I’ve been to Tabor Road Tavern twice now. I’ve seen it right off route 10 for years and have always said to myself, I’m going to have to stop there some day.
On our first trip I had the Cowboy steak. I’m sure it had sides but the steak was the star. I was really impressed with the flavor and preparation. On my second trip, for lunch, I had the Venison Chili. It was amazing. I can’t describe the taste in detail. It tasted like chili, tomato, chili powder, onion and other common ingredients. What I will say is that whatever ingredients, ratio of ingredients or quality of ingredients were in this were perfect. I could not stop eating it to take a breath and couldn’t leave a drop uneaten. The venison was not ground but cut in cubes like you’d get in a stew. We also had the Trio of Hummus appetizer and they substituted fresh cut veggies for pita bread since our group is gluten free.
Prices are medium to medium high. I’ve been to more expensive places and been less impressed. I was happy with what I got for my money and will go to this place often.
The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is nice, a beautiful lodge style building, vaulted ceilings, etc.
The only negative about the room there is the acoustics. Typically steak houses have very bad acoustics, very high level of reverb and background noise from all the hard surface reflections. This makes intimate conversations impossible and you may find yourself in a volume war with the next table. For me this isn’t a problem as I go there to eat and the background noise level was not too obnoxious.
