Didn't realize they had lunch weekdays and brunch on Saturdays. Every time we've gone, we're treated kindly with attentive service. Our most recent visit, Stephanie offered guidance on their sides, shared information on the brunch, and made sure we had a good experience. From the burgers to the shrimp Poboy at lunch, you also have steak and fresh fish options for dinner. The truffle fries are a favorite for our group as well as the pasta specials. If you have a little one, be sure to ask your server if they have any options available for children. They've been very kind to our granddaughter when she's gone along with us and we are grateful. While there is a small bar, it's quaint and cozy and actually holds more than you expect as they're seating near the kitchen. UPDATE: return the next day for the brunch. Had the Nashville hot chicken and waffles. Mic drop!

Positive - Except for the watery, chunky, bitter tasting remoulade sauce, the Po Boy was excellent…read more Large, flavorful shrimp, nice bun, and fries were good. It would have been one of the best ever if not for the remoulade, which appeared to be either homemade (poorly), spoiled, or both. Negatives - Arriving, waiting to be seated, a young man behind the bar (dark hair, beard), glanced our way but never acknowledged us. A young woman finally seated us, and took our drink orders. Friendly, but incompetent. My wife ordered the Club Sandwich, NO AVOCADO, NO TOMATO. I ordered the Po Boy. My wife then asked for some mayo on the side. Since the server wrote down nothing, I then had to repeat my order. Food arrives, my wife's sandwich is loaded down with avocado and tomato. And here's why we will NEVER return. I went to the restroom. It's early, 11:30, only 3 other tables were occupied. The restroom was disgustingly FILTHY. Long ago dried excrement on the bottom of the seat, no toilet paper, and to top it off, NO SOAP in the dispenser, or anywhere. Meaning, employees using that restroom were not sanitizing their hands. Given that, do you want to eat food that's been handled by them? Attractive restaurant, obviously a lot of money invested to renovate it, so unfortunate no one is properly running it.

We ended up talking about this meal all weekend long. Our friends Tyler and Lindsay have come multiple times and they guided us through the menu and what they recommended. We ordered: - house sourdough - chicken liver mousse - sugar baby watermelon salad - pappardelle - duck breast - half chicken x2 Every single thing was amazing! The vibes were cute, the service was great. Such a hidden gem but would absolutely come back to check out other seasonal menus.

Had been long looking forward to a return to Sewanee, particularly to have the opportunity to check…read moreout Judith Tavern. Unfortunately, left pretty disappointed. The space is attractive, though it's far from being any sort of "tavern". It's rather loud, industrial. The worst aspect of the space are the tables for 2, which are small cocktail tables, really sized to hold a couple drinks, not dinner for 2. One is left with the impression that they're more interested in fitting as many diners as possible into the space rather than providing a fine dining experience. So much so that the wait staff apologized for the table size several times. Menu varies with the season, though we found most items on the online "sample" menu were on the dinner menu that night as well. Roasted oysters were plated very attractively, the oysters were plump, and the topping tasty, though several of mine were refrigerator cold - clearly made in advance and not properly heated for serving. Starter of sourdough bread with chili oil. The bread was wonderfully rustic, the chili oil was actually garlic oil. For my main, I had the "signature" trout. Pleasant enough, a nicely cooked filet swimming in a brothy sauce. Accompanied by a few small rounds of potato, what amounted to a single thinly sliced fingerling, I left hungry and considered stopping for a burger on the way home. The wife was underwhelmed with the duck. Kudos for providing an upscale dinner destination in Sewanee. Though not an option that we'd consider revisiting.

The breakfast burrito had sausage in it and the flavors were there. They have tomato gravy which is great (not as good as our family secret recipe) but it felt like home ordering this. Hash cakes are dense but still crispy and airy at the same time. The museum is only $10 so may as well walk around after to let the food settle in and shop at the lodge store which has soooo many options. Will be coming here every time I visit family. Best place to eat on this area! And can't forget the fantastic service we received. The sweetest waitress that new the menu front and back with great recommendations

It has a bright and open welcoming vibe and our server was outstanding, responsive, courteous and efficient. The selection is large and both of our big breakfasts were very tasty and filling. I had the big bad skillet: scrambled eggs, skillet fried red potatoes and all the meats--bacon, ham and sausage. The combination really works! My partner had the Jack Benny, their version of eggs hollandaise but with a nice slice of ham. I also got their biscuit, which others had recommended to me. Huge biscuits are the rage but not really my fav. This one was crumbly but well baked. The blueberry jam gave it a high yummy rating. Know it is a new southern chain but hey this place and location made it feel like you were back home.
