Lemonade for my sis-in-love and GUINESS for the rest of the party. She had the apple, pecan salad chicken salad which was thoroughly enjoyed. The menu contains a nice variety of choices. I had the Chicken Salad. It was BEAUTIFUL! Avocado, red onions, craisins (YUM!!) and a beautifully prepared chicken breast. It was fantastic! My husband ordered a blackened turkey with white American cheese on chula mayo on cheddar crusted Vienna bread. He loved it! It looked really nice - - and it came with fried to perfection and seasoned sour cream. The sour cream was an additional cost, but a nice touch for sure. Our brother-in-love had the monthly special. Called "The Oh-MaMa" it looked super.

My bartender was apathetic and uninterested. Cue the eye roll... if you need more bar staff, hire them. I sat with the menu for 20 minutes before making the call to get up and leave. Do better! When I asked the waitress if I could pay for my beer, she then acknowledged she was slow, but couldn't help it because they were understaffed. Sorry, not good enough.

Ah, Texas Roadhouse. The only one I have ever been to was in Omaha, Nebraska. The family unit…read moredecided to go to the one in Apple Valley, Minnesota to celebrate the start of the new school year for our 11 year old daughter who would be starting the 6th grade. We decided to go early since this location tended to be busy on a Saturday evening. We signed in online to the waiting list to eat at 4:00 pm (no reservations for this location). We showed up on time and got seated immediately. The wife and I got a couple of martinis, and asked for them on the rocks. They came in a martini glass, no ice. Still no big deal, but they were a bit small. We didn't order apps, but chowed on the fantastic homemade famous bread and cinnamon apple butter. We paced ourselves, and only got two total baskets since we didn't want to get too full. Yummo. My daughter ordered from the grown up ranger kid menu, and got the petite steak and steak fries. The wife got the tenderloin medallions with rice, a loaded baked potato, and broccoli. I got the 14 ounce Fort Worth ribeye with mashed potatoes and gravy, and a loaded chili (which I didn't eat but brought home). The food came out quickly, and the steak was cooked to order (the kiddo got it medium well, the wife medium well, and mine ordered medium). All in all the food was fantastic. The wife's medallions were super tender and spiked with a peppercorn topping. The kiddo said her steak needed more seasoning, but she polished off all of it. My ribeye was excellent, but I only ate a 1/4 of it since it was so rich, but very tender. I may or may not of helped my wife eat hers though. The kiddo ended the dinner with a nice fat piece of strawberry cheesecake. A bit skimpy of the strawberry topping, but the cheesecake was very good. All in all, the meal was very good, and the price of the meal was pretty on par for a working man's (person) steakhouse. The only hiccup of the night was when we left to go home. The dang SUV wouldn't start! We had two separate good Samaritans try to jump the battery, but no go. AAA was called (thanks sis! She lived a few minutes away). Turned out I needed a new battery. So $350.00, and two hours later, we finally made it back home. Expensive night out? Um yes. Stupid battery. But the food was great! We will come back to this location again. Just be aware that this place was pretty full, even at 4:00 pm, and it was LOUD! Good energy in the place though, and our server was excellent.

They sing the yee-haw song if it's your birthday and they also give you an option to ride the saddle. The birthday celebrant also gets a complimentary ice cream. The place was packed and busy but our servers came to check on us frequently. I got the 12 oz ribeye with ribs which was definitely too much food for one person ha! I don't think I have to go into details on how the food was because they were all delicious! The dinner rolls is always a bonus and you must try the onion ring flower when you visit any Texas Roadhouse! 11/10 would always recommend!

They also have a lovely patio area but it was 100 degrees out so we opted to eat inside. We were seated in the lower booth area by the windows by a very friendly hostess. The area itself was fairly quiet which was nice. Our waiter was friendly, personable, and prompt. When asked questions he was helpful. My husband had a Veggie burger with fries and I had Fish Tacos (GF). Food was served quickly and it was hot. Portions are good sizes for the price. The burger and fries were not too salty but seasoned well and my only recommendation I would give is to put a bit more "bang bang' on the shrimp taco otherwise, we had a very good and delicious lunch and we will be back because your service and food is pretty awesome!

