I've read many reviews from customers of this restaurant that raved about the Fish and Chips so I had to try. I'm glad I did, the fish is crispy and flavorful. I must admit the batter and fish was seasoned very well. The customer service was phenomenal, I was greeted at the door and again when I walked up to the bar. I will definitely be back.

Great food and good service. We had a 5:30 reservation at the restaurant and were done with plenty of time for a show across the street. I was skeptical of trying the brisket but was very glad that I did.

I actually really enjoyed Randolph Tavern and was surprised by the low yelp score. It is a very large bar / restaurant close the theater district making it a great option for a casual / lower cost bite before a show. I enjoyed their cocktails which seemed will crafted. The menu is very much bar / tavern style food (not surprising given the name). The portions are HUGE and I easily shared a single buffalo wrap across two people. The service was great here! I came with a large group (10+ people), and we never needed to flag a waiter to be served and the food came in a timely fashion. I highly recommend this spot if your looking for a more casual option downtown. It seemed like it would be good for happy hours, pre-show meals, and just drinks and bites with friends.

Nice quit place to have dinner before a show! Food was good and the drinks very perfect mixed.

I'm surprised to see only 3 star love for this venue... tonight was packed. Service was on point considering how packed the tavern is. I stoped by for a quick bite since I had work emails galore to tend to. Friends, go for the shrimp tacos! It is delish!

The best place to stop before a show. Service is quick and friendly and the shrimp tacos are my favorite thing in the world. Can get a little loud but that's to be expected for a bar restaurant.

I was so happy to see lunch business picking up at Randolph Tavern. I have tried a number of things on the menu and haven't found an item I don't like. The shrimp tacos, mahi mahi tacos, salads and various bbq offerings are very good. Today I tried the mahi mahi special with lots of vegetables. I was going to ask our server if the chef would turn the nachos into totchos, since they do have tater tots, but I went the healthier route and enjoyed it very much. I also sampled a cup of the chicken gumbo. It was a very generous cup and it was extremely delicious. I look forward to having that again. It was a filling, stick to your ribs kind of dish. I could easily make a meal out of that. It would be a great place for happy hour and even suggested it to my office manager.
