Such a charming spot in Jeffersonville. Tavern on Main has a cozy, inviting vibe, amazing cocktails, and food that truly impressed us. The Salmon Cakes were so good, the French onion soup was comforting and flavorful, and the Korean BBQ ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender. We also loved the pan-seared salmon with its creamy lemon sauce. Everything felt fresh, well made, and thoughtfully prepared. Highly recommend for a special meal in the Catskills. read more

One of our go-tos in town. The service is always friendly. Todays order was the river fish and chips. Delish

Brussel sprouts were good. Fish and chips and chicken were very undercooked for my taste and borderline disgusting -- could not finish them. Service was fine. read more

Great service first off. I like that they leave a bottle of water at the table so you dont have to flag down anyone for a refill! They should just be a bit more observant of the bottles in need of a refill. The food was all delicious! I had the ribs and now I see that I had them the last 2 x I was here! Well still very tasty, tender and fall off the bone delicious! The fingerlings were a nice touch as was the huge 1/2 roasted carrot. Had roasted brussels sprouts as a side which were charred nicely and seasoned perfectly. read more

Sadly I can't review the food because I waited for 45 minutes after ordering and no food ever came. No appetizers, no entrees, and not even the bread and butter that we ordered. I found the management and most of the staff (but not all of them!) to be very arrogant and rude. Zero communication on the food delay and after asking for them to please, please, please just bring the bread and butter two more times with no result, we finally gave up and left, going down the street to Michaelangelos Pizza instead. And guess what? Everyone at Michaelangelos was super nice and the pizza and entrees were great! In the end it all worked out for us. But maybe not so much for Tavern on Main... read more

I am rarely moved to write a bad review, but this incredibly rude and incompetent staff have earned it. They couldn't locate our reservation for some reason on their end and the "hostess" went out of her way to be extra rude about it - and remained rude and sneering throughout as did the "manager". After 50 minutes waiting for even some bread and butter for our starving kid, with no explanation or updates, we gave up and left. They seemed relieved to have one less table but not as relieved as we were to escape their miserable vibes and collection of bad tattoos. Do yourself a favor and steer clear. read more

Always delicious food and excellent service!!! Normally get the half chicken which is incredible but today we got the chicken Milanese. It was wonderful!! read more

It's hard to imagine settling for less than the superb meals at Tavern on Main. A pizza from those fine folks across the street satisfies the craving. But a dollar stretches much further at this historic gem knowing you've eaten as local and fresh as it gets. Food here is delicious, honest, and satisfying, and the staff are as unpretentious as Jeff itself. While others seemed very happy with their burgers, it was the trout that rocked our night! Vegetables were done with mastery, whether they came with the main dish, or as a stand-alone appetizer that may just be the single-best bowl of Brussels sprouts anywhere. Marry me, Chef John! read more

Teeny weeny portion of overcooked salmon on a recent visit. I realize that the economy isn't very good, and sometimes people have to make compromises, but honestly! It was pretty bad. Long wait. I guess it takes time to overcook salmon. The service was not great either. Just slapped down on the table. The Caesar Salad wasn't bad. The hostess was polite. But look, in this day and age, what is the point of going to a restaurant if you can head over to Peck's, buy a piece of salmon of the correct size, and enjoy it? read more

Actually so good?? We ordered take out from here and I loved everything. The bbq wings are delicious as was the Caesar salad. The Korean wings were tender and juicy, and I LOVED the slaw that came with them. Can't wait to have this again. read more

Is a very nice place, I love to dine outside, Very nice staff. our first time there. Food was ok. We had the salmon. but I was shocked how small the portion was. I started thinking that I paid $28 for the whole salmon alone, and this came with half carrot plus 3 little fingerling potatoes and few pieces of asparagus, not very tasty, they could do so much better. Not sure that I will come back. read more

