Tavern Americana

Awesome food, awesome service. Definitely worth another visit. So close to my new home. Great place for friends and gathering.

Went here for the first time with some family. The servers and host were polite. Staff was really attentive and not pushy at all. The place was very quaint, and comfy. The food came in a timely manner and it was pretty tasty. It was more on the expensive side but it was good. I noticed they have herbs growing outside which I thought was cool.
I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with fries. I loved the havarti and apple slaw on it but the pork itself was dry. They have a decent alcohol selection. I didn’t try any desert but I would surely go back again to do so.

Great place for a quick meal after a looonnng day traveling. Friendly and competent staff

Not as good as our previous visit last year. You can find better for less elsewhere. I had ribs and they were ok (better at Longhorn) but the finger wipes were pathetic. My wife had the patty melt but again not anything special. The service was good but again nothing special. This is a shame as we really enjoyed our visit last year.

Great atmosphere and enjoyed the outdoor seating. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We ordered off the happy hour menu and it was good. Nothing exceptional but the atmosphere and the outdoor seating made it

The new menu is a needed improvement. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and it was excellent. Service was excellent as usual. Leah is the best and is always friendly. Matt is the best mixologist in town. Would love to see some chocolate cake on the desert menu.

Perfect… Ambiance, food, wait staff. We came because the restaurant we wanted to go to had their ovens down. Now we will make this spot a first choice.

I love this place. The atmosphere is open and airy. Never too crowded. Nice clientele. Every dish coming from the kitchen looks delicious. I can attest that the grilled steak and grilled chicken is some of the best I’ve ever had. One of my top 10 favorite salads is the Grilled Niman Ranch Steak Salad. The steak is always an excellent grill at a good medium. Piled high are arugula, parmigiano cheese, pickled red onion, tomato, and balsamic dressing. I CRAVE THIS SALAD. The only reason I am rating this 4 stars is due to the service. It’s hit or miss but even at that, it sucks. There always seems to be manager doing paperwork near the front door so it’s surprising even to me that this is a continuous problem. I won’t get started because Unilocal will not give me enough to room to finish my thoughts. Give this place a try but have patience because the food is truly worth it.

About as advertised. Great beer list. Mediocre food. Mediocre service. Open and noisy like … A tavern. Go figure. Decent selection of TVs to watch the games.
If you and some buddies wanna grab a beer or two then this is a great choice. For lunch maybe okay too. Dinner… meh.

Loved the Fish & Chips here. Service was very good too.

From the fresh and absolutely delicious food, to the great service, this place is definitely the neighborhood hangout! We have fun watching all the games here, and are obsessed with the amazing wings, plus the green chili pork is perfectly spicy and yummy:)

Pretty excellent burgers and decent beer on tap. Nice place… upscale but still casual. Great lunch spot.

There are so many different things that can make a restaurant special. Sometimes it’s the food, sometimes it’s the service, still other times, it’s the ambiance.
In this case, while it’s true the food was wonderful, swiftly delivered and the wooden tables and comfortable benches were welcoming, the best part was the horrific date that unfolded in front of us.
If you want more detail on the food, it’s sprinkled throughout the review.
Ok, so this really pretty girl came in, dressed to the nines — hair, makeup, shoes, dress, all perfect. Her «date» was older than she, wearing a wrinkled t-​shirt, a baseball cap, and jeans.
No big, hey, fashion, etc., who am I to judge?
Well, he went directly to his phone and started doing something, we couldn’t tell what, but he utterly ignored the girl in front of him. She waited politely, didn’t pull out her phone, but just sat there expectantly, figuring (at least I think) that he’d be done soon. He wasn’t and our appetizers arrived.
The calimari /​zucchini was awesome and flaky with zesty sauce. Definitely worth it.
We started eating and noticed that the girl had moved around from the far side of the table so that she could join him in whatever he was doing.
At this point, he called someone, grabbed his hat, and left. She moved back over to her side of the table, waited about 5 minutes while I enjoyed the taco sampler (the fish taco was amazing, the other ones tasty but so spicy my wussy self couldn’t finish them), then pulled out her phone.
She briefly tapped at it, then put it away.
Their appetizers arrived, and she looked around to see where her date had gone, but he was nowhere to be seen. After waiting another 5 minutes, she started to pick at them until she was eating in earnest. Apparently the wings were really good.
Our entrees arrived and my pastrami sandwich was wonderful. My 8-​year-​old daughter got the chicken strips and said they were UH-​MAY-​ZING so I guess they were pretty good too.
We ordered the cookie with ice cream and that’s when the couple’s entrees arrived.
This poor girl sat alone at a table with four large platters of food, no date in sight, glancing around every 10 seconds, just wanting someone to save her.
My daughter and I finished the cookie which was also UH-​MAY-​ZING (seriously, best I’ve had — chocolate chip in a skillet) and asked for the check.
Still no guy.
Paid the check.
Still no guy.
Left.
Still no guy.
For all I know, she’s there still, waiting on some guy to come back to the table to eat cold food and receive an even colder gaze.
I decided to use the whole thing as an object lesson and asked my daughter what she would have done.
She said she would have left, because he clearly didn’t like that girl enough.
I told her that she was close — first, eat, then leave.
Because the food is amazing.

