    Squash Soup
    Mary M.

    I have come for dinner here the last 2 years for both Halloween Weekends and Holiday Nights (aka in October and December). Both events are so much fun. The staff of Eagle Tavern does a good job of getting us all into the atmosphere of the Tavern and what we would've expected in the 1850s as far as food and service goes. Eagle Tavern is completely able to handle my gluten free requirements even during these 2 huge events. Most of the food that is provided are gluten free. The one major exception is the dessert course. For the last 2 years, during both events, the dessert has been an Apple crisp. It has been made of apple pie filling with an oatmeal crisp on tip. If anything, it has looked better then what the main dessert has been. During the events, there is a bar available for people to purchase a drink or 2. Each time there has been 2 custom alcoholic drinks and one non-alcoholic. The prices have been reasonable. There is also always a show along with the dinner. Normally it has just been the "travelers " working to earn their dinner. The 2 fall events are always fun. I will definitely be back for them in the future

    We were concerned about finding good food while attending the OCF this year. The Eagle Tavern, built in 1831-32 and moved later the Greenfield Village solved that issue. It was a bigger meal than we were looking for, but that allowed us to skip dinner and have ice cream later. We had a 15ish minute wait that went by quickly because of all of the gorgeous cars that were there. Seated 8 to a table gave us a chance to make new friends while we waited for our meal. They unfortunately had run out of the pork with horseradish sauce, but that allowed my second choice of beef with tomatoes. My wife had the trout. Both were served with corn on the cob and potatoes. The corn was delicious, well the whole meal was. I want to go back someday to try the pork now. The inside has light thru the windows and candles on the table, to recreate what it was like in the first half of the 1800's, the staff is dress in period correct clothing. The only thing out of place are the patrons dressed in modern clothes with our cell phones! The tavern is one part of a larger, spectacular village that Henry Ford had the vision and wherewithal to create with the historical fabric of our young nation. Everyone should experience this place at least once and be grateful, we have it.

    Located within Greenfield Village at the Henry Ford Museum (separate admission prices), the restaurant emulates an eatery in 1850, right down to decor, menu, service and costumes. My partner had the roasted chicken and thoroughly enjoyed it. I wasn't that hungry, so ordered the smallest thing on the menu, a charcuterie platter, which was very good, high quality, even included venison sausage. Chased it down with a *very strong* "sasparilla" which was delicious. It's the only venue we tried in the park, there are several other choices.

    First of all, their hours are when Greenfield village is open, Tuesday through Sunday starting at 11. They close at 3. I am posting the current menu, which changes in June for the summer and in September for the fall. This is one of the best restaurants you'll ever eat in. They serve an appetizer dish with all entrees, which is currently pickles, and bread, butter, and jelly. They can make most entrees gluten free, and they have gluten free blueberry muffins! They have kosher/halal meats and vegetarian entrees as well. The kids menu is separate and you can ask for it. You eat at common tables so you may enjoy dinner with people from around the world. The room is open and looks like an inn from the turn of the century. The entrees are always wonderful, as is the soup. Salads are available too, but we don't often get those. The servings are very generous and both the bread bowl and the appetizers are all you can eat. We had the chicken and the roast pork, both gluten free and both delicious. The side carrots were not too soft, and the potatoes were well seasoned. The jelly for the breads is not to be missed! We also loved the pickles with onions. We love the Eagle Tavern and have never had a bad meal there.

    I've always wanted to experience a meal at the Eagle Tavern. This past Halloween (season), I decided to take the plunge and do it. Because of Covid restrictions, they only accepted parties of six or more. Being a group of four, I had to find another couple to join us in order to make this happen. I found some friends and booked us a table at the 6:00 seating. The experience was underwhelming. I'm not sure if my expectations were too high, but for $60/person (tickets were $81.25, but included entrance to the village for Halloween), I certainly expected more. Activities - The description mentioned parlor games, spooky stories, fortune-telling, music and surprises. One of those five things actually happened. There was a strolling violinist who played music before dinner, which was quite enjoyable. As far as "parlor games", perhaps they meant for the skeletons that were set up in the parlor of the building (see photo). The evening's host was a lovely man, who came over and shared one funny story with our table, but there were no spooky stories at all. The fortune teller was non-existent and the only "surprise" was the mediocracy of the food served. Food- I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt here and think perhaps the food was bland because it was prepared in a historical manner. The bottom line, however, is that we felt sick at how much we paid for food we truly did not enjoy. Especially when we asked for more tiny rolls and were told they cooked only enough for one per person. Of everything we ate, only the pumpkin pie and soup were something I'd say were good. Atmosphere - This is where this experience shined. I loved the setup and the historical feel of the room and staff. The candles, place settings and music were enjoyable. Being that this was something we'd always wanted to try, I'm satisfied that we did. I can not, however, say that I would recommend it or do it again. It's really a shame because I feel with a few changes in recipes and following through with activities advertised, this could've been amazing.

