    Food was incredible, the biscuits are a must have ! We also got the wings, brisket Mac and cheese, green salad, and the beignets. Everything was excellent. I highly recommend the heatwave for a drink if you like a little spice , very good.

    Fantastic experience with the Crown Tavern. Service was fast and efficient. I had their schnitzel which was hot, fresh and delicious and one of the best schnitzels I've ever had... and I lived in Europe for several years. We also got the fig and prosciutto pizza. It was excellent as well. We like one-page menus because restaurants tend to do limited menus better than larger menus and this was no exception. It's half a block to a parking garage and across the street from the Palace Theater so it's also in a great location. Highly recommend!
