The Good King Tavern

We've always heard good things about the Good King Tavern, but never thought to come by. I'm really glad we finally checked it out last month because all the good things we heard are true.I have to admit what really brought us here was the fact that they're DOG FRIENDLY! Since we came with our dog, we had to sit outside, but there are plenty of tables inside for indoor dining as well. Even though the outdoor seating area is on the sidewalk, this street is pretty quiet with not a lot of foot or car traffic, which makes this set up so ideal. There is also an awning attached to the restaurant, keeping guests protected from the sun or light rain. As for the food, everything we had from the beginning to end was delicious and on point. During dinner, my husband knocked over his glass of wine. Even though this was completely his fault, our server felt bad and comped our dessert, which was incredibly nice of her. Overall, we all had a great time. Service was great, and the food was very delicious. A lot of times, when we bring our dog out to eat with us, we have to sacrifice eating well. But NOT at the Good King Tavern. Here, we can have our cake and eat it too. I foresee us having a lot of doggie dinner dates here!

Duck Pate, Steak Tartare, Duck Confit, Scallops Omg this place was so good. Super cute date night vibes interior. Friendly servers. Forgot what drink we got, but it was delicious and I am obsessed with the foam on top! The pate and steak tartare were amazingly good. Duck confit was yummy. The Scallops were one of the specials of the night, and they were the best Scallops I've had to date!! So tender and delicious and the most incredible sauces. Only minor downside is that the food here is pretty salty, so be prepared!!

After a magnificent dinner at The Saloon, we (us four) were not ready to go home and watch TV.So, we walked over to The Good King Tavern for some libations and conversation.This very hip Bar / Tavern was packed this night at 10:30. The buzz going on here was substantial and we went with this strong vibe.Mezcal, wine, whiskey and a few beers along with the music and people watching made this a terrific end to a terrific night.

While floating on this Pale Blue Dot in the middle of an ever expanding universe just trying to figure out where my happiness and purpose lies, I have begun a side quest to find the best Steak Frites. It would be my death row meal. I love steak, and I love fries. So why not?We walked into JUMPIN' Good King Tavern on a Saturday night in the dead heat of dry January... but honestly it hadn't been too bad, no real tests from God yet.We were seated in the dimly lit interior, and I LOVED how small their menu was. Simple and to the point, no fluff. When a menu is too big like DAMN you're just doin too much.We went with Escargots ($12), Mussels ($21), Radish special from the handwritten chalkboard ($I forget), Tavern Burger ($19), and the Steak Frites ($28).I popped both my Escargots and pot style Mussels cherries, and both were great choices. I love trying new things. I'll try anything once, hehe :)When the Steak arrived, I had my first real test from the dry January gods. I wanted a glass of red wine SO bad, let me tell ya. It was the perfect storm to fail dry January: Nothing in that moment could have paired with a steak better than a glass of red, and it was my birthday dinner with my girlfriend, I really don't even drink that much I'm just tryna look rockstar skinny for my upcoming Mexico trip, and.... and then that Kobe Bryant Quote popped in my head. "I'm not negotiating with myself. I signed that contract with myself, I'm doing it." Thanks Kobe. Even from the grave holding me accountable.The Steak Frites was doused in sauce au poivre and I'm normally not the biggest sauce guy with my steak, but this complemented well. Also if you thought about asking how I got my steak cooked the only logical answer is medium rare. Or rare I guess, but you're lowkey a psycho if you get your steak rare ahahaha it's like having cauliflower ear. Don't mess with that guy.Anyways, the steak was very good, but these fries................ I don't even have the words. I am normally a slut for shoestring fries, but these thicker cut fries walked the ever so thin line of being crisped but not too crisped while having an optimal amount of salt.... man. These are a top 3 fry I've ever had, no hyperbole. The only comparison I can make is Islands Fine Burger & Drink's fries........... you probably have no idea what that is but trust me, those are my magnum opus of fries. I was blown away. They made me feel alive, even while knowing I'm just floating on this Pale Blue Dot in the middle of an ever expanding universe.........THANK YOU GOOD KING TAVERN! KEEP SLANGIN THEM FRIES!IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov__

Such a great neighborhood restaurant. Stopped in here on a whim last night with a group of 6 and was seated pretty quickly. Since we were a big group, we had to sit outside but the heaters were effective and kept us nice and toasty. We ordered a little bit of everything and loved it all. Started with the cheese board and brussel sprouts salad- the salad was seriously one of the stars of the meal. They also had a fried oyster special with a nice aioli that we enjoyed. A few people ordered the gnocchi entree which was also good and it was a decent portion, too. The dessert was fantastic- particularly the creme brulee. I'll be dreaming about that for a while. They have a solid wine selection and the waiter was really helpful with his recommendations. My only small qualm is that I felt the menu was limited- what they offer is 10/10 but there weren't many vegetarian entree options.We had a really nice time here and I'm definitely looking forward to coming back.

Had a delicious dinner at The Good King Tavern tonight. It is so cozy inside--the perfect place for date night! The skin contact white wine was to die for, the mussels absolutely perfect!! My girlfriend got the burger and she loved it. The fries are a must get (they're so addicting!) Service was fantastic as well; Erika was so sweet. Love The Good King, highly recommend.

I finally reviewed Good King after many visits - mostly for the beer and burgers; both of which are very good. However, this visit we decided to stray and try some new items - including some of the daily specials. The first dish was compliments from the chef - delicious fried goat cheese balls; crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside - served with tomatoes and greens. We were getting Skate for the main course, but when I saw fried Skate (fingers) as appetizers, I ordered them! They met my expectations with a delicious gribiche sauce that I dipped the fish into before every bite. The main dish was a beautiful display of Skatewing Amandine with garbanzo beans, almonds and capers - it was exquisite! The next time you're at Good King, resist the burger and try another dish for a change - you'll be glad you did!

First time trying French Cuisine, and I was absolutely blown away. It's deceiving, and appears as just your average neighborhood rowhome dimly lit tavern, but the food was high-quality and damn tasty. You'd think you were at a full blown Michelin star restaurant with the options, presentation, and flavor! I'd recommend the escargots for an appetizer (my partner who's been to France said it tasted just like the ones he got there) and the mussels were MORE than enough filling for a main course. As for mixed drinks, we tried two each, and the best was a gin conCOCKtion. It was creative and not too sweet, and makes ya go "mmm... OH!"Will DEFINITELY return. I can't wait to try the rest of their food!!

Ratatouille Tartlet was pretty good. The tartlet was crispy and definitely the ratatouille added to the profile.

Our waiter was really nice and pleasant! I enjoyed the peaches and escargot appetizers. Dinner took unusually long to come out and was super salty. We got burgers and fried fish. Fries were way too salty to even eat. Left needing water! Probably wouldn't go back.
