Ye Olde Trail Tavern

My girlfriend & I ate here on September 19th. We ordered an appetizer of the Sauerkraut Balls. I ordered the Fish and Chips platter. My girlfriend ordered the Shrimp Basket.The atmosphere is very unique in this establishment. This is supposed to be the oldest operating tavern in Ohio. Inside, it is darkly lit with a lot of dark wood furnishings. When we went, there weren't very many people but it does have a nice vintage vibe. The Sauerkraut Balls appetizers came in a basket of four with spicy mustard. They were fried very good and were tasty. The Shrimp Basket and Fish and Chips basket both come with sidewinder fries which kind of look like a cork screw. I enjoyed my fried fish and my girlfriend enjoyed her shrimp. Both were fried to a delicious golden crisp and were very tasty. The sidewinder fries were good as well. Food was served promptly and was fresh.I recommend. Yellow Springs has a very colorful environment with a hippie vibe. This a great spot to visit if you are visiting and looking for a unique place to eat.

I love the atmosphere of this place! You feel like you're in a real medieval tavern with a hot fire, wooden booths, and decor. We just stopped in for drinks and an appetizer but everything was excellent. I had a delicious mulled wine and the beer cheese & pretzels were some of the best I've ever had, clearly freshly made in house.

Good food, great service and a nice patio. What more do you want? Bratwurst with spicy mustard and excellent spicy kraut was just right with a Hofbrau draft. My friend had the burger with cheddar, also very good. Right in the heart of Yellow Springs and we will be back

The Ye Old Trail Tavern (Ohio's oldest tavern) was today's lunch location. Sitting on their patio felt like snagging a VIP seat to the best people-watching spot in town, all while basking in the comfiest warm air. The fish and chips were perfect! The fish? Crispy on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth inside. And those chips? Couldn't stop munching on them. They were a little light with the small sample of cole slaw...could have provided more Then came my wife's BLT - thick, crispy bacon with the freshest tomato and lettuce, all hugged by perfectly toasted bread. Service was chill and on point, making the whole vibe just right. Whether you're here for the fish and chips, that BLT, or just to chill and soak in the scene, the Tavern is a good choice. Only knock is they have just one fryer so if a lot of people order fish, it will slow your order down. Can't wait to hit up this spot again! #GoBills

Ye Olde Trail Tavern is in the middle of quaint Yellow Springs & has a unique & historic vibe. We were able to enjoy lunch out in the patio which was shady & provided a pleasant lunch. Many German food choices. I got chicken sandwich & German hot potato salad which was acceptable-nothing noteworthy & it was served with a delicious spicy mustard, My friend enjoyed the Grilled cheese. Service was quick & perfect t for those who might be on a tight schedule.

Quaint little restaurant in Yellowsprings is a must try if you're visiting the area! Very rich with history. The food was delicious. I got the spicy sausage and it was delicious. Service was quick. Drinks were cold. Any time I visit Yellowsprings, I will be back!

The weather finally cooled down for a short while so we could eat on a patio. If your near the water fountain you might get a small splash every minute or two.We decided to get sauerkraut ball fantastic, Richelle doesn't like mustard so I get all the good stone ground mustard.We decided to get sandwiches:Richelle got the Das Meer, beer battered cod, of course. I got the bourbon burger, of course.Richelle says the fish sandwich is outstanding, best in Springfield area.I say the bourbon burger is quite good too, I might ask for medium rare next time.We both love the side winder fry's.Staff is friendly, and we always had full cups.

Saw this place when we went to Yellow Springs for a Mystery Picnic event. Rustic looking old place with some charm. Climbed the stairs to a small waiting area, got the 10-minute wait time and headed outside to the fire pit. Grabbed a quick draft (lots of bottles and cans but no hard liquor). By the time I got two sips down the table was ready. Decades of carved names in the tables. Four season room made it a lot bigger inside. Smaller menu but good good food. My wife had the fish and chips and I got the Donar Kebap. Always have to try something new. It was like a gyro with crunchy cabbage and a great sauce. The German potato salad was a little sweet but good. Staff was on it all night. Kept checking on us despite being busy. Nice night at a new experience.

Ye Olde Trail Tavern is a really cool, old tavern in the heart of Yellow Springs. Originally built in the 1800's, the building is iconic and beautiful! The bar is truly stunning. Great beer list and pretty good food makes this spot a must try in Yellow Springs. For starters, I had the Left Hand Peanut Butter Porter and the Currywurst appetizer. The beer was awesome. The Currywurst was ok. Thinly sliced wurst with curry ketchup is very German and pretty good. It wasn't my favorite wurst ever but pretty good. For entree I had the Fish Basket. (Basically cod fish and chips). They were fantastic! Lightly breaded cod, fried nicely. The cod was flaky, well cooked and moist. Definitely worth a try if you're not looking for a burger or sandwich. Overall, I would definitely recommend Ye Olde Trail Tavern. Great service, bar and food!

Always have good beer and friendly staff. Smash burgers are good. I always stop there anytime we go to Yellow Springs.
