What a neat little place. Very friendly servers, and a neat interior. It was probably one of the best chicken tenders I have ever eaten and it was quick to come out. Fries were homemade and tasty not to mention this bang bang sauce! Well worth the visit.
Overall I'd give this 3.5 if possible. Can't say much about the inside, we walked through to get to the back deck, and it seemed somewhat "bland" compared to the cool exterior. We enjoyed eating on the back deck. The service was spotty--fast at times, and then it seemed we'd wait for a while. Since their smoked pork seemed to be featured in half the dishes (okay that's an exaggeration, but it is everywhere on the menu) I decided to try a sandwich. And it was very good--perhaps not the best pork I've ever had, but tasty and not dry (as some smoked items can be). Our drinks were good, but nothing particularly exciting. Overall, a good tavern, we'll likely go back.
Showed up 35 minutes until 2am. I get it we were late but the Bartender said he will not be able to serve us. We just wanted one and go. He had people come up left and right. I understand he is busy. My partner and I have been in the industry for 8+ years, we understand. But helping people coming in from outside who have been drinking who are drunk vs helping someone who just showed up, for one is not great customer service. We got passed over a few times before he even said that to us. Place wasn’t that busy. He clearly needed help and if he was alone that is not ideal. I get things happen but the way he reacted to new guests is not the greatest. Did not feel like a welcoming place or somewhere I would like to go again.
Good food and definitely a local bar with character with bar food to match. Service was good, but hope the owners don’t force the dress code that appears to be in place.
We got take out but the food was good and timely. Ithey had a great selection and the fries were awesome. Loved the cheesy brussel sprouts with bacon.
Great food and service! Go there!
Nice atmosphereBig portions especially the Texas NachosIt's little bit dark insideGood serviceVariety of beers and drinks
Great outdoor patio with delicious summer drinks.
First but definitely not the last time we'll check this place out. I've driven by this many times and today we finally decided to give it a shot. Our party of four were all happy with their meals. The complaints concerning the pricing aren't warranted in my opinion. I'm more than happy to pay a bit more for quality food and it was worth it in my opinion. Our waitress was great as well.
'Old world Eagan' haunt, from before the suburbanites descended with their snap-together malls and dime-a-dozen fusion bistro cashcows— A place where actual locals hang out. Fried food, domestic beers, 80s and 90s music, fish & chips. Clean and friendly, with a reasonably sizable deck in the back for outside dining (12 tops, maybe?)The food was par, and not spectacular. I WILL come back to Yankee Tavern for drinks and appetizers and its comfortable atmosphere, (the low-lit cozy lamps in the booths are nice) but not for its unspectacular entrees. ?
