I have burgers this good maybe a few times a year, if that. And the beer selection is nicely curated. Fries were a little limp but no big deal. Service was good. Will be back if I’m ever in the area.
Always great food and service, including great beer selection.
Great food and atmosphere. Got a Cobb salad. It filled me up.
Beautiful place. My family and I stop here everytime we come visit my sister at school. Burgers and beers are always amazing. You have the option to sit inside or outside. Staff is wonderful.
Pretzel sticks were great. Tried both the house cheese sauce and the mustard, and both were better than even anticipated. Our server Charlotte had great suggestions (get lettuce and the southwest dressing with the filet steak bowl, you wont regret it.) The fries and onion rings baskets were plentiful and inexpensive as well as house made. Wonderful experience for having stopped by at random. The atmosphere was upbeat, and friendly with a nice mix of chill music for a nice afternoon. Such a nice stop.
Dylan did an amazing job of catering to our dining needs. Tasty food and decent prices. I recommend you visit this spot if ever in Genesee.
Cozy atmosphere for a few beers with friends. Great service and the brie burger and French onion soup were a nice treat on a snowy day.
Its far removed from the old Walts Tavern that used to be there. Great beer selection and Adams barbecue was great. Highly recommended.
Very good place! Food was great and fairly priced. Loved the French Onion Soup and the burger. Attentive service.
Bartender Chris is the flippin best! Hes so personable and willing to make sure youre taken care of
Stopped by the Village Tavern for a late night dinner. It was a beautiful summer evening so we sat outside. The service was friendly and prompt. We both had wings and they were incredible. I had mild wings, which had a nice kick! My wife had the garlic parmesan wings, which were tasty!!! If you are traveling through the area I would highly recommend the Village Tavern!
Great place with super nice and attentive staff not to mention delicious food. Will be going back again. And again...
Great food, great beers, and great service! The Village Tavern is always a go-to for our family!
Been going at least once a year since my daughter started school at Geneseo. Always good food and drink. Rattle snake wings are the best. This was a cobb salad.
This place amazing! The service was spectacular and their burgers paired with their homemade chips was such a treat. They have a list of of different brews from lagers to plasner to ales; I highly recommend their Scottish ale it truly quenched the thrist in all the right ways. Will definitely be back again.💞
Great place food is always good service is great very friendly and large selection of craft beers
The Village Tavern was very busy tonight. The gentleman who seated us was super friendly and very we received prompt service. We started with a house salad (which was great for sharing) and ordered Buffalo cheese curds and I ordered the burger on special. It was cooked to perfection and the homemade chips were the perfect compliment to the burger. Looking forward to coming back soon.
Located in an historic tavern it is easily the best pub in Geneseo. Its diverse and extensive craft beer offerings are sure to please. The food and atmosphere are a pleasure.
Great beer selection! Even better food.
Amazing food giant size portions . Chicken tenders are great burgers awesome. Onion rings the best I ever had. Service was awesome . Would drive an hour again to come back.
Wow! Serving is good! Food is good! Music is good! Try this restaurant! You and your friends will be happy!
Hidden gem! The food is well prepared and always delicious. Specials rotate frequently and are unique. Prices seem reasonable and drinks are cheap but good! Downside is that the inside is always cold, and the atmosphere is not very cozy or inviting. Make sure to try their poutine and steak & blue salad!
Very nice dining experience. Good food and very pleasant service. Loved the chips
Excellent brew choices. Always something new to try. Beer sampling the 1st Wednesday of the month is awesome! Food is typical bar fare, but they have added a big game burger to the menu which changes constantly.Covid had shortened the hours, but the food continues to be excellent.The homemade desserts are next level.
We had a really nice time tonight at Village Tavern. Our server Deanna was really sweet and gave us excellent service. We had a couple apps and some burgers and they were great. Everything tasted super fresh and was cooked to perfection. We rarely get to go out and it was a great time tonight, were looking forward to coming back!
The menu has a good mix of classic and creative options. I didnt like the apple pepper sandwich, but this is more due to me choosing the wrong item. My aunt and cousins Reubens looked amazing as a well as the tots and fries. They have a great beer selection, but at the time I visited they did not have my first or second option in stock.Overall this restaurant is good for what it is. I would come back.
