The restaurant is seat-yourself, but the service was excellent. I had a server with water and a drink request at my table in less than two minutes. Very friendly staff, fast food from the kitchen, and though I only had soup and an appetizer I was very impressed. Their Chicken and Wild Rice is a little bit soupy (I prefer creamy) but the flavor was spot on, and required no salt added. The steak bites weren't dry and the onion slivers were like little onion ring bites. The tangy sauce tasted a bit too ketchupy (it worked for the onion rings), but the horsey Blue cheese was a perfect match for the steak.I would certainly visit again when I have more time and try the steak sandwich or burger. Looking forward to trying more of the menu!

I love their soup options and their tavern bowl was delicious. I don’t recommend the walleye sliders. The bread was hard and the walleye was meh.

Good food, a little too salty
The service (Maddie), atmosphere, food (vegan Impossible burger), and drinks (raspberry cocktail) were excellent! Thanks for making my time in St. Paul even better!

Great bar-restaurant vibe, we highly enjoyed our visit pre-concert at the Palace theater! We were well taken care of at the bar & really enjoyed the burrata flatbread & poke bowl! We'll be back, thank you!

The server was great it's just a bad food n drinks. The worst esspresso martini I've ever had. And for the place that's suppose to be known for there burgers they were SO mediocre. I will probably not be back there's so many better places in dowmtown st

Went for lunch with a group of 6. Everyone enjoyed their food of burgers, tacos, salad and turkey plate. Atmosphere is great - casual but a couple steps up from the usual sport bar setting we have come to assume. Even had cloth napkins, but prices were very reasonable. Will be back for happy hour!!

I really liked the mushrooms and onions on my French Dip but the meat was pretty dry. The service was very friendly and welcoming so we will give this place another chance!

Went here last year and liked it, completely different this year. The service was poor, the server seemed annoyed that we were there (and they weren't busy). My wife asked if they had a hot drink on the menu, server said no, but then we saw a hot cocoa drink. Was described as having whipped cream, came out tepid with no whipped cream. Mentioned that and the server was irritated, said she'd try to find some. She did. Burgers were lackluster (one piece of bacon on the deep fried bacon burger, really??) and the fries were soggy and not really fresh. Won't be back.

They lost a star for food because the turkey pot pie was not a pot pie. The bowl had the potpie filling in the bottom, and then there was a slightly burnt bread thrown on top of it. I'm sorry... a pot pie should have a flaky crust that encapsulates the filling. While the bread was not flaky and slightly burnt, it was still tasty.My wife and one of our friends had the open face turkey sandwich. They both loved it. My wife had the GF bun and said it was one of the better GF buns she's had. The Tots were crispy and wonderful. Our other friend had the Wild West Wabasha burger. He enjoyed it. More like inhaled it. He said it was fantastic.While the food was very tasty and the service was great, there is a 5% kitchen service fee added to the bill, which was clearly designated as not the service tip. It was on the menu, and we were aware of it ahead of time. But come on... just raise the price. Additional fees are just upsetting, and I'd rather just pay a higher price for the meal.Also, they were out of Moscato. How does a tavern run out of a wine on a Friday evening?Our server was amazing. Friendly and knowledgeable.We'll go back for sure.
Vegetarian options: They can replace any burger with a vegiburger.
Dietary restrictions: They have GF buns.
Parking: There is a ramp immediately across the street and one built into the building. The built-in one, you have to. Walk around a bit. Kind of odd. It's easier to park in the one across the street.They don't validate.
