Tavern 109 Reviews

Enhanced bar food, nice selection of beers, relaxed atmosphere.

I love this restaurant. It's become our hot-spot for kid-free date nights. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly and super helpful to describe anything iyn the menu. The food is a little different - lots of tastes I wouldn't think to put together (their swine Mac n cheese is good!). I love trying different beers/Ciders on tap from local breweries too.

Service and food were great! Drinks were a little light but overall would highly recommend.

Food is good but pricy. Much of the seating is high tables and stools and is not comfortable.

Fantastic atmosphere, and the food is even better. The meatless wonder sandwich and chicken and waffles are favorite specialty items. Their specialty drinks and beer selection is also great.

Love the flat bread pizzas and shrimp and grits. Great friendly staff. Comfortable. Great location.

Great food and service. They have great burgers and specialty dishes. Perfect for family dinners or a date night.

I can't even begin to tell you how amazing this place is! I have gone there several times and it is by far my favorite place! I have tried so many thing on the menu and every single one of them has been made to perfection. You can close your eyes and point to an item on the menu and you will love what ever comes out!

The staff is alway so nice and friendly! The drinks there a also great! The top five items I will recommend to you are:

Any of the burgers
Swine and Mac
Lobster and Mac
Any of the pizzas
Salmon

Good food, nice atmosphere, quaint, Michigan....small dowtown.

Really good food. Great service. Comfortable atmosphere.

Good, interesting food. Somewhat slow service at lunch.

As always, the food was delicious and the ambiance very pleasant. Can't wait to return!

Amazing food. I highly recommend their honey glazed salmon with sweet potato mash. One of the best meals I have ever had.

Ginger/Carrot Bisque , Tavern Salad w/chicken, Fish and Chips all were outstanding!! A real nice cup of coffee and Spinach/Artichoke dip appetizer. We really enjoyed our lunch. Service was excellent!!

Had a very pleasant experience. I had a sandwich I believe the tavern 109 club with fries and it was excellent, the service was perfect with no awkward interruptions during our meal and we weren't rushed.

A really fun and vibrant place. Make reservations. We had them for 6:30 last night and the wait would have been an hour. Food is good and lots of drink options.

Loved the atmosphere here. Dinner was good and had great happy hour beer specials. Definitely going back.

Great meal and drinks. Finished with these awesome desserts - Bourbon Bread Pudding and a Cream puff ice cream sundae with chocolate ganache

Very good food, great service and decent prices. Great atmosphere. I will be back

There is nothing better than this place. I happily make the 20 minute drive often!! Honestly the best food you'll have!

It was the first time we visited Tavern 109 and we were blown away by the great food, friendly service, and awesome setting. This could be are new hangout!

My husband and I had dinner at the 109 a couple nights ago. We had the smoked whitefish dip - excellent - as an appetizer. The hubs ordered the mustard crusted whitefish dinner and I had the lobster mac and cheese. He loved his dinner, mine had too much heat from the chili's so I had it wrapped to take home for someone else to enjoy. I was disappointed but decided to have dessert. Berry crisp with vanilla ice cream and it was fantastic. My husband had a piece of the peanut butter pie wrapped to take home and loved it. Service was good and one lady who helped us offered to remove the mac/cheese from our bill but we felt it wasn't necessary. Nice place.

I don't know what Williamston did to deserve such a great restaurant!

First time there and the food was excellent! As Arnold said "will be back "! Nice building and handicap accessible . I think that they have a new cook. The food was good before but it is much better now!

Great place to dine in. I've been here a couple of times and the food is cooked great and it has a nice ambiance. The detailing on the burgers is very unique, my bacon was crisp with a sweet taste and I never had anything like it before. The fish and chips were so good and it was a great portion size. Come here, you won't be disappointed!

Really slow service, Food less than good, should stick to shots ,and Beer!

Black bean soup was excellent. Nice atmosphere, friendly waitress, knowledgeable.

My first impression entering was poor. The hostess didn't come over for a moment and then took a phone call and made a reservation before helping me. The high tables in the bar area are squeezed together and the path to the restroom only allows for one person to walk in either direction at a time. The beer selection was fine, and I did enjoy my beer. The server did not visit our table often but when she did she was very nice. The apple pumpkin bisque sounded delicious but looked unappetizing and was only edible because I was hungry. It came with a plastic packet of dry and flavorless oyster crackers, which I hadn't expected at a nice restaurant. The bird and blue chicken sandwich was better but still not as good as it had sounded. I was also disappointed by the fried apple twist pie, except for the ice cream. The food that stood out was the truffle salt and Parmesan fries. They were amazing. The flavors and the ratio of crunch to chewiness was perfect. I recommend against going if you need timely service. If I was not in any hurry again, I think I would try Tavern 109 again and order something different with the fries.

Super great food!! Nice staff busy but they kept up!!;)

Cute atmosphere. Had the caprese pizza. Expected more flavor so I wouldn t order that again. Service was ok. May try again but wasn t great unfortunately

Great restaurant with good food and a large drink menu with lots of specialty drinks made in house.

Good food.. my buddy got food poisoning after going though.. so.. hit or miss?

Awesome place. They take reservations too! Get the fish and chips, amazing. And the service is top notch.

