Passing through town and ate here due to great reviews. They def live up to the hype! I ordered the deviled eggs and salmon and all were so good! I think that was the best lemon dill butter I’ve ever had and wish I’d gotten some to go! I hope to find a reason to visit again soon. Thank you Courthouse Tavern!

Hands down best place for eating out I’ve visited so far in Albemarle! Great quality food, amazing ambience and spectacular hosts. The owner is very welcoming and personally takes interest in making sure you’re catered to. Got confused cos now the name has been changed (most likely with change of ownership). Certainly coming back!

My family and I can’t say enough good things about this place. Between the food, drinks and service we were over all fully impressed with everything. We will definitely be coming back.

It's actually called the courthouse now. It's a great, clean place to eat.I've never had deep-fried Brussel sprouts, so I gave them a try and dug em. Loved the fried green tomatoes, hard to find a place that does them properly around here. Also, I had an oyster shooter, and those are hard to find anywhere! It's not as good as I've had in mexico, but if you've never tried it... you should. It's a shot of vodka with hot sauce and spices with a raw oyster in it. Both of our sandwiches were great, and so were the truffle fries :)Will defo be going back as there are so many good-looking/sounding items on the menu.

What a beautiful spot. A really nice laid back atmosphere, clean and pleasant. The service was over the top good. Great recommendations made and lots of smiles. Food menu was limited but enough choices to satisfy everyone. Recommend!

Menu slightly offbeat/upbeat. Grilled chicken with pimento cheese double burger with grilled onions. Calamari as a special. Shout out to service and atmosphere. Cold water service in carafes.

Food was delicious and our table host Chris was absolutely wonderful and attentive. We ordered the bruschetta for our appetizers, Brussels Sprout Caesar salad for a little snack and for entrees We had 12oz Ribeye and Bourbon pecan chicken. We had an amazing time we will back soon.

Went here a couple of weeks ago while on vacation.My fish entree was horribly salty and overcooked to the point that it was sticking to my teeth. The sides were lukewarm and bland, no seasoning at all. The plating itself resembled a cafeteria, as I could see where the food had been plopped down, and the fish had been slid across the plate.It seems that the kitchen lacks any sort of time management and quality control. Unfortunate because I had heard high praise for this restaurant. This is not the kind of place that would survive in a larger city.The waiter was friendly and helpful, as was the hostess. They were the highpoints of our visit.

The chef is gifted, it's best restaurant I've experienced in this area. I would recommend checking it out! Great burger, great steak, great chicken!

The food is always great and they always have new dishes. They're Shrimp Bisque is really good as well as their cold plate. Sometimes the service can have a bit of a wait but they have a small staff that is always friendly. Would recommend to anyone.

2:00 PM turned away on a Thursday. Website advertised lunch served until 3:00. Came from out of town but eaten there before. Has good food but poor service and negative staff. ✳️

A great place to eat. My son and I were in town for one night and decided to have dinner there. The atmosphere, service and location was perfect for us. I would definitely recommend!!
