We canoe with New River OutfittersEvery year. Great staff, always helpful. Cool little general store onsite, they take reservations for canoe and tubing trips with van transportation to the river access, float right back to where you start, leave the canoe and walk to your vehicle.

Casual dining with many things to choose from. Baked goods, sandwich salads, wraps, and soup. Yummy quiche! Also homemade cheesecakes, Hershey's ice cream, and more!

We stopped by Harvest Cafe for a quick bite recently. The food was OK, for a place that seems to get a lot of pre-made ingredients from someplace like Sam's Club. Soup was OK, a bit bland, not really hot.. Sandwiches were not especially good--very dry and not heated through. Quesadilla was very dry, very sparsely filled, and served without any salsa, sour cream, or dressing. It desperately needed something. Quesadilla was served whole, instead of sliced. It was difficult to eat. Guests are expected to pay and tip at the counter before receiving any food or service. That's just plain tacky.We would have been happy to have gotten you something different or refunded your meal had you made mention. As far as paying ahead... that's completely normal for sandwich shops. I'm sorry you feel this way.

We visited on a weekday vs weekend as before. Ate on the porch, quick and polite service. Food was average. And it was served hot this time. They weren't nearly as busy during the week - which was expected and may speak to the service and the food being served hot. I can't say that I would highly recommend it though. It is a convenient location with nice servers.

Sometimes better than other times--very inconsistent. The salad bar isn't nearly as good as it once was...cheaper and less fresh ingredients. Daily specials are value-priced, but the quality isn't always great. Food that is actually prepared or cooked in their kitchen tends to be very salty--grilled shrimp, grilled chicken, sauces, pork, green beans, cheesesteak sandwich all too salty (although your mileage may vary...inconsistent). Service is always friendly and accommodating.

Not the best place to sit and eat your pizza, very little sitting area, but WONDERFUL pizza to go. Meat lovers is the way to go. Plain with pepperoni is just sub-par.

We had our family reunion in nearby New River State Park. So we called to have it catered by Smoky Mountain BBQ. We had over 25 folks and the food was wonderful. Everyone loved it and could not stop talking about it.

Went for lunch on a Saturday, waited 20 minutes for a table which wasnât bad. Craft beer and food options were good. Problems we had were slow food and beer service and bad food. We ordered the meatloaf sandwich, burger, cheesesteak, salad with shrimp, flounder sandwich and Cuban sandwich. We waited around 50 minutes for the food. Most of it tasted bad and some was even cold. The childrenâs plates were supposed to come sooner than the adults which apparently meant 45 seconds. There was no apology from any staff member about the wait. I cannot recommend this place. slfood Stefanie,I apologize that you left with such a negative feeling about our hard working team.We take all reviews very seriously and when I see one as uncharacteristic and damaging as the one you left I take immediate action to determine the facts.After reviewing all of the tickets from lunch on Saturday I was able to locate the 3 tickets from your visit based on the list of items that you provided in your post. I also talked directly to your server, Hannah (who happens to be one of our Senior Shift Managers), to the Manager on Duty (Kristen) and several other staff members that were on duty at the time.If we make a mistake we live up to it and do our best to make it right, however, in this case I see no errors nor do I see anything that would warrant such a negative review. I ask that you remove it, however, I understand if you elect not to.I did want to respond with the following account of what actually took place based on our records, what my staff relayed to me.12:55 â your party was sat on our Pub side right next to the door12:58 â you were greeted by your server, Hannah 13:06 â Hannah entered your initial order of the Cauliflower Appetizer, the Artichoke Dip & Chips and the Kidâs Mac & Cheese with Apples along with a couple of beers13:09 â Beers arrived and Hannah was ready to take the Adult orders but two of your party were not at the table as one was apparently attending to an unhappy childOnce Hannah was able to get the rest of the orders they were entered into our system.13:20 â Kids plates and appetizers arrived13:35 â remaining items were deliveredOne couple in your party had to leave as their child was not happy so we boxed their food at their request. There was actually a beer already ordered and poured for one of those that had to leave so we removed it from the bill and had to pour it out.Several times your table was visited by Hannah and Kristen and there was never an indication that there were any issues.14:07 â the check was split into 3 different checks as requested14:16 â everyone signed their checks, leaving Hannah $26 in tips (Thank you)14:29 â Hannah finalized the transactions14:35 â That table was cleaned and ready for the next guestsI am still totally at a lost as to why our efforts to serve your group resulted in an âAvoidâ comment. We are human and we do make mistakes but I certainly could not find one here. Hannah is quite upset as she felt that she bent over backwards and even commented that she shared some laughs with you party as she also has a young child that can be a challenge at times. We simply do not believe that your review is a true indication of what actually occurred and sincerely apologize if that is how you left feeling about your experience with us.If there is any doubt to my or my teams' commitment to providing exceptional service to each guest that visits us, regardless of the challenges that some quest present, then please ask my good friends Joel and Andrew at Four Saints about me and Boondocks Brewing.I do hope that you visit with us again soon and that you next experience will redeem your trust in us.At your service,Gary â Founder [email protected]

We arrived for lunch about 11:00 last Sunday. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We each ordered a custom hamburger and fries. Our burgers were good, not spectacular. The fries were very good. We were able to get in and out quickly, and our meals were reasonably priced. Overall we enjoyed a pleasant lunch.

We were directed here by the host at Buffalo Tavern B&B and we were so glad she did. We sat outside on the terrace during a beautiful evening. The food was delicious and the service was great. We even took advantage of the discounted wine Wednesdays. The owner even came out and introduced himself and chatted for awhile.First, let us say thank you for taking out the time to write a review on the Hotel Tavern! We love to get feedback on the restaurant so again, thank you! We were very pleased to hear your dining experience with us was an enjoyable one. We pride ourselves on a clean restaurant that is run professionally all while serving quality food. Next time you stop by, make sure to say hello to one of the owners again!

We ate here with family who live in the area and they said that this is the 'go-to' place in the area. We were not disappointed with the service or the meal, both of which were excellent.
