Very nice. 4.5 score. For the history buffs, or just a lover of presidential history you need to visit and take it in. We visited on a chilly February evening and all the fireplaces were in use. I love it when there is a fire, the aroma just adds to the ambience. We had the Bruschetta, which was quite marvelous. Very tasty. There is a wine list, but it used to be better. A bunch of lower tier options, with a smattering of maybe 4 quality bottles. We did order a bottle of the house red, and it is sweet, flat, and heavy. My wife gave up on her glass and got a house Cab Sauv, which wasn't much better. We should have gone with the Stag's Leap Cab like she wanted. Dinner was the Filet Mignon and the Steak and Cake. The Filet was excellent and the Maryland Crab Cake was delicious. The Steak with the crab was good, but underwhelming. Desert was a strawberry chocolate cake. It was good. Overall. Great place, great ambiance, good waitress, and good food. Final price was @$217 plan accordingly. That said, we planned and were looking forward to splurging. Yes, I should have splurged more for the better wine too We will be back. read more

Spread Eagle Tavern & Inn - Cake and Steak. - New American Near Me - Hanoverton, Ohio

If you're a historian this is the place for you. While it may be a bit of a drive into Ohio, the classic clonial buildings are to die for. Within the tavern you're greeted with original artichetic from the 19th Centurary. If you're interested in seeing the tools they used to build it, they're on display! With an ambiance that screams romance, the candle lit dinner certainly sets the mood. The food does not leave you wanting. You can taste the natural flavors that are complimented and enhanced by great seasoning. I've personally come to love the bruschetta and the beef wellington. Their staff leaves no room for desire! While I'm not a big alcohol fan myself, I've found that their staff is great at accomidating this fact. I have no idea what was in my drink, but I can only describe the taste like a raspberry tootsie pop. This is a restuarant worth revisting over and over. read more

Ambiance and history alone are 5 stars, the food is the cherry on top. Been wanting to eat here since I first found it like 20 years ago, but being so far away and dinner being kind of pricey it always just stayed in the back of my mind. Well we had the occasion, wife's bday, and we bit the bullet and made the trip. There's no easy way to get to Hanoverton, so there's that. But once you make it there, the area right around the restaurant transports you back into the 1800s. Much history on that street and inside the restaurant. Take some time to look around each room and the basement too. The service was top notch. Being a party of 8, we got the private dining in the Taft room. They were all over it and did great in taking care of us. The food is not cheap, but it is good. The deviled eggs with salmon, the bruschetta, the onion soup. Chefs kiss. The menu online is somewhat different than in-house, but that was ok. My wife had pierogis and someone else had the beef Wellington and they both loved it. Can't remember everything everyone had. I had what was basically a pot pie, but with bison. Much to my stomachs chagrin I ate the whole thing and was beyond stuffed. We will definitely be back. I recommend reservations if you're coming after 3pm. Something about that place with the smell of the fireplaces wafting thru the building.... read more

ok it is pricey, you aren't going here just for a fun Friday night. We went for New Year's Eve and the filet was $66. Was told the house red wine was good, it wasn't. That being said the food was very good. I had the french onion soup, my hubby a Caesar salad and then we split the filet. read more

Spent an overnight at The Inn and had dinner there. Everything about the place is First Class. The service, the food, the cleanliness, decor and ambiance of the place is like a journey back in time. It even has a pleasant scent about the place from the many fireplaces throughout. The staff is kind and courteous and make the whole experience special. It is a hidden gem in the middle of small town America. Highly recommend. Anthony and Anne M. read more

Spread Eagle Tavern in Haverton Ohio. It is a beautiful political tavern. It has many pictures of Presidents all over the tavern. It was also Christmas time so many Christmas trees and decorations. There are staircases that lead one way and end up in other areas of the tavern. The staff is very polite and helpful. The food was delicious. We had for appetizers to share the devil eggs, peppers, shrimp cocktail, the quiche, chicken pot pie. And for dinner the strip steak, chicken Wellington, shrimp and crab crepe, the broiled cod. And last vanilla cheese cake, the crème brûlée and the cherry pie. Everything was excellent and portions were so big we shared everything. Definitely when back in Salem I would love to come again. read more

