Timberwood Tap House - Charlottesville

The service was exceptional, the food was delicious, and the beer was served ice cold. Our waiter Jake was fantastic—definitely ask for him! Check out the photo below.

Upon arrival, we approached the host to be seated, but there was some confusion when she directed us to another host. We followed her, only to find that we weren't actually seated anywhere. Baffled, we returned to the original host to clarify the situation, and after some back-and-forth, we finally got a table. We started with the crab dip as an appetizer, which was quite good, and our waitress was attentive and pleasant, which added to the positive side of the experience. However, the rest of our meal fell short. We ordered burgers and fries, but they were underwhelming—more akin to fast food from a place like Sonic. This was disappointing, especially given the restaurant's atmosphere and pricing; I expected better quality from the burgers. The cleanliness of the bathrooms was another major issue. They were in desperate need of cleaning; it was quite unpleasant. In summary, while our waitress was commendable and the crab dip was enjoyable, the burgers did not meet expectations, and the restrooms were unacceptable. Additionally, the hosts seemed inattentive, creating a lackluster atmosphere. Based on this experience, I probably won't be returning anytime soon.

I had an incredible experience dining here for the first time! I'm already looking forward to my next visit. They offer a fantastic variety of non-alcoholic beers that are hard to find in most places nowadays, and the Chicken Carbonara was outstanding.

The menu is pretty traditional, but all the meals are consistent. I like this place for the bar space. Easy to get drinks and snacks and all the staff are extremely helpful.

I was in a party of three, our waiter was very friendly and attentive. The food was very good and came out correct and in a timely fashion. I highly recommend the Al Capone burger with the Timberwood french fries.
