Breakneck Tavern

We went to Breakneck for my mom's 77th birthday. There were 10 of us so I had called ahead to make a reservation. We were seated promptly when we arrived. We ordered drinks that took a normal time to come out for 10 people. We then ordered food. We had ordered off the brunch menu as that was all that was available. The food took an hour. I had to go to the hostess station x3 to inquire about more drinks and the status of our food. Our server had vanished. Never once checked on us. The hostess had to actually go find him three times for us.Once the food arrived all the sunny side up eggs were now hard boiled. All the pancakes were hard. It was a disaster. The food looked like it had sat under the heating lamp for a good amount of time. My grits had a hard top coat on them from the heat lamps. My niece had asked for a side of French fries which she was told was an option and these were missing. The server then gave her pieces of fried something with ketchup. Whatever it was, it was not fries.My sister did state her dissatisfaction with her meal and had the one meal comped. The server never apologized. Brunch was a mess. We will not be returning. It's a shame I cannot give zero stars because this brunch was not worth the one star I was forced to give.

I was surprised a restaurant with tavern in the name would be open for breakfast, but they have a very good breakfast menu and even a delicious apple cider mimosa. The food was very good & service was friendly. It's a lot higher than I expected and I like the decor a lot.

Breakneck Tavern is a restaurant and bar that has a casual atmosphere, excellent service, and solidly good food. The menu includes foods such as soups, salads, burgers, tacos, BBQ ribs, crab cakes, filet mignon, scallops, lamb, and creme brûlée and beverages such as beers, cocktails, whiskeys, and wines. Please see my attached photos for the menu in February 2024. My husband and I had a reservation for lunch on a Saturday. We arrived after 11 AM, and many tables were available. A seating hostess kindly greeted us and soon seated us at a spacious and clean table. Our waitress spoke very nicely to us and provided timely and accurate service. Here are my husband's and my reviews for our foods:Crab dip - 4 stars - This crab dip contained not only crab but also corn, red peppers, and spinach. On the side were several pieces of Cajun-flavored pita bread. This dip and pita tasted good, but my husband commented that he would prefer that it not contain corn.Bison burger - 4 stars - The bison patty was cooked medium as I had requested, and it was topped with fresh lettuce, onion, cheese, horseradish mayonnaise, bread, etcetera. I ate most of it. For my side, I chose French fries, and they were properly fried and seasoned.Fried-chicken sandwich - 4 stars - My husband ended up taking the chicken out of the bread buns and eating only the chicken. My husband chose a side of onion strings. He said that this entree was good.If I return to the Mars area again, then I would feel happy to try more of Breakneck Tavern's foods. Maybe I will try their crab cakes and ribs in a future dinner...

A wintery Saturday calls for a satisfying meal, and Breakneck never fails. The burger is seasoned to perfection and truffle mayo is a perfect touch. So many levels of flavor. The Brussels sprouts serving size is smaller than before, but the flavor never fails. Perfect char and the lemon aioli makes for the perfect bite. My wife said the salmon with cauliflower rice was fantastic. Very light yet tasty and satisfying. Breakneck was and will always be one of my favorites. Delicious elevated bar food with such a cozy, rustic inside made sipping a Pinot Noir a great time. The place was packed, yet service was still excellent. Food was awesome and drinks - Pinot Noir and Espresso Martinis - kept arriving in a timely manner.

First visit was on a gorgeous Thursday evening in May during Happy Hour. Of course, the best appetizer, the charred Brussel sprouts were not one of the HH specials but so worth the full price! Also amazing was the Gluten-free Raspberry chocolate torte with fresh raspberries and whipped cream by Pastry Chef, Mariah Jane (and those who know me, know that is not a compliment I give out freely). There are several sections of seating. We sat in one of the handful of booths on the bar side with mostly high-top tables. There's an enclosed patio and also an outdoor patio. The parking lot was nearly full by the time we left at the end of HH. Most customers were middle aged. Service was good and the place was clean. I'd definitely return for HH and dessert.

Had dinner with my mom and it was great. The food was great and our server was super nice and helpful. The fish sandwich wasn't too greasy which was great. I love how it looks like a little boat house inside. I love the aesthetic, it makes you feel like you're on the water but really you're in Mars, PA.

Great happy hourGreat food - burgers, salads, and sandwiches And Frank is one of the best bartenders

The Shrimp and Grits were awful. The combination of vinegar and acidic tomato sauce were inedible. I scraped it aside and ate the shrimp and the grits that were not too contaminated with the sauce. Doesn't anyone taste the food they cook? We won't be back!

Our waitress Hannah was fantastic! She was very personable and attentive even with it being super busy! We had the smoked wings with the secret sauce and they were absolutely incredible!

I got the chopped Cobb salad to go. Got home and it was like a side salad with some bacon crumbles and egg crumbles. Really disappointing.