Ambiance was a throw back to yesterday but classy. Outside looks dutchy and the have a Biergarten out back. Fish and chips was amazing. Fish was flaky & crispy outside. French fries straws were good. My chicken was juicy and skin crispy. Mash potatoes were real and buttery. Burger was a little over done but I think my son said well done by mistake. We told him next time say, medium. Overall, good meal. Waitress Mary was gem! She's attentive and so sweet. We made reservations but got there early and they seated us right away. Call ahead. read more

You never get a second chance for a first impression. I ordered take out and when I walked in to pick up the young lady at the front looked the other way and went over to have a conversation with the bar tender. There were 4 people in the bar. I stood and waited. The bar tender finally pointed at me and she turned to acknowledge me. $23+ for 2 pieces of fish and seriously about 20 French fries that were not fresh. No napkins, no utensils, one small tarter. To their credit the fish was good but the front of house person Leaving me standing left a taste in my mouth 2 pieces of fish couldn't overcome. read more

Food and service were great and it's a beautiful old building with an awesome backyard space.

Food was excellent ,service not so much . Friend and I stopped in for lunch around 1:20PM. One other occupied table on dinning room ,appeared to be finishing their meal..2 gentlemen at the bar . Quiet November Saturday .Menu fairly extensive appetizers ,sides and entrées as well as soup and salad ,there was also a special weekend brunch menu. We order side of Macaronie and cheese ,roasted Brussels sprouts and my friend ordered fried chicken sandwich on Challa with side of French fries .prior to receiving menus we ordered a pint of local beer on tap and a cola which were delivered at time of taking order ...all good ...45 minutes later waitress has not returned ..I hunted her down at the bar where she was cleaning glasses ..two gentleman still there,other diners had left. I asked if there was an issue with our order...eye roll and answer "sometimes it takes awhile" she went into kitchen returned to inform me that I should have realized that Brussels Sprouts take a minimum of 40 minutes to roast..I said ok but ,next time you might want to give a customer heads up that the side we be an extended wait . She said "I will think about that and another eye roll. While I enjoyed the excellently prepared food and generous portions I will not be returning ​ read more

We were in the area staying at a hotel when we came to find this place. Happens to be a hole in the wall. Ambiance to start is very warm and homey. Staff and service was incredibly bright, kind and fast. Corn dip was average but when eating it with Tabasco it becomes. 10/10 We came on wing night so wings were 10 for 10 dollars and were they huge and juicy. 10/10 for taste and for value. Burger was tender and thick. Overall this place deserves 5 stars. read more

Came to this town for a wedding. The chicken wings were tiny and flavor was meh. But the entrees were pretty good. When we came and mentioned we had a large party. I heard the waitress say they do not know if the kitchen can handle. But there weren't that many people to begin with. The ambience is nice. My food and a few friends were good. But one of our friends burger was so burnt black and somehow they still served it. He says it's too burnt and the waitress asked are you sure you don't want it. The waitress was super sweet but the question about the burger was redundant. No one will eat a burnt burger. Def recommend here for any people passing by this town. read more

Came for lunch. They have both indoor and deck seating as of August 2022. I tried the Caesar salad, fish and chips and salmon came. The fish in the fish and chips could have been crispier, but the salmon cake was absolutely amazing. Solid meal overall! read more

We waited an hour for an appetizer that never came and we had to ask about it. It was never acknowledged before that. It was not overly busy in the restaurant either. Asked for my soup to come before my chicken Caesar salad but that didn't happen either. The salad and fettuccini Alfredo arrived first after an hour. I will say that the food was good.... once it came. read more

Friendly place. Saw positive reviews so decided to try. Beer on tap good. Appetizers; Brussel sprouts and Mac & cheese 0k. For our mains we all had Fresh pan seared trout. Nice portion and presentation; decent fish tho it & the two sides (spaghetti squash and greens were soggy and extremely salty. I suspect the bar food ( burgers, etc) should be the go to choices here. Overall ok but somewhat disappointing. read more

This is the steak Frites. $32. It looks like it was dumped into the box.. it's also supposed to include a salad, which I was not given. The food taste good, but they should put more effort into their to go orders... read more

