We used to be regulars, and then we stopped going. The food isn't bad and for Canton the restaurant…read moremenu fits in nicely. So why 3 stars? It's the drink prices. No one in town charges more for a beer than this place. For example, I enjoy local IPAs and Creature Comforts (Athens) is everywhere. I can go to several other stops in town and pay less for a 16 oz can or pour of this beer. Compared to another decent stop down the street, three roses is almost 30% more. My wife says one of the wines she likes is a little less than other stops, so that's good. But other drink prices tend to be on the high side as well, but most in town have higher liquor prices. That adds up if you like to frequent a place. Hence, we stopped frequenting. Overall, I like the decor and as noted, the food is decent. The upstairs is better than the downstairs but I'm glad they have the downstairs for some occasion when they could get busy. As for the Tavern / entertainment element, I've never seen any live music but they have several TVs. Not sure this would be my top choice to watch a game but it would work in a pinch if the other places were too busy or noisy.

A narrow restaurant that belies its seating capacity. There is a stairway near the entrance that…read moreleads down to another dining area. I sat on the main level which had mostly booths (for 4 & 2 persons), half booths, bar seats, and a few tables. The interior was classy, but the ambiance was not. The mood was ruined by whiny acoustic music, probably picked by the staff and not for the customers. I can normally tune it out, but the uncharacteristic F*bombs coming from the speakers were a mood killer. And while waiting for my meal I heard the following exchange from the kitchen: "Your late!" "Are you going to fire me? Please send me home!" The hostile attitudes in the kitchen was unfortunately reflected in the meal. I ordered the fish and chips, and the fries were nicely cooked. The crust on the fish also looked good. But the fish inside was watery and unpleasant. It was also topped with a mass of cilantro sprigs, which did not pair with the flavors. I managed to scrape them all off. The fish was served with vinegar, ketchup, and (missing) tartar sauce. The friendly and attentive waitress was quick to correct the missing sauce, although it did take awhile. My meal also came with a side of slaw that would have been outstanding if the kitchen hadn't made a misstep of loading it with too much salt. The other seasonings in the slaw were excellent and unique and the addition of red onions was great, but sadly ruined by the saltiness. At the end of my meal I visited their modern and stylish restrooms. I'd arrived just after 5PM and on this weekday there were only a few patrons. So the stylish furnishing of the restroom were marred by the mess I encountered in there. Based on the number of employees compared to patrons, there wasn't an excuse for not cleaning that bathroom. I've seen truckstop restrooms that weren't that nasty.

The fried chicken omelette with pimento cheese and bacon jam was absolutely heavenly, and the fried chicken sandwich with the same combo was just as delicious. Every bite hit. This is the kind of place you go out of your way for. A must-stop if you're anywhere near Woodstock. We'll definitely be back.

Tried the Shrimp and Grits on this visit, and the dish really could've used some kind of broth or…read moresauce to pull it together. With a heavy mound of onions and mushrooms on top, the grits ended up feeling dry and pulled all the moisture out of the bite. The flavor itself was fine, just lacking moisture and balance. We also ordered the scallops and risotto. The risotto was the standout. Bright, fresh finish, great texture, and not overpowering. The scallops, unfortunately, were the opposite. They had a noticeably strong smell right away, which usually means they're not as fresh as they should be, especially at a $40 price point. We took them home, but every time we opened the fridge the smell hit us, so they ultimately went in the trash. Despite this particular experience, we've always enjoyed this place. Service is consistently great, drinks are solid, and we usually leave happy. Hoping this was just an off evening, because we genuinely like coming here. Adding an additional * for the great service and because we haven't had a bad experience otherwise.

I reserved a table for five here for Mother's Day because we've had mostly good experiences here,…read morehaven't been in a little while, and they had both crab cake Benedict and bottomless mimosas on the prix fixe menu, two of my wife's favorite things. They were clearly understaffed, which was apparent from checking in with the hostess. The line of people waiting to check in with her caused the waiter taking desserts downstairs to have to wait up to five minutes with that tray. Once we were seated, we thought things might go better. Crab cake Benedict was the #1 choice for my wife and BIL, but the kids' menu didn't have the chicken and waffles the guy who called to confirm my reservation had mentioned. That was no problem because my kids have learned to find something to eat wherever we take them, and I ordered chicken and waffles to share with them because I love my kids and knew I would get enough food one way or another. The mimosa came in a wine glass because they had run out of flutes, which was fine by my wife, but she said they tasted heavier on the juice than on the prosecco. My waffles came out a bit burnt, but they replaced them with no problem when we pointed it out. My kids got fresh waffles, and I enjoyed the burnt ones. The chicken was one decent piece for a person, but split between my daughter and me was less than I had hoped for. Thankfully, the salad was a decent appetizer. When the crab cakes Benedict came, we were shocked to see a mess of scrambled eggs on a thin crab cake with an English muffin under. We always ask for hollandaise on the side because that sauce can go several different ways of bad, but in this instance we were genuinely confused how a benedict could come with anything other than poached eggs! The flavor was okay, but the texture and presentation left a lot to be desired. My wife only finished half of hers and didn't touch the limp fries. You can probably figure out how I made do with food in this instance. Our kids, meanwhile, devoured their food like we had starved them their whole lives, so on the plus side we didn't have to hear kids whining about food! Service was polite but very slow. I don't know that we'll be back. With the abundance of good restaurants in our area, it's going to be hard to justify returning here.

