A landmark experience. A dining and drinking destination. A historic tradition. Since its inception, the Kaufman House has been a gathering place for travelers, neighbors and friends. Today, Kaufman Tavern continues and updates the tradition, providing a warm welcome, restorative libations and a fun, comfortable, exquisite dining experience. The food is the real star here: a top-notch, scratch-made, local, eco-friendly and--most importantly--delicious dining experience. Our menu reflects the best of the US and the bounty of our region. Cajun and creole. Northern and Southern. The East and West coasts and beyond. This is hand made, lovingly crafted, just plain good food. Kaufman Tavern is new American cuisine at its finest.

    Served an almost raw hamburger after an excessive wait. Different server appeared with the re-cook and said it would be taken off the check (it wasn't, had to ask). Also had to ask for water refill. Someone at our table asked for S&P (twice) and the shakers were set down on the opposite side of the table (intentionally?) Checks were returned to opposite cardholders. So sad that such a lovely place has so many execution problems.

    We really enjoy coming to the Kauffman Tavern, because we love the atmosphere both in the restaurant and in Zelienople at Chrustmas. The food is very good, albeit a bit expensive. The service is always great. The Winter Sangria was delicious!

    Only problem was the cheese filled fritters . I wasn’t sure what it was as when I bit into it it was an empty fried shell. I asked the waitress and she laughed saying it was supposed to be cheese filled. She did not offer a replacement. It’s a little thing, but a quality issue that should have been acknowledged in some way. The rest of the meals were great and plentiful.

    Everything great, but small table for me. No room I eat a lot and had no room to eat.

    The crab cakes were outstanding and service was on point. Relaxing dinner and excellent food. The half Caesar salad at $5 is a steal!

    Our meal was great! There were a couple of items "not available" because a large Holiday party was taking place, but the server did a great job of guiding us to other options. The dessert, a Maple Pecan Blondie, was the absolute highlight of the dinner - make sure you save room!
