The Sample Room Tavern

We had a very good dinner and the service was very good, too. There were a few menu items that were not available that we would have liked to try.

Very nice place, in the basement of a historical railroad hotel. In general, loved the place ... the service was kind and attentive, and the "feel" was great. We both had the fried chicken special ... it was good, but not off-the-charts spectacular. It was fried a bit too much, so the breading was very crispy, if not just brown. Good but not great.

Amazing place to eat!! The atmosphere takes you back in time to another era. The restaurant is located in the basement of the Historic Midland Hotel and is an awe inspiring destination for local history. The Sample Room had a nice selection of whiskeys and and other drinks and the food was simply amazing! Fine dinning at its best in a relaxed setting. We chose the special which that night was prime rib loaded bake potatoes and sweet corn. The desserts we chose were a cream brûlée and a tiramisu cake. Simply AMAZING!!!

We were at Wilson Lake and were tired of our camp food so we decided to check out the town of Wilson and get some take out. We picked The Sample Room Tavern and are glad we did! The food was great and employees were friendly. It’s located in a cool, historic building. We will definitely be back in the future!

Decent little restaurant. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and service was good. The food was good though my steak was a little dry. The bread pudding was great and service was quick. Overall my experience was good and if you looking for a place to eat in Wilson I think this is the best your gonna get.