Oh boy...where to start? I guess I will start with the pros…read more First, I always like to mention what day and time I visited a restaurant. I decided to get takeout for lunch on a Monday afternoon. I have been on a kick lately trying Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwiches, or in Barley and Vine's case, the Tennessee Hot Chicken Sandwich. That was the main reason I wanted to stop by for lunch. I placed a to-go order, but we have also dined inside several times before. Starting with the positives, the staff is always very friendly and welcoming. There is really no issue there. The staff is fantastic. The overall vibe and ambiance of the restaurant are incredibly nice as well. It leans toward a fancier, higher-end, upscale atmosphere. I honestly think that may be part of the reason several reviews are so positive and why people may perceive the food as being higher quality or better tasting. We have also had brunch here more than once. We are generally not brunch people, but we have really enjoyed the brunch items we have ordered in the past. I am hoping we can come back for brunch again, and maybe I can eventually write an updated review with a higher rating. So why only 3/5 stars? My most recent to-go visit left me incredibly disappointed. To start, the Tennessee "Hot" Chicken Sandwich is not hot at all. "Hot" is absolutely not the correct word to use. It should probably just be called a Tennessee Chicken Sandwich, and honestly, even using "Tennessee" or "Nashville" does not seem accurate. This seemed like a basic Fried Chicken Sandwich made from a frozen chicken filet with far more breading than actual chicken. It is not the most pleasant photo to look at, but I attached a picture of the partially eaten sandwich to this review. You can clearly see how little chicken meat there actually was. They put white BBQ sauce on the sandwich, but I do not really have anything particularly good or bad to say about it. It was just kind of there. It did not improve the sandwich, but it did not necessarily make it worse either. The fries were also just fine. They seemed to be lacking flavor and may have been slightly burnt. Speaking of overcooked, the chicken sandwich also tasted overcooked. Overall, the sandwich and fries were simply not very good. I would never order the sandwich again, and I would probably substitute the fries for a different side in the future. Another issue is the repeated delay with to-go orders. I have ordered takeout from Barley and Vine maybe three or four times, and every single time the order has been late. I usually arrive only one or two minutes before the scheduled pickup time. Sometimes I even wait in the parking lot because I do not want to arrive too early. Every single time, the order is not ready at the scheduled time. This time, I only had to wait about six minutes past the pickup time. However, during my previous to-go experience a few weeks earlier, I waited more than 15 minutes past the scheduled pickup time. This has also happened during other visits. Finally, everything usually comes down to whether the meal is worth the price. I paid $17.77 for the Tennessee Hot Chicken Sandwich with fries. That included a 48 cent credit card surcharge. They add a 3% surcharge to all credit card payments, which automatically leaves a bad taste in my mouth at any restaurant. It's not something they have to do, to support higher wages or whatever they want to tell you. It's something they CHOOSE to do. Other restaurants don't do, or they simply increase their menu prices 3%. Which I would rather have than yet another fee in this world. Regardless, the meal was simply not worth the price. The sandwich was not flavorful, was not spicy, did not contain enough chicken, and tasted overcooked. The fries also seemed overcooked and lacked flavor. It was not a good value. You could drive a little farther down the road to Dave's Hot Chicken and get a more flavorful meal, a larger portion, and a lower price. This review feels harsh, but I am hoping it comes across as constructive criticism if management happens to read it. Overall, I cannot recommend ordering takeout from Barley and Vine. I cannot recommend the Tennessee Hot Chicken Sandwich, and I do not particularly recommend the fries either. They were not absolutely terrible, but they were not great. I am still hoping to visit Barley and Vine again. I will likely avoid ordering takeout because it has consistently been a poor experience. However, I hope we have a better experience the next time we dine inside, and I will definitely be ordering something else.

She was so sweet and took very good care of our table! We got onion rings whichwere great! They had a crunch and the onions were done well!

She said it did taste different than years ago, but still very good! My boys and I got the thin crust half cheese half pepperoni pizza. Again not quite the same as what I remember but very tasty!

It didn't add much to the flavor of the burger so cold take or leave this. The fries were also pretty average but they give you a large portion.

Tavern Grill recently revamped their menu and they have some really great dishes! Some notable dishes: -- The Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps appetizer is SO fresh and flavorful! You can add on cashews and avocado. The avocado slices were so thick and fresh. The wonton strips were some of the best I've had -- so light and crispy. The thai peanut sauce on the chicken was fantastic and the ginger sauce had a pretty decent kick to it. -- The Chicken Skewers entree is my go-to dish. It's such a classic and it has consistently been good every time I've ordered it. The chicken is juicy and the peppers and onions have a nice charred grilled flavor. The garlic parmesan sauce complements the dish well. -- The Chicken Wild Rice Soup is on the chunkier side, which I enjoyed! It was nice and creamy and didn't skimp out on the wild rice. The Clam Chowder served on Fridays was a little too salty. -- The Skillet Cookie is so warm and gooey! The ice cream melts right into the warm cookie. The cookie is on the doughier side and the outside is on the softer side. It's almost the size of the entire plate, so it's easily shareable between a few people. -- The Fish Fry Basket doesn't taste too greasy, and the tarter sauce complements the fish well. The fish has a clean flavor and on Fridays you can get a refill of 4 pieces of fried fish for an additional $7.50. You can add on their seasoned sour cream for an additional cost. The seasoned sour cream is thick and adds so much flavor to the waffle fries. Last time I was there I received very friendly and attentive service from Sam.

I called next day and was left on hold. Then hung up on. After calling back multiple times they didn't answer call. I called from a different number and they answered. Spoke to Mike who claimed he was the GM. Mike was rude didn't want to help. I explained they charged me quite a bit more than the tip and bill. He stated he wasn't there and he couldn't explain why I was charged more. Said he wouldn't fix the bill but couldn't explain why I was charged more. I told him then he should just remove the tip and have it match the receipt. He said he wouldn't do that because I digested the food. I stated I'd pay for the food but you aren't going to tip your establishment 50% of my bill when I never authorized that. He hung up on me. Response to Tavern T the owner. As you may have read I already spoke to Mike who claimed he was the GM and he wouldn't resolve the issue. Why would it be different now? I even advised Mike I would be writing reviews and potentially filing a lawsuit. It wasn't about the money as much as principle. He laughed and said he encourages me to. Clearly he doesn't care about his patrons and is willing to lose business over small amounts of money
