Continental Tavern operates in a historic building that serves as a stop on Underground Railroad tours, with the owner personally participating in educational programming. One reviewer specifically mentioned meeting the owner during a tour that included the tavern as a designated stop, noting his attentiveness to both historical preservation and guest experience.

Multiple reviewers specifically identify the burgers as consistently strong performers, with one guest noting "this place always has good burgers" and emphasizing they "don't disappoint." The onion rings earned an enthusiastic recommendation from one diner who called them "awesome," making them a reliable appetizer choice. The chicken salad received a perfect 10/10 rating from one reviewer who praised both drinks and food quality. Photo evidence reveals substantial portions: wings arrive with celery sticks and dipping sauce, cheesesteaks come loaded with sautéed onions and mushrooms alongside golden fries, and chicken sandwiches feature bacon, lettuce, and tomato on white buns. One reviewer specifically recommends the cappuccino ice cream as "delicious," providing a notable dessert option. With pricing in the moderate $15-30 per person range, portions appear generous based on photographic evidence showing full plates and baskets.
The dining room features wooden tables and chairs with TVs mounted on upper walls and a fireplace area, creating what guests consistently describe as authentic tavern ambiance. The lighting appears dim and traditional, contributing to the historic pub atmosphere that multiple reviewers specifically praised. The covered outdoor patio with white railings offers an alternative setting during favorable weather, with the three-story building's American flag display visible from the street. Service quality stands out prominently, with bartender Saige earning praise as "the best of the best" and "so attentive" from one guest, while server Frank received enthusiastic recognition from three separate reviewers calling him "incredibly wonderful" and "the goat." Staff attentiveness appears consistently strong across multiple accounts. For a first visit, request seating on the covered patio during pleasant weather and order the burger with onion rings, asking for Saige at the bar or Frank as your server to experience the hospitality that regulars specifically return for.
