The City Tavern has very good food and drinks. They are also reasonably priced to be a downtown Carrollton restaurant. I recommend the chicken. Very seasoned and crispy. At the time I went it was very busy so the service was a tad slow, but that's to be expected I suppose. read more

In need of a place to stop to pick up some food for the family and we came by here for to go. It was a very chill spot and great for Saturday college football. We grabbed a beer while we waited for our food. They have a wide range to choose from for a quick bite or a sandwich. The staff were accommodating and allowed us to hang at the bar while we waited for our food. They answered our questions too about places to go to while in town visiting family! read more

Lovely restaurant, great service and fantastic food, will definitely return , as there are many tvs to watch sporting events

Food was great and awesome service! Loved the atmosphere and location. Suggested friends from Calhoun to go to and give them a try.

Overall good experience it would have been better if the portion sizes were bigger. The place is a little cramped but the chicken was good and the tator tots were crispy. read more

Good place to get a burger. All are fresh made. Relaxed atmosphere. Friendly service. read more

Was here last Sunday evening and the black bean burger was truly inedible. Bun was cold (possibly half frozen), hard and stale. The patty was barely warm; in fact, it wasn't even warm enough to melt the cheese slice thrown on top. I'm guessing they microwaved it for 10 seconds tops. As the one vegetarian option on the menu, I would hope they'd put a little more effort into it. read more

a 2 inch roach literally fell from the ceiling into my friends food. The manager was being so rude to us because we freaked out and that we don't need to be acting like that in a restaurant. And the fact we didn't even get a discount, I will not be eating there ever again because that is disgusting. read more

Great time. Had a couple of draft beers and some kielbasa. It was great Tuesday night 9 pm fun time. Braves one, beer was cold, what's not to love! read more

If I could half a star I would. So bartender, was slow as molasses. He seemed to be more interested in talking to friends then working. Once he did help, service was very slow. After he delivered my beer that was half head....I called him over to dump & pour my beer again. He seem agitated with request. After second pour I ended up with (see pic below). We received food, Tots were cold, burger was cold with ZERO taste. Probably the worst food I have eaten. He asked twice how food was, both times reported food is horrible, only response was "so will this be it?" If it was not for the long drive and being tired, I would have walked out, but we just needed food and bed. I would NEVER go back. read more

Always a great time with good food and great service. The atmosphere is very a city tavern feel. Definitely a place where grabbing a beer and watching the game is an easy decision. read more

We celebrated our son's birthday recently at the City Tavern. The private room upstairs was perfect for our group as it allowed ease of conversation for those attending dinner. Food and service was quick, accurate and flavorful. Now we know why the City Tavern is so popular with our son and his friends from UWG. read more

Food was pretty good, a bit small for the amount of people who were there. Very understaffed and felt bad for the waitress working. But overall a good experience! read more

We had a bridal shower on January 22, 2022 at next door to city tavern. The space was clean and beautiful! We had to do minimal decorating to make it very special. The staff could not have been nicer or easier to work with. They set up the delicious fresh food and kept it up throughout the shower. They provided a lovely bartender to serve us. She was proactive to make sure all guests were served throughout. This was the one of the easiest, lovely, and economical parties I've been associated with. Thank you next door read more

I thought I'd try this for lunch but it was a disappointment. Ordered salads and they were a bit on the pricey side and had such a tiny amount of chicken on them. Don't order the salads if you're hungry. What a cool place though! Next time I'll I'll get the burger and a beer! Keep it sure and simple! read more

Went there because the neighboring restaurants were full. Menu looks better than the food. Orderd wings and they looked like they were from a pigeon. Husband orderd a Philly cheesesteak - pathetic. mostly bread. Needed a microscope to find the meat. Never again. overpriced and terrible food. read more

Food was okay, not my favorite though. Server was a tiny bit rude. Food was fresh, not busy. It took a while to get food, so if you want to go there, but you have a lot to do that day I recommend going somewhere else. But overall the server could've been a little nicer. Otherwise I rate it a 4-5 read more

Great food, great vibe .. friendly staff and owners are awesome really know how to ensure the patrons are satisfied. Must check it out if you're in the local area. read more

To be honest I usually have to see something outstanding to write a great review. The bartender (didn't catch his name. Sunday night January 3, 2021) he was great with our service and everyone around us. The table servers were backed up and people were coming to the bar to order food, he handled it like a pro and made everyone feel welcome. We only had drinks and an order of fried pickles, of which both were great. Enjoyed the pubstyle atmosphere and it was very clean. read more

