and accommodating, but she never once asked how our meal was. It almost felt as though she avoided asking, perhaps to avoid hearing feedback. Binion's has been a long-standing restaurant in the area, and we've enjoyed many meals there over the years. It had been quite some time since our last visit, and unfortunately, after this experience, it may be quite some time before we return.

    I was in town working for a week, and was looking for a sports bar. Yelp suggested Tartans Sports…read moreBar, so I gave it a shot, and I'm glad I did. TV's are everywhere. NFL Ticket during the football season. Always something to watch. I am a fan of the wings and the cheeseburger, VERY good food. More on the menu to enjoy. Bottled & canned beer (no beer taps), wine and liquor are available. To top it off, the owner is a gentleman, a real class act His name is Jaime Douglas, and his bar is outstanding! I found out that he and I were both down in Orlando at UCF in the early '90s, and it's hard not to think of how small a world it really is. Go to Tartan's have a drink, get some grub and tell Jaime that YELP was right; his business rocks!!

    If I could leave 0 stars I would for the following…read more On March 19 my family and I decided to have dinner at Tartans Sports Bar (Our former favorite spot in Hendersonville for chicken wings) We called the restaurant to pre order our wings. On this day it was the 50Cent wing night, so it seemed like it was busy. The girl that is in the middle of this photo answered the phone and proceeded to tell me they did not take orders over the phone if we were just picking up I then told her this order was to eat at the restaurant we were just going to pre order as we were a little short on time so I thought it was easier to order ahead of time to arrive, eat and go on about our day. She proceeded to take my order by saying "ok what do you want" during this conversation she said "you just need to get over here" I kind of laughed it off and thought she was just a little busy and I understand when people are busy, they tend to get rude without actually meaning to. I proceeded to give her my order, the entire time of our conversation she was very rude and unprofessional. Once we arrived, we could not get anyone to acknowledge we had arrived. The other waiters seen on this photo were walking past us as we stood at the door waiting to be seated. We spotted a table that was open outside, so we decided to sit there, my husband went up to the waiter on the left and told her we had placed an order over the phone and letting her know where we were seated. She just nodded her head and walked away. We waited for approx. 40 Mins to be acknowledged. No one ever came to ask us if we wanted a drink or what we were doing there. I decided to go ask the bartender if they knew we were there (the girl seen on the right) she said, "I remembered the girl taking the order over the phone, but we are super busy so we all really don't know what's going on here." I then asked the other girl seen on the right if she had notified our waiter we were there, and she shook her head no and said I don't know and walked off. This same waiter walked outside several times and asked all the other tables how everyone was and completely ignored my table with my husband my 3 children and me. Finally, after about 1 Hr. and young man came out with our food and noticed we had no drinks. He asked if we would like something to drink and we told him we would love that. Mind you this was not his job he was just delivering the food for the young lady seen in the middle of this photo. She was not seen the entire night up until we were ready to leave. I was very grateful for this young man who was actually the only one out of all the staff to acknowledge we were actually there. This place was absolute chaos. He was on it the entire night delivering food to other tables that were not even his own and filling drinks as well as tending to his tables. When we were done eating, we waited to see if our waiter was going to bring us the bill after about 20 mins I had to go to the bar and tell them to bill us please after being ignored all night we were ready to leave. I have never been treated so poorly at a restaurant with my children in my life. I really don't like that my children had to experience this as well. It was a very negative and impactful experience for them. She finally decided to come out and give me the bill. I proceeded to tell her the way she treated us from the moment we spoke on the phone was very rude and unprofessional, I am a very understanding person. She should have just said no I rather you all come in have a seat then orders, and I would have been ok with that. Instead, she rudely took my order and decided to ignore us while we were there including the rest of the staff except the kind gentlemen mentioned earlier, Rory I believe was his name. I have sent a message to their FB page waiting to hear from the owner Jaime and have yet to hear from him. Although my family and I have always enjoyed their chicken wings we refuse to support a business that is ok with treating their customer so poorly. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
