Ed's Tavern - Salmon bowl, brisket and Mac bowl,fajita bowl and the fried chicken bowl - Desserts Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Typical sports bar with TVs everywhere. The servers are friendly and the food is good. The Buffalo Chicken Salad is my favorite dish to get. The bar menu is decent and special requests can be accommodated. The restaurant is quite busy during happy hour and can get loud at times. The semi-outdoor seating area is really nice and less noisy. read more

Servers are usually pretty quick if their not socializeing. Nice openair seating, Upper Manatee. Food portions are skimpy for the cost. Little bigger amount or adjust the price to equal the portions. read more

Good menu good food good service good location. Our go to sports bar when family comes to town.

This review hurts to post. Disclaimer, I did reach out to them before posting and received no reply. For at least the last 5 years, Ed's has been my place to visit on Friday nights to enjoy their happy hour and then dinner. A few months ago, we noticed their happy hour slimming down to 6 limited items. Last Friday, several things were lackluster including the service but the final straw was learning upon receipt of my bill that Hendricks is no longer part of their happy hour and each drink I ordered was $10 instead of $5. The waitress told us it was inflation and could have cared less the food was not up to par. Sad to say, Ed's 64 is now crossed off my list and with the changes, the other Ed's also. Ed's got too big for their clients and I'll be going elsewhere. read more

Basic sports bar w/a ton of TV's & mediocre food. I have the 5 piece wings which were good & my husband had the corn dip which was just OK & the falafel wrap which he said wasn't bad. His side salad was basic. We sat at the bar & bartender was friendly, helpful, & gave us good service. Place is very loud - especially when people are moving their chairs out. I'd rather go to Yardhouse. read more

Terrible attitude from the female bartenders on 2 separate occasions. Notified management both times and no response. Over-charged for 1/2 price apps and when notified, both bartenders, nothing but attitude. I would highly advise to spend your money elsewhere. Unless, you like to spend your hard earned money and get treated like garbage. Your choice. read more

If you've never been to a sports simulator before, do yourself a favor and go to a real one first. Think of this place as the "advanced level" where they hand you a computer and say, "Good luck." A few helpful tips: * Know how the games work before you arrive. Nobody is going to show you how to use the computer, start games, or troubleshoot anything. You're on your own. * Bringing a group? Only four people can actually play at a time, so if your party has five people, congratulations--you've paid for one person to spend the hour perfecting the ancient art of...watching. * If you're taller than a fourth grader, skip the golf simulator. The room is so small that anything more than a ¾ swing turns into an extreme sport involving drywall. * Left-handed? Bring your own clubs. Otherwise your PGA Tour dreams consist of one driver and one iron. Hope you're creative. * Shooting games? The guns have about the same level of commitment as my teenager doing chores. They randomly decide not to work. * Baseball? They have a tee...but apparently a Wiffle ball bat is where they draw the line. Swinging a metal golf club inches from the wall? Totally fine. Plastic bat? Absolutely not. Make it make sense. The best part? We brought every issue to our waitress and management within the first 15 minutes. The manager's solution was basically the customer service equivalent of a shrug and, "That sounds like a you problem," before walking away without fixing a single thing. Ed's, you've got good food, good drinks, and plenty of TVs. Stick to those. Until someone decides the simulator room deserves the same attention as the kitchen, save your money and your frustration. read more

Ed's just off of State Rd 64 has become a go to. The happy hour half price apps make it a great place to grab a bite and a drink. The menu is extensive and the food is solid. We have consistently good service as well. It is a top notch sports bar inside or on the porch! read more

Another local restaurant with lots of TVs, lots of fried food and the same stuff on the menu. Wings, burgers, fries... Don't get me wrong, the place was busy, service was good and the food was fine. If you need a place to go watch 5 games at a time this will meet your need. read more

Ed's Tavern - A pile of hot buffalo 20 Wings - Desserts Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

I came in today on 3/2 at 1pm. I sat at the bar. The bartender had the worst attitude. Threw a menu down and said she'd be right back. She does come back to take my order. Never saw her again until she took my card to pay. Never once asked if I wanted another drink or how my lunch was. My wings were terrible. FROZEN WINGS. The bones were black and brittle. The driest wings I've ever had. Best part of the dish was the carrots. THE CARROTS LOL Yeah, I'll be going elsewhere. read more

The food is always been delicious. It's a wonderful start. They also have like trivia and stuff like that that you would also enjoy.

