Me & some friends decided to check out Salernos Tavern on Van Born for lunch yesterday, and It was the WORST experience. From the time we walked in we were met with dirty looks, the entire place has a very unwelcoming vibe. The waitress seemed nice at first, until we sent back an order of mini tacos.. then we became an issue. The mini tacos were EMPTY shells with no filling. I’m sorry, why would we pay for that? Where was the filling that was advertised? The lovely lady that was sitting by the door (not sure of her affiliation) was screaming at the guy next to her that she was going to kill him during this mind you. But her tantrum was interrupted when the waitress slammed the unfilled tacos we sent back in front of her, then the screaming turned towards us with this woman going on about how THEY ARE FROZEN TACOS FROM A BAG SO WHAT IF THEY ARE EMPTY. And blatantly mocking us… the paying customers.
Safe to say we paid, left and will absolutely never return. The place is dark, unwelcoming, food sucks, service sucks, and there are MUCH better local bars for a quick lunch. Wild Willy’s came in clutch with their great food & friendly staff after we ditched Salernos.

My husband and I stopped in for a drink and an early dinner and found out they were having live music. The food was good. We had pretzels, wings and sliders and I would recommend them, but the highlight of the night was the music! The band played a perfect mix of new and older music and sounded amazing. I would definitely come back to see the band! Hope the Frauds are coming back soon!

The owner really did a nice job with so much seating, live bands, great food, and a cool nostalgic bar from the 30s! I'll update with photos later. I had the full size chicken wings and they were juicy and delicious. Definitely check this place out.
Friday night bartender 07/13/24 Was absolutely as rude as can be. Highly not recommended. Expensive as well.

Salerno's is a great place to unwind after work, the vibes are chill, the drinks are cold, and the music is great. The owner is very passionate about making it a comfortable place to be. He likes his music to be audible, but not too loud you can't hear yourself talk, his food to be affordable and filling, and he does the cooking himself. A real down to earth guy. The waitresses are courteous, prompt, and they remember what you like. The bathrooms are clean, the tables are spacious. All in all, I love that this place exists. Give it a try!

Great bar with very friendly owner and bartender. Had the Reuben sandwich and it was great! Smoked wings are good too. Take an Uber/Lyft over from around the airport, you won’t regret it!

This is an excellent bar. Music Bingo is very entertaining and the vibe is great. Food is good, but service is excellent.
Better than its been in a long time.