I love this place!!! We started with the bruschetta and baked Brie. Both were very good choices, the bruschetta tasted fresh and I liked the feta and tomato's on the crisp bread. The baked Brie was my favorite! The Brie and warm raspberry sauce were perfect together. I had the prime rib which was perfectly cooked and delicious. We finished with the warm apple crisp. The food was delicious and the courses perfectly timed. I loved the history of the Spread Eagle! The staff was very helpful and went above and beyond! Thank you Spread Eagle for an amazing time! read more

Lovely experience for Thanksgiving dinner. I was concerned about getting my mother in with her transport chair, but no serious problems except needing help holding doors. Wait staff was very courteous and accommodating. Not the best menu for a vegetarian with food allergies, but I enjoyed my salad and my mother and brother enjoyed their traditional turkey dinners. Mom loved having dinner with an "Indian" - very attractive carved statue by our table. read more

Atmosphere: The place is absolutely beautiful on the inside. You can tell it is old and historic and it has a wonderful rustic, homey feel to it. We were seated near a fireplace that was very beautiful and warm. Our server was a very pleasant young lady with great manners and checked up on us often but not too often that it was annoying. I can not say better things about the customer service she displayed. She also gave me the choice to either box my leftovers myself or allow her to box it up. Usually it is one way or the other. It was disappointing to of paid $140 and drive 45 minutes for our meal that really was just lack luster but the customer service was just great. I still tipped her $30 because she did nothing wrong. Just wish the food had matched up with the service. Food: So I started off with their house Cabernet Sauvignon which was very delicious. It was the only kind of Cab they carried so I was happy it was good. For appetizers, I got their Liberty Onion soup and my friend Liv got their baked Brie appetizer. The Liberty Onion soup was very delicious. Maybe too much crouton to where it took up most of the broth but overall, I would eat it again in a heartbeat. The brie was also very good but for $18 the ratio between the actual brie and the things that came with it, there just wasn't enough of the cheese. It should have come in a larger portion in our opinion. Liv and I drove 45 minutes to come to this place specifically for the Beef Wellington. We have both wanted to try it for years. Beef Wellington is ALWAYS supposed to be cooked to a medium rare. That was just not the case in this situation. Hers was cooked slightly (very slightly) better than mine but both our puff pastries were burnt and mine (see pictures) was just completely overcooking. There was about a fingertip size portion of the middle that was slightly pink but It was definitely cooked to medium (perhaps a little more than medium). The mushroom in it and the sauce that came with it were very good but that was it. I was very disappointed. When the server came back, I asked what they normally cook it to and she said medium rare and I was hoping she would get the hint that mine was overcooked (I didn't want to complain since I was out with a friend and she drove 45 minutes) but she did not take the hint. We also didn't want to wait for new ones. Liv ended up eating hers but I only had not even a fourth of it. Needless to say, I took the leftovers home and never ate them. Perhaps it was an off day but I left hungry. read more

Food and service was tasty as long as one did not mind all the Republican dignitaries looking down as one eats!

I sincerely would not write a bad review over politics but let me first just say that this place is really corny with the political thing. That's your right, of course, but it's divisive. Also, noticed Confederate (traitors) art in the basement. Having said all that, if the food and service were good, I'd give it 5 stars. Service was excellent. The server was polite and friendly and drinks were refilled etc. Rolls were cheap. French onion soup worse than a chain like Applebees. Hey, broil your cheese. So salty with the onion straws on top. Clam chowder wasn't clam chowder. I have an open mind but it simply wasn't good. It was a broth instead of cream base. I make better crab cakes than their chef makes. Super "fishy" tasting. Barely edible. I enjoyed the scalloped potatoes and the fish was bland but others at the table liked it. I didn't finish my sad, old looking dessert. Alright, you like Trump. That's fine. But your food is bad and overpriced. read more

