JC's Tavern

We were suspicious of 25 reviews and all 5 stars, and all fairly recent. However we were VERY pleasantly surprised. It is a fabulous local bar, with very good food. A step up from the chain restaurants . This location has been a local bar since it was a speak-easy during prohibition according to one of the locals eating there. More recently know as Joe's, we were told It was recently bought by the gentleman who has been the Chef there for 2 years. The menu was very interesting and full of great sounding options. We shared the Brie and. artichoke hot dip, served with toasted good size cubes of very good bread. A change from spinach and artichoke dip you see everywhere, and delicious! We also split as Bison Burger topped with pepper jack cheese, red onion, tomato and lettuce, and a chipotle aioli. Bison burgers can be very dry and ordinary since there is so little fat in the meat. These were perfectly prepared, at medium, juicy, but not so sloppy they dripped everywhere. The flavor was great! We also had sweet potato fries and a side salad that we split. A very well prepared, excellent meal. I wish they were located near me in Portland Maine. I'd be a regular. Our one complaint was there were no local beers on tap. We love to try local IPAs as we travel the country. We were told they are coming soon. We are not related to anyone who works there. Found them on Google maps while visiting family in Maplewood. They are worth a stop.

Came here on a Sunday evening to watch a Lions and Rams game. Super chill bar with great food and service. Had their hot garlic with white wine and pepper flake wings, would recommend that flavor. Definitely will be going back again.

JC’s Tavern and Table never disappoints! We have tried many of the dishes, including appetizers like dumplings, nachos, wings, and entrees like the vodka chicken parm (my personal fav!), lamb burger, caesar salad…they are always delicious and fresh with generous portions. The staff are friendly and consistently provide excellent service. We are looking forward to returning soon!

A place with dive bar prices has no business having a kitchen producing food like this. So good. It’s got the “our town” vibe of the old Joe’s but with a new shine. EDIT: the revamped dining room is open and it’s super nice, plenty of room, plenty of TVs. Check it out!

JC’s Tavern and Table is a gem - dive bar feel with elevated bar food and great portions. The food is out of this world - everything we’ve tried has been amazing. One of the best burgers I’ve had in the area. The bar has great local beers from the area.

First time visit and will definitely be back! Rack of lamb special was super flavorful and served piping hot! Served was very attentive and courteous.

JC’s is a great place to go. Good food, great people, and amazing memories. Carlos is amazing in the kitchen and Colleen has become family to us. We love it here so much!!

JC’s is wonderful all around. From the food to the bartenders, we always have a great time. Every Thursday we can’t wait for the new specials to be posted! We have never had a meal or a drink that wasn’t great! Highly recommend!

The food is phenomenal as is the service. The atmosphere is similar to Cheers. Great place to watch sports and enjoy good food in a friendly atmosphere. Give it a try!

This place is great. Definitely coming back, best dive bar you can go to!

Local bar atmosphere at it's best. It was my first time at JC's Tavern and I'll be going back. It has the Cheers atmosphere where everyone knows your name which is what I've been looking for close to home for 15 years. This area doesn't have this kind of a local bar. Local homey bars seems to be something from the past. From the apps to the entrees, the food was good. The staff was great. Super friendly. Bonus points for having red bull.

Amazing experience at JC Tavern and Table! This place has held stories and memories for many years, and under the new ownership they’ve kept the true, welcoming feeling of Joe’s Place while elevating the entire experience. Now as JC Tavern and Table, you have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious menu that feels like dining in a luxury restaurant. From fresh salads and comforting soups to perfectly cooked ribeye, roasted chicken, and mussels, the kitchen truly has it all — and the bar is just as impressive. The service is excellent, making every visit feel special. Highly recommend stopping by and experiencing it for yourself!
