This place has the best breakfast! I love the corn-cakes! great place to go with a hangover, food is cheap and served super fast. The servers are great, not a lot of small talk which I like. They just get your food there in a hurry. The place can get very busy, so be prepared to wait for a table.... more

Went here July 5, 2008. Great Breakfast, known for made by scratch pancakes. Quick service, excellent waitress, would go again, near the University, large seating, good coffee. In and out for a quick breakfast. more

Seriously, this run-down breakfast joint is not worth your time. The food is greasy and poor, and the place is not clean. There are better options for your breakfast dollar. more

Everyone must go here. Can't beat the pancakes and other wonderful, greasy, fattening things. more

the tavern has great, cheap breakfast! great for a hangover! Where else in Cville can you get a "Cackle" burger, Scrapple and any other obscure breakfast delight. Smoking, with traditional waitresses who seem to have been working here since the 1970s. Expect to be called "Hun" and expect long lines on the weekends. more

The morning after a great Cavalier football game, we headed out for breakfast. The kids all wanted I Hop, but my husband & I just wanted a good locally cooked breakfast. We made them go to the Tavern. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but step in & there are smells of wonderful foods & lots of happy... more