First, we are regulars, and come in for burgers, wings, tenders, and fries, which are very good. They serve tater tots too which are a nice option to fries, which are also good by the way. We also stop by for a shot of bourbon or a cocktail on certain nights. On occasion though, we will mistakenly order something like the "Chicken Philly", which turned out to be a snack size teaser sandwich made on a split dinner roll. It is like some rip off food you would get at Disney; had like a tablespoon of chicken or less on the whole sandwich. Now I understand that some fare is portioned slightly larger than others, but when a "Philly", which incidentally was coined to be a large succulent sandwich rich with meat, onions and cheese, comes out and the sandwich sides are similar in size to the ProV1 golf ball I been knocking around all day, I can't accurately say that It should be served as a meal. Perhaps move it to the starter menu. Guys, look; we love you, and want to come back frequently, but please have some standards for the sizes of your sandwiches, and if you already do, please train your staff to only serve it if it meets your standards. We know times are tough, but Cheap and Chincy little Phillys don't fly n this town..... If you are eating here, do one thing...... Ask about the portion size of EVERYTHING before you order, and save yourself the aggravation. read more

Female owner is extremely rude and yelled at me to "get the f out" while I was walking out of the restroom. I guess the lights had just came on and they were closing but there was still tons of people in there. I got caught of guard by someone talking to me like this and asked why she was talking to me like that and asked who she was and she kept dropping f bombs at me telling me to "get the f out" and that's "she's the fing owner of this restaurant" I have no clue why anyone would talk to a paying costumer like that read more

This place is the definition of, "I could eat here. But will I get food poisoning?" The answer is (sadly) yes, you probably will. The food is overwhelmingly unimpressive. The menu is full of average, unoriginal bar food. The salads are weirdly gray, burgers desperately underseasoned and very dry, chicken is soggy. At least one friend has gotten sick after eating here (yikes). The one benefit of going here is that -- since the bar is in the heart of a college town -- the drinks are hella cheap. I generally do not eat and stick to the $4 gin and tonics. They also offer ultra cheap beers -- think $1 Natty Light, and other watery budget beers. There's a large area upstairs for groups. The bar itself is smallish, and there's only a few booths. Service is hit or miss. You oftentimes have to ask two or three times for something before they finally bring it to you. read more

Poor excuse for a pub. Hardly any meat on the hoagie. A few fries. Poor service from teenage girls with no concept of service. Not good food! read more

Don't bother going. Rude employees. Rude manager. Rude owner. Food is just ok. Many other fabulous restaurants on the square.

Tried for the first time today. Food was not good. The bartender and other cross-eyed man employee stood at the end of the bar loudly talking about other employees from the previous day and complained constantly about them and then made fun of the customers. Terrible. read more

Called in a to go order and had to call twice for them to answer and once they did they were very rude on the phone. Picked up the food and it was cold and basic. Extremely overpriced for what you get definitely do not recommend. read more

NEGATIVE RATINGS! TWO THUMBS DOWN !!! ASSAULTED CUSTOMER....If I could give City Tavern and the owner negative ratings I would , two thumbs down !!! This place and the owner is a complete joke and extremely disrespectful to there paying customers. Me and a friend came into City tavern for a beer , which we enjoyed! Me and my friend were completely minding our business as the bar was shutting down we were exiting the door along with everybody else leaving the bar when a bouncer out of nowhere grabs me by the back of my vest and drags me outside and throws me into the road where I sustained an neck injury. I was completely thrown off guard and had no idea why I had just been thrown into the road!!! Me and my friend which is female literally have no idea till this day as to why the bouncer put his hands on me. The owner of the bar was standing outside and saw the whole thing, so I calmly approached him telling him what happened and why he has bouncers just assaulting people for no reason, all he had to say was "tough luck , Fine me". The only act that I regret is not filling a police report as soon as the incident happened. BOTTOM LINE .this place blows. do no go read more

Rich's Sliders are a winner!! Whatever is in that homemade dipping sauce, I'd take a gallon of it to go! Friendly staff and great location.

