Service & Food are Top Tier Every time I have eaten there the food was excellent for several reasons Variety of choices Quality & Freshness and imaginative combinations. They have several locations around the Twin Cities area following a similar decor that is part sports bar & part family diner. I've only been to 3 but there are plenty around. Located on the busy intersection of Main St hwy 14 & Lake Drive read more

I wish we made it here more often. We stopped in at lunch on a Friday. Bartender was friendly, helpful and very pleasant. We loved the wild rice soup and I enjoyed their new Hot Honey Chicken Salad. They also offer many gluten *friendly items. The dry rub wings are also a great choice. read more

Met family members here for a nice lunch. I ordered the 1/2 Cob salad one of their lunch specials. I requested all Romain lettuce instead of iceberg and Romain mix. Was a very good salad and big at 1/2 a salad!! My sister in law also got the same salad and she enjoyed it too. My husband got the Texan a bacon cheeseburger with tots. He said it was also good. We'll be back!! Oh. Also great service!! read more

I love stopping in this little pub! It's a sports bar, so there's always some good entertainment. The food comes out pretty fast, and it's proven quite delicious. I especially like the chicken tenders, juicy and flavorful! Worth your stop for sure! read more

My nine-year-old niece insisted we go here during a family visit. She has great taste in shoes, video games and vintage tv shows-how could her culinary advice be wrong? It wasn't! This casual, comfy, family-friendly sports bar has three main rooms, with the large bar in the middle and two dining areas on either side. Nothing fancy-just warm and inviting with lots of tv monitors and a huge menu. I finally settled on the fish and chips. What a huge portion for $17! (Four pieces with fries) My sister-in-law loved her burrito bowl... Mom totally enjoyed her pulled pork sandwich and cole slaw... and my niece and sister both loved their burgers and tots. Everything was cooked well and quickly. Service was impeccable by Trish (she was so attentive and fun with my niece) We left full and happy. There's a private parking lot next to the building. It feels like this place draws a crowd of local regulars... sort of "Cheers" for the Minnesota "after the lake" crowd... where everybody knows your name and your order. Give them a try if you're in the Twin Cities! read more

Our second time here. This time we tried the weekend breakfast. Service was a bit slower but there was only one server. I had the chicken fried steak which was certainly a offshoot from the norm. Never had a chicken fried steak that was not "fried in batter". This one was a thicker steak covered with sausage gravy. Ordered extra gravy which helped me through steak. Hash browns, eggs and English muffin we good Wife had Denver omelet. She said it was good but they used a sweet onion. Certainly non traditional. The biscuits and gravy and french toast were very good. Lunch and dinner are a sure thing here I'll return for those meals. read more

Stopped here for lunch today. We hadn't been here for quite a while so we decided to try it again. I ordered the Cubano with tots. It was good just had a spicy souse on it. My wife ordered the special of the day which was a brisket sandwich. She said it was ok. It was pretty quiet here today with was nice. Sometime this place can be very loud. We enjoyed out lunch. read more

Food 3/5 - I got the 1/2 Broasted Chicken to go and unfortunately it was overly dry. When we have ordered this same dish dining in, it has always been juicy and full of flavor. Service/Ambiance 4/5 - The takeout service was quick and easy but on weekends/busy days they have an automated system wanting you to order online only. read more

This place is incredible! I had the best walleye cakes, I have ever had. We also had the cod basket and it was great!! But the walleye cakes are worth the drive. read more

The tavern on main has excellent food and a good (rotating) beer selection. However, the prized gem of this restaurant is the bartender - Andy. Holy cow!! My family stopped in on the way to a boundary waters fishing trip and spent a few nights eating and drinking with Andy as our host. He recommended the chicken pot pie, which is homemade, and it was an excellent choice. Don't miss out on this great establishment. read more

My wife and kids went here today for lunch based on my recommendation. Elsa J provided the worst service in history. It took her 5 minutes to greet my family and then didn't come back for another 15 minutes to take their order. She never refilled a drink. The food order came out tasting like it sat under a heat lamp for 20 minutes. For a place that I like to recommend I'm very disappointed. I will rethink recommending this place to anyone. Usually great food but really shitty service. read more

The food was ok the service was slow the staff was not very happy I don't know if I would go back a lot of different places to eat at

Pure awesomeness! Great food, caring staff and wonderful mgmt! Do not hesitate eating there!

