Border Bar & Grill

Don't bother if you like food and want to drink beer without receiving a bartender with an attitude and the worst food I've ever eaten at a restaurant.

This trip we didn't even bother with any food because the last time we had eaten there all of us (5 people) got violently ill after eating their hamburger which were overcooked and disgusting.  

We wanted some light tap beer, which they didn't have, so we ordered a pitcher of each of the only two beers they had on tap.  The bartender acted like we were asking for something difficult and was sighing the entire time she was filling the pitchers.  She then gave us our beer, took our money and turned around.  When we asked her for some glasses for the beer (since we didn't want to all take turns drinking from the pitcher) she freaked out and acted like it was the biggest request she had ever taken.  She slammed our glasses down on the counter with the tops down so they all got covered in whatever slime was on the bar.  So rude.  She then proceeded to glare at our table the whole rest of the time we were drinking our beer.  

Needless to say we won't be returning to this bar ever again.

Haven't been here in years. The dollar bills are no longer on the ceiling and it's not quite the biker bar it used to be. Had a great bloody and bartender was super friendly. What's not to like when in Taylor's Falls...?

Third visit to Border Bar and next time will try Romayne's right across the street instead. First time was a few years back when folks used to write a little note on a dollar bill and stick it to the ceiling. It was fun reading them....at least until your neck got sore from looking up. There were notes from travelers all over the country. Don't know what happened, but the dollars are gone now and it's a plain old ceiling.  I'd read a review saying this was one of the best burger places around and since I love a good burger, thought I'd give it a try. It was good. Not out of your mind crazy good, but good. My family and I had driven up from Minneapolis to enjoy the autumn weather at Taylor's Falls, so this place wasn't out of the way and it's right across from the state park. Second time was in the winter and again, good, but not knock your socks off great. Third time was this Memorial Day weekend and for the third time I ordered a burger. This time it was not so great at all. Dry, and crunchy on the outside, overdone. I'd ordered a California burger, but couldn't even taste the mayo. My husband ordered a big burger but it only covered half the bun, literally. All that and we never got our fries. The waitress told him 3 times it didn't get on the order, in spite of the fact they'd had a discussion around what size basket and she had read the whole order back to him. We had already spent an hour in the place and were on our way to Stillwater. The only redeeming trait was the music on the jukebox, which was blaring some old school rock and roll. Maybe they were just too busy, but like I said...........next time Romayne's.
