Hadn’t been here since my childhood but decided to take advantage of a beautiful day. They have a good view of the lake, our server was great, and the food was good. I ordered the fish basket. The fish had great tasting breading and it came out hot. I’m not a thick fry person but the crispness of them was perfect. I’ll definitely come back, gotta try the brisket poutine that they were out of.

Wow. I’ve lived in Columbia City for over 30 years, and I have NEVER ate here. This place is an absolute hidden gem. I ordered the beef brisket poutine, and my lady got the BBQ pork Mac. The food was fantastic, and I believe it was less than five minutes after we ordered that the food came out. The waitress was attentive, despite the fact that the restaurant was filling up quickly. If you live within a 25-50 mile radius of Columbia City you have go to stop in!

Came here with a pretty big crowd. The food was good, but the fried pickles were closer to fried air with how much they shriveled up! That is the only complaint I have. The staff was nice and attentive. The food was good, fresh, and very filling. 8.5/10 Can recommend.

Server had been there 3 days was great. Very loud and noisy. Food was absolutely HORRIBLE!!! Brought out beef brisket that was boiled strewn meat half raw, couldn’t cut or chew. Brought wife BBQ glazed baby back ribs, covered in mustard, a little BBQ sauce squeezed on top side of dried out ribs. Offered replacement Fish dinner, Never brought it for 35 minutes. Paid for one meal not edible and tipped 9 dollars. DO NOT EAT THERE July 2023. Drove to Columbia city and had dinner.

The Tavern is a great place on Tri-Lakes with great food and a cozy atmosphere. The food is portioned generously and tasted good. The only reason why I’m not giving 4-5 stars is because in the two nights in a row we’ve ate here, our order was messed up. I understand that mistakes happen, but I ate here twice and both times the food that was brought out was not the order that asked for. However, if you’re in the Tri lakes area I still recommend the Tavern tho. It’s a great place and I wished I could leave a 5 star review.

I just got back from my 1st time being at this restaurant in over a year. Let me just say that they have taken the time and gotten their stuff together. I was very unhappy the last time I was there and this experience was wonderful. I had swordfish with asparagus and rice and it was wonderful. The appetizers were equally delicious and the service was outstanding. Thing. I’m glad my wife insisted that we went back because otherwise I would have never gone there again and would have made a rather large mistake. Kudos to the new ownership.

All you can eat fish. Was awesome. The French fries were spiced perfectly as well as the steamed broccoli. Will definitely go back. Prices were fair as well

One out of four of us got the wrong order. Our lone Eater received his food half way through our dinner and ended up taking it to go. No compensation or apology was offered, just a brief oops from the waitress.

Ordered all you can eat fish dinner and it was so dry and the coating was so hard on the outside. It was so cold in there. The fish was extremely dark brown and paper thin. Will NOT go back ! I have went many times in 2022 and it was definitely better and packed inside. I wish Gordon Ramsey would go there he would throw the plate on the floor. The waitress was a A+