I was really looking forward to trying this place. 2 stars only because I liked the atmosphere, the wine and beer list and my time with friends for my roommate s birthday. I got raw and tasteless salmon, soggy vegetables, and a very bad attitude from the chef/manager/idk because she never told me. When I told her I didn t like her dish and wanted something else she told me she would try to re-cook everything on my plate (which was not salavage-able in any way). When I said I d prefer a different meal she refused to take off the overpriced salmon from my check because then there wouldn t be enough for the rest of the night. Not sure what this means or how it answers the question?? Maybe she was offended that I didn t like her food, but the same problem happened to my other friend: it was just a terribly made meal. I surely hope nobody else ordered it. Sorry, not going back because they didn t make it right! Treat your customers better or they won t recommend you!

Glad I found this place. Impressive food and drink selections - great staff.

I like spicy but should warn you. Honey mustard dressing spicy and tomato Italian soup spicy.

They take reservations which is awesome. The service was so so, but the food was great. Wouldn t recommend if you don t have a lot of time as it took a while for food and the check, but otherwise a good experience.

Love this place. We actually had a small baby shower in the Putnam Room. Food is amazing. Service perfect. We all had Creme Brulee for dessert! To die for!

Tavern 109 is our favorite place for dinner in Williamston. Especially love the Bad Ass Mussels!

This is my first ever review. It s our anniversary and we came in for dinner. There were two empty tables. One at the entrance to the kitchen and one in the bar. We asked for the one in the bar because.... well I didn t want to sit on top of the kitchen for my anniversary. And I told the hostess that. We were told no that we couldn t have the table in the bar area because there weren t any empty tables in the bar. Apparently we look like folks that are not able to tell the difference between an empty table and an occupied table. I even asked the hostess if the table in the bar was reserved. She said no it wasn t but we couldn t sit there. So.... Tavern 109 folks how do you explain that???

Love this place! The drinks are awesome. They are always switching up the drink menu. Great beers! The food is outstanding. The staff is super friendly. We love coming here for dinner or even just stopping in to have a drink. Great atmosphere. Very clean. Great for date night!

Nice quality creative food. Really enjoyed the Ginger Carrot Curry soup. My Swine and Mac entree (pulled pork mixed with mac and cheese) was very tasty and there was enough that I took some home to fill an omelet for breakfast the next day. My gf' club sandwich was very good too. The fries (Parmesan?) were a nice step up from the same ol', same ol' as well.

Best pizza in town with a pretty good selection of beer. A little on the pricier side but worth it.

Standard pub fare with some surprisingly sophisticated offerings! The carrot ginger curry soup was spicy and fantastic, and the meatless wonder was indeed wonderful. I also had a fig margarita that should be served by the pitcher! So good! It was a little tight (tables were very close it seemed), but our service was friendly and fast given it was a game day in Lansing...

I can't remember the last time I had a meal that good. Every bite was six stars.

Their specialty drinks were delicious and their food was great! The server and bartender was friendly and good at her job!

Food is decent but i would say overpriced, the staff is great, nice but not in your face. The atmosphere and the decorations are also nice. Went there for lunch and it was a peaceful quiet. Has an interesting menu, but all the really good looking stuff has the price to match. I got the chili mac and it was surprisingly good.

As always the food and drink was fantastic! Even as busy as they were our food was hot!

Always visit when I am in town. Love the "krack" bacon...it's its own food group.

Danielle served up great drinks and the culinary staff prepared an amazing pear pizza and black mussels that were amazing

Didn't have anything to eat, but got the best Bloody Mary I've ever had.

Tavern never lets me down. Always top notch. Delicious food and cocktails.

Enjoyed lunch with the hubs. The food was good. The wait staff was good. We didn't pick anything that was especially delicious or out of the world on taste though.

Great waitress, was very nice and brought out little ice drinks (to look like moms) for the kids. Food was very good. Atmosphere is nice. Definitely worth a try.

What a great place. Food and drinks are excellent. Highly recommend.

Great value on Monday Burger and a beer day. Always friendly staff

Had the club sandwich and broccoli and cheese soup for lunch.. delicious!

Wonderful food and drinks! The service was terrfic!

Great place. Love the menu and has options for all types of eaters. Great food and atmosphere!

The food was excellent and the service was super fast and friendly! Will definitely stop again!

Food wasn't hot and the price was a little on the high side for what you get. Service was good.

Great food my server was awesome. I think her name was Danylle

Having been here for the opening five years ago, we've continued to come back even after some mediocre service. However, our latest visit will certainly be our last.

Upon being seated, we did not have enough silverware for our whole party. We only received it after asking specifically for more, and that was after our meal was delivered. We were also only brought three plates for a table of four with our appetizer, and had to ask twice for a fourth plate. We had to ask multiple times for more ketchup as well, which quickly became tiresome.

At the end of our meal, again we were brought two mints for a table of four, and even received a neighboring table's receipt and credit card! Luckily the other table was honest and eager to trade our receipt and credit card for theirs. Yes, the two were switched between our tables which is not only infuriating, but potentially dangerous.

Finally, if a restaurant is going to have coloring pages for children, it's helpful to have the same page for all the children at the table. Providing two different pages inevitably causes arguments. Furthermore, providing a pink page full of material possessions and beauty items, as well as a focus on shopping and consumerism to my daughter is completely unacceptable on multiple levels. In fact, that may have been enough to lose my business altogether. The page with animals that my son received would have been perfectly acceptable for them both, as well as any other child in your establishment.

Nice place exceeded expectations definitely going back

Excellent service and excellent food! We will come back again.

First time on my 9/11th birthday drink and it's a CHAMP!!!

Great food, wonderful atmosphere. (Best grits btw!)