Tavern on Main - This is the stake frites! For $32 I would think it'd come lnicer rather than dumped into a to-go box!!!! The food IS good though! - New American Near Me - Jeffersonville, New York

Excellent food and wonderful, friendly service from Heidi & co. We were so happy to come across Tavern on Main while visiting the Catskills. They have lots of delicious vegetarian options and a charming, spacious backyard. Loved it! read more

On our upstate trip we actually ate here for dinner both nights bc not only was the food tasty and affordable, but the staff was excellent and friendly AND the specials/happy hour were on point!! The house sangria changes and I loved how they topped it with Prosecco. Def a sweet variation too. We enjoyed an array of food and we gonna sound like fatties but here goes : Fish and chips Grilled cheese w cheddar and Swiss Veggie burger Calamari House salad Brussels sprouts French onion Chicken corn chowder Prime rib special Legit it was all so damn tasty and we took our dinners to go both nights while enjoying the drinks and apps in house beforehand. 100% recommend read more

This restaurant was recommended to me and I had no idea how amazing everything was going to be. The steak was cooked to perfection, the drinks were amazing and the service was great. read more

Back again, and this time it was even worse. What a shame. I hate to see a place that at one point was really good and then it just plummets. read more

We went to Tavern on Main while staying at Villa Roma. This was a a short distance from where we were staying and we were glad we went. The food was very tasty and we were able to sit on the back patio outside. It was covered to help protect from the sun. The only downside was there were a lot of flies, but still manageable. The service was great. Our waitress shared the daily specials and menu changes with us and our food came out quickly. The prices were reasonable and a family of 4 was able to eat and drink for under ~$110 (including tip) which feels rare these days. read more

Ate there with my family last night.. we ordered: Fried chick sandwich Tavern burger Salmon Child Mac n cheese All the food was amazing. We eat here every time we vacation at villa roma. Highly recommend read more

I have always enjoyed their fish tacos in what seemed like a friendly environment. However, after reading strong anti-Semitic comments by owner, Lauren Seikaly, in the Sullivan County Democrat and on Facebook, I no longer feel comfortable walking into this or any of her other establishments in the town of Jeffersonville. Sad because it is a loss for this small town. read more

Thursday Tacos is my now go to thing to do. Excellent service, fantastic drinks and the tacos were 10/10. Maybe more rice but everything was great. The tavern is lovely with the tiled floors great ambiance read more

Came here on a Sunday night because it was the ONLY place opened around the area after 7pm! We sat inside which the tables were socially spaced. The waitress was good at first. We got the food pretty quickly but we never got any water refill and at the end we waited a while to get our check. The food portions were pretty small compare to NYC. We got the ricotta with bread appetizer. The cheese has a more paste like texture. It was good but the portion was so small!! For $19 it was not worth it. See picture. The chicken wings was probably the best dish. We also got the special noodles dish, trout and roasted chicken . They were all very salty. The drinks were not that great either. One od them barely had alcohol in it! Watermelon margarita had way too much triple sec. We were not impressed. Wouldn't be coming back. We didn't even both with dessert. read more

Fantastic food, stellar service, great ambiance for date night. We went on Taco Thursday. Great drinks, wings, and tacos! We'll definitely be going back. We're just sorry we didn't know about it sooner! read more

This was a great spot for lunch when we were in the area. In fact after touring Bethel Woods museum we found Tavern on Main on yelp! It proved to be a great spot for a healthy(ish) lunch and some local beer. I really enjoyed the Turkey and Brie sandwich served on Cinnamon bread! It was served with a side salad. And my husband ordered the chicken sandwich served with fries. I tasted his and it was also good. The service was a little slow at first but once we gave our order the kitchen was fast with the order. The beers were served quickly and they were cold brews from the tap. The bar has a lot to select from! The setting was adorable and I really admired the decor. If we are in the area again we will stop back! read more