Amazing food, amazing servers. Filet mignon is on point. Burgers cooked to perfection. I recommend the steak fajita bowl. Its mouth watering thank you for amazing food and great service we will travel back here from 2 hours away just to eat here
They were busy. Had tables outside or inside. Had a sandwich and both my husband and myself loved them. Nice place to stop for a bite. I am vegetarian. So they had a few items for me.
Fried calamari, fried pickles, and eggroll apps all cooked PERFECTLY. Wings were juicy and cooked to perfection. 1821 burger was MASSIVE and mouthwatering. The chips are obviously fresh and homemade, thick, and perfectly crispy. Never had a turkey reuben before this, but it was light and melty goodness. The Taco salad was ginormous and the best you could ever imagine. The apple brie sandwich was also delicious and so filling. Finished it all off with a hazelnut chocolate chip cake that just topped off the dinner perfectly -light and creamy, and perfectly sweet enough to make you say oh my God. Service was great. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Youll probably spend more here than youd expect for a sandwhich or a burger, but you will NOT regret it! the taste and size is totally worth it! Thanks for a perfect evening !
Called in advance for a pickup order at 3:15pm, for a 7pm pickup. Was told this wasn’t possible as “the kitchen doesn’t know where they will be at” and was told to please call at 6pm. Ok, fair enough. I guess I can understand that. So I call at 6pm, and I’m told “the kitchen isn’t taking takeout orders at this time.” I said well I tried to call at 3:15pm for this order but you told me it wasn’t possible and to call at 6, now I call at 6 and it isn’t possible either? To which I was told “sorry about that.” Been a customer since they opened and have forgiven them for similarly bad customer service issues in the past, but can’t forgive this one. Food is a solid 8/10, but customer service/management/operations is a 0/10. Unfortunately, this was my last time (attempting) to placing an order with this place.
Cozy place with creative food options as well as bar foods and a large selection of beers on tap.
Fantastic service from all of the staff and very clean!! I sat at the bar and though the window I could see the cooks and the care they put into each plate was fun to watch!!!! Ashley the bartender was awesome and is top notch!!! Thank for a great lunch!!
The food and drinks were amazing! We ordered burgers and margaritas. The burgers were cooked to perfection. We also shared our fries, chips, tater tots, and poutine - all delicious. Unfortunately we were too full to order dessert. I will definitely return when I’m in the area again. Our waiter was Dylan and he was the best! He was very friendly and made our experience one to remember. 😀
This is a must visit! A unique CHEERS like atmosphere, both on tap and local brewers available, with a generous menu of HAND-made entrees. The Village Tavern is an unexpected treat, so much so, that the six of us went TWICE while on our vacation.
First time. Definitely wont be the last! Food was cooked to perfection. Homemade ranch dressing and desserts. Waitress was super friendly. Great atmosphere. Sooooo good!!!
It was a fun place to dine on a Sunday afternoon. We ate on the patio. The drinks were cold, the food was warm and very tasty. The wait staff was pleasant, and attentive. I have driven by many times but this will be one of my go-to places in Geneseo.
Great place to eat, gets busy really fast. Excellent service, friendly waitstaff. Limited menu options possibly due to COVID. I plan on going back.
Great place. My first experience here. Had the Wagyu burger...WOW! Would highly recommend it! Eat at the bar , service was excellent!
Service and food were very good. Had a delicious chocolate stout.
I ordered my food around 3. I was told to pick it up at 5:30. I arrived at 5:25. My fried and onion rings were both cold and undercooked. My rueben was a soggy burned mess. I swear the pastrami looked like they scraped the bottom of the pan and tossed it on the bread.I ate it because I was hungry and I paid almost $40 for two sandwiches.This visit was a disaster. Never again. It’s a shame, they used to be a good restaurant.
Food was very good servers were gerat.
Great food, great beer, great people. Make sure you check it out.
Outstanding! The food is excellent. Pretty much everything made in house. They have some wing sauces there that are literally the beat I have ever had. We ate at the bar and the bartender was A+. We had a good chat and hes a very attentive server as well. Also a very nice selection of beers on tap. Do not miss this place! Its now officially my favorite place in Geneseo!
