Tavern On South

Charline Avey

Our Board needed a place to have a meeting and this was a great place. The front area is under glass and the tables were spread out nicely. They had a bourbon special discount so I was able to try a couple I hadn't had. The menu has item for everyone. their brussels sprouts appetizer was fabulous. I had the beef tip burrito which was very tasty. I've had the mac & cheese before and it is great also. I'll be back. Our group is having our year-end banquet upstairs later this fall. Check it out if you need a party space.

Good service Clean, fast & friendly The fish & chips we're really good. I especially like the fresh french fries. The bartender made a custom lemonade for me which was delicious. I will definitely go back & recommend this place #downtownindy

Visited 4/23/22 The name “tavern” is misleading but also has similarities of a tavern. They try to portray a higher class of food than “bar food” but lack the follow thru of a higher end restaurant making “tavern” apply. The place wasn’t very busy. Yet we was there over an hour. The macaroni and cheese was delicious! The pretzel was soft but had loads of salt. We always forget to ask for pretzels without salt. The cheese was warm and went well with the pretzel. I ordered the fish n chips, I asked for the fish to be grilled rather than deep fried. The “chef” said no problem. When it came out it was satisfying to the eyes. It was when I started eating the fish when I realized I made a huge mistake. The overwhelming amount of salt ruined the flavor. It was perfectly cooked too! The slaw wasn’t overbearing with liquid, it was good. Same with the fries, soft, seasoned well. Don’t let the above skew your decision of ordering the Fish and chips without breading. You might mention to use no salt or less salt. Some chefs like to over season food… the one cooking tonight did! Wrapping up our evening we debated on dessert but the waitress didn’t upsell or ask if we wanted dessert. The desserts wasn’t on the menu but they had about 6 different ones. Carrot cake, tiramisu, cheesecake, chocolate mousse cake, to name a few. The place needs a bit of cleaning around the plants. Lots of dust. The areas the servers worked (pictured) was cluttered, drinks set next to chemicals, and just messy. They need more area to work. The closet next to the station is also disarrayed and disorganized. Overall for the location and the food, it was good. I was going with a 3 star but the wife said 4. We’d visit again.

I've been to Tavern On South a handful of times over the years, and it is usually just an okay experience. The food is uninspiring, but edible. They have a nice bar area and good beer selection. The parking situation is a mess. The lot right next to the restaurant is small and fills up quickly. The lots in the area by the hotel are being constantly watched and will tow your car. One time for lunch I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. Before I took a bite I cut my sandwich in half and it was raw in the middle! I had to send it back to the kitchen and they provided a properly cooked sandwich. I understand that this may have been a fluke, but I've given Tavern On South a fair shake on several occasions and I have decided that there are many better places to eat or have a beer in Indy.
