Metzger's Taverninc

Total enjoyment. That describes my experience at the oldest continuous running tavern in Kentucky. The folks that work, there are extremely pleasant and capable. The tavern has an ambience that you expect for one of that age. This place is the real thing. A neighborhood spot that people of all ages can drop in and have some really good food at a decent price. They have a window that you can order ahead and pick up. I thoroughly enjoyed my cold beer and pork tenderloin sandwich. The slaw was delicious and different. My friend had the Coney dog. She absolutely loved it and said she dreamed about it the next week. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.

Very very good food. I have only had their drive through but the service is very fast for the drive through. The workers are nice and considerate of you. Overall great place to eat!

I always come to this place when I'm back in my hometown: METZGER'S TAVERN. They have a complete kitchen food production line right at the bar. They can fix anything! Fried bologna sandwich, t nderloin sandwich, homemade chili, etc. Stopping here is a must when I come home

Just moved here from south Louisiana and I'm trying everything local that's not served back home. I went for lunch and tried the fried bologna sandwich and Cajun fries. I'm still learning what is "Cajun" up here, but the sandwich was really tasty. I would have never ordered this back home, but definitely wasn't disappointed. Now I want to go back and try several other things on the menu. Cozy little place that fills up quickly for lunch. Love the building, from the outside painted brick to the inside with the down-home feel. The staff was great. I wasn't even sure who was our person because they were all helping each other out. I highly recommend stopping by and checking this little place out.

So good! Their burgers are great, but I can't ever not get their sandwich of the week...and I never regret it. Lol

I love this place. It's got grit. Yes, they only have one bathroom, but everyone is courteous. I always sit at the bar. I almost always make a friend with whoever is sitting next to me. It's laid back and chill. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. It gets busy at lunch time, so plan on hanging out a while. The burgers are excellent, and it's fun watching your order being cooked right in front of you. Fries and tots are crispy and hot. Fried fish was very good! You can't go wrong with the white bean soup, especially when it's cool out. And the Metzger's Lager goes great with the burger. The only thing that's a miss is the coleslaw. I like the idea that it's a fresh slaw of cabbage and kale, but the dressing is added when you order, (slaw needs to marinate) so it's more like a sad salad. That doesn't stop me from going back! I guess I need to try the fried Cajun bologna sandwich next.

A "must" stop for us every time we pass by. Fish sandwich, burgers, and fried bologna are SO good. Bean soup is better than mama's. Service is friendly and spot-on.

Awesome Burgers and great appetizers! Really cool spot that's been there since the 1800's! Highly recommend this local gem!

When we lived here years ago this was the go to place for chili. Now...it tasted like canned chili. And it was so thick my spoon stood up. Yuck!!!Service was good though and it still had the same friendly atmosphere.

It's the oldest continuous operating business in Kentucky! The atmosphere was perfect and the staff were great!