Got the Cowboy Burger-- best burger Ive had in many years, maybe ever! Everything was really good. My date got the fish fry and it looked awesome and she said it was really good. Service was very friendly and the heated outdoor tent was perfect for comfortable dining in the current times (it was about 40° and we were perfectly toasty).Loses 1 star only because the dessert was subpar (but rarely get dessert so not a big deal for me) and mostly because the bathroom is not well equipped. There are no towels to dry your hands and grab the door handle to leave and a disease-spreading elec. hand dryer right by the toilet in a maybe 4x5 room is just a NO. It would be a cheap, easy fix to get a roll of paper towels in a cheap towel holder and/or install a long handle with a pop-lock rather than a knob with a twist lock on the door so you could use your elbow and didnt have to put your hand all over to unlock then turn it. Boom-- problem solved!Either way, I will be back to get a burger again and to try more of the menu! Ill just bring a few paper towels in my purse.
Service is prompt and friendly. Had pulled pull panini and fish fry. Both were delicious and great selection of beers. Our go to in Geneseo to relax and unwind.
Delicious food, clean, good service even when theyre busy. The outdoor seating is fun. I highly recommend the mushu egg rolls
Good wings, nice menu. Good selection of craft and traditional beers
Food and service were both great
Nice comfort food. Good service. Good choice of beers. Decent prices. Nice patio.
Comfortable environment, comfort food, fabulous service!Loaded tater tots! Oh, my gosh! Delicious! Fattening! Yum! From the bison burger special which was devoured in record time, the chicken tenders described as best ever, the burger lover who said out of 5 counties of burger joints that hed come back here, we were all pleased with our food.I cant recall our servers name, uniquely spelled, she was fabulous. We are quite the bunch with quite a load of personality, she handled us like a pro and joined right in with our goofiness. A few special requests for the fussy one in the group didnt phase her, she made a few suggestions and was so much fun we wanted to invite her to sit down and join us. The food was great, but she made the visit fabulous and one we will remember and compare others to. She needs a raise for putting up with customers like us! 😆
Absolutely AMAZING! Totally suggest! They are doing a great job with social distancing and all too. I had poutine, totally suggest, and my friend had the mo hot wings. All of it is good!
Cant say enough good things about this place- portions are generous, food is delicious!The coconut fried shrimp was excellent- many places fail to make it as well as Village Tavern does. Their flavor was perfect, but, the dipping sauce added just enough of a kick to make them even better.Wings were not bad at all, although I am biased because I worked at a bar that made the best wings ever. The bleu cheese had a unique taste that I thoroughly enjoyed because it didnt seem to be something that you would get in a grocery store.Fried cheese curds. I just wish more restaurants would serve them.There are many more items on the menu that I would like to try including wraps and burgers, so I will definitely return.As for atmosphere, its a very comfortable and clean place. Well worn, it makes you feel right at home as soon as you walk in the door. Beautiful woodwork and nifty features like a hidden booth, with enough TVs for you to keep an eye on your favorite sports scores or games.Booze? I didnt get to try any, but it appeared that they have a huge selection of anything brewed or distilled- if you cant find a bottled beer or draft in this place, you should probably go back a second time and keep browsing the drink menu.Didnt have to wait for a table, though it was peak dinner time, and it didnt take long for the food to be delivered.Wait staff was excellent. Didnt have to ask for anything.Awesome place.
Their burgers are top notch. Service is fast, wait staff is experienced, knowledgeable and personable. Noticed them greeting regulars when they walked in. Love sitting at the bar. Cool to watch the bartenders make the drinks. Always stop in before going to the hockey games at Geneseo!
Loved the food and the service was very personable.
Good service. Great burger, blue cheese&bacon. Ordered it medium. Was perfectly pink where it should be, notably juicy but not greasy. Had a charcoal essence as if grilled outdoors. Very nice.Huge beer menu but several we wanted had just tapped out. ... Personally, I always find these happenings to be less just happened, than an establishments way of thinning the menu without having to change it.Given the great number of offerings and being located in a NOT so large city, my suspicion is that hard knock lessons have taught to keep on hand what sells well, let run out what doesnt and push the next on the list that needs to run out. I say that because each time the waitress came back to tell us the beer had left the building, a perfect replacement was given.To test the theory, Id have to return in a week and ask for the original beer ordered again. If out at that time, Id say pretty much, thats whats happening, the thinning of the beer menu to avoid loss. Problem is, the draw to the place, in part, IS the beer menu much as a coffee houses draw is the different lattes etc. If a syrup is always out, then it was never really in.It would be best to use a chalk board and write in limited offerings than to pass a pub off as being a beer garden of sorts only to learn its really just a bar with good burgers and a few niche beers.
