You won't find a better burger in the area. The staff is super friendly, they go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience and you enjoy your food/drinks. In over two decades, I haven't found a better neighborhood tavern. If you haven't before, give this place a chance, you won't regret it! read more

My family and I often get burgers to go from this local restaurant. I did not make the call so I cannot speak for customer service. Generally speaking we are often happy with our burgers and food overall. But this time was different because there was hair in two of our burgers ; mine turned out fine thankfully. Please put a hair tie regulation in place for employees with longer hair so this doesn't happen again. And provide hair ties in the office in case if someone doesn't come in with their hair tied back read more

Finally went back to order fries, and the onion rings that they owed me and supposedly this is an order of onion rings read more

The Tavern - I don't know about you, but I ain't ever laughed so hard at them saying that this was an order of onion rings. - Bars Near Me - Niles, Michigan

Good food,great prices,very pleasant experience. And made it to our destination in town on time

After going to this place for 3 years, I finally got a burger how I asked for it cooked (med). I was so happy. Service is good, food comes out hot. It's a bar, it's cozy, clean. I would like to see more space between the table and booth. I would Differently go back . read more

Excellent burgers and phenomenal prices! Great French fries go well with the Tavern's excellent burgers! Smaller place, fast & friendly service with excellent food and prices! read more

A friend recommended we try them for a good juicy burger. And man did they deliver!!! So so very good! The juice runs down your arms and I promise you won't mind! The ONLY downside I have is the cash only. I never carry cash so it can't be an impulse place to go. We have to plan the visit . But now we order from there about once a month. Yummmmm!!! read more

I TOTALLLY LOVE THIS PLACE!!! So cozy and comfortable, waitresses are hella friendly and food is yummy. Prices are reasonable, they even let me be the "DJ" when I go there LOL. Best spot on the planet hands down bar none. read more

Amazing food. Great prices for what you get. Staff is friendly and always there to help. Highly recommend!

Friendly neighborhood tavern. Great Burgers and Fries. Excellent service. CASH ONLY. ATM Available inside. Worth the drive from South Bend, Elkhart, Granger, Mishawaka, etc. read more

Small town bar with awesome burgers, cheap beer and quaint atmosphere. They are cash only but there is a ATM inside. We have never had a bad meal and the owners and staff are very pleasant to deal with and mature. If you play pool there is one table where you can play a game for about a buck. The most important thing to me is the extreme cleanliness of the entire building especially the restrooms. If you never been to The Tavern you are missing a gem. read more

Great place for the BEST cheeseburger and sweet potato fries! All the waitstaff are awesome! Beer prices are also cheap!

The food is so good and the popcorn is sooo buttery and delicious. The service there is good too.

Absolutely, hands down the best burger in the area. Goes best with a Sprecher Root Beer, too! Fries are great as well. Haven't had a bad meal once and don't suppose I will in the future. It's a local crowd with a great atmosphere. Friendly staff and quick service. Not too noisy but just enough to make it a fun atmosphere! read more

The food was great, and the service was terrible from the start. It was made clear that we were not welcome from the point we sat down. It was clear we were not a regular and not welcome.If you want to get food from here, I suggest getting it to go. read more

Just a great old fashioned bar who have the Best Burgers & lowest menu prices in Berrien County!!! Staff is very friendly. It's our new go too place for bar food now!!! read more

We picked up burgers and fries to take home based on other yelp reviews. Did not disappoint. Order was ready when they quoted it would be. The burgers were fantastic! Not super greasy, bacon and cheese in between each patty not just on top. Fresh toppings! The fries were bigger but not quite steak fries. Well cooked though, did not have a mushy fry. Heads up- ***CASH ONLY*** they do have an atm inside. I've also come here to have a couple beers and they have a good selection of draft and craft beers. Something for everyone. read more

So this is easily my wife and I's new favorite place in the Michiana area. We found it when we were house hunting one night and fell in love. They are cash only so keep that in mind but they have an ATM in the establishment. It really is by far the best burger I've ever had anywhere. They cook to order, and have plenty of topping options. For me I always get a double bacon cheeseburger with ketchup mustard pickle mayo and grilled onions. Their appetizers are delicious (and affordable compared to other places.) they have a decent drink selection and a billiards table! Also last time we were in we toyed with the Touch Tunes juke box, very neat! Would recommend 1,000 times! read more

First time there. Burgers were good, service was friendly, good prices. Had soft drinks, server was attentive to making sure our glasses stayed full. Parking lot has huge mud puddles; this was a bit off-putting. read more

CASH ONLY! The deluxe bacon burger and French fries were excellent. Booth or bar seating only which I personally don't care for. Also, CASH ONLY ! read more

This is our GO TO place for a great burger. WARNING - CASH ONLY. They do have an ATM machine inside. Burgers are cooked to order and are just excellent. Lots of side selections and we always order several and share. Service can be slow during busy times. read more

