Made a reservation for 4 people at 7:30pm and we didn't get our food until after 9:30pm. Our server was apologetic but had a different reason for the delay each time she came back to our table. I have never waited for food this long after ordering, and honestly I never will again. We were so hungry we considered someone driving down the road to Sheetz and bringing it back for the others. read more

Food was fine, but the iPad app for ordering used by the staff was a disaster. I didn't have any confidence my bill was correct, so I requested a paper copy. It did not have the tip included, so I had to pay the tip with cash. The alternative solution to buy a drink for 1 penny and add the tip didn't give me any confidence. To top it off, I received another charge for $50 on my card. The staff was not very helpful in finding the bogus charge, so I have to dispute the charge with my bank. read more

I've been to Tavern 27 multiple times and have always found them to have good service and good food. Before the Pandemic they used to have a fantastic New Years Eve buffet that was always packed and a favorite of everyone in our group. Unfortunately they have yet to resume that practice post pandemic. Regardless the food for the most part was always been great. I've had both lunch and dinner there and have found little if anything I could consider wrong with our overall experience. I do note that the restaurant clientele has been sparse at dinner the last few times I have been there but that may be a consequence of the seasonal nature of the club and golf course. It has had no effect on the food or the evening. I do wish however that they would bring back their holiday buffet as it was one of the nicest evenings out around. All in all I'd definitely recommend an evening at Tavern 27. read more

Stopped in for a catch-up with colleagues. We sat on the outdoor deck area, which had a delightful breeze and was set up very well. Wide variety of food options, I had the French dip- which wasn't my favorite, but the rest of the crew seemed to enjoy their meals. Good beer and drink selection. Service was solid and friendly. Wouldn't mind going back to try some different menu items. read more

Met friends for dinner on a weeknight. Cocktails were okay. We shared the pretzel appetizer and those were tasty. Also got an order of the old bay fries for the table, which we all enjoyed. I ordered the salmon salad, it was a large portion size. Service was okay, took a while to get our checks once we were done ordering food/drinks. Favorite part of our evening here was the patio seating, we got a table under the roof and watched the storms roll through. Gorgeous views from the patio area over the golf course and mountains. read more

Good food and service. Nice selection and friendly atmosphere. Prices are good and nice location by a quality golf course. Good parking and nice drink selection read more

The food is decent but if you want bread with your meal you need to bring your own. They will absolutely not serve bread or rolls with your meal. They used to, but now you can't get bread with your meal--ain't gonna happen unless you bring your own. You might be able to order a hamburger but ask them not to assemble it and use the bun from that. The other thing is it's open to the public. However, a 10% charge is added if you're not a member. The way it's worded is members get a 10% discount which sounds better than we charge non-members an additional 10%. Nice view though, and nice people. read more

My husband and I were looking for a nice but casual place to grab dinner and a few drinks after the Penn State game. I have heard of Tavern 27, but never had visited. It exceeded our expectations. They had a great selection of craft beers, and a great food menu. We sat at the barn and were able to order off of the menu in the dinning room. I had a filet and it was excellent. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet night out. read more

Went here for my husband's birthday dinner last week and sat on the patio! Food was delicious and the view was great. Good Job Tavern 27! If you have time, make sure you stop by here. read more

See all

My son, fiance and I were there for dinner tonight. I have a lot of friends that frequent there, the view is amazing and the majority of the staff is great. BUT, we waited over ten minutes to be acknowledged at our table, by the time we got our appetizer, it was luke warm. I ordered salmon rare with lemon risotto...it was well done and the "risotto" was minute rice cooked in lemon juice sprinkled with lemon rind . Our lovely server removed it from the bill, thank you. Do you think the manager came over to check on us or ask what was wrong? Nope! My 12 year old didn't even want to finish his chicken fingers...what does that tell ya? My fiancé's steak was as chewy as hell, but he was hungry and ate it anyway. For a country club setting, it's not a country club restaurant. The bar atmosphere is great for a couple of drinks, but they need a new chef and a new general manager read more

