    Memphis Hot Chicken 6 Piece
    Raisa B.

    We were in Eagan and had two hours while our daughter was at a birthday party, and we asked a friend for a restaurant suggestion. Without hesitation, he told us to go to Yankee Tavern. We were seated right away, and the Halloween decorations were awesome! (Our son loved walking around and checking out all the spooky creatures while we waited for our food.) $3 Hamms pints during Happy Hour? Yes, please! The kiddo had a cheeseburger with fries and a chocolate milk. The burger was huge! My husband and I split the six piece fried chicken, Memphis Hot! This came with three sides of our choice, so we got tater tots, Szechuan green beans, and coleslaw. It was SO MUCH food! We took half home and had it for lunch the next day. Flavors were good and service was fantastic. The only downside is that it's far away from our house. I will absolutely go back if we have the opportunity.

    Chicago Brisket

    Sat at the bar. Bar was pretty full but tables were open. Bartender wasn't friendly. Acted like we were an inconvenience. Disappointed. Food was ok. Brisket was way too salty. Cheese curd was delicious though.

    Dry rub wings and the best blue cheese I've ever had
    Emilee K.

    I've been to Yankee Tavern many times with family and friends. Decided to get the dry rub chicken wings and cheeseburger flatbread for the first time, and OMG they were both SO GOOD!!! The wings had a smoky flavor and the blue cheese was the best I've ever had. The flatbread crust was buttery and crispy. I don't know how I've gone this long without ordering either of these items. Will definitely be back!

    First time coming to Yankee Tavern on 6/11/2021. The place was clean, the tables were spaced well enough for social distancing and the booths had covered partition in between. The staff was attentive and pleasant, our server kept excellent track of what everybody was ordering (our party arrived at different times and some had dinner and others didn't). The drinks were well made and worth the price. Will certainly go back.

    Didn't think the foam on this beer was real... it never changed.

    Hey, I like this place! These owners have created a great venue that is a cross between a clean city dive, a supper club and a sports bar. It had all my favorite elements I look for in finding a new relaxing establishment for food, drink, tunes, sports on the tv and some friendly staff and patrons. Bartender Scott was behind the bar tonight by himself and he was working his tail off! My husband and I enjoyed a couple of drinks that were very reasonably priced. An IPA for $5.25 each and a Tuesday night margarita special for $3.50. We enjoyed the dry rub wings $10.50 with a large bowl of blue cheese dressing and the reaper burger that was spicy "hot"!... but pretty darn good. Most items don't typically come with a side ( which is just fine) so we did order the Parmesan crusted Mac and cheese and it really was good- not sure I really have ever order Mac and cheese at a restaurant without being with children. We finished our dinner and walked outside to the patio deck- what a nice spot with beautiful flowers where we could see several groups playing bocce ball and also getting bar service. How cool is that? We would love to return this summer with some friends and or family on a lazy weekend afternoon and soak up some sun and fun. Oh.. by the way. They have hard boiled eggs on the bar. Just crack and enjoy.

    Food is gross. We live a block away and won't go back. I give this place two stars because the decor saves the horrid food.

The restaurant has a bar-and-grill atmosphere, which makes sense given the brewery focus. It felt lively but still comfortable for a holiday dinner, and the menu offered several appealing choices both for the special and on the regular menu. We started with shrimp, which was cooked properly and had a good texture--firm and enjoyable without any rubbery or off-putting qualities. The French onion soup was a comforting course and fit the meal well. For the main, I ordered the burger, which was solid and satisfying. While not flashy, it was well prepared and enjoyable. A standout side was the sweet potato fries, which were exceptionally crisp with just the right amount of salt--easily some of the best I've had in a while. The dessert rounded out the meal nicely and completed the four-course experience. Nothing during the meal disappointed me; everything we had was good and well executed. Service was pleasant and professional. Our server was friendly and attentive, though the kitchen timing was a bit slow. We did notice that a few tables seated after us received their food sooner, but it wasn't enough to detract significantly from the overall experience. At $69 for a four-course Valentine's Day meal, the special felt like a good deal, offering variety and solid quality without feeling overpriced. Overall, Granite City delivered a comfortable, enjoyable holiday dinner with reliable food and good value.

Solid start. Then came my entrée, the Mediterranean chicken. And let me tell you... those tomatoes were not behaving. They tasted like they took a wrong turn on the way from the garden and picked up some strange personality along the way. They looked sad and faded like they'd just been told their vacation got canceled. The rest of the dish tried its best, but the tomatoes were such little troublemakers that the whole thing landed at a 5/10 for me. Not bad, not great, just "yeah... that happened." They took our order and they delivered our food just fine. Prompt. I think the ambiance is decent there, although it would be nice not to get seated in the middle of the room.

I received an extremely greasy chili dog (the bottom of the bun was stained orange as if it was literally just sitting in grease, I had to tear the entire bottoms off. The chili was COMPLETELY flavorless with a non meat like chew, thats really as far as I can explain that one. It was like there, but tasted and disintegrated as if it wasn't. As well as, everything generally just came out as if it had been sitting around, it was cold and a bit stale. I also ordered a "THE FARMER" from their breakfast menu, and though this was better and a little fresher, the potatoes were still cold and mostly uneatable. So, inna nutshell I haven't tried everything, but this isn't the first time a meal I've had from there came out subpar. Price to quality food ratio id have to rate it like a 2-3, the hotdog was 8 dollars and "the farmer" was around 13-14. With that in mind, to have points where I am genuinely STRUGGLING through my meal is crazy. I would have to rate my overall experience between a 3 - 4 outta 10. If you don't mind a cool store and a gamble check it out !

The interior is modern and inviting, with some fun wallpaper making a statement. We cozied up to the bar during this visit. I will say that bar was a bit sloppy during our visit...bartenders' water bottles cluttering the visible space, bartenders spilling our drinks a bit during delivery, and weird transitions of staff that were a bit distracting. The Espresso Martini was the best item I ordered! Well balanced and the addition of the cold foam really made for an enjoyable sip. Would absolutely return for that one! The bites we ordered had great flavor, but some fell a bit flat when trying to live up to their creative ideas. The Fried Pickles were the best food item: perfectly crispy medallions with two delicious dipping sauces. The "burnt ends" cauliflower are really just roasted cauliflower with BBQ sauce on top, missing out on the umami juiciness of their namesake. The Chips that came with the Dip were just ruffled potato chips, not housemade or interesting. Solid spot for happy hour if you're looking in the area!

The atmosphere gives after-work energy -- a place where you can unwind with coworkers or commune with family and friends. And the background tunes were on point. Happy Hour is getting a 4.5/5 from me. I'll definitely be back to keep this series going.

But on our drive there, we decided we'd both try something that we typically wouldn't try to see if it changed our views. I tried the breakfast sandwich. It was decent, not anything I'd ever crave. The bacon overpowered everything else, even the everything bagel! She did the egg farm grazer which was vegetables and quinoa topped with an egg. She said it was fine as well. Both of our meals were on par with previous experiences. Our two other sisters chose some sort of waffle. One was the hope waffle which was good, standard waffle with fruit. The other was chicken and waffles, the taste is decent but the portion was surprisingly large! 4 pieces of chicken with the waffle! As we finished with our meals, I was happy that we weren't disappointed with our food, so that was a win! But they watch your time so carefully. The moment we were sitting for 90 mins on the dot, they asked us to go. So if you're looking for a place to catch up with someone, don't let it be here!