We've been a fan of this restaurant for years. As usual, we started our Lenten season with their fish fry. These folks know how to prepare battered cod! Not too much batter, and moist, perfectly cooked fish. Served with coleslaw and crisp tater tots, and accompanying sauces. Perfect meal. (And a shout out to Megan C: attentive, efficient, and personable.) read more

I love this place but they are starting to get too pricey for being the neighborhood dive. I go to local finer establishments order same or better wine and drinks and this place is at least $1.50 higher per drink. Yeah I know that sounds minimal but it adds up. Now the however and why I live this place... THE FOOD! Breakfast is phenomenal but get there early as the place fills up. I also go for dinner and I love the homemade chicken noodle soup, made from scratch mashed potatoes, the huge plate of nachos with freshly fried chips. And the bartender Andy, he is a local fan favorite. read more

Great gem - both bar and restaurant. What a find. Food was over the top good. The home made pot pie was amazing and the beer selection was perfect. The bar keep was the bomb - hit of the place. He was amazing and his positive attitude and recommendations were spot on. Kudos to Andy - 5 stars! read more

We were there around 2 in the afternoon. Ordered one drink apiece, sitting at the bar, and then asked for our bill, handing the bartender $10. We were told that just covered the drinks. We said that was pretty expensive for such a light drink. Rather than saying "I'm sorry you feel that way," like any bartender worth his salt, saying, instead, with quite the sarcasm, "it was a shot of liquor. People make stronger drinks at home for themselves -- I, for one, do." Needless to say, we won't go back--not only were the drinks expensive for the surrounding area, but it could have been handled so differently by the establishment being polite to its customers. read more

Four of us stopped in for lunch mid-afternoon on Thursday. We found the dining areas and bar quite busy with patrons obviously enjoying themselves. The service was a tad slow but we were in no hurry, so we had time to peruse the very extensive menu. There are so many tasty choices from which to choose, narrowing down our orders was a bit of a challenge. The Tavern's Famous Artichoke Spinach Dip is featured as an appetizer and as an ingredient of some of the sandwiches and wraps. Wow! It is definitely worth the visit! The Tavern On Main is classic small town Minnesota. Comfortable. Cordial. Like dining with an old friend. Best of all, especially these days, the prices were very reasonable, especially given the quality and quantity of our entrees. We're looking forward to our next trip to Minnesota, including a stop at The Tavern On Main! read more

Second time there bar side first time ! This time not happy ! Server needs a little more training! Not attentive ! Salad always first ! Not here food cold ! Fish was dry ! Chicken not as good as first time read more

My brother was in from California and we wanted to bring my brother to try one of our go to places. A little disappointed. My dad sat down and realized the chair had old food on it and was now all over his pants. The waitress Renee appeared to be in pain. She was limping around but was trying her hardest. We got the Smokehouse burger. It's a burger, with refried beans and pulled pork. It's suppose to be topped with coleslaw but we had to borrow the coleslaw from my sons dinner to top it with. The burger was delicious. Good flavor needed a little more bbq on it. Now my son ordered the dinner special which was a 1/3 rack of ribs. Unfortunately they were extremely dry and disappointing. He did eat them. The bbq sauce had great flavor and wasn't over powering. Hopefully this was a fluke night. With mediocre service and meh food. read more

Local tavern that I have been in once in a while over the years. Went in craving a burger. I ordered the Cajun burger with tots. I really appreciated the size of the tot order as usually there are twice as many as needed. They were good. The burger left a lot to be desired. I thought it was a bacon cheeseburger. I did see a couple of jalapeños in it but no flavor and not spicy at all. I like the spice and this burger was totally flat on spice. read more

Not bad. Nice size menu with a lot of different choices. Sandwiches, burgers, Jucy Lucy's, Broasted Chicken, Appetizers etc. We were there for happy hour and sat at one of the high top tables. Ordered: Nachos Grande- pretty good and a lot of them. Spinach Artichoke Dip White Cheese Curds all good, plenty of it and fast to come out. Service was okay. Very loud inside but what else would I expect on a Friday night. read more

MILLERS ON MAIN REINVENTED Wow, renovations are great ! Nice and fresh and clean in here, ladies room too. I have only been here at lunchtime since the change, but I bet it is still busy at night with the exact same people that were here when it was divier. The lunch menu is perfect = lower prices and smaller portions. Quick service too. However, the regular menu is really high for what it is. A very interesting and well thought out menu. The food is good, but not outstanding. The staff I've seen seems to be pretty good. No complaints here, and the new bar is stunning. Well done.

