“ We started with blackened Brussel sprouts as an appetizer and my spouse had a bloody Mary for a drink. The Brussel sprouts had a ton of flavor and were a great start to an amazing meal. The bloody Mary was delicious, it had some thickness to it and was very flavorful, he didn't order a spicy one. For the main course we chose the mashed potatoe and asparagus pizza, I had the whitefish dinner, and my man had the Tavern burger. Everything was so amazing, with so many flavors, we ordered way too much, but we wanted to try so many things. The service was phenomenal by all staff. Many different staff came by to grab empty plates, and asked how things were, they weren't over the top in an aggressive way, just enough, they were also younger servers and very respectful. I feel we don't see enough of that in the restaurant business anymore. We will definitely be back!! ”
“ My husband and I were in Duluth for a quick getaway. One of my nieces worked here, so we decided to give it a try. It turned out great! The food was fresh and delicious. We had the Tavern Steak Bites and Bang-bamg Cauliflower appetizers.....YUMMMM! Both sauces were banging! My husband had the Tavern Burger, and I had the Btown Sugar Crasted Salmon with a side salad. The roasted garlic vinaigrette that came with the salad was very tasty, I was worried it might be too garlicky. My husband totally loved the burger. Perfect balance between the cheese, meat, thick bacon, buns, crispy onion rings and the pub sauce. That pub sauce was so good that he started looking for the recipe online. One thing that surprised my tastebuds was the little pepper on the top of the burger. I had that at the very end of the meal and it just blew my mind! Not even sure how this was cooked but WOW!!! A NEW FAVORITE PLACE. ”
“ Went in during the day had a very nice waitress, she helped with our menu choices. Atmosphere was very quiet but it is college off season. I've been here during the normal times and it gets swamped but it's still been a good time and good food. ”
“ The food is overall great, albeit expensive. Service is generally fantastic. Environment is a well-kept open bar/grill. Good drinks and comfortable seats. Never have had to wait long despite being busy. Cheese Curds are a must. Ample parking outside. Nice patio which is often themed. You can join a pretty liberal rewards program, which I'd suggest doing. ”
“ This place is a MUST stop. We had an amazing experience here for lunch today. They have a pet friendly patio with a lot of seating. On my way out I noticed they have blankets you can borrow for days it randomly gets chilly which I LOVE. We got the honey bbq bone in wings and they were amazing! All the wings were fully covered in sauce and they were perfectly cooked. I got the ahi tuna burger and I will say it was a bland burger with very minimal sauce and a lot of avocado. Don’t get me wrong, I love the avocado. In my opinion, if you’re gonna have a lot of avocado, you also need to have some sauce . I also had a soggy bottom bun but luckily the server checked in right away when I saw it and brought me a new bun right away. I upgraded to the sweet potato fries and they are the second best I have had ! They also have really cool lemonade flavors like blueberry and lavender. The service provided by Hunter was absolutely amazing. He was on top of everything and very kind. We ordered just a burger for my dog and he even went out of his way to make sure that the burgers were not seasoned so my dog would not get sick. ”
“ Went for dinner and it was really good! We had a great waitress, friendly, helpful. We got the loaded tots. the first one was really good, but the middle was still cold. They took them back, gave us fresh ones and took them off the bill. My husband had the chicken tender melt and I had the Cherry Chicken Wrap. Both were delicious! Would definitely go back next time I'm in the area. ”
“ Quality service, we got a table right away on a Saturday night. I got iced tea and it’s the best iced tea I ever had. I also got a bltea sandwich and it was amazing. The food (including fries) was all delicious. Allison (Allie) was my server, and she was great! I will be dining here again. ”
“ Really liked the atmosphere here as soon as we walked in the restaurant. Service was friendly, prompt and overall exceptional. The food was bonkers good for everyone in my family and that's with two picky children. I chose the steak cheesy ciabatta with the tavern slaw and I was blown away. The blackened cream cheese on that sandwich is what really pushed it over the edge from awesome to out of this world. I chose the tavern slaw as my side upgrade which was some of the best I've ever eaten as it had kind of a southwestern flavor profile. They also have an awesome rewards program with great deals like 1 meals for kids. We'll come back again in the future! ”
