This is becoming one of my favorite places in River Falls. I've never eaten here but service and atmosphere are great. I especially liked the blues band that was playing the night i stopped in.

The place was kind of a dive when it was Mavs. Fun but a dive. Bare minimum bar food. Man has that changed. They've got a full menu loaded with good stuff. You can't go wrong with anything you order. Mixed drinks and a freshly made chicken sandwich with fries 🧑🏼🍳👄👌🏼
Shout out to Tanner for the service. On top of it 💪

Best Mac n cheese in western Wisconsin. Made to order $4
We were a random 15ish top, and this team handled our randomness so well. Our sever/waitress was wonderful, and the food here is so good! We will be back if in this area again. Seriously, thank you for the hospitality!! You all are awesome!!

Stopped in for a beer on a cold midweek March night. Not much happening in town, so it was a little slow. The owners have created a great spot to hang out and enjoy a beer or a meal. They have spots with typical bar tables, as well as comfortable chairs for a more casual setting. There is additional seating on the other side of the bar. They must have live music some nights as there is a stage and sound system set up and ready to go. We'll be back for dinner and music.

I went to Tarnation Saturday night to catch the Ghosts of Mississippi show. It was a nice fall-like evening in August so the patio door was wide open and it was so comfortable all night!! As the band started the place filled up!!! So much so that I had the closest seat to he stage that suddenly I couldn't see it because of all the people, but they were having fun. I didn't check it out but there was a whole other bar on the north side of the digs, which seemed to be a little quieter. I liked that the ladies room was right there across from the east end of the bar. Parking is easy as they're on the corner so you can park on either side of Main St or whichever street is on the north side of the building. I liked that as I sat there I saw a local business owner from down the street came in... for dinner. I said: you have food. He replied how he gets enough of his own so he comes here. When I was ordering I asked my server if she'd opt for the Smashed Burger or Korean BBQ Chicken? She said "we're known for our chicken." She wasn't wrong... it was delicious!! The first few bites were a little salty...soy sauce-esque but then it got better...way better! It didn't come with a side and while I debated if I would finish the sandwich or not, I was glad it didn't, nor that I opted to add one. I appreciated that a fellow I was sitting with made the comment she hadn't been back and he was ready for another drink, he looked to the bar. Made the comment she was behind the bar and he didn't get upset, walked up to the bar to get his drink. We all realized... she's covering both sides of the bar and the restaurant; definitely can't get upset for her not popping back over, she did an excellent job all night! The bathroom is big enough and there's only two stalls. So don't be like one self important woman last night who made a lengthy phone call while in the handicap stall....leaving dozens of women to use one stall. Tarnation has it all... great food, attentive & friendly service, great acoustics for live music, easy parking and a very comfortable atmosphere, there was even a sofa near the table in front of the patio door. I'm looking forward to my next meal and hopefully catching another gig here, thanks Tarnation Tavern for a fun and delicious Saturday night!!

Nestled in the heart of River Falls, Tarnation Tavern is a hidden gem that offers an unforgettable dining experience. On my recent visit, I indulged in their Fried Bologna Sandwich, a delightful combination of shaved fried bologna topped with caramelized onions and white cheddar cheese, all served on griddled garlic sourdough with a perfect blend of stone-ground mustard and mayo. Each bite was a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, making it an instant favorite.
My fiancé opted for the Street Dawg, a hot dog wrapped in crispy bacon and smothered in creamy cheese sauce, fresh grilled peppers, onions, jalapeños, and a zesty sriracha aioli. This creation was a flavor explosion and quickly became her top choice.
Both dishes showcased the tavern’s commitment to quality and creativity. Complementing the outstanding food was the exceptional service that made our visit even more enjoyable. We can't wait to return and savor more of their delicious offerings. If you find yourself in River Falls, Tarnation Tavern is a must-visit for a fantastic culinary experience.