What appears as a roomy tavern in a very small town,a village actually, off an ancillary road in the Catskill Mountains, turned into quite a surprise for my darling bride and I. Jeffersonville, population 359 as of the last US census, has less people in it than in a typical housing project building in the neighborhood where I grew up.. What this village and tavern have that that project building did not is a phenomenal chef. John Nichols is that phenom. Chef John, as he is referred to, from the roasted veggies to the main dish, knows his spices, techniques and presentation. The pork loin was as moist and tender as any I've ever had and flavored in such a manner as to tingle taste buds from front to back. Usually, when I had such a dish, there is a signature spice or flavoring that dominates at the cost of all others. But like a fine wine that entices you by affecting different parts of the palate, this dish went from sweet to sensual to subtly aromatic with each morsel. It got to the point where, despite my hunger, I found myself cutting smaller pieces just to make it last longer. And on the subject of wine, nothing ruins a meal's potential quicker than a meager selection to accompany a well prepared meal. Tavern on Main offers a great selection of wines, both by the glass or bottle. My darling bride ordered the crab stuffed shrimp. Her dish was also well prepared and only my love for her prevented me from consuming more of her meal. Attached to the Tavern is a beer garden and an ice cream shop. While I chose a subtle but delicious creme brulee for dessert, my bride was in the mood for ice cream. Our server, a very charming lady, offered to go next door and retrieve the chosen flavor for us. The menu is American eclectic and if one dish can be so good, well, as General McArthur so aptly put it, "I shall return.' read more

We celebrated a birthday with a large party of all ages, including 5 kids under 6 years old. the back yard is a huge asset. The kids played in the large beautiful yard without bothering other guests. The adults were able to enjoy themselves knowing the yard is fences in. The food was excellent and our server was incredible. The back deck is our favorite spot. Highly recommend for a large party or a small intimate dinner. P.S. the fish tacos are superb. read more

Tavern Burger to-go. One of the best burgers I've ever had. Perfectly cooked! Loved the onions. Ate it so fast - no pics.

Good food. Friendly staff and casual atmosphere. Good drinks. It is a pleasant place to spend time with friends.

Wow! My boyfriend and i came up to Jeffersonville for the weekend and weren't too happy with our Valentines dinner at another place in town. We came to Tavern our 2nd night. We started with the shishito peppers and sticky ribs, both were to die for! The bread and butter they gave was delish, for dinner I had the filet mignon, and he had the trout, both were out of this world, and we've deemed it one of the top dinners we've ever had over all. We tried the Valentine's Day drink "chocolate raspberry martini" and that was just as good. Than we had the creme brule & a peanut butter chocolate cheesecake which were both out of this world. We'll definitely be coming back, don't hesitate on this place! read more

The Mac & Cheese was so good!!!!! Service was great!!! Ribs were sweet!!! Love the music !!

Great to see this Jeffersonville institution back open. Tonight's dinner was typical Tavern...fantastic. I and our dinner partners wish, going forward they return their menu to pre-pandemic fare. The current menu is nice, but pales in comparison to Tavern's past selections. I pine for Sizzling Steak and Prime Rib Thursdays. Looking forward to our next visit and keeping fingers crossed.... read more

This place was amazing! The atmosphere and ambiance was very welcoming, the staff was attentive, kind and very pleasant, the food was delicious and the price was beyond fair! For a small town restaurant in the middle of the mountains, the menu was very diverse. Even the kids menu was great with unique choices. A few of my favorite things about dinner: -Because salmon can be served raw (sushi), they asked what temperature I wanted my salmon cooked to... and it was done perfectly for me. -The seasonal mixed vegetables were GRILLED. I got a beautifully charred mix of zucchini, squash, carrots and even a couple pieces of grilled corn cob! It was a very pleasant surprise to the usual summer mix. -The kids menu had a variety of choices from fish sticks to mini corn dogs, burgers, macaroni and cheese and even homemade applesauce. -The price was so worth it! For 3 adults and 2 kids our dinner (with a more than 20% tip) came to $110. We were all very satisfied and full! We absolutely will be coming back next year! Maybe even later in the week!! read more
