Casual dining - some people were dressed up - I wasn't, but I didn't feel out of place. The Tenderloin meal was recommended, and I'm glad it was. Cooked perfectly. The portion was more than I needed, but I didn't leave hungry. The bill was a bit high, but the experience was great. I'm ok for paying a bit more for this quality. I will probably return when I'm in the area. I recommend this restaurant for an occasional great meal for a very special time. I've experienced many "high-end" restaurants- this one is in a league of its own. It is by far the very best in Kentucky.. There are other great restaurants with great food and nice atmospheres that I enjoy, but this one is special.

Historic Boone Tavern, located in Berea, Kentucky was built by and remains owned by Berea College…read more The restaurant and menus were recently renovated and revised. The entire restaurant is decorated with art and crafts devised by students who work at Berea College. For lunch, I had a delicious catfish Po Boy sandwich with broccoli raisin slaw. Dessert was warm bread pudding with Kentucky bourbon sauce. Each meal is accompanied by an individual serving of the Tavern's famous warm spoon bread (a kind of corn meal soufflé) with butter. Dinner was light (still full from lunch). Kale sausage soup, hot deviled eggs and, of course more spoon bread. All washed down with filtered water and southern sweet tea. Servers were attentive and helpful. There is a full bar and an amazing offering of fine Kentucky Bourbons. Boone Tavern is pet friendly and located on campus. Shopping and campus locations are walkable. Parking is free and conveniently located. Guests may work out at the college gym, stroll campus, or drive a short distance to hike in the Berea College forest (Pinnacles). Rooms are well appointed and furnished with furniture made by students. Highly recommend Boone Tavern Hotel and restaurant for a little getaway.

I had the turkey and dressing dinner, and it was excellent--tender turkey, flavorful dressing, and classic comfort-food sides that tasted truly homemade. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the portions were just right. What really stood out was how well the staff handled a busy holiday evening without ever making us feel rushed. It felt welcoming and relaxed, which made our Christmas Eve meal extra special. If you're passing through Berea or looking for a comforting, home-style meal with great service, this place is definitely worth a stop.

I ordered the meatloaf meal, which came with mashed potatoes and gravy, seasoned green beans, and a cornbread patty. Every bite was absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, the flavors were spot-on, and the price was incredibly affordable. What truly sets this place apart, though, is Donna, the owner. I had the pleasure of meeting her, and her heart for the community is unmatched. She shared that she offers food for anyone up to age 18 with no questions asked, provides a discount and dessert for first-time patrons, and offers 50% off for seniors. You can genuinely feel that this is a place rooted in kindness, care, and giving back. Bluegrass Tavern is more than just a restaurant, it's a wholesome, welcoming space that serves fantastic food while uplifting its community. If you're anywhere near the area, this spot is a must-visit. I'll absolutely be back next time I'm in town!

My mother got a breakfast croissant and I got the lunch special (pork tenderloin, roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes). My mother loved the sandwich except it came with too much bacon - if there is such a thing! The pork tenderloin special was perfect for me! It tasted like a homemade meal. I would order it again. I give this place only four stars because there was not a great selection in drinks (cream soda, root beer, al8, or water) and the coffee was terrible! The sweet lady at the register even made us a fresh pot but neither me nor my mother could drink it. I do recommend this place overall. I will go there again, especially because the desserts displayed at their counter looked AMAZING. I must try some of their cupcakes and their cinnamon bun!

I do wish their coffee game was a little stronger, but it's alright.. The place is really cute and the staff are always pleasant and helpful. They always answer our questions about what ingredients are their items ( mom of two picky kids, I know I'm annoying) We love the croissant breakfast sandwiches, red velvet cream cheese brownies, and cinnamon rolls. Today we ventured out and tried the egg muffins. They're super tasty and loaded with onions, peppers, tomatoes, cheese, and ham. They come served with a side of salsa. Really the perfect low carb breakfast. We haven't made it for a lunch special since we work out of town, but that's on our list of to do's! My mouth waters just seeing pictures of their specials.

The fried bologna sandwich is made to order with toppings of your choice. My husband and I shared one and also had the chicken salad on croissant. The chicken was creamy and quite good. (They also serve ice cream.) The staff in the cafe and the shop are welcoming and nice. There is plenty of parking in the beautiful tree lined lot. Outdoor rocking chairs are a nice touch. The restrooms are upscale, lovely and clean. Overall, great stop.