    Honestly, this has been on my food bucket list for a couple decades and we finally made it here! It was excellent. Even the kids were surprised how delicious it was. The people greeting you outside are dressed in traditional garb and sell the place by saying eating candle light in the 1850's here and eating in 2023 is next door. While the menu is small and limited we decided to try it, plus the greeters let us know there was actually a kiddy menu with mac and cheese and nuggets and adults do occasionally order off of it, no judgement. But we wanted the authentic experience. It is a little like dining at the Harry Potter restaurants at Universal, oddly enough, gives Hogwarts vibes, we love it! We sat at a community table with one lone candle. The wait staff was dressed in traditional costuming and all very pleasant and accommodating. I started with a Pimm's Cup, which I love and really was what drew me in here since most places do not have that on their menu. It was such a great price! Plus, it was really tasty. I had not know that this was a traditional cocktail of the time. I have been missing out on their delicious cocktails all of this time! The kids got the effervescent strawberry drink. We got the pitcher which was so huge, it took three of us to drink it all plus we had enough for a carry out cup. The kids love that the straws are made out of noodles, that is their favorite thing about this place. I am not sure how authentic the strawberry drink is, but it was refreshing and a great price for large amount. They served delicious rolls and corn bread with butter and bread and butter pickles. So good! Then we got the cold meats and cheese charcuterie plate. It was pork and venison with pickled eggs, mustard, and crispy bread. Very good. We tried the dumplings with peas and onions and corn on the cob. So good! I could eat that every week it was so good. That greeter outside told us to try the fish. It was trout and insisted it was the best trout we would ever try. He was right! It was perfectly cooked with potatoes and corn. I loved all of the choices. They do offer carryout container, since there is a lot of food. Lastly one child really wanted to get the pie, so we split the peach pie slice with fresh whipped cream. It was so good, even the crust was flavorful. Overall a top notch experience. If you are a member, they do discount the meal minus the cocktail. So it was worth going. This is a must do experience at least once, I highly recommend. Tons of fun!

    White fish with veggies & potatoes. Very good!

    We love this place! They really make you feel like you were back in the 1800s, with every detail. The food was actually very good contrary to what you might think, being in a touristy place. I ordered the white fish with vegetables and potatoes- delicious! They serve cornbread and bread with butter, which was very good. They have a large variety of drinks, including old-fashioned sarsaparilla. I would definitely recommend stopping by for lunch!

    Squash soup was good.  Should've stopped there
    Mark P.

    Solid four stars for hospitality and immersive experience but the food wasn't very good to be honest. While I did enjoy the squash soup and the complements like the interesting bread, dallop of butter and preserves, and pickles, the roast was so tough I actually complained about it which is something I really don't often do, maybe once or twice every two or three years. To their credit, they did bring me another serving which was better but it still was fairly rough. I would have been happier with a few beers and the soup and maybe some of the side items but I found the roast to be a complete waste of good money. You come here for the experience I suppose because it's still enchanting even with a mouthful of gristle.

    Asparagus soup - tasted like chicken soup with a touch of asparagus. It was very good.

    I've been a Henry Ford Museum member for most of my life, which means I've tried all of their restaurants many times over. Eagle Tavern is always my preference to take visitors to or simply to enjoy a nice meal. Yes, it's a little pricey, but it's really quite reasonable given it's a table service restaurant at a major attraction. And the quality and service are always quite excellent. Everything is homemade and they try their best to use authentic recipes of the time. I highly recommend the soups, which are usually quite excellent. On my last trip, I tried the roast chicken, which came with a half chicken covered in a nice creamy sauce, along with green beans and potatoes. The portion size was huge, the chicken was very moist and the sauce was delicious. Keep in mind the time period for the food - you're not going to find highly spiced food here - most of the options will be relatively bland but usually well prepared. All the meals are served with a bread bowl that includes rolls, corn muffins and blueberry muffins, along with fresh butter and a seasonal jam. They also serve bread and butter pickles and sometimes other pickled vegetables complimentary. Service is usually excellent, and was especially good on my last visit. They don't mind if you only order soup. Seating is communal at tables that seat eight. They will usually try to give you a table on your own unless seating starts filling up, then another party may be sat at your table - usually one party at either end.j

    Vino & Vibes absolutely lives up to the name. Can I give this place 10 stars??…read more First off, the food was amazing. Everything tasted super fresh and the menu leans more "snacky" in the best possible way -- perfect little plates that are clearly meant to pair with wine. We ordered a few things for the table and it felt like the kind of place where you just keep ordering one more thing because everything sounds good. Nothing heavy, just really well done bites that let the wine shine. Speaking of wine, the selection is awesome. It's not the usual predictable restaurant list. There are some really interesting bottles and styles on there, which makes it fun if you actually enjoy trying different wines instead of just defaulting to the same thing every time. Service was great too. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming, and you can tell the owners are really hands-on and working hard to make the place special. That always makes a difference. And the ambiance... chef's kiss. Moody lighting, cozy, stylish but not pretentious. Just good vibes all around. It's the kind of spot you want to linger at with friends and a second bottle of wine. Already planning my next visit :)
