Everything was amazing💯 It was super packed at 630pm on Thursday but service was great. Smoked old fashion was awesome. The sampler meat plate was huge and perfect. And only $23! Great deal for all that meat! Got a side of their homemade buffalo sauce. It was perfect 😋 Oh the Mac n cheese was not great. Not a lot of flavor. Should've gone with the fries.

From the scratch kitchen to the bar, everyone cares about your experience here.
I moved close by in July ‘25 and this became an instant staple. Don’t sleep on the happy hour specials, their pizzas are incredible too and 1/2 price during HH.
The catering for Thanksgiving IMO is unmatched and allowed us to host our 1st Thanksgiving in our new home with an infant. This place and its staff will always hold a special place in our lives and our hearts. Thank you always Pierce Tavern

Amazing food and really kind staff! The menu is way more elevated than typical American bar food.

Place is great, but terrible host! I'm a loyal customer, the kitchen and bar area are super clean, the food is delicious, and the overall vibe is just right. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and killer burgers! Exactly the kind of place you want to keep coming back to, but definitely need to hire professional host the current one (She) is just way out of league.

Came for the happy hour specials. Ordered two pizzas and an alcoholic beverage. Pizzas were ok, nothing special.

Great brick oven pizza. Staff are really good. The restaurant is beautiful and warm on this cold night.
Ordered the Chicken Satay for door dash delivery this evening and several of the pieces of chicken were raw. Looked cooked on the outside but didn’t realize it until I started chewing a very chewy piece. I called the restaurant and the person who answered the carryout line said he couldn’t refund me and could only give me a new one if I was willing to come pick it up. I realize that was probably the case with a door dash order so I told him I was more concerned about their cooks sending raw chicken to a customer. He couldn’t have been more dismissive and annoyed and said in a very condescending tone that he’ll be sure to tell the cook. Then essentially hung up immediately after that. Terrible customer service along side dangerous food practices. I will not be ordering food from here again and hoping I won’t get sick.

I chose this place after going to a haunted house in the area. I simply googled late night food with a great ambiance. I checked out the menu and everything seemed fantastic. The food was tasty and the environment was totally cute!

My fiancé and I have eaten at Pierce Tavern multiple times before and the food is always amazing. This time, I decided to host a Halloween event here for the company I work for, and the service went above and beyond! Everyone was so attentive and friendly, and the food was just as great as always. Highly recommend for both casual dining and events!

Well run great operation with a diverse menu that delivers great food. Prices across the board very reasonable and fair. Wish this operation were next to my house
We drove 35 mins to eat at Chama Gaucho Brazilian on Finely. Its not open for lunch at this time. We stumbled upon this place and it was a score. Cheesecurds, fried Caulifower, breaded wings, and Brussels side were absolute aces. Tito's & Soda at $8 is a deal. THE $11 muddled Old Fashioned i had was better than the $18 one i had at Mastro's Scottsdale the week before. Friendly service from bartender. Great spot.
Get the cheese curds, Tavern Burger, and Pierce Fashioned. Your day will automatically go from 0-100. The vibe and atmosphere are exactly what you’re looking for in a corner bar restaurant! Love this place, never disappoints.

Had a great time here with friends! Really loved the margherita pizza and amazing drinks. The vegetarian burger wasnt up to the mark and could have been better