I ordered a steak, it took over an hour to arrive, possibly 2. When it finally arrived it was incredibly overdone, I had ordered medium rare and it was very heavily well done. So I decide to send that part of my meal back, and ask if I can keep my risotto green beans. The waiter says yes that's fine, but then later comes back with a plate for the overdone steak! As if I was going to even eat it! They wanted to make sure I wasn't eating that steak. And it certainly wasn't for the chef to review how he did, because when I received the second steak, it was so heavily salted that it was inedible to the point of leaving a bad taste in the mouth. I was done at that point with trying to get a good steak out of the kitchen. This is not to mention my brother's overcooked steak in his Fettuccine Alfredo. Poor service and food all around, completely do not recommend. read more

Pretty good spot that does not promote alot. The specials are always delectable. And fun to search for on a no cook dinner night (every night lol). Give it a try it is not too classy or anything unless I just do not take hints in my flannel. read more

Outdoor dining overlooking the golf course. This place is awesome! Tavern 27 salad topped with a crab cake is beyond amazing. Crab cake is nothing but crab and spices. The salad is huge (we were here for lunch) and has just the right amount of cranberries, goat cheese and walnuts. I had the lunch special of grilled turkey and cheese with a side of coleslaw. Delicious! Our waitress was very attentive and gave us the perfect recommendations. We will be back! read more

This rating is based on lack of customer service and management. I called a week and a half early to schedule a reservation for a party of 6 for a celebratory dinner. When I arrived on Saturday, the staff looked shocked and claimed they didn't have a reservation for me nor could they take me because they had "multiple private events" going on at their facility. When they had the nerve to ask me what number I called, I literally showed them their call on my cell phone to confirm I spoke with them (yet alone for a few minutes) regarding this reservation. The 3-4 staffers looked mind boggled and just kept saying "i don't know". No one wanted to take accountability for booking my reservation and not adding it to the calendar. They could've easily told me they weren't accepting reservations that week that I had called. Nor did anyone offer any apologies. We literally showed up with cake and gifts for the important dinner. Luckily, I called the US Hotel Tavern, who was able to take us in right away and their service was exceptional and made up for the lack of at Tavern 27. read more

We really enjoyed our dining experiences. The food was delicious, good service and nice decor. The prices are very reasonable. The only downside was that every visit they had an event that made the beautiful patio area unusable to the restaurant guests. Hopefully we will get to use it before it gets cold. I would highly suggest a visit. read more

This place is for uptight, no fun, overrated people who enjoy to only have 1 drink and that's it. They will think your flagged if you order a second drink so don't bother. The bald manager needs to get fired asap and shown how to actually have a good time. read more

This place has a menu and decor of an upscale restaurant with chef prepared food. It has an adjoining bar next door. A reservation is recommended. I decided to try Tavern 27 with some friends as we are local and were curious. After arriving there was some confusion with our reservation but quickly taken care of. I'd characterize the service as a bit slow with a breakdown in structure i.e.) take drink order, ask about appetizers, etc Anyway, the drunken mushrooms were average and the seafood bisque was a bit clumpy and bland. Our meals showed excellent presentation and sides were good. I thought it odd that ALL of our meat dishes were spiced well but not cooked to proper temperature. A medium steak was extremely rare, salmon was WAY over cooked, and another steak ordered medium well was cooked to the consistency of tree bark. Cooking meats to the proper temperature is a basic cooking skill. Not sure what happened. Anyway, the atmosphere was nice for the Altoona area but the meals fell a bit short for our dinner party. read more

The food is mediocre at best. We had the drunken mushrooms which were very heavy and in desperate need of flavor, salt helped a little. The chicken salad (lunch size) was ridiculously small and again lacking in flavor. The burger and fries were just average. Some of the chain restaurants in town make a better burger. read more
