    The food is decent here and the people are nice but the place is always slammed and the restaurant just can’t handle it. The service is very slow ( we waited 45 minutes for our food) and we have need up getting to-go containers as soon as we got our food because we had already been there over an hr and a half and things seemed to be getting more chaotic. The table next to us was brought the wrong food twice and our waitress brought me a side salad that I didn’t order…after we had gotten the takeout boxes. I don’t think we will be back, which is disappointing because we liked their food and they have a great whiskey and bourbon list. But if it takes 20 minutes to get each drink, it’s not a great experience.

    Our server, Sophie, was fantastic! The food was very good but not quite a 5. The menu has a great variety and we all enjoyed our dinners. We had a very enjoyable evening!

    We have eaten at Breakneck Tavern several times but this time was a disappointment. We usually order dinners, but we had a late lunch and didn’t want a large meal. My wife ordered a Cobb Salad with Chicken, the salad had so much dressing that it puddled on the plate. The chicken was good, but there was only 3 small slices, probably 1/3 of the chicken breast at most. I got a Cheeseburger, which was good, it came with a side of fries that arrived cold. These two items totaled $36. The value is certainly not there. Neither of us enjoyed our meal.

    The back room was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Our waitress was outstanding. I would like to see some changes on their menu.

    Perhaps bc it was Christmas eve... server friendly but forgot our wine. Beet salad very good. Entrees both very salty. The butternut squash that came with mine was hard, way undercooked. Asked for our dessert order before we were done eating as they wanted to close the kitchen. If you're going to rush patrons then close earlier on Christmas eve. We appreciated the fire place. First time there. Will not be back.
