The food is always amazing here! This prime rib may have become my new favorite! Caesar salad was amazing also! Our server Justin was so attentive offered many options and suggestions which were on point! He was GREAT!

Found in the square of the city. The drinks were on point. The croutons, bun, tenders, and salad dressing were all made in house, definitely an added bonus with quality. The burger was average and the fries were awful, disappointing compared to the other items. Service was friendly and efficient. Parking was just okay. Have to park on street.

I’m in town visiting a friend and she suggested meeting up at Filo’s Tavern for lunch. I ordered the Caesar salad with fried chicken strips . My sister ordered the prime rib French dip and my friend ordered the sword fish sandwich. Everything was delicious and that feels like an understatement. It was definitely the best salad I’ve ever had. Everyone at the table was very happy with the food, service and atmosphere. This restaurant is above and beyond any restaurant I’ve ever been to. They should be famous worldwide! I didn’t think to get photos of our dishes before we ate, but I did snap shots of the restaurant. Thank you for the wonderful experience. Everyone needs to enjoy this place!

I can not recommend this restaurant enough! The atmosphere, the food and the service is phenomenal! Everything we had was perfectly prepared and the servers are friendly and very knowledgeable. The specialty drinks are perfectly balanced. We enjoyed 2 amazing meals here and will be back as often as possible. If you are wondering if it is worth the drive, the answer is YES! You will not be disappointed and will be hooked! Tavern Burger, Pork Belly BLT, Alaskan Halibut, Filet Mignon you can’t go wrong!! And don’t forget the amazing apps Bang, Bang Shrimp and Roasted Cauliflower were so delicious! Can’t forget dessert! The Carrot Cake… BEST I have ever had!!

This spot is a surprisingly good little gastro pub. I really enjoyed talking with the bartender Jazza, who was very friendly with a wonderful attitude. I had the bang bang shrimp which was cooked perfectly but the sauce was candy-sweet. The Hipster fries had great flavor but were drowned in queso, turning them into a soggy mess. I ended up just eating the crisp edges.

The place is really good! Wait staff is so friendly and the chef came out and took our 3 year old grandson into the kitchen to see his cooks. Had the pork belly and the sauce was amazing. Wife had their Tavern burger and said it was fantastic!

This is a great restaurant on the upper scale of food. Easy location on the square with plenty of seating. We started with the Hipster and they were great. Good portion for $8. Our entree’s included the prime rib sandwich, surf and turf, and the Lynchburg whiskey shrimp. Good portion on each and the taste was excellent. Only improvement I could suggest is two more shrimp for the price. Surf and turf included the 8oz filet and a crab cake with whiskey sauce. Finished with a strawberry cheesecake which was slightly over cooked and priced at $15. Outstanding all around and the trip from East Huntsville was about 45 minutes. We will be back.

We tried this place for the first time today. The food was delicious. Definitely one of the top 3 restaurants in the county. We had the steak eggrolls appetizer, chicken pasta (so yummy) and the fried chicken sandwich with mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was some of the best we have ever had. The chicken pasta was top notch. Everything was. Service was good.
