Go here! All the food is home cooked and buffet style . Everything was delicious and the waitresses are dressed like from the americana revolutionary time period. All very polite and good service
Fried Chicken ! There is also broiled chicken and pulled pork . Authentic southern cuisine . Not for the faint hearted, you need to be hungry to really enjoy this place. I would definitely come back.
Really loved my biscuit . I regret not getting seconds on green beans because they were really good. Little pricey but it's all you can eat and a fun experience
The food is fantastic. I like that they've opened the house and created a pub , but I do miss the tour . The gift shops are great, the general store is one of my favorite places to buy gifts .
Visited here back in September of 2013 and I loved the old colonial atmosphere inside. This place serves (in my opinion) best fried chicken anywhere in the US. They also have good desserts .
Come for the history & the opportunity to eat like they would in the 1800s, stay for the fried chicken , biscuits , mashed potatoes & apple cider . It's all delicuous!
A cheerful place to get lunch and shop a little if you're visiting Monticello or doing a vineyard tour . Definitely for tourists ; don't expect more than solid country cooking . Good for families .
The food is amazing and it is a fun adventure dining in tavern as it was in the 1700s. A great stop on the way to or from Monticello !
The classic lunch spot at Monticello ! It has a great lunch old fashion style! You'll feel you're dining in the 1700s.
Enjoy a colonial feast, complete with fried chicken , pulled pork bbq , potatoes , coleslaw , beans, and cornbread ! Also, the pewter plates & glasses are a nice touch.
An $18 southern style buffet . It is good, but so is Golden Corral by that standard for a lot less money. The tour and shops are nice and worth a visit.
Good buffet but not for the faint of heart... very rich meal with excellent fried chicken and interesting stewed tomatoes .
It’s fabulous because of its history but I thought the buffet was overpriced for fried chicken and sides. I enjoyed the general store more.
Try and arrive about 11:30am when they start serving, or just before. It tends to get crowded , especially if the buses start showing up! Menu is good, but not for those on a diet.
The food is good. They come around to you yo see if you want more. Sometimes to much. But i liked it.
Discover revolutionary-era Virginia with costumed guides and servers at the historic Michie Tavern built in 1784 and later enjoy a meal of traditional 18th century-style fare.
William Michie built this home in 1772 & by the late 1770s had many travelers asking for room & board. In 1784 he received a license to charge for food & beds after building a tavern.
History geeks rejoice! Great Virginia food with friendly staff , and the tavern tour is a must!
These bonnets and pantaloons don't leave much to the imagination (i can see ankles) .......I thought this was a good Christian establishment
Delicious food, nice people and beautiful place...!!! The waiters and waitresses are dressed as XVIII century...!!!
Very tasty lunch buffet , gr8 service!
Fried chicken is great
Can't say enough about the fried chicken , stewed tomatoes , porter
The fried chicken and peach cobbler were the best my fiance and I have ever had. Amazing.
Great food and even better service by the staff !
I never liked stewed tomatoes unit I tried them here. They are wonderful.
Great food and customer service
Sit on the covered porch for great views .
The green beans have a great kick, and the slaw is phenomenal.
Best fried chicken ever!
The stewed tomatoes taste like the best tomato soup you've ever eaten.
Best of C-Ville '13 Runner-up: Best fried chicken
Forget everything else, load up on the fried chicken !
Fried Chicken is best in Virginia
S/O to Carol! Awesome Service
Come hungry!!!
Tours and shopping are also available on site.
Even if the line is super long outside it moves really fast!
Good southern buffet , but not sure it was worth $40. Although, I'd return with out of town visitors.
The peach cobbler a la mode is freakin' awesome!
Delicious Southern buffet !! I love the cornbread !!!
Great place to shop for Christmas !
If you're not actually at Michie Tavern, you shouldn't check in there.
Try the fried chicken...delicious.
$62 for a family of four, mediocre food. should've eaten somewhere else.
Halibut is fantastic. Going for the hot peach cobbler dessert. - Bonnie Hamilton
