    Great historic place, but the environment is not quiet. It's relaxed, nothing too fancy, good food. Service was good as well.

    Very mediocre food. No bread served and nothing comes with your meal. Too much money for what you get

    The history and friendly service just screams Kentucky. Should be on everyone’s checklist of things to see and do in the state. If your are on the bourbon trail, this is the lunch spot.

    Austyn was terrible. Our food took forever to be served even after waiting an inordinate amount of time to even be greeted. We made the mistake of attempting to order dessert. However, after 20 minutes our dessert wasn’t plated. On top of all that, our bills were messed up and weren’t charged correctly. Brad (the manager) had no clue how to correct the issue. Would not recommend. Also, there was a short curly hair in my shepherd’s pie. P.S., who has red hair?
    Talbott TavernResponded on December 18, 2024
    We're deeply sorry about your experience, Jarrett. We've passed your feedback onto our team and we are going to look into these issues further. We sincerely hope you will give us another try in the future.

    Particularly with a gentle December snow and the Christmas decor of the square …. there is no better place than Talbott Tavern. Thank you, Bethany, for your great service and energy.
