We love Old School Tavern for the delicious food, neighborhood-feel atmosphere, and excellent service. Highly recommend the lake perch meal; it’s outstanding. Save room for dessert, too, because the donut holes are delish! I’m personally not a meat eater, but those in our party absolutely raved about the burgers. Be sure to also sample some of the appetizers. We enjoyed the pretzels and the grilled brussel sprouts.

Went on Wednesday for burger night after our volleyball team won some games. Great beer selection, yummy burger, got a nice little dessert too. If available the brisket here is spectacular but it’s a rare event.

Menu on website does not match takeout menu. Ordered a chili & a LARGE caesar salad as per their wording. They were out of chili so I was refunded for that. The salad had chicken in the picture online so I thought I was getting chicken. My oversight is my bad on the chicken but the serving of salad I got is barely enough for a small bowl. The lettuce was wilted & they threw two random croutons in there. So I was basically charged $11 for a side salad and a bad one at that. Won’t be patronizing again.

They are racist in there towards black people I went in and the bartender was watching me the whole time with a mean look like he was going to have to turn into an action hero to save everyone from me I even tried small talk with him and he had no interest and I had a woman with me that noticed all this it was so awkward

The food here rocks! On our most recent visit, I got the blackened chicken sandwich and my husband got the boiled perch sandwich. Both were awesome and served with delicious handmade fries. They have a nice patio area and we’ve enjoyed sitting out there in the summer. Today we watched the England vs France match while eating inside. They have plenty of TVs so you can see the game from any seat. Definitely recommend for lunch, dinner, or takeout. The prices are pretty affordable too.

This was a pleasant surprise. It wasn’t completely empty when we walked in. The menu is different from what’s on the website. I came in thinking I would have the fried chicken Monday special. But it wasn’t offered. Both the hub and I went for the prime burger. I had it with Cole slaw he had it with fries. Nothing disappointed. The Cole slaw was made differently than we ever tasted and we guessed all the ingredients except the garlic. The burger was quite tasty – though I couldn’t finish mine, he downed everything. I took mine home with every intention of eating it later but that didn’t happen. Guess we’ll just have to go back. The service was attentive and not overbearing and he seemed to know a lot of folks who came in. Makes it seem like a regular hangout and that’s nice.

This is an unassuming place with a good hearty food menu. We stopped by for a drink. I ended up with Irish coffee and a dessert which was very yummy. I will definitely go back for more than dessert. The place is a pleasant surprise. The food at the other tables smelled good.
