Awesome local restaurant, and fantastic staff who served us with a smile and no problems with the fact that we came in 30 minutes before the kitchen closed. We really appreciate it being able to get such tasty food late at night!
We ordered off of the seasonal menu. The jambalaya was particularly good, with great flavor. The burger was good; the fries were undercooked, at least on the day we were there. Ambiance was a very typical sports bar, so something like jambalaya was a really nice surprise for me, and while the burger meal kind of fell flat that day, service was good, and I'd be willing to try this place again.
OH MY GOD.Danica, my waitress, was the absolute most fun and amazing waitress ever. Don’t get me wrong, I have only had great service at the trail stop tavern, but this woman went above and beyond to make me and my friends experience the best. We were probably her last table of the night and She was the one that made our night end special. Not only was she fun, she catered to our every last request even when it was 10 minutes to bar close. We walked away not only having a great experience, but feeling like I made a friend in the process, I will never not ask for Danica!
I had biscuits and gravy for the weekend brunch which came with 2 eggs and hash browns... it was delicious and under $11!The owner also generously bought a round of drinks for the bar, bringing my order of 6 drinks and 2 brunch entrees to only $53.The service was excellent, the regulars great company, delicious food and friendly atmosphere.I'll definitely be coming again!
Trail Stop is definitely going on the list of monthly visits. Maybe even more often. Everyone loved the food and service.
Trail Stop Tavern was a big surprise when my buddy and I went there on kinda a whim (we were both driving in that area) on a sleepy Sunday night. Both of us needed a break after a long weekend, and also needed just a casual, laid-back kind of relaxing place on this night.Trail Stop was a perfect choice for this! It was a Tuesday night, and we expected the place to be deserted, wow were we surprised! The inside bar/restaurant was jammed, and the country music was blasting. It had a great and relaxing "vibe", though "maybe" the country music might have been a "bit" too loud for my tastes (not much of a country western guy, right?).The menu was simple bar fare, and the beer n(served in enormous 20 oz sizes) was cold and reasonably priced. We were absolutely shocked to discover that Trail Stop is open till 1 am on some nights, and even 2 am on other nights (check their schedule first). WOW, we've gotten so used to bars closing at 9 PM or maybe 10 PM during the COVID times, but not at Trail Stop. No masks were seen in the entire establishment.We had two recommended apps with our beers - the Wisconsin deep fried cheese curds served with a wonderful jelly, and the deep fried pickles. The pickles were FANTASTIC, and came crunchy and salty and perfect with the beers. Same for the curds - golden brown and perfectly fried. No calories in either of them, too! haha, yeah right, JUST kidding.The interior is casual, with a large center bar, and high tops all around. The ceiling was a surprise to me too - it was an old tin ceiling tiles. Really fun interior. But again, casual!Our server and the hostess were very attentive, and helpful to us noobies. Their recommendations were spot on perfect. The beer selection is a bit "simple" for our old-age tastes, we would like to have seen a decent porter and a couple more tap lines for a few more options, but meh, the beer was cold, and that was good enough for me.High marks for the casual atmosphere, easy access to Highway 3 in Eagan, large parking lot, simple but decent menu, and great staff. We'll be back to Trail Stop! Especially if they turn down the Willie Nelson!
The menu is extensive. I met a group of friends there, we each ordered something different- I had the steak with a side of fries and broccoli. The steak wasn’t anything I’d write home about, fries were standard.The atmosphere was very lively and busy for a Wednesday night.
Wish they delivered - that's the only reason for the 4 stars. They have GREAT burgers! I also really enjoy their patio in the summer months, and pull tabs of course.
Absolutely delicious food. The menu is unique and creative. The server suggested the Baja burrito and it was super. We will be back to try other things. The atmosphere was fun and sporty. Great place to try if you're in the area.
