The Tavern Restaurant

That had to be one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The Brussels sprouts were the absolute best!!!service was incredible everyone was so nice. The place is this quaint little place that you walk down steps to. I would recommend this place to anyone that is traveling to Philly. Definitely will go back!!!

I came here based on a book called "Unique Eats and Eateries" written by Irene Levy Baker. The restaurant is in the basement of building that also houses a piano bar and a dance floor, but both were not in operation when my wife and I dined here on a Thursday night. We were one of two tables and the service was fast and efficient. They have a full page selection of craft beer and wines at fair prices. The menu is simple, and with some research before we went, we ordered the fries (amazing), cheese sandwich with tomato soup, and the Wedge Salad. All of the food was perfectly cooked and had great taste. The fries were as good as you can make them. The wedge needed a little more Blue Cheese which the server immediately brought. I highly recommend the Tavern as a great place to eat in Center City.

We are glad we found this little gem on our last trip to Philly. It was a short walk from our hotel. It's tucked away on a little side street. The food was amazing! We would definitely recommend!

As out of towners visiting for the weekend, we were definitely unsure of where to go and turned to yelp for help which led us to this awesome place! Walking distance from where we were staying and in a great part of town, we really liked The Tavern! First off, the unique vibe of the restaurant being below ground level as you have to go down several steps to enter made for a fun first impression especially coming from an area where this is very uncommon! We were seated in the back which felt like a neat underground secret space with the exposed wooden beams and low ceilings! We started off with drinks which we all liked then proceeded to our entrees! I opted for the mushroom, edamame black bean burger and garlic fries! I very much liked my meal and was impressed by the flavoring of the burger! The fries were definitely my favorite part of the meal as they were delicious as is! All of the ladies in our party enjoyed their meal and had a good time at The Tavern! We highly encourage both locals and those visiting from out of town to give it a try!

This was a really nice find on our getaway in Philly! We stayed at a hotel only a few blocks away and on our first night we just wanted to eat something local while we explored our new neighborhood. We ate on a Sunday night and it was relatively empty, which didn't bother us at all. The restaurant is in the basement and the decor is really cozy. My husband and I shared the garlic fries and each got the grilled cheese and tomato soup as our entree. It was all delicious! The food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. The fries were a big appetizer, we couldn't finish them! The grilled cheese and tomato soup were just different enough that it felt like a twist on a classic. Would definitely recommend!

Love love loved our server here. He was so much fun and very attentive. This wasn't a fair walk from the convention center where we were conferencing at, and seemed to be in the middle of the gayborhood which feels like home for a queer like me. The food was super tasty and the vibes were just off the charts. Loved the basement type set up, walking downstairs in the restaurant and the small intimate dining space was super nice. I just to knock one star because I was very hungover and so I didn't get to have a super FUN experience here but that's all my fault to be honest. Also to note-- gender neutral bathrooms!

My two friends and I came here for New Years brunch and left completely disappointed, frustrating and angry. We will not be coming back.All three of us ordered the special of 3 pancakes and eggs for $10. We were expecting 3 normal sized pancakes and two eggs as one would think from a menu item "3 pancakes and eggs"We were sitting at our table waiting for our dishes (I wouldn't Even call them meals) for over 40 min just to get breakfast food. Frustrated and starving, we finally get have our food served and we look down to see the smallest measliest 3 silver dollar pancakes and ONE EGG on a plate for brunch. I don't understand who in their right mind would think it's acceptable to serve as a meal one egg and three silver dollar pancakes that were all incredibly mediocre. This was unacceptable. In addition the quality was pathetic. One of our dishes had black burned pancakes and we were served expired orange juice. The orange juice was completely soured and when I told the waiter he acted shocked as if how dare I think the orange juice was bad. This was ridiculous. He took the orange juice off our bill but wouldn't do anything else to accommodate the wait or poor quality. Waiting 40 minutes for 3 measly (burnt) pancakes and AN egg, and being served expired curdled orange juice is completely unacceptable and we were not remotely satisfied. We felt angry and cheated that we just wasted $10 each and an hour of our time on such horrible food.

The burger is great and the service is very good. We actually came here with kids at around 6 and it was ok! It is not a place suitable for kids but it was empty so it worked out well.

The most delicious meal me and my bf Joseph had, hands down, whilst in Philadelphia!!! Tavern on Camac is a 3 level one stop shop for great ambiance, deliciousness and fun!!!We visited on July 25, 2021.Being a native Los Angelino, walking downstairs from street level to The Tavern Restaurant to then see the beautiful exposed beam and brick dining room was SUCH A TREAT!!!Our dinner was SO DELICIOUS. Everything was cooked to perfection(even the salad dressing was delicious, yeesh!). Every bite was savored and appreciated. Bravo to the kitchen on that!!!Shout out also to our server Michael. He was so delightful and personable...Can't wait to come back! 10/10

Our food was decent. Some items were good, some not so good. They should use only the nice, warm Edison lights on the walls and get rid of the bright ceiling lights.
