The Burley Inn Tavern

The good. Our dinner was good. My wife liked her crab cake sandwich and my prime rib sandwich was pretty good.

The bad. The beers were small and expensive and they only had one server so service was slow. She was pleasant and doing her best. There was hair metal playing and the air conditioning felt like it was set at 80 degrees. I don't know the management but they missed the boat last night. These are things that could be easily fixed if the owners wanted to do so.

Excellent food and service. We stopped for a light lunch and very much enjoyed it. First we got the crab and corn chowder with jumbo lump crab, which there was tons of it! Really yummy! We got sandwiches too. The turkey Reuben was made with shaved turkey, not the bad lunch meat turkey. It was great. My sister had the grilled buffalo chicken wrap and it was excellent too. The chicken was tender and the buffalo sauce was great she said. The ranch dressing was house made, which is an awesome added touch. The waitress said everything from the fries to the chips to the dressing is made in house. She also nothing is frozen. We will return!

I don't like giving negative reviews but I have now been to this place twice and both times were bad. Service is slow and awkward, food is bland, and establishment is run down. My second visit was during Oktober fest and sadly, nothing on tap and the same bland food. If all you want is a mixed drink at the bar, maybe this could be the place. You would probably be better off down the road grabbing a beer at Burley Oak Brewery though.