I love the background and look of Spread Eagle Tavern & Inn. The history is so prominent, with a quiet elegance that makes you pause and appreciate. The cute area of town is the perfect backdrop for this lovely business. We stopped only to have a beverage and to take a little tour. The bartender was so friendly and nice. Our iced teas tasted fantastic. They were refreshing - just what we were looking for. Next time, I'd love to enjoy a meal and spend more time here. The dining room is rustic and cozy. It lends itself to the history behind this building. I felt so lucky to have been able to visit and see it with my own eyes. The rooms are beautiful as well. I would love to stay here on another visit to this charming slice of Americana. read more

My wife and I came out on a Wednesday night to finally try this iconic landmark and had a Fantastic culinary experience. Our server Maddie was flying solo this evening but you wouldn't have known it based on the level of attention she provided. We paired our dinners with a chilled Sauvignon Blanc and it too was delicious. The setting inside the inn was better than we imagined. Hats off to the manager, chef and Maddie for providing an exquisite dining experience. read more

It's my Birthday, and despite my terrible disappointment at our last visit I couldn't resist since we were passing by. I was somewhat concerned because of Covid now, but called and they said the patio was open. Turned out everyone else thought it was too cold to be on the patio, so we were the only ones there! We really enjoyed ourselves, and our server Madeline was a delight. I might add the much older more mature hostess went out of her way to show us the patio first to see if we would be comfortable there before seating us. Everything was perfect this visit. Food and service was off the charts! The water feature on the patio made me want to stay and enjoy it for several hours. Such a beautiful setting! read more

This venue is so unique and historic (and....surprise....it's haunted!) and I love everything about it. The food was exceptionally delicious. My dining companion and I shared the charcuterie plate and we each had a bowl of the french onion soup. I had the elk (every bite was just mouth wateringly good) and he had the pork chop. Tender and flavorful. I was a little sad to skip dessert, but we really were just too full. I cannot wait to make a trip back here! We also walked around throughout the rest of the venue to look at the various dining rooms and the inn. You can feel history breathing and alive here. You really get the pulse of another era. It's like stepping back in time a couple centuries. I would love to come stay here one day. read more

My boyfriend and I were doing a little one-night getaway to enjoy the fall leaves, and Spread Eagle was just the ticket! We live a little more than an hour away, so we took back roads down with stops for hiking in the crisp, sunny October air. The Tavern was surrounded by beautiful fall color, and it took only a minute to check-in and we were off to the Jefferson Suite. This room is on the third floor, and no, there is not an elevator. The room is decorated in early American style - lots of floral wallpaper, four-poster bed, fireplace (non-working), and hardwood floors. Being that high up we were right at the level of the treetops, so we had beautiful color out of our windows. We had bottles of water chilling and chocolate chip cookies ready and waiting when we walked in the door! The room has three windows, so lots of light, but the shades do a great job of room darkening - we never sleep in past about 6 am and we didn't wake up until nearly 7:30! The bed was comfortable, with lots of comforters and blankets, and even better - they showed us the thermostat and let us set our room temp! This room was very quiet too - on the second floor there are some dining room tables, so you would be able to hear people during dinner hours, but after the restaurant closes it would be quiet. On the third floor even during dinner, we heard nothing. We had dinner reservations, and we were seated on the second-floor landing right by large windows overlooking the main street - super romantic and private! The wait staff was attentive and polite, the food was to die for, and they even let us order dessert and take it up to our room since we were too stuffed to eat it then and there. I am one of those people who is always cold, especially in restaurants. This is not the case here - they had all the fireplaces roaring and it was really comfortable. In the morning, they cook you breakfast (you tell them the night before when you would like breakfast between 8 am-9:30). You are seated in the main dining room, and then you are given muffins and fresh fruit and coffee when you first arrive. They take your order (breakfast is somewhat customizable but limited - we were offered eggs cooked as we wanted, potatoes, bacon, toast. Every bite was incredible (seriously, they baked the bacon in the oven with brown sugar and maple syrup!) and we were stuffed when finished. Then we were able to walk around the entire house and look at all the pictures and displays since the restaurant was empty. They even let us in the basement (which you really need to see - so, so cool). It was the perfect romantic fall getaway and there is no doubt that we intend to do it again, perhaps this time again next year! And as far as COVID is concerned - everyone on staff wore masks and made effort to keep people socially distant, not only while seated but while waiting to be seated, etc. If you like to hike, just a few minutes' drive away is the Teegarden Covered Bridge which is right on the Greenway - a beautiful, long paved path that goes for miles. read more

