Recently had Tanners on a Thursday night, bar was fairly packed. We had 3 in our party and grabbed a table off to the side. We looked over the menu and our waitress came out and took our drink orders. We ordered a turkey wrap, chicken lips and some other sandwhich. The chicken lips were boring, nothing special liked the menu portrays them to be.... I really want to like Tanners however I can't stand the crappy food. Last time I visited i had a chicken parmesan and it wasn't all that great either. Guess I will stick with Cheeseburger in Paradise, Claddagh Irish Pub, or TGI Fridays if i want something even half decent....
Review Source:I've gone here numerous times with co workers for beers after work. The service and food is generally good, but it always seems like there's a trivia contest going on. The trivia host guy's PA system is very loud, which makes it difficult to have a conversation across a table. Maybe just try to avoid trivia nights if you aren't into that kind of thing.
Review Source:Do not bother, really...the food is average, the service simply sucks. I was there on Saturday 10/8 around 8:30 PM, we waited for about 20 minutes while the servers simply ignored us despite us trying to get their attention, especially a short blond waitress which refused to tell me her name, even though she served the table next to ours.... We had to get up and request services, got the food without utensils, they forgot the appetizer as well.
Go somewhere where customers are valued.
UPDATE:
The manager contacted me , his response shows super quality on his behalf, no doubt he really cares about the place, I am impressed. I hope to see more managers like this around.
just wow!
I'm starting to warm-up to Tanner's. Â I've returned several times for lunch meetings and a few after-hours events, and am happy to report that Tanner's has been getting better.
The service is still quite spotty; your experience will vary tremendously based upon which server you end up with. Â Some are really great, others not so much.
The food has been steadily improving; I've come to enjoy the drummies (meaty, flavorful, and reasonably priced), the tots (always crunchy and delicious) and "The Eggy" - a breakfast sandwich that consists of a fried egg, a meat (bacon, ham, or sausage option), a cheese (tons of options) and toast (white, wheat or rye).
So... while they're not quite over the hump, they're improving. Â I'll keep investigating. Â :-) Â Now if they could get some consistent servers, they might land a 4-star review.
Oh - I should also add that they have a decent brew selection - better than it used to be, and the happy hour prices are quite reasonable.
My husband and I have been here a couple of times now. Â The main thing that keeps bringing us back is that he loves their chicken drummies. Â They're a good size and have good flavor. Â You also get a lot for the price. Â I have had a burger here and the wings and I enjoyed both. Â I liked that the wings weren't overcooked and small like they are at Quaker Steak or Bdubs. Â Another draw for us - tater tots! Â They have been perfectly cooked both times that we have had them.
The downside to this place is the service. Â There is no other word for the service (or lack of) other than awful. Â The second time we tried eating here, we literally sat at our table for 15 minutes while two servers repeatedly walked by us and ignored us. Â We left after 15 minutes since we were tired of waiting. Â Other than that, service is typically slow. Â You wait forever to get a second beverage, and that's if they haven't brought you the wrong beverage in the first place.
I think this place would do a lot better if there were better service. Â We'll keep going since we like the wings, drummies, and tots so much, but if their quality goes, we'll stop going, too.
I like to come here for drinks every so often. It is never really too busy, and I see what people say about the slow service. Most tables don't see well taken care of that I have observed; I also choose to sit at the bar, so have not experienced the table service myself. The food is not something that brings me in. I have tried different things, and I would only recommend the chicken enchilada soup. Grilled cheese, egg sandwich, reuben, tots...no good. I have had 3 bloody marys there (made by different people) so far and only liked one. They are $4 on Sundays, aren't "loaded" at all though
Review Source:Have been to this place several times now. I think I like it more and more. They really have good food. Lots of choices, all has been very tasty and good portions. Service has been good too. Its definitely a sports bar - lots of TV and a bit noisy if a game is on - but the food rocks and there are so many TVs that it has to be a go-to place for games. Looking forward to the next visit.
Review Source:stopped in here after a badger bball game for dinner. the place was quite empty which was surprising. they had specials on food and beer so i would have thought it would attract a good crowd. not from this area so maybe the location was the issue?
anyway, service was good and the food served its purpose. worth a shot if you are nearby.
Got a response to my previous review on Tanners from the manager! This was a first for me since I have been yelping!!.More should read reviews and do likewise..He had a reasonable explanation for the Bud Light price[it was a special for theUW vs Nebraska game only,and price was not programmed into computer so bartender guessed] He took blame for not pricing and alerting employees...Also received a $5 gift card.
Review Source:Tanner's is a one-and-done for us. Although it's been hard to get a business in here for the long haul, including two iterations of Italian-style restaurants, Tanner's 'redo' of the space is a complete disaster. Â It looks like the Northwoods or Backwoods, and not in a charming been-here-forever kind of way. It looks cheap and haphazardly put together, but there are dozens of TVs big and small to watch various sports. Â Add an uninspired menu, and I don't think we'll be back.
Review Source:Bored, I decided to give this one a try. In retrospect, I should have stayed bored. Tanner's is a Midwestern chain of sports bars. In fact, I was at one a few years ago in Overland Park, KS. I don't remember how it was, so this review is based solely on this location.
The decor is sports bar, the walls are decorated with Badger paraphernalia, there are a couple of big screen televisions, and the classic, not as young as she wants you to think, bleach blonde bartender with bad skin, is working the bar.
Can they screw up a Fat Tire? No, they can't and if all I did was drink, the review would be higher in the stars category. However, I made the mistake of ordering something to eat. I ordered Chicken Lips, which is Tanner's take on chicken fingers. Tanner's version is bland, tasteless, not greasy, but rather kind of sinewy and dry. The sweet potato fries were soggy, not crisp and again, bland.
It is odd to me that such a bar would set itself up across the shopping plaza from TGI Friday's, offer relatively the same bar food and yet prepare it worse makes no sense to me. Maybe the business formula of putting a sports bar in a corporate park, surrounded by a few corporate motels and hoping the deuche bag creepy business travelers will flock to your door to sit around make small talk with the bar maid and spend their expense account on beer is the one they presented to the bank. I guess we will wait to see how long this one lasts and who the next tenant at Greenway Station will be.
