Tanner's Bar and Grill

I normally like sports bars, but Tanner's is far from my favorite. The hamburgers, wings, and "chicken lips" (chicken tenders) are mediocre. The only decent thing I have had on the menu is loaded chili cheese fries.

Their "specials" on beer/drinks are nothing to write home about, unless you call a $4 12 bud light a deal.

The service every time I have been there is terrible. Three or four different waitresses have been outright rude, including a manager who was off duty, playing drinking games in the bar as she was supposedly writing the schedule. She had the time off book and other papers on our table, and was talking to other waitresses about scheduling issues basically right on top of us, to where we couldn't carry on our own conversation.

First our waitress breezed by, barely stopping, and asked if we needed anything. The two people facing her said no, so she moved on. One of the people across the table, not facing her, had no chance to respond, so he asked the next waitress who walked by to have our waitress come back. She not only huffed and puffed and rolled her eyes, but came back and said "you SAID you didn't want anything." After he ordered his drink, she went up the off duty manager and relayed the whole story, within earshot, making us out to be the problem. Not only did the manager not come apologize to us for this ridiculous behavior, she too started talking about us and rolling her eyes.

The only good thing I have to say about this place is that it is walking distance of my apartment, and that is the ONLY reason I would ever return.

My husband, 2 friends and I went to Tanners to watch a college game. We got there before the game and the place was barely half full. We sat ourselves. No one ever came by to ackowledge us. We flagged 3 different waitresses and they said just a minute, yet no one came. My husband called Austin's while we waited, asked if they'd save a table for 6, put in an order for appitizers and we'd be there in 10 min. They gladly said they would. Finally a waitress brought 2 glasses of water and 2 menus over for 4 people. We said, sorry we're leaving and headed to Austin's where we were treated wonderfully with great food.

Filet special was delicious! Great atmosphere. Good service. Great drinks. Table of 5 had nightly steak special. Got food fast. Easy to find. Very relaxed place.
