Queen City Tavern — Restaurant in Olyphant

I went to Queen city Tavern for the first time yesterday thinking it was o town not knowing it was under new management, however, the general manager approached us and stat us was very polite very friendly. My whiskey sour was great however, the food is definitely no comparison to an o town used to have the burgers you could tell. It was a frozen patty and it was no bigger than a McDonald’s quarter pounder.. their fresh cut fries are not fresh cut fries. You could tell they’re frozen from a bag and their kids grilled cheese was basically melted cheese on lightly toasted bread. The only thing that I thought was decent was the four mozzarella medallions that you could tell they bread and friy there but for $12 for four silver dollar size medallions not really a good deal. I was disappointed on the $20 apple pie burger that was a size of a McDonald’s burger it had a good taste but you would expect a fresh ground burger and something similar to a bud size burger which are now all bigger than a Big Mac. And someone else at the table had the mac & cheese thinking it was going to be somewhat comparable to o towns, but it was a small portion. Use the same noodles, different cheese sauce, and a similar wing sauce. It’s a good place. If you wanna go have a few drinks and then order cause then you really won’t be bothered, but if you go there sober to order food, you will be disappointed nothing like o town. The general manager told me the queen has risen. I think she died and maybe went to heaven because The food there was definitely not worth...

Going here makes me really miss O-town. This place is dreadful. I went with my 4 friends last night, and 4 out of 5 of us ordered dishes and it just tasted dry, lifeless, and like the chef did not put any care in our food at all. That was not the biggest problem of my night though, it was the waitress that served us at the bar. She was older and had blonde hair. Apparently, she had a problem with us talking at the bar and with us having a good time, because I noticed she would roll her eyes everytime we opened our mouth or ask for another drink. At one point in the night she just told us to stop talking because we were laughing about something. Also, my one friend wanted a water, and she whined about that. Just as our checks were about to be handed back to us, I was in the bathroom, and when I came back, she literally rushed me and said, “Hurry up and sign your check already.” She was such a mood killer. So I left her with a 10% tip. I would have tipped her less, because after we were about to walk out of the door, she started complaining to herself that she wants to quit because she hates her job. I do not recommend this place to anyone. All the restaurant has to compensate for is having a second floor, big whoop. I can get better food and service from a happy meal at McDonalds compared to this...

recently had the pleasure of trying the freshly made fried mozzarella squares from Queen City Tavern, and I must say, they were a delightful experience. The mozzarella squares are in-house breaded to perfection, providing a crispy exterior that contrasts beautifully with the gooey, melty cheese inside. They come served with a generous portion of marinara sauce, which is enhanced with a touch of basil, adding a subtle yet delightful aromatic note to the dish. The sauce itself is top-notch; it's rich, tangy, and perfectly complements the fried mozzarella.

The presentation is simple yet elegant, with the golden-brown squares generously dusted with grated cheese, sitting atop a pool of vibrant red marinara. This dish not only satisfies your craving for something fried and cheesy but does so with an artisanal touch that elevates it beyond typical bar fare.

Overall, the fried mozzarella squares at Queen City Tavern are a must-try for anyone looking for a comforting appetizer with a homemade feel. Highly recommended for both taste and...
