White Owl Tavern

We stumbled upon White Owl Tavern in Wharton, and it has raised the bar. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance had a chill vibe, with USB outlets at every table, booth, and bar seat. The scratch kitchen vision was flawless. We had perfectly al dente fettuccine with melt-in-your-mouth braised short ribs, some of the best we have ever had. And the bread pudding? It deserves an award. My wife, usually indifferent to bread pudding, called it her all-time favorite. We met the owner and chef, a gentleman so passionate that my wife had to compliment him on both the food and the service, something she rarely does. He shared how the bread pudding changes seasonally, and weekly specials keep the menu fresh every visit. A perfect ten, and without a doubt, we’ve found our new favorite hidden ge

Holy cow, where do I even begin! My wife and I wanted to try this place for our date night (you absolutely should make a reservation ahead of time) and we were completely blown away! From the food, to the ambiance, to the service, everything was absolutely fantastic. Their specials menu is absolutely spot on. My wife got a delicious pasta dish and I went for a meatloaf sandwich (don’t let the that deceive you) and both were totally fantastic! Our cocktails were absolutely spot on and delicious!!! I would highly recommend you get there a few minutes before your reservation because the parking is limited and you may need to find street parking.

I didn’t even know this place existed until a friend mentioned we should meet here for lunch the other day. The menu is pretty impressive. There’s a lot of options for whatever your taste may be. We decided on margaritas and some apps. Had the meatballs and chicken Alfredo dip. Everything was really good. Parking is a bit limited, so be prepared. Will most definitely come here again.

Came for dinner on a Saturday night for a friend's birthday. We had a reservation for 7:30 for we were seeing a show prior to attend. We wound up being very early due to the show ending earlier than we had thought. The staff was very accommodating and sat us within 5 minutes. Our waitress was very attentive, made sure that we didn't need to wait for anything that we could have wanted. The only unpleasant interaction that we encountered was with one of the bartenders. My friend asked if she could have one of the specialty cocktails without one of the ingredients, and he was a bit rude with his reply. at $15 per cocktail, you should be able to ask for it the way you would like it. Overall, great place to grab a bite and a drink. FYI, parking is a little tight so don't get discouraged for th

First time here, as I love to go and support all local small business. Not sure what this was before a restaurant, but they did a nice job in the renovations. Started out with a classic margarita, very good, not sure I should have ordered another as I was full. Got the French onion soup 🍲, I really liked it only three suggestions. One smaller 🥄 with the soup. If the cheese could be toasted a little bit. And 3rd, the edges of the bread inside the soup were a little too crunchy to break with the spoon. For my main course I ordered the Unforgettable Sandwich with slow braised short rib. I was gonna get the burger as I knew the rib was gonna be a little sloppy to eat. However, with that being said the rib sandwich was extremely good and flavorful. We got two desserts for the table. A brownie
