Yellow Tavern

Great little spot for a basic lunch in a very picturesque town.  Friendly people and prompt efficient service.  The Rueben is excellent though I am used to thicker bread, this is one of the better Rueben sandwiches I have had.  My wife ordered a vegetarian Rueben and the lady at the counter didn't even bat an eye, she just kept writing.  Beer selection doesn't have any "craft" to it but you may have either bottles or cans. :) the onion rings were straight out of a bag and not a good one but edible. My favorite most underrated detail were the pickle spears, crisp, cold and with excellent flavor! If you're going to put it on the plate, it should taste good!  My wife loved that they provided feminine hygiene products in the Women's Room, something she says isn't done enough anymore.  We will return to New Harmony with friends who will love it and its very likely we will return to The Yellow Tavern.

Nothing wrong at all with this old timey tavern, and I was super excited to dive into a brain sandwich.  A local specialty that's been done in southern Indiana for a long time is offered up here along with a bunch of other standard bar food and drink that makes this place a fine spot for lunch or dinner.

But if I had to be a bit critical, my experience with the brain sandwich wasn't as good as it could be, or as it perhaps usually is.  The breading was thick and rich- which is fine, and probably how it ought to be done, but unfortunately the oil wasn't brought to a high enough temperature and the sandwich was very oily, and the breading was soggy.

I'd be willing to bet that this was just an "off" attempt and that they usually cook it well here though.

The grilled chicken salad is good here.  It is a large salad with a variety of fresh, large vegetables.