I am literally always trying to book a reservation here. My boyfriend and I stayed in the Lincoln suite which was one the highlights of the entire trip. The vintage clawfoot tub in that suite is worth the entire trip alone. In regards to the restaurant, I found that the service was top notch. Our waitress, Maddie, was so knowledgeable about the menu and even made a few suggestions as it was our first visit to the tavern. This place is such a gem that I am always begging my boyfriend to take me back, if not for the claw foot tub alone. read more

Everything was first rate. Server recommended a French Martini for my wife. Now it's her go to cocktail. Server was very attentive. Food was outstanding.

We'll be back! read more

A historic landmark and excellent food. Went for our anniversary on a Sunday and throughly enjoyed our food and service.

Always hearing rave reviews, I was happy when our friends suggested we go here. This is a historic tavern with all of the charm you would expect. The prime rib is fabulous and paired well with the vegetables. The prime rib was about $35.00 which was well worth the size and quality given. I would have expected this to be $40-45.00 elsewhere. Will definitely be back. The staff is very attentive, friendly and able to interject as a person in the party being served, which gives a sense of family conversations. We even took a mini your of the property. If you are dating, this is a place where you would want to go to impress your date. They have rooms for all different sized parties. They even have a bar to eat at. read more

A pleasant evening out. Clam chowder was one of my selections and it was the star of my meal. Came out piping hot and was delicious. My wife had the French Onion soup and it was thumbs up all the way around. She especially liked the cheese. I also ordered the crust pecan pork loin. To much salt for my taste. The entree prices are a bit high in my opinion for the what you receive, but then it is not every day you get to enjoy a dinner in a place that has as much history as this Tavern. read more

A bit of a drive for us but well worth it. The food has always been terrific, the atmosphere and history is amazing.

If you ever wanted to dine and stay at a place that you would expect to meet our founding fathers, this is it. Don't miss it. And try the Hanover House in the back. A return to the real true America that is so long gone. The food is amazing as is the service. No detail goes unnoticed. A place restored to its original glory save for the horse barn. David Johnson saved this place for the history that it deserves. Cannot say enough about him and his family who gave us this jewel. Spent an evening drinking scotch and smoking cigars in the all brick Rathskeller with G Gordon Liddy in the 90's. What a night. You can make unforgettable memories too. Book it. read more

For an exquisite dinner in an authentic setting this place hits all the marks. Went for Thanksgiving today and it was superb. Though a 40 minute drive from Youngstown it's worth the drive.

Very good!! I do have to be honest, we did reserve for the special Christmas dinner they had, but the food was amazing! The service was really good, although a bit slow.

This is probably my 7th time. This was the worst ever. The Elk was cold, the portions were sparse the hamburger had to be returned to add the cheese and fig jam, fries cold, crab cakes were tasty but nothing spectacular! I am extremely disappointed with the food, small portions and had to continually ask for Iced Tea refills. With all the present day set backs I would think this would have been a much more pleasurable experience. read more

Fantastic food and ambiance. Perfect for a special night, celebration or anniversary. We will definitely be back.

My boyfriend and I joined two of our friends who have eaten here many times. We all love the atmosphere, it's very unique and the service is on point! I had the beef Wellington, it is over the top amazing and my boyfriend had the crab cakes which didn't have your normal filler stuffing, there seemed to be more crab than stuffing! The portions are perfect. The appetizers are much smaller then maybe some are accustom, however we could have dessert with their portion control. We all got a different dessert and each of them were great also! If you are a bourbon drinking, they have a nice selection. read more
