Went here after a movie with my friends. Chris was our server. He was attentive and allowed us to have time to talk and hang out which was really what we wanted. We all had drinks, some of us had apps, some full meals (the chicken parm was on restaurant week) and some desserts. All in all food and experience was great. Will be back again

I hadn't been to the Towson Tavern in awhile so when I was looking around for a quick bite before a movie, the Tavern came to mind. It was easy to make a last minute reservation and my table was ready when I arrived. My party of four was greeted promptly by Henry who flashed a razzle dazzle smile and immediately began taking drink orders. We all decided to share entrees and some apps, and were pleasantly surprised when our food arrived already split on separate plates. So nice! Thanks, Henry! The Pistachio Crusted Goat Cheese appetizer was delicious and plentiful. Even four of us couldn't finish it all. The chicken lettuce wraps were good, not great, but we did finish it off. The Towson Burger was really, really good. It was cooked just as I asked (no pink) and it had a special sauce that was very tasty. The prices here are extremely reasonable for a white linen ambiance restaurant. Five star service by Henry and excellent food. We even made it to our movie on time.

My review is based on the buffet experience I ha as apart of a small wedding dinner party. First off, our server was amazing and very engaging! They knew the drink menu better than I know my social security number. (Jk, I kinda know my SSN lol) He was super funny and really set the mood off with great drink suggestions and instructions about the buffet. My favorite things were the brussel sprouts and the pasta. The salmon was good, but just dry. Like really dry. The brussels were just so crispy and flavored so well, that I almost wanted to ask the chef how they do it. I'm not a local, but I can see why ppl frequent here with the combo of cool servers and good vibes overall.

I went Sunday morning at 10 am when the doors opened with three friends of mine. The ambience was warm and inviting. There were plenty of booths and tables with a long bar off to the side with TVs on the wall. I was expecting their brunch on Sunday morning to be delicious. Boy was I wrong. All the options on the menu sounded so good. My friend ordered the smoked salmon plate. The server informed her they were out of smoked salmon. Now we were the first patrons there. How is it possible they are already out of smoked salmon. I ordered the breakfast burrito for $9 and added steak which made it $12. The coffee that came out came in a dirty mug. There was something dark I flicked off the top of rim of the cup. I still drank the coffee which was awfully bitter. The fruit that I got as a side option was just ok, nothing special. The burrito looked appetizing. Sadly it was just the appearance. Totally superficial. There was absolutely no flavor in it whatsoever. No seasoning to be found. My steak was hammered! I couldn't eat it. I got a doggy bag and yes it went to the dogs. I asked the ladies about their food and they said the thing. My one friend said her crab omelette was dried up. The eggs were way over cooked in the oven. And she found a minuscule amount of crab. All of us were laughing because this is a possibility of trying a new place. You just never know. I honestly cannot recommend this place nor will be returning. Our server was super nice so a shout out to him. Unfortunately besides the ambiance and the nice server this meal was lacking in any flavor.

Have gone to this tavern a couple of times for after work happy hours. Typically very quiet and pleasant. This is probably because this location isn't frequented by Towson students. The happy hour specials are usually pretty good. I like the Pineapple Express (gives martini vibes). They had a seasonal drink called the pear gingerita a that is made from a house made gingercello. It was actually a pretty refreshing drink - didn't necessarily give me winter vibes per se, but good none the less. A little sweet but tasty. Service was pretty decent. We went on a Thursday night and there was one server. Pretty attentive and was able to serve people quickly.

After an hour in a half, we came to learn that not only our food was late, it straight up wasn't coming. They ran out of all fish for the night. Surprisingly my calamari was not included in this massacre of an experience. I went home only to find my calamari improperly fried, breading falling off, and overall not good. I didn't even eat it, we ended up eating leftovers from last nights dinner at a friends house. Also this isn't a service issue, they had one guy running the entire place. Management is none existent, I'll never return.

I am astounded at the number of 5 star reviews of this restaurant, because our experience was one of the worst I can remember . I always try to give restaurants the benefit of the doubt, since every place has a bad day occasionally with respect to either food or service, but there's no excuse for both. Our party of two adults and two children came for dinner from out of state. The restaurant booths were full, so we sat at one of four empty tables near the door. The other three tables filled up shortly after we sat down. It took a while for anyone to come over and he then took our drink orders. We asked for water all around and a Diet Coke. We then waited. And waited. And waited. When I asked someone, he assured us someone would be right over with the drinks. After a while, I noticed that someone had placed a tray with four glasses of water on the bar across from our table, but nobody arrived to bring it to us until some 10 minutes later. When the waiter finally took our orders, he left and then returned to inform us that they were out of one appetizer and one entree we had ordered. It was only 6:30. So we selected other items. Meanwhile, we noticed that the people at the other tables who sat after us, had been served long before us. My French onion soup was mediocre in taste, and contained no toasted bread . My daughter's mussels appetizer didn't arrive until after we finished our main courses, so we sent it back. My granddaughter's meal was brought by a different server after another long wait, lukewarm and with a different pasta than what she had ordered. When she mentioned it, the server looked puzzled and insisted that that was the pasta it came with. We told her we were specifically told the type of pasta by the first server and sent it back. We were told they had to make it from scratch so it would be a little while. When it finally came, it had hardly any sauce and what there was , was brownish and my granddaughter said, tasteless. My daughter's and my main courses, also pasta dishes with a variety of shellfish, arrived while we were still eating our starters, without an excuse or apology. The food was almost cold, many of the mussels were unopened, peppers and tomatoes were soggy and tasteless, the broth was almost nonexistent, and the fettuccine it came with, was mixed with linguine. I really would have made an issue with management but there was nobody to be found and we had children with us. I will never go back.

Great evening with our family to celebrate our twin daughters 25th birthday. We traveled from different places to meet here and was not disappointed! Great food, drinks and the best service. We were not in a hurry and had plenty of time to visit. Thanks for bringing the desserts for the girls! Everything was perfect. Best waiter ever!