Honestly we had such an enjoyable night out on Monday. After a long hard day of work I asked my husband if he wanted to do a date night out since we havent been able to eat out because of covid. We decided to go to The Village Tavern for dinner. There was adequate signage to let us know about masks and when we need to wear them. We went inside and we were than asked if he wanted to eat inside or outside we chose to eat outside. It was a beautiful night and our waiter was amazing. She came and checked on us multiple times but not too many times. Our entrees are brought out maybe 4 minutes after appetizer was. Sitting outside was wonderful wasnt too hot and the other people were spaced adequately around us. Did not feel crammed at all especially with the whole covid situation. Im very pleased and would definitely recommend this place to friends. We will be back.
My wife ate there a few times with her girlfriend and said it was very good. She wasnt lying. Its not fancy or upscale. In fact, kind of a small inside dining area and a bar. Although they do have outdoor seating as well when the weather allows. They have a decent selection of Craft beers and the food is above average. The dining area is clean and the staff are friendly and knowledge about the food and beer. Todays featured lunch was a short rib burger with grilled pineapple, roasted jalepeno, black pepper bacon, fontina cheese and a chili mayo dressing on the side. Both burgers were cooked exactly as requested and were served on a soft toasted roll. It was delicious. This is the second time I have eaten there and was not disappointed. I will go back again and would happily recommend this establishment.
Got there at prime time on a Friday night,waitress was right to our table,very friendly,drinks were fast,food was awesome,Ill go back there every time Im in Geneseo,
Delicious food, great service!
Great beer selection (~50 at any given time) and excellent food.I have a tendency to be particular about seating and service.If I am not with a group I want a bar seat... its the only away to assure you can take advantage of their bar staffs willingness to help you sample and discover new beers. If its after five you can forget a bar seat. Especially on (delicious) taco Tuesday.
Nice little place for the cute town Geneseo is. They rave that their wings are award winning but honestly they are not that great. I have had way better in many other places. The food is alright if anything and so are the drinks. Where this places scores is their nice little patio that is pleasant to sit in. I guess I only say that because I come from a big city.The service is pretty good but it can get very slow when the place is busy. Simply put, their kitchen and staff is not built to serve the place when it is full. You will have to wait a long time. Overall I think it is alright for a one time visit if you are in that area.
Fantastic food and beer menu! The Hangover burger was superb, as were the fried pickles with dill sauce. Ill definitely be stopping by when I drive through next time. Ashley, the bartender, was not only cool, she was also very knowledgeable.
3 visits so far - high quality food and great service. I eat out a lot, and rarely leave reviews. Highly recommend this spot.
A bit cramped inside, but plenty of outdoor seating makes up for it. Fantastic food and an extensive draft list. Great place for lunch.
Good food, good beer, good wait staff. Lousy music, but thats just my opinion
Daily special - Blackened Ahi tuna tacos were amazing. Service was good and they had a nice beer list. I would definitely go back, if Im in town again.
Great Food, Great Service, and Great Atmosphere. Not a lot of local choices in town outside fast food chains but the Village Tavern is worth stopping in at.
The village tavern has exceptional food and excellent service. Ive stopped by a few times and really enjoy the small community feel along with the great assortment of beers on tap. Thank you, Ill certainly be back.
Loved the Pinot Noir and the egg rolls were amazing! Do yourself a favor and stop here to eat, have a beer and good conversation. We will be back for sure. Delicious!
Great beer selection, friendly environment and fun atmosphere. I have stopped in many times during a long drive, and enjoyed conversations with the staff and other people at the bar. Food is tasty. The service is great. They always play great music and have sports on the TVs. Definitely stop by!
Myself and my girlfriend have been here several times within the past 6 months and each time has been wonderful. The food has always been great and we have tried several of the items on the menu. She really looks forward to getting a fish fry at the end of the week and I love the pulled pork tacos on Taco Tuesday. Do yourself a favor and stop in.
Service great! Wait staff awesome! Needs to expand the bar area! Too noisy, too close to dining area. Move the restrooms into backroom space not used (its small, dark and uncomfortable anyhow) and open more area in front room and bar.
