We had reservations for 9 ladies for almost a month ahead.. We were split up by the hostess, 5 at one table and 4 at the other. I really did not understand why because there were enough empty tables to pull two together. I ordered a black bean burger and was told that there had been recall (not sure by whom) and the waitress offered a veggie burger instead. So that was what I ordered (minus the bun) with a side of fries. My veggie burger was kind of bland and mushy. My fries were so thinly cut (and very hard to chew) and over salted. One of my friends told her that she could not eat the fries either because of the salt. The one slice of tomato was a small end piece, which I cut off and throw away at home. The lettuce was limp, and very degraded. When the waitress came back to clear my plate, she noticed I had only eaten my veggie burger. The rest of the meal was untouched. She offered a doggie bag and I declined saying I was very unhappy with my meal and told her that the fries were impossible to eat. Her response was Next time you come in for lunch, tell the waitress no salt on the fries. Well guess what, there will not be next time. She really should have offered fresh unsalted fries. Stay clear!

This is the 5th time we have held a retirees' luncheon for 35 - 40 people at the Hanover Tavern, and the food, service and venue remain consistently great. The staff is super helpful from beginning of the process to the end of the event. Food is prepared well, exactly as described. Venue is unique and comfortable. The overall bang for the buck is very good, and we do shop around! Certainly recommend the Tavern be considered for any type of group event! We'll be back!!

We all ordered the special - $17 fish and sides. The waitress, unkempt and indifferent.The size of the fish was about what would fit on the palm of a woman's hand - and sliced very thinly. Then a huge pile of nearly burnt french fries. Two tablespoons of cole slaw served in a tiny condiment container.I am a local but won't ever return here for another meal. Such a rip-off for $17 and waitress didn't help.

We stopped for a bite in the tavern and then took the tour of both the courthouse and the tavern afterwards. The tour guide (wish I remembered his name) was extremely knowledgeable about both properties. We learned a lot about Patrick Henry!

Two energetic and talented women put on a great show about a period of time in the life of Patsy Cline before her death. The show was amazing with Deborah Wagoner playing the part of Patsy Cline and Terri Moore playing her friend Louise. The Hanover Tavern is an historic landmark housing a local theater company and offers great shows at very reasonable prices for tickets. The only downfall is that the seats are very tight between the rows so if you are tall, you may be a little uncomfortable unless you’re fortunate enough to get front row seats. Otherwise, this was a great show and the audience definitely appreciated the talent demonstrated by these two outstanding performers.
