Best restaurant ever. We've been going there ever since they opened their doors. GM, Tricia is awesome. Santana , server-bartender is the best. Cassandra, manager is the best, Ecco the kitchen manger definitely knows what she's doing. Food quality has gotten better since she's been in the kitchen Ali, server is so sweet. read more

Service was good, and food overall was okay -- I had a reuben with a side of coleslaw, it checked all the boxes for a decent meal. However, as others have noted, there are flies all around, expect unwelcome dining guests. My table also had a sticky mystery substance covering some parts, really disconcerting. I'd love to give this place a higher rating, but they need to take their physical space more seriously before I can say I'd come back. Plus, for $30 all in for a reuben and one beer, I expected better. read more

The brunch service is struggling and the food is very greasy. The price for the quality of food is outrageous.

food was substandard - what pasted for omelet was over cooked, food selection was not what it used to be. The caramel roll was dried out and had a cold lump of butter on top. MUCH BETTER VALUE RETAURANTS THAN THIS - AVOID THE OVERPRICED TAVERN read more

Great service that was super fast. My kids love the dirty sodas. The also had a wine tasting event that was super fun!

Vernon THE BEST SERVER there frl highly reccomend has the best service and is super fun to talk to

Slow service and terrible food. The meat tasted like it had been frozen for awhile and then just reheated. Never going there again.

Got a 50 dollar steak for half of it to come out fat and inconsistently cooked should've just left when they brought it out

Food is okay, but really surprised to see a 3% surcharge added to our total ticket when I saw our receipt. No where were to notified of this charge. Also their default tip amount was 20%, not15 or 18 like all other restaurants. This is not a five star restaurant, but rather a 1 star bar and Grill. Food and drinks are way overpriced. A salad was $20, a side salad was $7, bloody mary was 9.50, iced tea 3.75, cup of soup $5 (lukewarm). We won't be going back.​ read more

The food is very underwhelming based on the quality and cost. Just nothing special. Our server was very new to the job and it showed.

We came here for my sister's birthday and we were quoted an hour and a half wait. We got lucky because we only waited for 20 minutes since the people ahead of us were no shows and the manager decided to seat those waiting in the lobby. Overall the ambience is great as it is updated and clean look to the restaurant. We started out with the Santa Maria bruschetta and it was delicious! It did get very filling with the cheese on there. Their portions of their entrees were big and definitely fills you up! I got the fish taco and I was not disappointed! It was very warm and fresh when it was served to me. I got to try the mash potatoes from my sister's plate and that was amazing! Highly recommend coming back here and checking out their brunch menu in the future! Tip: you can check in and get yourself on their waitlist on their website prior to going especially on weekends. read more

The good- the waiter did a nice job and the food arrived quickly. the decor is very nice and the bathrooms were clean! The not so good: Asked for sauces on the side but that was not done. We ordered a couple of appetizers and they were ok but small portions and expensive even with the happy hour $4 off special. we received the bill and were told we had a surcharge for using a credit card. I would recommend Applebees, Space Aliens or Old 10 for appetizers! read more

They weren't especially busy and about half the tables were empty, but we still waited 20 minutes to be seated. I suspect, like everyone else, they're having a hard time finding workers. Typical pub food, which is fine, but we waited a long time for it, and when it finally arrived the food was cold. Not lukewarm. Cold. Ambiance was okay... a little bit loud, even though they didn't have loud music, because there are no sound absorbing surfaces. Don't get me wrong, it's good (except for the cold food)... it just wasn't great. read more

Service was great! Food was delicious I tried their new Italian carne pizza and it was awesome!

Brunch used to be wonderful. Made-to-order omelettes and wonderful caramel rolls ( there are rolls, but they don't compare to what they used to have) are no longer included and they increased the price. Buffet items cold and unappetizing. Definitely not worth the $26. read more

I will give 2 stars for the bang bang shrimp tasting great, nice atmosphere, cleanliness and our waitress being friendly but that is where it stops. Our lunch took 45 minutes after our appetizer was delivered to come out. My husbands French dip barely had one slice of cheese and no flavor. I ordered Brussel sprouts and waffle fries, both came out lukewarm and the fries had zero crisp from sitting so long. Plus the ranch watery. read more