I got a very basic grilled chicken sandwich as my stomach had been sensitive this vacation. It was perfect. No crazy seasoning. Just lettuce and pickle. No dressing. Simple and easy.

Very tasty southern comfort food!…read more We started with the biscuits which were very good. Nice and buttery- paired very well with the gravy as well as the pimento with bacon jam. I loved the sweet savory combo. For mains, I ordered the veggie plate with Mac and cheese, cauliflower, collard greens, and mushrooms. Mac and cheese was solid, not incredible (I thought it would be cheesier given it's called cheese&mac). Still tasty and would probably order again. The cauliflower was phenomenal- slightly sweet, the perfect balance of acid, delicious. Collard greens were fine and so were the mushrooms. I also tried the cabbage, sweet potato, coleslaw, and Brussels. I love the caramelized skins of the sweet potato. I liked that the coleslaw was light on the mayo. We ended our meal with the Coca Cola cake. The Coke flavor is very subtle aftertaste which is probably for the best. I feel like the frosting was too thick, but really enjoyed the cake. It has a denser fudgier texture (almost brownie like) and is very moist. Overall, I would return. You must try the cauliflower, biscuits, and Coca Cola cake!!

We had reservations for 5:30 and they quickly seated us. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and attentive and we never lacked for drink refills. The seating is comfortable and there is upstairs dining accessible by elevator. I ordered the special, a thick cut pork chop. While my wife had the Trout Almondine. For side we chose the creamed kale and risotto. Before our dishes came out I had the kitchen salad with bleu cheese dressing and their complimentary bread. The dipping sauce was nice and a real twang. It was nice and unique for a few bites, but the vinegar was too strong to enjoy it past a few tastings. The salads were nice but nothing terribly exciting and with big leafs of greenery on a flat plate to challenge your dexterity. My pork chop was perfectly cooked and the flavors were fantastic. I'm not a kale fan, but there take was very good. Although the amount of lemon used in the flavoring was a bit too strong for more than a few bites. My risotto also had a sour note, but not as strong, and they were wonderfully creamy. We sampled each other's entrees and I'm not a fish person, but I almost (but not quite) almost regretted not getting the trout. It was absolutely delicious. And the sauce on my pork chop was fantastic. At the end of our meal I visited the restroom, which was where things turned downhill. I know older buildings can be a challenge to keep nice, and there's no predicting when a previous patron can leave a mess. But when I saw the revolting detritus piled in the corner, it was obvious the dirtiness of the bathroom was due to staff neglect over an extended period.

Another incredibly consistent restaurant on my list, Marlow's has been a go to in many…read moreneighborhoods that I have lived in. I come here usually for one dish and that is the V&G Buddha Bowl with Grilled salmon. I could eat this every day honestly. It's how I like to eat. Food in bowls. This has farro, and quinoa, edamame, radishes, cucumber, cauliflower, tomatoes, avocado and pickled onions. Pro tip, get it with the Miso vinaigrette. Trust me. Everything is incredibly fresh and the grilled salmon with it is epic. I'm guessing it's healthy too. Literally could eat it every day. My wife had a Tavern Burger completely plain. I like stuff on my burgers, but honestly the meat should be able to stand alone if it's a decent burger, and the tavern burger absolutely plain is absolutely delicious. The fries I'm guessing are fresh cut but they are epic and both of our meals were perfectly seasoned. Marlow's never lets use down and the service here is always good. This place is warm and cozy with an excellent outdoor space and bar. Great wine and drinks selection. The crème brûlée is fantastic although we didn't get it this time. If you want consistency and nice food that is well cooked and seasoned, you can't beat this place.

We started with the Truffle Parmesan Fries, which tasted of neither black truffle or parmesan…read morecheese. The fries were coated with green clumps that dominated with a grassy herb flavor. At least they were crisp. For my entrée I had Back & Blue burger medium-well. It was cooked to order and a generous portion. All the components were of quality ingredients and the flavors were spot on. My wife had the Pecan Crusted Chicken Salad and she enjoyed it. The food menu seems a bit narrow in variety, so if you've not been, check the offerings before visiting to ensure there's something there for you. Seating is mostly booths, with only a couple of tables. This doesn't include tables on the covered patio, but it was a cold rainy day and most patrons were inside on this Sunday lunch hour. It was quite busy, although we did not have to wait long. And the noise levels were expectedly noticeable but not overwhelming. Both the hostess and waitress were friendly, and refills were always being brought to the table proactively.

The atmosphere has that rare "Cheers" vibe where everyone seems to know each other, but somehow they make you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. What really sets this place apart is the service. The staff genuinely cares about the customers, not in a forced corporate way, but in a real, personal way that you don't see very often anymore. You can tell there is a lot of pride in what they do, and it shows in every interaction. The food is just as impressive. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor, tasted homemade, and the portions were more than fair. It is the kind of place where you leave full, happy, and already thinking about what you want to try next time. Add in the fun crowd, relaxed energy, and the feeling that you are part of the community while you are there, and this place becomes more than just a bar or restaurant. It feels like a local tradition. We will definitely be back, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for great food, great people, and a place that actually feels alive.