We ate here last night. I was jealous when my parents say they have gone without me. I was up from Indianapolis and requested to go. We go to have the bacon cheeseburger and they are always delicious. On past trips I have had the onion rings and mushrooms, which are also delicious. This time I had the sweet potato fries which were just okay. It is very dark inside and they only accept cash. When you drive by it would probably appear to be a hole in the wall place that some wouldn't stop, but I say go for it and give it a try. read more

My coworker picked The Tavern for her anniversary lunch. We walked in at 12:30 and they got us right in. There were ten of us and they had a round table that comfortably seated us all. The waitress was friendly and prompt, never missed a beat. I ordered my cheeseburger "smashed" meaning squished to make it thinner. The cheeseburger was good but I have had better, think Five Guys. I also ordered the seasoned fries and spicy pepper jack cheese balls. The cheese was great! The seasoned fries were fine, nothing to complain about but I will say they reminded me of some I've made at home from the freezer. I think I'll try the traditional fries next time. My coworkers all liked their meals including a BLT, chicken tenders and huge onion rings. They had really interesting and unique bottled beer and sodas. I tried a craft cream soda and it was great and huge! We were there over an hour and I didn't finish it. read more

See all

The food is good and beer ok , not much on tap . They do only take cash but to have an ATM . They could work on the service though ! But they do only have two people working one behind the bar and one on the floor . Just need to work on a little more friendliness . But food is good , nothing fancy but good , it's with a try if you have the cash , read more

This place was great. We needed a spot to stop on our way down south and their kitchen was open until midnight!! We got there around 11:45pm and they still made us some chili and double bacon burger. Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Good. The chili was the best chili I've ever had. Wow. And the bacon chunks in it was so good. The burger was swallowed in about 5 bites. This place was cool. A bit Midwestern (ie all white people). But after the first half hour, the stares wore off. read more

Went there to celebrate a coworkers one years anniversary. Very small with approximately 8 booths on the right side as you come in. There is bar seating as well, however only one large table for groups bigger than 4 for people. The rest of the area is taken up by one pool table. The food is typical bar food somewhat limited in burger, chicken wings and stick, some fish as well. However, I think the best things were the jack cheese balls and the unique way the waitress ask what you want to dip your balls in. read more

We will never go to this establishment again. We are not those hard to please type of people, yet the last three times we have been in there we have never been waited on. Totally ignored and never served even a glass of water. When I politely brought this to their attention....they acted like it was our fault and barely apologized. Never again. read more

Very clean bar and booths and the food is really great. Prices are reasonable and the wait staff is friendly. Tiny bathrooms and cash only are the only slightly negative things. read more

Nice corner neighborhood bar. First time here. Bartender treated us like crap, yelled us to go sit down when we tried to order at the bar. That turned me off of ordering and appetizers or sandwiches. Left the appropriate tip too. Would like to try it with friendly service, it might be worth coming to. read more

Best burgers in the area for sure. Can wait a while but it's worth it. Also fun place to play some pool where leagues don't use the tables all night. read more

Nice little dive bar in Niles. It's off the beatin path, but best burgers in town. Staff is very friendly and good service. Only negative is they do not accept credit cards, but they do have ATM. read more

Mediocre food. Terrible service. You have been warned! Tonight we went there the first time (definitely the last). Eight of us got the big table at the corner, ordered drinks and food. For the next hour, the waitress passed by with her forced smile ensuring us that the food is coming. We were on our way to a haunted house, so finally my friend walked up to the bar and asked for the check. After another 15 minutes I did as well, and got the same "your food is ready". The food arrived an hour and 20 minutes after we ordered, and the waitress acted like nothing happened. It took another 15 minutes to get the check. If something is wrong with the kitchen, we customers have the right to know how long we need to wait (that's service 101). Lying to customers and making them wait more than an hour for subpar food is pathetic. Even worse, our waitress and the lady at the bar appeared to be bored and disinterested with us the whole time. We will never go back. Thanks but no thanks. read more

The Tavern is a small little bar with a great atmosphere. Food is great and they have good drink prices. Love to hang out here with friends on a Saturday night, and it's not too busy. read more

Standout local burger spot. Amazing service; our waitress (the only waitress) went above and beyond to help us nab a table at the tail end of the Friday happy hour crowd. Food arrived quickly and was piping hot; not soggy or greasy. Great seasoned fries and fried pickle chips. Remember to bring cash. read more

Amazing burgers, for a minute I thought I was at Five Guys! We also got chili cheese fries and they were very good - the chili is apparently homemade and made daily. The burger meat is not frozen according to the waitress which is what makes it so good. read more

Reliable tasty bar food. Clean. Quiet. The food is severely overpriced but the drinks aren't too bad. Just a small local hole in the wall.

Did not like having to pay extra for sauces I didn't really receive but the service was amazing and the food was DELICIOUS!

BEST jalapeño poppers I've ever had! A very quaint and cute place with an extremely great atmosphere! Loved it and it won't be the last time I come! (Only sad part, cash only but they do have an ATM). read more

Best food great wait staff nothing bad to say great all around.Hamburgers are mouth watering good! Best in area!