Ask & ye shall receive! I gave the bartender Matt ordering privileges for my dinner & he delivered with a the Diablo Chicken Pasta — make sure to get it with an agua back compadres — this one is ¡muy caliente

I want to say our bartender was kind of inattentive, but then I realized… the entire time this guy was working he was going 100mph. This guy was running everywhere. Bartender ⁵⁄₅ Restaurant 3.5÷10
Solid food, great beer selection.

Tavern Americana delivers what it promises nearly flawlessly. To start with, Tavern Americana is exactly as the name implies — a tavern-​like setting serving American tavern-​like food. There is a bar and a bar eating area with high-​top tables, and an adjacent standard dining area with booths and tables. Both are noisy, but not so bad that you can’t have a conversation. Everything is new and perfectly clean. The service is prompt, friendly, and attentive to just the right degree. The prices are surprisingly moderate.
And the food is spot on — at least what we tasted, which included a flavorful pizza, a salad, and a burger (good, but the least successful of the lot due to under-​seasoning).
But it is the «little» things which differentiate Tavern Americana from the crowd. For example, the beer was properly chilled and poured correctly (just the right head). For example, when we ordered a half salad and split that, they brought it in two bowls with a separate dressing cup for each. And, I didn’t have to ask for ketchup (home-​made I believe).
Hint: We went on a Wednesday evening and it was full but not overflowing. Reservations are a good idea any day of the week.

Stopped in for a late lunch on afternoon. Brought the kiddo. The place was empty save for a few bar flies. The Mac and cheese for the kiddo was amazing. He loved and and so did we. The pizza while good intentioned was below average. The quality of the toppings was low. Especially the pepperoni. It’s weird to spend so much money on décor and ambiance and than try to save pennies on cheap pepperoni. No one comes back for pepperoni that curls up. Cmon. Had a couple other dishes and everything was just ho-​Hum. The server/​bartender was friendly and accommodating.
An awkward interaction was happening right at the front door for a while between their chef and a manager. Deft a conversation to have in the back out of earshot of the guests. They have to figure some things out for sure. Make decisions that benefit and improve the guests experience. Focus on making dollars not saving pennies.

Great Happy hour! Above the norm typical happy hour bar food: The green chili pork was amazing — so tender with just the right amount of spice! We also ordered a delish vegetarian pizza with roasted corn, mushrooms, red peppers, and more. Typically happy hour pizza’s are small and just barely enough for one person, but this pizza was huge — actually took it home and had it for lunch the next day. The serving sizes are really generous — especially for happy hour — such a rarity!
Service was great — server was personable and quick. The dining room is loud… extremely loud. They have hardwood floors and open ceilings, so nothing to absorb the sound. Thinking once summer is over and they open the patio doors it will be at a more acceptable level. So keep in mind if you don’t want to shout across the table!
Can’t wait to come back and try the gnocchi — which I hear is amazing!

Holly was very nice, knew what to recommend and was very attentive.
The drinks were phenomenal: Maker’s Mark Manhattan, The Western Rye to die for.
Try the Chipotle, it’s a must. Loved the Yukon Gold Gnocchi and Salmon Filet get 5 stars.
Will definitely go back.

Overall rating: 3.5 Stars
In short, the food was good but compared to other restaurants in the area, it could be better.
I came here on a business lunch with co-​workers. When we arrived, there were only one or two other tables with customers and the place seemed pretty dead. Not sure if it was because we were here around 11:30am and the lunch rush hadn’t picked up or what. This worked in our favor since our waiter was very attentive and the service was fast and efficient.
I liked the inside as it was very open and had plenty of seating. There was a lot of wood, which looked nice. It reminded me of an upscale tavern, which is what I was expecting. Even the bathroom was nicely decorated and had ample room in the stalls.
For lunch, my boss ordered the Diablo Chicken Pasta, which had a very spicy and creamy sauce with chicken and bacon. He said it was very good and it looked delicious. Another co-​worker ordered a Green Monster burger and I ordered the Western burger. I normally enjoy a medium-​rare burger, but since I’ve never ordered a burger from this place previously and had no idea how they cook their burgers, I went with medium. My co-​worker risked it and went medium-​rare. When our burgers arrived, both were cooked about the same. (Mainly medium, leaning a little towards medium-​rare. The burger itself was flavorful and the fries were pretty good.
By the time we finished our meal, only one other table filled up and this was an elderly couple. It was crazy to see a place so dead during a weekday at lunchtime.
Overall, while the food was good, I don’t know if I’d come back. I say this only because it is located in a shopping plaza with several other restaurants that I really love. Thus, if I was in the area, I would choose those restaurants first. However, their happy hour does look pretty good and I might give it another chance.

Solid food and service. I like that they use all locally grown products.
We came on a weekday and it wasn’t that busy at all. I assume it gets way more hectic at night. The outdoor seating was pleasant. My only complaint is that the food took awhile to come out, but the quality was good.