Service on a Saturday afternoon was slow, but our waitress either forgot about us and/or didn't care (older blonde with short hair). She had a less than desirable demeanor for working in the service industry. Food was not hot, no refills, etc. For the upscale dining prices, service should be priority. Disappointed, and won't be back. The only thing this restaurant has going on is the unique ambience. read more

We went on Saturday evening. I was surprised there was no wait. The restaurant was empty. We had a party of six and were told we needed to squeeze into a booth for four. When I asked about other, larger tables, we were told they couldn't seat those tables even though they were right next to us. Then we found out why. They started to take the tables and chairs away, stacking them up by a wall. We were told they were getting ready for Sunday brunch...while the restaurant was opened? With people trying to eat? Right next to us? The team breaking down were very "relaxed" not professional. They were yelling and joking. The tables and chairs scraped the floor, the stacking was loud. I felt like the restaurant was closed and we were there after hours. I even checked hours on line. It said it was opened until 10, we went to the restaurant around 7:30ish. My suggestion would be to have the manager or owner try to eat with a larger party at this time and see what it is like. I'm not surprised it was empty. I won't go back. I also didn't think the food was worth the price. But that was hard to judge with the atmosphere. I might have liked the food more if I wasn't so squished. read more

After being told the wait would be 15-20 minutes and watching many people leave in frustration, we should have taken the hint. However, we decided to wait it out and try to be understanding, service is slow, we get it .... 35 minutes later, they sent us a text our table was ready, hurray! We went to the counter, and stood behind a lady who was arguing over her bill with the Host & manager ... as we stood there waiting, the other hostess was speaking to another party to seat them. After the lady arguing over her bill finally left, the host turned his attention to us, we said we got a text our table was ready - he asked for our name and then said, I don't have you on our list - my wife said we just received the text and he said "I'm sorry, we don't have a table, it will be 35-45 minutes" - my wife said "but we just got this text" and as she was showing the host the phone, the manger turned and yelled at my wife "these are teenagers there is no reason to confront them" - my wife said but "we just received this text", and the manager cut her off, and continued to verbally chew us for speaking to the host, like we were bothering them .... until she finally turned to the host and said "just seat them" .... We were dumbfounded - it would be one thing if we had spoken to her or said anything out of line to the host, but we were both so shocked, we hadnt even say a word ..... my wife turned and looked at me and said, we don't need this .... I agree .... I looked at the lady and said you should be embarrassed and we left - I realize she may be having a bad day, or was upset by having to argue with the previous lady over her bill, or dealing with "teenagers" as she called them - but we were just happy to be out for the night and really didn't care - we had no other plans and were not in any rush ... we just wanted to enjoy dinner ..... but for her to turn on us like that for waiting patently - unacceptable - I will NEVER go there again - and I can assure you, I will let everyone know the service we received ... absolutly terrible Times like this, owners should really think about who they are putting at the counter representing there business .... read more

Beautiful space, solid service, and great food. Had the bang bang shrimp appetizer and a Juicy Lucy. Both were great. Highly recommend.

The server was great and very attentive. I honestly have like this place but the food has slowly gotten mediocre lately. The waffle fries have been way too seasoned the last 2 visits and my hamburger bun this time was ran over by a car-see photo. read more

Very pricey for what you get. I had burger and Brussel sprouts. You couldn't even poke them with a fork...4 people simple sandwiches and our bill was over $200.00. No value here...

Been there several times. I liked the pizza at first. The last time it was like cardboard. Not sure if they changed it but not as good as I'm used to, maybe needed to cook longer. First time nobody came to our table for drinks after seated, then the manager came and got us waters and my beer and apologized saying she would get the waiter there. No refills thereafter. Family went there a few weeks later, they asked to get To go box for pizza. They said they would do it and took the pizza and never returned with it! Last time was with coworkers from out of state. One didn't get drink refill for 30 minutes but we could see they were sitting on the bar rail. Why? They said the french onion soup was inedible because too salty. I have only had good luck with service sitting at bar. Beer is good. read more

I did take out and it was simply good. The food was well packaged and retained heat. Really good meal, reasonable prices for chef prepared takeout. Will absolutely go back! read more

The Tavern Grill Bismarck - Rio Doso Chicken - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Bismarck, North Dakota

We enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff was polite and friendly. The food wasn't exactly hot And, frankly, the music was so loud we couldn't hear each other across a table The selection was good and the atmosphere seemed festive. But we noticed that at many tables there was no conversation, likely due to the loud music. We especially liked the windows and open feel of the restaurant. read more

The Tavern Grill is a beautiful modern décor restaurant with a grill/pub feel. The service on the night we went was slightly slow but the place was packed on a Friday night and we were in a bigger party. The waitress we had was very sweet though. We had the Bang, Bang Shrimp and Crab Artichoke Dip as a table appetizer for the group. The Bang, Bang Shrimp was very good crispy with a good covering of sauce. The Crab dip was fabulous! Will definitely get that again! My wife had a order of the Boneless Chicken Wings, which we're actually small strips of chicken breast which was different. The buffalo sauce was mild and good. My wife also had the All Thai'd Up Salad which unfortunately was heavy in vinegar. The restaurant did take it off the bill and agreed and scrapped the batch. The pan seared teriyaki salmon was delicious! Overall the experience was good and staff were very nice! read more

The grilled chicken wrap was really good with waffle fries. I seated immediately @ 5:00pm on a Wednesday. The waitress Rachel was friendly and checked on me while eating. The atmosphere was nice and not really loud as some restaurants are. I really enjoyed my visit. read more

Waited 45 minutes until they came out to say the order was not picked up in the system. Very disappointing! This hasn't been the first occurrence of this. read more

The food was all messed up and the waitress was highly rude to me and my family it was just the waitress that we had that was very rude. I highly recommend not coming here if you can't deal with rude people and if you want your food destroyed. Also news update, my fries were very crispy and the manager had to come out and serve us, also they kept messing our food orders up on purpose. If I could rate this zero stars I would %100 put zero stars. read more

The Tavern Grill Bismarck - Cheese curds that are destroyed - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Bismarck, North Dakota

My family stopped in here for lunch on our road trip. We got there about 3 so it wasn't very busy. We got sat right away and greeted by our server right away. She was friendly and helpful with the menu. We had the artichoke and crab dip and the cheese curds for an appetizer. They both came out hot and fresh. The dip was very flavorful and the cheese was perfectly cooked. The cheese curds were great! Your able to built your own burgers, salads, and pizzas. My daughters thought that was fun. We ended up ordering 5 salads and a burger. The burger came out cooked perfect and exactly as we ordered it with a side of mashed potatoes. The salads all came out with fresh ingredients. One had grilled chicken that came out juicy and cooked perfect. One salad had salmon on it which was a bit over cooked but still had great flavor. For a dessert they had a make your own s'mores so we ordered that. It comes out with a little pot that has flammable stuff in it that they light to make a small fire and you roast and put together your own s'mores. This place is family friendly and has a fun atmosphere. The employees were all super friendly. They have a good selection and variety on their menu. We will stop here again if we are in Bismarck again. read more

Looking for a nice dinner after a long day on the road, The Tavern looked stylish and a little upscale. We'll, don't judge a book by its cover. Sitting at the bar, I was served by a desultory bartender who sure looked like she didn't want to be there. So I decided to get something simple and not go crazy. A chicken sandwich with fries and a Caesar salad. For maybe the first time ever dining out, everything was awful. The salad was over dressed with old limp lettuce. The fries were cold and soggy and the sandwich was burnt. A truly terrible meal. And to make it worse, it was huge. Four bites later, I paid my bill and took off. read more

Ordered the meatloaf. Dry and not very good. My wife had the grilled shrimp New Orleans. It was good but a little spicy.

We have been here many times with great food and service but tonight was a different story. I'm unsure what has changed but the service was horrible tonight and we waited forever for our food that wasn't even good when it came out. One member of our party waited 2 hours for a salad. read more

Service was extremely slow. Our waitress was untrained. When the food finally came, it was very mediocre. We won't be returning.

Above average bar food. Better than most, but far from a dining experience. Stiff drinks help distract you from the food a little - so there's that. read more

During a recent visit, my husband and I ordered two Ceasar salads and the crab & artichoke dip. Unfortunately, our experience was very poor. There were flies and fruit flies swarming our booth. The lettuce in our meals wasn't fresh, it was wilted and browning. The crab artichoke dip was full of excessive oil. We soaked up two napkins full and the bottom of the dish was still pooled with oil. read more
