A nice little place to grab a beer and get some food. The server did a great job as we had a big party and took up the entire back room. I especially liked the beer list that included craft beer. The menu had a variety of items to chose from and the burger looked really good. I went with a crab cake, fries, and a side salad. The crab cake was really good and filling (about 6 oz). The only downside was that I couldn't get a baked potato on the side until after 4. I'll be back!

I've been here three times and plan on returning. The food here is rock solid. Cocktail was just right. Lovely warm bread while you wait. Ambiance is friendly snd relaxing. There's carry out, a bar, and dining in seating. Good value for the price. Soup and sandwich combo is great; my friend and I got it together with different combo choices and both were great! At one visit they were offering an amazing deal for Thanksgiving, including a carry out option.

My lunch date suggested this restaurant. We were warmly greeted by our host/waitress Sophia who provided excellent and thoughtful service from the moment we sat down to order to when we got up after paying the bill. The restaurant inside is modern and very unassuming from the outside where we actually sat. Our food was delicious large in portions. Ultimately, a trip worth taking for great service and excellent food. We already planned a return trip.

This Taven has been around as various names for as long as I can remember but the current version is essentially than ideal. The good. Our Waitperson was very friendly, quick, and kept us informed as to why the kitchen couldn't turn out a simple sandwich a d burger in less thN 30 minutes. "Teddy" was the only reason to go to this place. The bad includes the food, is a club sandwich supposed to be that dry, yet so soggy? They make up for it by giving you stale chips though. So we had that going. The burger was so oily that The US was going to invade it. Then we had "Slender Man", the heavily braceleted host. While he was nowhere to be found while we had an extensive wait for the shitty food, he certainly made his unwelcome presence known by interrupting our conversation with Teddy as we were paying the bill. Maybe Teddy should move on to one of the better, more established places in and around Mt. Airy, as they aren't doing her delightful attitude any good at this place. Will not repeat. Will not reccomend.

This is my third time here in the past two weeks. The first time the food was pretty good. I got the open faced turkey sandwich. The second time was amazing. I got the shrimp and crab Chesapeake pasta. Today I was going to order that again but my friend ordered crab dip as an appetizer so I ordered the salmon with asparagus and a baked potato instead. The salmon and asparagus were awful. The salmon was thin and flat and completely encrusted with black and white sesame seeds and a balsamic soy sauce (supposed to be a ginger soy sauce but I didn't taste any ginger) which I didn't care for. I scraped the sauce off and wiped it off the plate with a napkin and put lemon on it but those sesame seeds were just an off putting texture. I thought it would have a few sprinkles of seeds over it but it was just too much. The asparagus tasted good until about half way down the stalk. Then it became hard and tough. I was unable to bite it. It was like eating bamboo. The server came back and saw I had not eaten my food and asked if I wanted a box. It was a $27 meal so I said yes and explained I didn't care for the taste or texture of the food. She said ok and just brought me the box. So all I ate was my side salad and baked potato. I could have gotten that at Wendy's drive thru for for 1/4 of the cost of this meal. When she offered dessert I hinted that I had not eaten dinner yet so I'd be skipping dessert and would have to get dinner elsewhere. She ignored that comment too. I feel disappointed more wasn't done to offer me a better dining experience. :(

The food here is always good. A regular go to place for decent meals with several choices. A bit pricy but they do have specials. Excellent crab cakes, Maryland cream of crab soup, burgers & fries, boom boom shrimp, shrimp salad sandwiches just to name a few of the dishes. The deserts are very expensive and the size of the servings are all very small. Shrinkflation. One thing they can do to improve -either lowering the prices or increasing the size of portions of deserts.

dry hamburger... you only get a bun and a thick piece of dry meat and all the add ons are extra and pricey....

My family's go to place! The energy is always high and positive. The manager Amber makes it a point to put a smile on your face. She's always so helpful and sweet. My favorite items are the crab fritters, fish and chips, crab cake sandwich and always a sweet tea. The also have a berry dessert I forgot the name but it's delicious has a crust with powder sugar on top. The brunch is amazing as well. I always get steak and eggs and I have yet to regret my decision.

UPDATE to my review from a year ago...I'm still giving this place a low rating even though the person who responded to my review a year ago said the experience I had then was not normal for their restaurant. Sadly, tonight we decided to review their menu online prior to giving this place one more try and I found that being a Sunday the menu said one of their offerings after 4pm was Prime Rib. In fact, it was this particular food offering that made our decision to eat here. When we arrived, around 4:30/4:45pm we were quickly seated but, when the waitress showed up she said that the pastrami sliders and something similar was not available tonight. Planning to get the prime rib this news, at this point, was not distressing. My significant other was planning on ordering the jumbo lump crab cake and a 1/2 rack of ribs. When the waitress came back for our order my significant other told her that I would like the prime rib... it was then, not when she told us what else wasn't available, that she decided to disclose that the main reason we were there, the prime rib, was not available. She then offered an option in its stead of an open face prime rib sandwich...lol, that's a poor substitute for someone who specifically chose to try this restaurant one more time just for the advertised Sunday prime rib. Heck, we drove there just to get it. Since the $41 prime rib was unavailable we both chose to choose something else. So instead of ordering the $41 prime rib and the jumbo lump crab cake which was equally expensive with the addition of a 1/2 rack of ribs we chose to order two soups at approximately $9 each and a pizza that was $16 but because it was Sunday was $3 off. When the crab soup arrived for my significant other the bowl itself was only slightly warm to the touch and relatively lukewarm to cool to the taste so, we had to hunt down our waitress for resolve. Before coming to our table for his lukewarm soup she went back to the kitchen and then came to us with the excuse that the soup warmer wasn't working right and warming the way it should be so, she offered to microwave it for us. I don't know what alarms me most here, the fact that the soup must have sat around in a warmer that wasn't warming properly for god knows how long today or the fact that she took the bowl back to microwave it after it had sat inappropriately for god knows how long and then brought the same bowl back out to serve not questioning if the inappropriate warming might have damaged the soup that she was now reserving to a customer. Our pizza arrived shortly after she returned with his rewarmed soup. The pizza was only okay at best . It looked good for presentation purposes but, it had little sauce, little taste and the crust was too tough to cut with a fork but, it was even harder to chew being as tough as it was. When all was said and done we ate only half the pizza, boxed up the rest and received a bill for less than my prime rib alone would have been had it been available for order tonight. We paid our bill and left. Is it good business to advertise something that is not available? No! Is it good business to advertise something that is not available and have people choose to drive to your restaurant specifically for that item? Again no! Is it good business to advertise something that is not available, have a waitress wait until you order it to tell you it's not available when she had already told you what was not available when she first came to your table? No! Is it good business to do all this to two customers who have already had a bad dining experience at your restaurant? Definitely not! As reviews go this one is negative and as research has shown the impact of negative word-of-mouth can be more devastating than ever as online and social tools that amplify word-of-mouth are increasingly more powerful. With my responder last year telling me that our bad dining experience was outside of their norm sadly, tonight only showed me more of the same. A picture of our not eaten remaining pizza is below.