Was NOT impressed by this place at all! Our server was wearing a mask. HOWEVER I Saw SEVERAL other severs either not wearing a mask or having it just hang on their chin. Also when we were given our bill we were offered contact tracing info- "to fill out OR NOT". NO ONE in the bar was social distancing. It wasn't even setup to SD! The stools were almost touching. Food was basic at best. Tots were like fried mashed potatoes. Server did not bring out plates to share our apps. We requested them. She again did not bring out or check on us. Curds and chicken fingers were practically cold when she finally walked through the dining room and I flagged her down for plates AGAIN. read more

Bar staff is very friendly and made a nice Manhattan. Even a couple extra cherries and did not even need to ask whoop! And was left the chiller with a bit extra Trying the tater tots and broasted chicken. Tater tots were semi warm. The broasted chicken was moist (al white meat) but was posted as secret spice blend. Whatever the secret spice blend is did not taste anything other than flour. Added my own salt which I Rarely ever do do to lack of seasoning. I was expecting the actual broasted breading which would have been perfect. Sorry to my taste total lack of seasoning in the breading material. Fairly small large space with the bar seating all high tops, outside patio area as well As a smaller dining area with salad bar. Salad bar looks well stocked and tasty. All items are made from scratch across the board. I wish I could give a 3.5 but unable to due to limitations with the app. read more

Quite average bar food, but the bar smell is what got me. Th staff was pleasant and our server was good.

I had the fish and chips. It was just OK - very heavy on the breading. Onion rings were great, though. Other people in our group felt similarly about their meals. read more

My girlfriend and I stopped in for a bite about 11:30 Sunday September 15th. I write because the bartender lacked any personality whatsoever. Very stand-offish, bordering on rude. Not only with us but with everyone. OK. Maybe he was having a bad day. I asked for the tab and was given it with items we never ordered or received. He saw me reading it and said he had made a mistake. How could he have done that? What other couple in the whole establishment let alone at the bar ordered exactly what we did plus those two additional items? Is he a crook? That's how I feel. This was the first time we have ever been to this establishment and because of the bartender most likely will be our last. I must add that the Ultimate Bloody Mary was fantastic. read more

Service... Exceptional Food... Better than anything in/near Blaine Beer... curated selection... always on rotation Wings... perfect The only thing that would make this place better is if I pulled a $200 pulltab. Juicy Lucy, spicy cauliflower, broasted chicken... all delicious. Yes please! I have a hard time trying something new, I like what I've tried sooooo much. Seriously this place is a winner. read more

Stumbled on this place on a Wednesday evening. The parking lot was full but it is large enough inside that we got a table right away. It is a loud but lively place with a bar on one side with tables and just table seating on the other. Wait staff was very pleasant and helpful. Happy hr was $3 off all apps and discounted drinks. Wings were very good as were the cheese curds. The southwest salad didn't have much flavor for our taste but was a very large salad and we were Abe to share. All food coming out of the kitchen looked very good. Wait time was minimal. I would eat here again. read more

ANDY ROCKS. Breakfast was unreal. Bloody mary was fantastic, and the drinks were strong. Definitely my new favorite place.

The Tavern on Main is a re-spin of Miller's on Main The decor is a step up. Much nicer. The food is pretty much the same with a few new twists. The "Small Block" and "Big Block" are still on the menu. We tried the Lino Lucy. It was ok, but I've had better. The wife got the blue cheese version. I got the pepper cheese version. The tots were a good side. The fries were that coated style - not my favorite. If you liked Miller's on Main, you'll like this better. If you're new to the area, its a newly decorated bar - with bar food. read more

We were in town for a funeral and had no idea where to go for a good meal and a stiff drink, so we asked the front desk at our hotel. They recommended The Tavern on Main and it did not disappoint. We ended up going three times during our stay! The first time we were a party of 8 and the server did a tremendous job taking care of all of us, even bantering back and forth and lightening our moods. I don't remember her name but she was awesome!! The food was also REALLY good. I ordered the poutine - fries smothered with their 16-hour brisket and some amazing sweet & creamy bbq sauce. A couple people ordered the walleye fingers and raved about them. The second time we went, we just got drinks, and again the server (a different one) was great. She was bright, friendly, and patient. Shout out to this awesome local restaurant/bar for doing it right. read more

I met a friend here for lunch today but I have been here many times before all the way back to Millers on Main days. The food here is always great and has improved over the years. I had cauliflower bites that were a little spicy and were awesome. I also had the Texan burger, I requested medium and thought like most places it would be more well done however it was exactly medium. I was so surprised at how well prepared the burger was. The waitress was fantastic and allowed us time to chat and catchup and still was around often enough. It was a great lunch. read more

Excellent hidden gem. It looks so small I would have never stopped if I had not seen yelp reviews and checked out the menu first. Lots of variety, and potions were large. We had walleye fingers (excellent), fish n chips, chicken chimichanga, and kids chicken and ribs. Service was great, despite being a busy Sat evening. We were visiting family in the area, and would definitely come here again. read more
