My family and I arrived here Sunday about an hour before closing and were welcomed in as soon as we opened the door. Upon entering it's like we took a step back in time. The vibe was definitely a soda shop/milkshake fountain atmosphere. I love supporting local businesses in and around my area and this place did not disappoint. We were a group of 5 and we had burgers, fries or the deluxe salad. Let me just say this, if you have never had their fries you MUST get an order of them. The fries have a unique crispy coating to them and are addictive to say the least. As soon as my fiance fed me a fry I instantly regretted my salad order lol. The salads were good and I like the fact they use shredded lettuce. The food was great but the service was even better. The prices were reasonable. A family of 5 ate for $60 including the 15% gratuity so not too bad. The dessert menu is located at the milkshake counter near the guest book for all visitors to sign. I definitely will be back.

I cannot say enough about this place. I remember my Grandfather bringing us here in the 60s and 70s. We ate there 2 days in a row for breakfast and it was fantastic. Eggs were perfect, bacon was crispy and tge sauce was fantastic with no after indigestion, Grits were really good and the biscuits and gravy was pretty good too. I would recommend this for sure and it would be a destination for travelers to try when visiting tge Smokey Mountains. With 25,000,000 views I hope a few stop in and tell them I sent you.

We went up to Wartburg this afternoon shopping for memorial day flowers and decided to have lunch at Tanner's Historic Cafe. They have sandwiches, hamburgers and cheeseburgers. I had the cheeseburger and onion rings. They were both awesome. I swiped a fry and they are great as well. Either is a good choice. They also had a special with mashed potatoes and hamburger steak. It looked really good. The atmosphere was very nice. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

If you're passing through or visiting Wartburg you really got to stop here. We didn't have a lot of time and got our breakfast to go (which was nice of them to do). It's a great location with lots of antiques and old country store atmosphere.At checkout the red velvet cake looked good so we got a slice. It took a little while to get someone to get it cut for us but it allowed us longer to look around and admire the building.Good food, good service, great place to stop by.

I have eaten here many times on camping trips and it is consistently great service and food. Its a cute little restaurant with lots of history. Highly recommend stopping in for some comfort food at a killer price.Vegetarian options: They have a good vegetarian burger and many vegetarian sides

The food and service are excellent! Great potato soup, chicken salad on croissant, and one of the best bacon double cheeseburger’s I’ve ever had. Great atmosphere in historic building.

I'm so happy to have a place for a restaurant, sit down and be served breakfast in Wartburg. The place is historic and was donated by the Tanner's in exchange for the nonprofit to keep the name and to preserve the history. It's quaint! The weekend breakfast is nice early on Sat and layer on Sun. I haven't tried the Thursday and Friday lunch but am looking forward to it. There is a special on Thursday. I saw bourbon meatloaf that I was sorry missed. For a nice drop in get Mayfield ice cream! The people are so nice there. We got invited to a lecture a few doors down the Sun we went. Posting weekend menu.

There is a fast-food burger, a restaurant burger and a “drug store” burger. Tanners serves the latter inside a truly historic setting. I’ll be back.

Very cute but confusing set up, when you walk in its not clear whether to seat your self or wait to be seated so we just picked a table. A server never came to us so we went to the counter and was asked for a ticket. When we said we were waiting for a server one came over but didn't bring menus. Over the course of our meal we literally had 4 different servers, 1 took our drink, another brought them (missing 2 of the 5), the 1st came to take our order and skipped a member of the party twice. When our food was ready 3 different servers brought the food but were missing an appetizer and was very confused when we asked about it. When we were done we went to the register and was checked out by one of the 4 servers we had so we have no idea who our tip went to. The food was very good and well priced but we had a very weird experience.

Fun to step back in time. Menu is pretty simple at the moment but I hear it will be expanded soon. The effort given by the volunteers of the Morgan County Tourism organization is worth rewarding with your visit.