Decent place. Due to the smaller size, it did upset my claustrophobia. But as this was my issues, the place made everything sound louder. Due to the acoustics, I must knock off a star.The food was pretty decent. My grandma had poutine and I had a cheeseburger. But she didnt finish it. I think it was due to her TMI issues.Anyway. I think a nice place expansion would be good to see. I like the cozy place, but I cant handle it during Dinner Rush. Cheers lads and ladies.Everyone here seems happy when I visit here. Even the bartenders look happy somehow.
Came here for the rehearsal dinner for our wedding. It was supposed to be a casual event, and they gave us the entire beer garden to hang out in. The servers were attentive and the food/drinks were great. Chris, the manager/bartender was especially accommodating. He ended up being the bartender for our wedding at Wadsworth down the road as well. Definitely recommend this place for a night out or any event.
I may or may not deliver beverages to this establishment, however I rarely eat anywhere I may or may not deliver. But on my night off I decided to try it and...Holy Hell the good is outta this world! The burrito is amazing! The turkey burger was seasoned perfectly and freakin delicious. You sit down and see what might be a “small” menu but it doesn’t matter. The burrito was huge and whoever decided on portions, thank you very much. It’s a joint to go get a brew and eat some superb food! Just Go!
Tasty food, great beer options and good service. Love the buffalo chicken wrap. Do not miss dessert, they are made in house and they will blow your mind.
This joint was incredible! From the food to their in-house beer selection, you cant go wrong. I really wish I didnt live 6 hours away, this would be a regular stop otherwise.
Beer: excellent selection from domestic to craft. Food: also excellent with a very creative menu that rotates, not consistently, so as to not steal away your favorite before you get tired of it, but often enough that youll never be bored. Atmosphere: indoor/outdoor seating, smaller but cozy. Staff: friendly, but can come across as a bit judgy from time to time. Overall not a deal breaker. Probably the best place to grab a bite and pint in Geneseo.
The food was ok but customer service was terrible. They could care less if customer was happy, just wanted you out to get the next table in. We were cold outside and told we couldn’t move to inside, then when we were done eating, told we could sit at the bar to finish our drinks if there were seats, then told we couldn’t, so left our drinks and won’t go back.
Fantastic beer selection and the food is incredible. Have never had a bad meal there.Personally love their Wings and Ahi Tuna Tacos.
The best beer selection in town. A must-go for visitors. Great bartenders. Obviously the twisted tavern wings are amazing (undefeated best in the valley), and nothing goes better with that than their poutine. But if its Friday, always go for the beer battered fish fry. The side of veggies balances so well and they have perfect cole slaw.
Great food, greater service, greaterer beer. Seriously though, Chris is fantastic. I have only eaten at the bar several times, but I have observed the great staff in the dining room. Very attentive. Good solid menu and always great specials. I enjoy the burger mix with short rib meat and brisket in there. Amazing selection of beers on tap. Especially for the area. You can always take a crowler or three with you when you go. Or make your own 4 packs from the cooler stocked with some really great craft cans. I cant recommend this place enough.
Good Food and good beer. To expensive though. Took my 2 sons for burgers (2) there had 2 beers and 2 orders of fries and order of Pretzels which came out as only 2 per order anywhere else 4 per order. $65.00 before gratuit ($10.00). These are large city prices, liked the place but wont be going back, to expensive for lunch in Geneseo NY.
This was our first and last visit. I ordered a well-done burger with chips, because fries are extra. I got a burger that was at best medium rare and limp fries. Daughter#1 ordered fish tacos with the sauce on the side, but it came covered in sauce. Daughter#2 ordered a chicken wrap and after eating half, found a fat fuzzy moth in it. Waitress never returned although we needed napkins and drink refills, so I flagged down another server who took the moth wrap away and comped her meal. So disappointed, especially since this was supposed to be a special day for my daughters wedding dress fitting.
Friendly helpful staff and good food, very large selection of craft beers.
Food was very good but I took it to go because I traveled all day. No silverware, napkins, ketchup. Because I didnt ask, but it was to go...
Party of 5 for lunch.on Sun, 22 Feb 2015. We were greeted upon entering.(Staff is friendly.)We were seated promptly.I sampled 2 draft beers, one of which I ordered with lunch.The food was proper temp, tasty, and reasonably priced. We had excellent service from Kalliopi. We will definitely return when we are again in the area.
Great variety menu. Friendly staff, efficient service. We ate outside (social distancing guidelines were being followed). Loved the quesadilla and the poutine.
