Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Tousey House Tavern offers an inviting, historic setting with consistently "great food and service." Diners rave about "amazing fried chicken" and "delightful atmosphere." The outdoor patio and Sunday brunch are highlights. While some report service hiccups, the ambiance and delicious dishes make it a "gem" worth visiting.

We are "regulars" for Sunday brunch and have always had a great experience. The food and atmosphere are always great. James is an excellent server and the staff is always helpful and pleasant. We were there a few Sundays ago just after a good amount of snowfall. They were short staffed and gracious and very appreciative to the customer for their patience. Love Tousey!!

We had a wonderful birthday celebration lunch at Tousey House Tavern for the third year in a row. We received a warm welcome from the hostess and were promptly seated at the table I had requested by the window. Our server was outstanding and didn’t miss a beat throughout the meal which was delicious as always. We love the historic ambiance, white linen tablecloths and napkins, and fresh flowers on the table. We highly recommend it and look forward to returning in the near future!

Tourney House tavern is a historic spot for a great meal. The menu selection was excellent and the overall food was good. The service was good overall, but the waiter did accidentally spill a drink on someone in our party, and did not offer to over the cost of the drink or any other item not the bill. Overall the experience was good and I would go back for a nice dinner!