The entire Staff was kind, welcoming and very attentive. The food was absolutely delicious as were the cocktails. A great sports bar.

New, Casual, Fun, Clean atmosphere!! Plenty of tvs for sports games, if wanted to watch. Screened in patio area as well. Went for happy hour!..Happy for us! Had a glass of Chardonnay! Pretzel bites w/mustard dip, could get cheese dip. Had Spring rolls too! read more

The food was very good. I got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It was not overly hot but had a nice little kick. Cut it with a little ranch and you will be fine, if you don't like hot. They have a large bar area and TV's all over the restaurant. It is an inside outside place all at the same time. The have AC and fans so no matter where you sit, you will be comfortable. Our server was good but not outstanding. Had to ask for a refile on my drink and they seemed to disappear for long gaps of time. The prices and portions are very much on pare with other places like this in the area. read more

Ed's Tavern - Nashville hot chicken sandwich - Desserts Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

EDS Tavern on 64th Street West in Bradenton, FL--sounds like a frustrating visit. To recap your key points: Bait-and-Switch Pricing: Website lists one price, but in-person it's higher, with excuses about "another location." Food Quality: Burgers are dry and overpriced (not worth it compared to spots like Culver's); fries are meh and not calorie-justified. Atmosphere: Loud and cold--feels uncomfortable for eating or drinking. Ratings: Food: 2/5, Cleanliness: 3/5, Wait Staff: 4/5, Overall: 2.5/5. read more

Racism and sexism can be proven by denial of employment application. Read Ford we've been investigating this for months. This location of Ed's Tavern is absolutely the worst as a foodie and a contributor. I've had more than four complaints over this new establishment. The staff is horrible third terrible they're sexist and it's absolutely ridiculous. I was just hung up on by the current manager a waitress who has worked there for a long time, was eating food while delivering food to a customer coming out of the kitchen I would not go there if you paid me again and we have been serving this restaurant since it's inception, and it feels in all respects the staff is terrible and it's disrespectful. read more

Visited on a busy Friday evening after our own country club was too full to let us in... We were seated (party of two) immediately even with the restaurant already crowded. The service was very kind, friendly and very responsive. I had a beer, southwestern egg rolls and the fajita bowl and my sister ordered a wedge salad and the briskets Sliders. Of course we took a ton of food home. It is a loud place but mostly loud because people were having a good time. I was tempted to take one star off because the eggrolls were a bit overdone... But still quite good. Will definitely visit again! read more

Ed's Tavern - Southwestern egg rolls and fajita bowl - Desserts Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Good food and service . Quick and convenient. Very friendly. Wou definitely go there again.

We were able to go within the first 3 weeks of being opened. We were earlier in the dinner hour time but still had a 40 minute wait due to the popularity. We were able to snag a booth and had good service. The food was delicious and served hot. There was a small error in one of the burgers and they immediately made it right. We enjoyed chips and salsa and all had burgers with fries and tots! You definitely have a choice of events to watch on all the TVs. One of the owners was there watching and keeping everything rolling. They were doing a great job! The vibe is definitely hopping and full of noise but you can still talk to your own table. Parking is a hot commodity but it's well worth going there to eat! read more

My girlfriend and I stopped in on Sunday to watch the Chicago Bears football game. Our server, Hannah, was prompt, courteous and extremely pleasant. She was unfazed by the commotion surrounding her and always had a smile on her face. The appetizer she recommended was spot on! read more

Very busy during happy hour Quoted twenty minute wait and was sat in twenty minutes Staff was very knowledgeable of menu and food was excellent It is a loud place but that is the vibe Televisions are read more

