Reviews of Motley School Tavern
"Small selection for breakfast but don’t let that shy you away. Everything had so perfectly made and tasted amazing. The potatoes were perfectly golden and crisp. The atmosphere is beautiful and is a great place for food or a drink. Staff was friendly and helpful. Fresh latte was fantastic too."
"Went in during the week and it was quiet during breakfast hours. The service was attentive and friendly. The presentation is top notch. The flavor of the fried potatoes will keep me coming back for more. An excellent value for your dollar."
"We liked MST - Motley School Tavern so much on Saturday that we went back today, so my review is for both days. CHICKEN WINGS - you had me at gochujjang, and the side salad was awesome! Great combo of wings and salad. I love wings for any meal, and these didn’t disappoint. $15 MST breakfast x 3: it’s the “basic” breakfast. 2 eggs, bacon, sausage patties, potatoes and toast. But it’s so good, and their homemade potatoes are bomb. $10 GREEN SHAKSHUKA: not a huge fan, but I’m glad I tried it. It’s a bowl of tomatillos, stewed, with spices, tahini yogurt and rolled up flatbread to sop it up. When I saw flatbread, I was thinking more pizza type flatbread. Not sure why. Anyhow, I love all tomatoes but this one was just ok. And I’m a runny egg fan but these were VERY runny; I like runny yolks but not runny egg whites. $14 CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN: it’s great, not much else to say but it’s definitely delicious. I like the chicken batter flavor, sausage gravy was good and I reeeeally liked the slaw side. Actually I thought the slaw on the side brought the whole meal together. I would definitely order this again. $15 BISCUITS: I wanted a biscuit since I couldn’t decide between biscuits and gravy, and chicken fried chicken with gravy. I can’t say we were fans and I’m glad I got the chicken fried chicken! The biscuit is very VERY dense and tasted like clarified butter. I love me some butter but this was too much (personal preference). +1 biscuit side is $5, fyi. PANCAKES (aka “CAKES”): they’re allegedly known for their pancakes, and I don’t love pancakes for two reasons. 1) I do not like syrup and 2) it’s too filling. HOWEVER, if they’re known for them then I wanted to try them. $5 for one, but $1.99 when added to a meal. LEMON ALMOND CAKE: oh my wow! Think “lemon meringue” on top of a basic, thick pancake. Topped with almonds. Mmnnnn it was awesome, and I was so happy to not see any syrup. BLUEBERRY: blueberry pie-ish piled on top but sadly it was drenched in syrup. We were not expecting that, since the one Saturday didn’t have any syrup. It was good but the syrup was too much IMO. PECAN PIE: also equally surprised that this came already drenched in syrup. So again, I had a bite to try it but avoided it otherwise. I would totally get the lemon almond one again! We had an amazing two days of breakfasts here. Their basic coffee Pammel Park was explained to us as a locally roasted coffee, and our cups were always topped off. Meals are reasonably priced, minus the one $5 biscuit side. We will definitely be back and frequently! — at Motley School Tavern - MST."
"Excellent brunch. My lemon curd pancake was so good. It was our first time here but definitely not the last. Service was top notch All in all a perfect stop."
"Good vibes. Ordered the MST dip, Peminto cheese and Artichoke dip for snacks. Ravioli and Smash Burger for dinner. Soild cocktails as well. I think this place is a great place to meet for apps and small plates at a great price. Lots of little yummy snacks. Happy hour 4-6. Bogo snacks and half off wines and taps. Definitely a good place to bring friends."
