201 Tavern Grill - Anoka

I used to enjoy 201 Tavern for years, but I am disappointed to see how the customer service has declined recently. I will be avoiding this restaurant in the future. As someone from a time when it was considered unacceptable for a server to chat with friends instead of attending to customers, I was frustrated to wait over 20 minutes for my order to be taken while the server conversed with two separate friend groups outside the restaurant. When I tried to address the issue, I received a dismissive response and no apology. By the time I decided not to place an order as the kitchen was closing soon, I realized my frustrations were not acknowledged, making me feel like this behavior was acceptable. Ignoring customers in favor of chatting with friends is poor business practice.

I decided to take my sister out for lunch and we both had a great experience at 201 Tavern. I ordered the chicken bacon ranch wrap, which had perfect portions of ingredients and was wrapped in a soft, fresh tortilla. The onion rings were also excellent. The staff was very welcoming and the air conditioning was a relief from the hot summer days. Overall, I was completely satisfied with our visit to 201 Tavern. Yay!

I love my quest for finding the perfect Ruben sandwich, so I order it at most restaurants I go to for lunch. 201 Tavern has the closest thing I've tasted. Luckily I work only a block away, so I have eaten it often. Side that with their Tavern Chips, and you can't go wrong. Great sandwich and cordial, attentive staff. Highly recommend!

I really like the atmosphere here and the way the interior was set up. It looks a lot nicer than most little bar/restaurants. The coolest part is the glass in the back that shows the outside and the stairs. Gives it a look that you don't see in basically any other place. The service is good. Nothing special but it gets the job done. The food (as usual for me at these types of places) is average. Actually.. Oddly enough the chicken tenders weren't even that good. I would recommend not spending too much here unless you are into the kind of bar food they have. On a plus, they have pull tabs!

Very busy on bingo night. Our young male waiter was very attentive. Wings were good. Bingo was great. Very convenient parking.