Cool spot! We went for our weekly GNO to trivia night on a Wednesday. It was very organized & a good time. Place was bumpin! Gets crowded but not crammed. Does get loud with the trivia. Keep in mind if you're heading out for somewhere to just chill & unwind. The wing specials were good & the flavors tasty. Drinks came quickly, waitress kept up on the refills which is great. I wish they had seltzers! No, high noon is not the same. If they had Truly or even White Claws we'd be back much more often. read more

New business in palmetto. Sports bar atmosphere. Great service. Appetizers were pretty tasty. Food is above average. Little noisy but a fun place read more

I think they need to re-think the strategy of young inexperienced servers. On a slow Saturday afternoon the service was lousy. Attitude of servers when I explained why when the meal comes out before the appetizer it defeats the purpose. Sandwich was thrown together and fries were cold. Have had good experiences in the past but they missed it this time read more

Stopped in with a friend for a late lunch today. Ordered a margarita with Patron tequila and a BLT. I actually sent the drink back cause the salt on the rim was really wet. Weird, I know. The drink itself was not great. It looked like a tiny bit of mix, some water and tequila. And I know the tequila was not Patron. The food was just as bad. The BLT had no mayo, shredded lettuce and over cooked rubbery bacon. Didnt bother touching the fries. The waitress was just ok. This was my second visit and just like the first, it was not a great experience. I gave them a shot - read more

All of the seating is basically outdoors. A couple tables are inside but they keep all the doors and windows open, at least when I saw it. The dessert fries were really good, as were the mac and cheese egg rolls. read more

We always enjoys the sport bar restaurants and Ed's Tavern was no exception. Great prices, comparable to the area and the food was delicious. We had burgers, fries and pretzel bites with beer cheese. Nice atmosphere with indoor and patio seating. Not too crowded at 2pm in the afternoon so we were seated right away. Our server, Jocelyn, did an amazing job ensuring we were taken care of promptly. We will definitely come back to this place to enjoy a great meal. Oh, and the drinks are great as well. read more

I'm sure this place is great for a football game and a beer but the food.... ugh. Horrible. We got an Ed's Smashburger and fries. The burger was overcooked and had an odd flavor and the fries were undercooked. If we weren't in a rush I would have said something. I've been to the location on Main St which was very good. This place was just disappointing. I'll give you 2 stars because the wait staff was pleasant and attentive. read more

Consistent, good food and good service! New location is a tad larger inside - great place for games and meet up's! Love their wings and beer selection. read more

Absolutely horrible food (burger was like eating a car tire) and service . Way too loud to even speak to anyone. Will never come back.

I love their food. Service is great. A bit noisy but a great place to hang out. They will split an order and give you two plates. I appreciate that. Most places won't do that. read more

Every time I go to Ed's Tavern I feel at home. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The food has always been been great. We continue to go to Ed's tavern after moving here in July. read more

Trivia host was an ass. Food was so so. And we couldn't hear the trivia ( we being all people) so he got upset and confronted us. We would welcome his response. He was an asshole and even though we apologized to defuse he confronted us. Cool bar. Don't come here for trivia unless you sit next to him! read more

Hands down with the other Ed's in Lakewood Ranch these are the best sports bars east of the interstate if not both counties. Food is presented well and tastes very fresh. Service was excellent and ambiance of the place was super cool. Will definitely be back read more

The food was decent, but I did not like the statement that they made about food allergies.

The food a service was excellent. A bit noisey, but expected in a bar atmosphere. Will return.

I ordered food and after three complaints from me and 50 minutes since I ordered, I saw the manager and told him to cancel my order. Nobody cares at the bar if you get your food or not. Not a place I would ever go back to eat. read more

When they first opened this location awesome. Now can't get our order right for the life of them (3rd time in the last month) can't get our bill for 17min. (Clocked) etc etc. looks like success has made them stupid which happens often. Training is everything get your people trained!!!! read more

Great food. Great service and reasonable prices. Could use more parking spaces. A bit loud. read more