Here we are February of 2021 and a pandemic still killing people. This restaurant is taking no precautions at all. Tables close, every table taken, no social distancing, and not a single employee with a mask! Really!!! read more

My wife and I were out in Carrollton doing some shopping and I was hungry. Since I was playing chauffeur while she shopped I got to choose lunch. I wanted a good burger and a beer. I was not disappointed. We ordered fried pickles to start. They arrived quickly and were very good. Crispy and good flavor. I ordered a pimento bacon cheeseburger and my wife ordered a chicken BLT. Both sandwiches were very good. My burger came with tater tots and my wife got fries. Our waitress was slammed because the bar was pretty full and she apparently was the only server plus the bartender. She did a great job despite being so busy. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area read more

One of my favorite places in Carrollton with great burgers, appetizers, beer selection, & atmosphere. The wait staff is very friendly and attentive. Always have a great experience when I come here. Plenty of TV's for watching sports! read more

Seems like a good bar. Chicken finger sliders with tots were quite good. I'm not from around here and was not even aware that it's a college town of sorts. On this Wednesday night in July, the only other patrons were preppie college guys with a few gals mixed in. It my scene at all, but probably is for many others. Place is clean. Staff accommodated my food order even though the kitchen was almost closed for the night. read more

Great interior layout and design, well-apportioned/ reasonably priced menu items, and a strong alcohol selection. I highly recommend City Tavern's wings and burgers. When I set out to the square in the evenings, I find myself drawn over to City Tavern more and more for their consistency and general atmosphere. I find the service to range from average to excellent, depending on what night I visit, though the kitchen is always on top of things. Even on a busy night, I'd be hard pressed to think the kitchen wait-times would not be satisfactory for even the most impatient and unaware customers. This bar has really grown on me over the last few years, and their quality has only improved with time. read more

Good food, but they need to work on hiring better quality staff. We've been eating there once a week for a few months. As I was going to the restroom, overheard our waitress complaining about having to wait on us (we were the only customers in the place), so I am not really sure what else she had to do. She called us fat a$$es and complained about what we ordered. No worries. City Tavern doesn't have to worry about me bothering them again. I will take my money somewhere else. Again, good food, but watch out for the staff's negative attitude. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. Worst lunch ever. When we first arrived there was only one other table there. This was good because we knew we had to get back to work in an hour. It took our waitress quite a while to even take our order. When she finally did we let her know when we needed to leave to get back to work. Then we waited.....Finally, asked her to have the food boxed so we could take it with us and to go ahead and give is our checks. She said ok and walked off. 15 more minutes pass, still no check. The food finally comes out boxed up without the checks. She had to go back to get them. I have NEVER left a restaurant without tipping, but today changed that. On the way back to work I started eating since I was not driving. The food was COLD! It was obvious it sat for a while before it was brought out. City Tavern, you will never see me again! read more

I was excited when this place opened, and have been more and more disappointed on each of the 3 visits. Keep in mind I am a reasonable and happy person, and LOVE the majority of dining experiences I have. I would much rather write a positive review than a negative one. Simply put, it is obvious this place is run by someone who knows nothing about the restaurant business. The servers are consistently uninterested In anything but their phones and their college friends, the menu is uncreative, it's obviously all pre-battered frozen crap, the burgers are bland and not cooked properly (3 burgers, all ordered medium well and ranged from rare (sent back) to hockey puck. The bartenders on all 3 visits were apparently all starting their first ever bartending shift, providing weak drinks and lousy pours, with one girl chatting with other servers for several minutes before pouring our beers. When my wife returned her burger for being almost raw, the server was annoyed and unapologetic, showed it to the manager (maybe owner) who looked at us, rolled his eyes and could care less. The same burger was thrown back on the grill, burnt to a crisp and returned to us with a finger hole in it. The server put the plate in front of my wife and said "here" and pulled out her phone and walked away. No apology, no checking in.... I am usually a very good tipper, but if you plan on eating here make sure you have two pennies with you. read more

Went for a group lunch on a Sunday afternoon. It was later and not too busy. Service was great. Food was ok. I had the Rise and Shine burger which is basically a cheeseburger with a fried egg. The bun wasn't anything special and the burger was undercooked and a bit greasy. Tots were tots. I'd try it again but will try other places first. read more

I enjoyed the food. Brook was very speedy, polite, and attentive. We only waited about 7 minutes for our food and she checked on us repeatedly while we were there. The food was very fresh and hot. Great experience! read more

Well, you could just say, "Eh, it's pub food, how good could it be?," but the Irish Bred Pub just down the street absolutely beats the Tavern in terms of the burgers and wraps/sandwiches. It may be that the beer selection and mules here are appealing. However, service was pretty rough (had to ask for silverware, water, ketchup, etc. repeatedly). Two servers were tag-teaming our table on a not-crowded night, and it was still spotty. I'm not necessarily motivated to go there again. It was all around meh. read more
