“ My friends and I met up there for a couple drinks after apartment hunting. The people were so nice. The atmosphere was chill. The menu is very reasonable. Even though we only had appetizers, they were good. We look forward to going again. ”
“ I have lunch here regularly. It's a great place to meet family & friends to watch sports and eat onion rings and delicious wings. They have a home town, neighborhood atmosphere here. There is a full service bar with awesome staff waiting to serve you and your friends. ”
“ Good food and good service. I really liked the Tavern like atmosphere. I also like that it’s conveniently located in more of a neighborhood area with ample parking instead of one of the city’s more trendy dining districts. From what I could see, it appears the tavern also has a loyal group of local lunchtime visitors, something so many places lack these days. If you are looking for good food and a comfortable laidback tavern-like atmosphere in a local neighborhood setting, I highly recommend checking this place out. You won’t be disappointed. ”
“ We came over the weekend and had Julianna as our waitress. Our service was so amazing! All the food was great. We got grouper bites, wings, and the shrimp basket. We would definitely come again 10/10 ”
“ We are regulars and are remembered by staff. They also remember what we like to drink. That’s nice. We’ve been places, often enough, and they act like they’ve never seen you; we quit those kind of places after a while. The foods good and they have different things going on throughout the week. ”
“ I really like cowtown. I go there often. The Tavern burger is my once a week burger. The BBQ chicken flat bread is amazing! The wings are great! It is a nice place to get together with people. I like that the owner is always improving the place. The waitresses are really nice. All around good place. ”
“ I decided to take my fiance here to watch the Super Bowl and I am so glad I did. The food was good, the customer service was amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect. As a Philadelphia native I didn’t expect many Eagles fans but it was a nice mix. Everybody was so nice and down to earth. Haley was the absolute BEST! She helped us with our order and kept the drinks coming. The prices are worth it especially with the quality of the food and service. This place is a hidden gem! My fiance and I plan on coming back again and again ”
“ Out on the town and stumbled across this delight when searching for lunch. We loved everything! Fish and chips special was scrumptious, cocktails cold and refreshing. Definitely going back! Parking ample, located in shopping plaza. ”