Good selection of beers on tap, some of the more exotic selections tend to soar a bit in prices per glass. Very good burgers and flat bread pizza, and bring a friend to help you with the loaded tots you wont be disappointed.
Always love the Village Tavern. Excellent food and a great choice of drafts.
Amazing place to see if you havent been. We had a guided tour that was out of this world amazing. The guy was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about all displays there. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a tour.
I had a dinner salad and one of their specialty burgers ! First of all it was the best blue cheese dressing I have ever had and I am from buffalo lol the waitress said it was homemade !! I hope they sell it ! I also had the burger with fresh mushrooms , spinach and Brie it was delicious!!
Very good food in a comfortable location and lots of beers on tap great atmosphere
When I called asking to place a to go order, the guy on the phone said they dont do that anymore when in the past they have. When I inquired as to why, he was super rude on the phone. One would think think COVID theyd be takeout friendly.
Inventive changing menu selections and a huge variety of beer on tap! Dessert is worth it! Love this spot, its a great local hangout!
Bison burger was delicious! My friends also had great meals chicken waldorf salad and the Mexican salad. Dylan was a great server, too!
Appetizers are awesome as are the burgers and Nashville hot sandwich.i recommend the wings with tavern sauce and fried pickles. They were supreme.
Great waiter and delicious food.
The taco salad is pretty poor. Not at all as described on the menu. My husbands burger was good, though, and cooked as ordered. Fairly loud.
Although I miss the filet sub the new menu beef dip was great, no fat, no gristle , tender and as an added bonus it comes with a side cup of actual horse radish (not some mayo mix) if your looking for a meal in Geneseo the Tavern has the best food in town next to the Big Tree Inn, fresh ingredients, real food.
The outside seating was good,food was good, beer selection great lots of microbrews. Service not the greatest the waitress was very inattentive or I would give five stars
Waitress was definitely new, but very polite. We must have hit just the right time, food was remarkably fast, and VERY delicious. Chicken sandwich was cooked expertly!
Great selection of draft beers. Friendly servers. Food looked good.
Bartender was a great time!! Beers were delicious and the wings were excellent. But the bartender (didnt catch his name) was a great addition!
Great food, good music and outdoor seating. . . .what more can you ask for.
We met our grandson and Emily his wife there for all lunch. The atmosphere was nice the food great the waitress was nice. We would go back again..
Great food great staff
Just left without being waited on. Two other couples came after us and were served. At least four waitresses walked by us without saying a word. First and last time for us! Thanks for the quality service.
Best fish fry around, always busy on Friday nite but worth the wait if there is one. Very friendly atmosphere and waittresses, tip them well theyre worth it.
Absolutely wonderful!!!! The service, food and atmosphere is so great!!!! Looking forward to returning!
Stopped after a bike ride for refreshments. Had soup and a burger, soup was Manhattan chowder, both were great.Margaret, our server was did an excellent job also. Will stop again.
So I used to love the tavern & i’d bring my family here every time they visited but i had an awful experience. in march my friends & i went to dinner at the tavern. i called earlier that day & explained i had a semi large party coming through & they said that i should have no problem being seated but they don’t take reservations. when my friends came they gave them a name & we waited. i did not mention that they said we would have no problem being sat because they said that we would be seated in 15-20 mins. after almost 40 minutes of waiting i asked the hostess what was going on & she said she was sorry & that they were putting tables together for us now. more time passed and i asked again & they got someone to speak with me. i explained that i called earlier and that they said i’d have no problem being sat & he said that they don’t take reservations which i understood but they also said we’d only have to wait 15-20 mins as they sat table after table before us. they finally sat us at a table all the way in the back complaining that they had to push a family out so we could sit but honestly i didn’t care because they lied to us about putting a table together earlier. the guy i spoke to before comes up to my table yelling at me saying how when i called i said a different time & that this was all my fault for screwing my friends over & that this was not “their bad”. he even brought the phone over to me. i explained to him how they still made us wait almost an hour & he said that they were not at fault even though they lied about having a table ready. i can’t complain about the food here but the service was absolutely horrendous & maybe it was just a bad night but i would never disrespect a customer like they did especially in front of 7 other paying customers. i will never return.
