View of the courthouse, across the street from the restaurant

Nice destination for riding day. The food was good, and the staff was friendly. My glass was kept full throughout the entire meal.. the restaurant is an older building, but there was lots of memorabilia to look at.

Double cheeseburger and fries

Absolutely delicious hamburgers, made fresh and to order. Onion rings and fries were great too. My kids enjoyed the chili fries. Staff was friendly and attentive and food was made quickly. Super cute historic building too!

A full dining room full of happy customers.

This place was packed, but I'd say they could seat about 50 to 60 people probably. There.was.no wait and the service was really good. My wife had the BBq burger and fries and I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and a side salad. I didn't get photos of the food because it was so good I forgot all about needing those for my review. The side salad was huge and get this....not only did it have delicious bacon (real bacon!) on it, but there was not a single piece of bad lettuce. Not a brown spot, not a crusty brown end, nothing- which is pretty rare these days anywhere you go. Every single piece of lettuce, bacon, cheese and tomato was fantastically fresh! The burger was made with good beef and was loaded up with cheese slices and bacon and the cheese was actually melted. The chicken salad was amazing - it was cold,.fresh, with tiny little pieces of yellow bell pepper. The owner came.over and talked with us for a bit and when asked, said that the chicken salad was his wife's own recipe. He told us that today was the end of their first six weeks as the new owner and we told him that Tanners and Wartburg were very lucky that he and his wife took over.we didn't get his name, but maybe when we go back....because we will absolutely be back!!! They have done an amazing job renovating the old building and brining Tanners back to its glory days!

The food here is very good! I have gotten the wings and few times ever since the new owners took over and they are amazing! The owners are very friendly and interactive with all the guest! This place is really a hidden jem and is going somewhere for sure!

Cute little bit of historic Wartburg! I finally visited and made sure to try the much recommended burger and fries--delicious! Next time will be the ice cream. Service is straightforward and down to business. The ladies were very nice and helpful with everything.

Really nice find! I always look for these little lunch spots on the square in small towns. This one is a perfect example. Run by women who have good chicken salad, chili, and ice cream specialties. Well done ladies! I will be back. PS: As I expected the bathrooms were spotless! I suspect the kitchen is as well!

For starters, let's start with the elephant sized dish in the room...My European mind couldn't…read morecomprehend the sheer size of the cinnamon roll, one of the key and staple offerings within this breakfast establishment. Our breakfast was sizable, a fair price and all had a southern charm to it. From the eggs Benny, to the bacon infused waffle, to the breakfast potatoes, everything was delicious. My biggest recommendation is to get on the virtual wait-list prior to arriving at the restaurant, you will be quoted a time and then just show up and check in within that window, effectively getting you ahead of some of the walk-up traffic and getting you on with your day.

Before you head out, go to the website and get on the waitlist. Then be sure to check in as soon…read moreas you get there. Otherwise, you many have a very long wait. Also, there are only a handful of free parking spaces so your best bet is to use the free trolley or just pay for parking. Also, you have to wait outside, so keep that in mind if it's cold out! The pancakes are delicious and perfectly cooked throughout despite being extra thick. They are fluffy and very fairly priced. Biscuit and gravy was also a great choice. Gravy was creamy and smooth with a hearty biscuit. Biscuit breakfast sandwich was also top notch, with perfect egg and sausage and Biscuit. We ordered a cinnamon roll to go, and while we really liked the super smooth and light icing, we all felt the roll itself was pretty dry and bland (we ate it about 10 minutes after receiving it). That was the only dissapointing piece. Food was served very quickly, impressively so. Service was friendly, but the server only came by to take order and see if we wanted anything else before the check. A very friendly gentleman in a white chef type outfit delivered the food to the table. Restaurant was clean and large with a nice selection of reasonably priced options. We would definitely go here again.

We ended up here by mistake while meeting our son and his girlfriend in Crossville. Our original…read moremeeting spot was a different restaurant but their dog threw up in their car so they pulled into this parking lot. After dealing with the dog we checked the reviews and they were good so we decided to stay here and eat. We all really enjoyed our breakfasts. I got the breakfast with biscuits and gravy, even though she said they don't make the biscuits in house. It was very good. I also got grits and scrambled eggs. My husband got 2 eggs over easy with English muffins, bacon and grits. Our son got the breakfast with pancakes. The service was excellent and the interior was cute. Our server was really nice but I can't remember her name.

Make you wanna slap your Mama!…read more Now... before you say "it's only biscuits and gravy." You should know that I Love Biscuits and Gravy. Read my reviews and you'll see that B&G is a frequent mention, especially when I travel away from home. And if there was a Mount Rushmore for B&G, I'm would put Family Ties' up on it... right next to Mom's Restaurant in Franklin, Ohio (formerly located in Red Lion). , Small order for $4.95. Large for $5.95. I added two eggs over easy. This is 2026 pricing! The plate came out looking unassuming. I ordered a small plate which is one open face biscuit with plenty of Gravy on top. (I didn't take a pic because I was in the small booth next to what I assume is the back door. The sun was casting shadows so I missed a great photo op). Looks are deceiving. This is some seriously good stuff. So simple but Sooooooo Good. Please don't ever change this recipe. I will be back!
