Other than arriving early for my reservation, Burntwood Tavern was a huge disappointment. At 6 PM the restaurant lighting was appropriate for a cafeteria. The server was annoyingly attentive, on numerous occasions interrupting a conversation with, "Is everything okay?" There were no salt and pepper shakers on the table. Perhaps for the reason that my hamburger and fries were much too salty. The water glasses were heavy and thick-rimmed. The hamburger was too large for the bun. The restaurant was too noisy, exacerbated by a singer/guitar player who simply was not that good.

This restaurant was a typical tavern type menu. Nothing special. Food was good but not special. Our server was great! We ate outside on the playground side and it was noisy with kids running back and forth to parents seated at the restaurant. I think this is a major issue to people wanting to eat outside without their kids. However it is terrific for parents with kids! Probably won’t be back.

Great daily deal for happy hour - 3:00-6:00 pm - half price appetizers (they are generous portions) and drink/wine/beer specials! We made the apps our dinner… especially recommend the chicken sliders and calamari. Attentive service. Enjoy while the in-season crowds are gonzo!

Don't usually leave a poor review. Unfortunately after making a reservation, we were seated at a table quickly. We ordered drinks and an appetizer, with in minutes of receiving the appetizer our table was swarmed with bar flies...it was gross! We changed tables, but still no relief. We swatted and tried to ignore but it was disgusting watching them land on food. Neither of us finished our food. We got the check and left, I don't think I will return to this location. The waiter apologized, I felt sorry for him that this was his station. I'm sure his customers will not be pleased. The first table we sat at was back by the kitchen, the second was across from that in the center isle. Really you should deal with this Fly problem pronto!

The front door was open which made the restaurant humid and warm. We fought with some fruit flies while trying to enjoy our drinks and conversation during a business dinner. We had to ask for water a couple times before receiving them. The food was average. On the other hand, the restaurant is decorated very well.

We dined on Father's Day for the first time and was not IMPRESSED! Firstly, our meal was lukewarm at best. Secondly, our server brought my husband red wine instead of the white that he ordered. Thirdly, our server did not know her menu. We asked if the spring salad came with the avocado toast and she stated NO! We showed her the menu and she said, " Oh I guess it does". To end our dining experience she laid the check book on top of the candle which was burning and it started to MELT! It's pretty safe to say we will not be going back!!!!

We had such a great meal last month at the Bell Tower location we decided to try out this one. The atmosphere isn’t as charming and the food wasn’t nearly as good, despite the same dishes ordered. Shrimp and cauliflower were okay but the cauliflower to go was soggy even after heating up in the air fryer. The calamari was good. Service a tad slow as the waitress was missing for water refills and the check. Would stop for a happy hour but not a great value for the regular prices.

We were seated at our reserved time with server, Brandon, who was obviously new! He knew nothing about the wine list. We place our order about 35 minutes after being seated and wait. 30 minutes later Brandon comes by to tell us he forgot to put our order in and would bring us champagne to assuage his mistake! We said no to the champagne and suggested he buy us a round of cocktails instead! No response and the champagne shows up! Now the asst mgr comes over and says “it’s not as if someone died” we just forgot to put in your order! Totally inappropriate comment when the guest we brought just lost her daughter! Very insensitive of her!

I was excited to go to Burntwood Tavern based on the menu and reviews but I was disappointed by the Mothers Day buffet brunch. The food was average at best. The omeletes from the omlette bar were burnt, the bacon was undercooked and sitting in grease, there as no sausage, the waffles were cold, hard and dry (no butter to add). the sorted deserts were bland. They looked like they went to costo and bought some bulk items but they weren't as good as what you get at costco. The options were assorted cookies (dry), small brownie bites, apple cobbler (mushy) and some other mushy item in a minature cupcake paper that we couldn't tell what it was. Everything was very average at best. Definitely not worth the $39.00 per person.

Felt lucky to get a reservation at the last minute, but when we got there the place was 2/3 empty with an entire section closed. Was seated by a table of 8 to 10 that were very loud. So loud, we could barely have a conversation of our own. They were there from the time we arrived and still there when we departed. They were well lubricated simply by the number of drinks they consumed just while we were there. Anyway, the food was ok, but we won't be returning any time soon.

Everything was very good. Pleasant staff especially the omelet maker. Not too noisy. Able to carry on conversation with no problem. Some items low and warm at best which were waffles and scrambled eggs. Our reservations at 2 and we were seated prompted Omelet was great as were desserts. Carving station excellent. Reasonably priced. We will return.

We went for Easter Buffet because we previously had a great meal there. Buffet was a disappointment as my main salmon dish was dry and cold and the desserts were very disappointing. There was a self serve Bloody Mary station where servers acknowledged that the bottles were not working properly but did nothing to assist. Looks like they just took cookies from packages in the grocery store. The service was outstanding. Would go back just not when they are in holiday buffet mode.