Visited this restaurant/bar for brunch/lunch while visiting Geneseo. It is a cozy restaurant with good food with a small town feel. Can go for food or just go for a drink and watch the game, while still being family friendly. It does get busy on game day as folks come in to cheer on their favorite team
This restaurant was soo good. The brie burger was so delicious. I would definitely recommend. Everyone was very polite as well
Really good food. Nice beer selection. Go there. You will be happy
Excellent menu. Have never left there not enjoying what I ordered. Can eat inside or on their deck and also the picnic table area, all with umbrellas. Nice atmosphere.
The options for food are good. The food itself is great.
This was a great find. The staff was super friendly and the food really good. Although they dont brew on-site, they had a specialty brew available only there and made for them. It was quite good.
I got have lunch at this establishment and got to experience the outdoor area. The waitres was very friendly and the food that I order was delicious. The only thing is that sitting outside you will experience lot of bees trying to get to you and your food. And for all you pokémon players, it does have a gym there!
I stop here maybe once a month. Chris, the bartender, immediately presents me with samples of different beers he thinks I would like. The food is solid..This place rates 5 stars on service alone
I like it here. It is simple, nice, and has a comfortable atmosphere. Food is always yummy, and they have a fun rotating list of beer/cider.
Saturday evening meal with friends around 6:30PM on a Saturday. I was the only one who ordered the clam chowder. I was not thinking that it was probably left from Friday.I was sick.for 2-3 days and missed all my plans on Sunday. Horribly sick from food poisoning.I will be ok going back, but I may not have chowder anywhere for quite a while.
Limited Bar area partitions between each spot...wide variety of beers and great food dining area small as well call ahead
Great food and selection of beer. Nice atmosphere and wait staff was friendly.
Did a great job with outdoor service and maintaining the social distance and other state mandates.The owner or manager worked very hard to make guests feel safe and still provide excellent service.The good was great as it always is
Nice 👍. Good food. Excellent beer menu!!!!👍you should check it out. Great service!
Wonderful service, waitress was super. Think her name was Katelyn, my bad for nor remembering. Food was delicious .
Service was excellent, as were the drinks from the extensive selection. Fish fry was better than average... I would highly recommend the spot for couples and families.
Visited New Years Eve, 2016. Beer menu was diverse, expansive, and reasonably priced. Impressed.When my friend and I ordered a $10 plate of nachos to go with our beers, though, we were wholly underwhelmed - the chips werent homemade (as they should be for $10), the cheese obviously came shredded in a bag, and, with queso and jalapeños, thats literally all there was: chips, half-melted shredded cheese, some queso, and peppers. Ridiculously overpriced. If we return, we will remember not to order food.
Wow! Excellent service and great Pub atmosphere.Chris at the bar offers up samples of excellent craft beer the minute you walk in the door.Nice bar menu.
Fast seating was the only positive. RE Craft Beers, sorry, just because Millers wasnt on label is no reason for excitement. The pumpkin ale was a porter someone drug a piece of pumpkin through. 3 tbsp of fresh jalapeno peppers in a lite taco salad with questionably aged ground beef that tasted like microwaved was horrid. Moldy tasting rolls and a fish fry that was mediocre at best and certainly not beer battered (been chef, try again) Unseasoned mixed potato vegetables (white mushrooms and green peppers) not even salted. Both of us sick after lunch meal and dining room smelled of urine. I would not even take left over fish home to pet.
Great food and terrific beer selection. Friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable staff. Live music completed a great atmosphere. A local favorite that deserves to be.
Food was awesome. As well as the cocktails. Very nice place I will be back!!👍
Lots of different in-house draft beer to choose from. Great service.
Excellent Food and Great Service

The best food chris the bar tender is great food is always served fast and great erica was my waitress and she was awesome I recommend checking this place out for sure thanks guys keep up the great work
Bartender extraordinaire, Chris Big Deal learns your beer palate and guides u to your ideal beer, in my case IPA. No need to guess among the myriad offerings. His protege, the newly ascendant beer meister Dylan (formerly Chris With Hair) will likewise have the newest beer selection poured before u sit, once u become a regular.-----The Gator
Nice pub atmosphere and good servers. Good food.
I was told to come here for the burgers, and I wasnt disappointed. Flavorful juicy burgers, great fries, and house made blue cheese dressing that I could consume by the vat.
Love this place! Really great service, amazing wings, burgers, and the beer selection is the best in town.
Pretty good pub fare and atmosphere. Service and food were great.
