A signature item that has quickly become a crowd favorite is the Texas Cheesesteak. This Texas take on a national classic showcases succulent sliced ribeye, sautéed bell peppers, onions, gooey provolone cheese, all brought together with a zingy spicy queso. It’s so good that even Brandon himself declares it his favorite on the menu.

Now, brace yourself for a surprise – the bologna sandwich. Before you scoff, just know that this ain’t your ordinary childhood sandwich. The Bartonville Tavern elevates it to new heights with a thick-cut, fried bologna, served on a toasted sourdough bun and adorned with provolone cheese and grain pub mustard. It’s a delightful blend of humor, flavor, and uniqueness.

But the goodness doesn’t stop there. The Bartonville Tavern boasts an impressive bar where mixologists whip up signature cocktails that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