Great food and great service! Would definitely stop by again to grab a bit to eat. Food came fast and was very delicious.
Showed up with my husband at 745 for dinner, was told the wait would be 20minutes. 35 minutes later we get a seat and are told we would be lucky if we got our food by 9pm!
Great food. The creamy chicken rice soup was so good I had to take a bowl to go. Also the tacos are amazing!
We all had fish fries. They were wonderful. I had mine broiled and it was cooked perfect. Not fishy at all.
Great food, great beer selection, and most of all great dessert selection! This is the new spot here in Grown! Love the people the work here.
Nice place. Small town pub with great food and beverages, wide variety of microbreweries. Great for two people or a large group.
Great neighborhood bar. I enjoyed the selection of beers and the wings were pretty good. I can see why they are busy.

Small menu. Good food. The only thing I would change would be umbrellas in the deck & drink menus.
This is always a fun place to visit. Quality food and a robust beer menu, but the staff is what makes this place great!
Table was a little dirty. Service could have been better and more friendly. Food was great!!! Good music.

Great food. Very friendly staff. Reasonable prices too
Great atmosphere and very attentive and polite staff. 1821 burger was fantastic and HUGE!
Great menu and specials. The desserts are out of this world! Wide selection of beers on tap and bottle
Always understaffed, and the servers and bartenders never seem to care. The food is not really worth the price, and definitely not worth the wait. I wont be eating there again.
Katlyn...thats all that needs to be said; well, and that the French fries are WAY better than the competition whom shall remain nameless across the street literally run by a clown...
Its a great bar, awesome amount on tap for a small college town. Great bar food, specials every day. Loaded tater tots are killer.
Staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable with drinks. The food is always good especially the specials. Can get crowded.
Chris is an incredible bartender. Tacos were huge and very tasty. Great burgers and beer selection
Very good food and fantastic beer selection. Stopped in every night I was in town.
It is reasonably priced wait staff is nice and they have hand-cut french fries outstanding
Great food, service and brew. Nice atmosphere.
The meal was amazing. Ralf said it was the best French dip ever. Hand cut fries where the best
Waitress wasnt as polite as she should be. Not much menu choices.
Great beer selection, Chris is the best at bartending. food is pretty decent, too. try the wings with hot asian sauce.
Great place for family to get a bite to eat while visiting students... highly recommend the salt and vinegar wings
Great food. Gotta go twisted tavern for wing sauce, its amazing!
This restaurant is definitely a good addition to the quant town of Geneseo, its definitely not cheap, but if you like high quality food, this is the place
Friendly staff. Nice place for bar food. Great beer selection

2022-04-19Of all the restaurants I visit frequently, the VT is my special baby. Though nearly always full and bustling, the staff find a way to make us feel as if we’re their valued customer. They’re gregarious without being pretentious, and there’s nothing fake about the whole dining experience. Best yet, the food is both intriguing and consistent, an almost impossible combination. They have earned my loyalty a hundred times over.

2022-03-25A pleasant surprise. We found this place when returning from Letchworth, and had an enjoyable late lunch on the patio. Good burgers, and I had a very tasty fajita.

2022-05-02Having myself a Camel burger. Yes I said a Camel burger. Not a Camel toe burger. A camel burger. Cooked to absolute rare perfection.Very similiar to beef in flavor and texture, but a bit different still. It has carmalized onions and smoked gouda cheese. It is seasoned with an Arabian spice profile. Nicely done here. Definitely recommend. Im enjoying a Common Roots Good Fortune IPA along with it. A relatively local brew. Its an all day type of beer. Nicely compliments the burger.

2018-05-06Great pub fare. Lots of beer on tap. Lunch or dinner. I love the sandwiches, especially the pastrami Rueben. Try the fried pickles, onion rings and pretzel sticks. If you’re really hungry, the burgers hit the spot. I just had the detox salad with a citrus vinaigrette—fresh and delicious!

2019-03-24Fantastic food and Drinks. We have been here before and come back when we come down this way. The menu is pretty well rounded with a selection of sandwiches, salads, burgers and finger foods. Any burger can be made a veggy burger or turkey burger as well so there is something for everyone. the service was top notch we had our food out within 15 minutes of ordering and our server was awesome.On top of all that the best part is the beer list all sorts of local and craft options with real variety if you like good beer this is the spot in Geneseo.
