Such a comfortable and welcoming environment. Good wait staff and food was delish
Food was very good, great selection of craft and domestic beers! Delicious holiday themed cocktails! The best part was Maggie, our waitress, super friendly, prompt and smart!!
This was our first time here and I must say I was very disappointed. I ordered the ribs, they were so dry and tough, I didn’t even like the way they smelled when the plate was delivered . If your looking for fall off the bone ribs this is not it. All the prices have changed from what is displayed on the menu. A 12oz ribeye is 24$. I would not mind if it is a good quality piece of meat but it was a cheap cut of meat. Although their Mac and cheese was very good. We also had a wonderful waitress. But the food was very disappointing it was awful, terrible. That’s my opinion and I would never go back. I do appreciate the manager telling me she was sorry to hear that.
These guys borrowed $20,000 from me, didn’t pay me a nickel for 10 years, all the sudden they have enough money to open a bar, they made some payments refused to pay interest, I’m not a bank, if it would’ve been a year no interest, 8% interest is not unreasonable. I wouldn’t trust a thing they say, if they say the meet his choice it’s probably utility
The staff here was incredibly friendly; the service is great, informed, efficient, and very warm. Tons of beers on tap from all over makes for a varied and satisfying menu. I had the Ruben which was excellent, as were the fries. Others in the party had the hand-battered shrimp which was a hit, as were the house burger, pickle fries, and patty melt.
Do not be fooled by the pictures and other reviews. They do not have a brunch! They open everyday at 3pm. Only serve lunch or dinner.
Had lunch with my daughter and was impressed. Food was reasonable and good.wide open bar . enjoyed the time I spent their.
Nice atmosphere, great service and the food was excellent! Try the fried pickles they are awesome!
Great food , great atmosphere, great staff. Love this place.
Great food and prices, service was top notch and a almost perfect beer selection with 40 drafts, will be back again before the week is out
Was good. Service was fairly quick.
We are looking for more places to visit for our dinners out, spread the wealth so to speak. Last Wednesday was our first visit. This is more of a 3 1/2 than a 4, but good food adds value.Clean, and good sound level to be able to have a conversation. Things started really rough with what appeared to be a maybe new waitress? That or she just isnt efficient yet. I know these are tough times for many servers and eateries, thats why we are trying to patronize various places instead of our old routine like Cliff and Norm.I have a few simple rules for eating out:-Acknowledged upon sitting. Great job.-Drink time. This was an eternity for the first. From someone coming to take the order to filling it, was long enough we almost left (for the first time) Did improve tremendously for remaining time.-Time to take main meal order. Awful. We almost left (2nd time) after the appetizer because the waitress made us wait while she had to drop off one more thing. We sat and watched as she did everything but take our order, including get other tables their food, bus a table and take another order! Knowing how quickly food comes now Ill be less anxious if that happens here again. It was late dinner for us and we were hungry.-Time to receive order. WOW! Faster than fast food.-Time to receive bill/return with change. Slow. Again, waitress was doing many other things. We still tip 20% plus for benefit of the doubt on first visit.The appetizer and meal both came extremely fast when we did order. Glad we stayed. And we will be back to try again and venture into higher value menu items, as I suspect they are delicious looking at a other diners plate go by. We just tried potato skins, a burger and Reuben to test the waters. You can tell a lot about a place by those 3 items. Very good. Really liked the potatoes cut width wise instead of lengthwise for the skins. Cooked perfectly.Prices are very fair, food is good. Nice to get a bun or bread toasted just enough to make it crisp, but not so hard it destroys the roof of your mouth. These folks appear to like to serve good food and enjoy it.
Great delicious food, owner a really wonderful professional upstanding individual, am truly honored to have a regular place for our family. Welcome to the neighborhood 😉. We love everything on the menu. Staff is friendly and respectful every time we are in there, never a bad experience. We go at least once a week !! drink cocktails and beer are not only refreshing but a taste for every season or any mood.. delightful variety ..thank you van born, happy holidays to you, from your local loyal customers on van born rd.
We placed an almost $90 order there tonight, and simple mistakes were made they forgot our two orders of onion rings and we ordered two spinach artichoke dips and they were spilt in the grocery bag, and was missing our order of pickle fries. Like I said very simple mistakes on such a large order BUT when I called up there to get my missing food and either a refund or replacement of the artichoke dip the lady that answered that phone told me I can come get the missing items but told me it wasn’t there problem about the artichoke dip. Like what...... why wouldn’t you put in a soup container or proper storage. That was $17. So when we went up there the waitress that took the order was AMAZING her name was Jess she was so apologetic and really wanted to fix the issue and did not want to lose us as customers she was the sweetest. I was ready to say never again but she changed my mind and I’m so happy because the food there is AMAZING the steak bites are phenomenal.
Had a great time. Good beer and liquor selection as well as a good food selection, decent prices and friendly staff. Ill definitely be going back.
Great place, awesome atmosphere, good food and drinks!
Friendly staff, ordered burgers as I was craving a good Bar Burger, was not disappointed. Burgers done perfectly without a lot of unnecessary condiments. Nice atmosphere, looking to do some carry out, and a return visit when restrictions are lifted.
Great experience! Atmosphere, staff, and food was great! Thank you for accommodating our softball team on such short notice! Outstanding job! Thank you!
Recently tried this place out for lunch with few friends from work. The vibe is nice, staff is friendly, our waitress was candice and she is very good at her job. Our table stayed clutter free, drinks were refilled without us asking for it, she really provided 5 star service.For the food. Excellent. The vegetables are fresh not like most places.The presentation of the food is amazing. If your in the area definitely try this place out
Great place for a bite to eat or a few drinks!
Liked it very much, great beer selection, 40 drafts and nice choices. Nice menu, fair prices and the food was excellent. Had the baby back ribs and they were very good and included a salad or soup, it had mixed vegetables and fries. The fish and chips were good too. My wife ordered a nice salad with salmon on it and that was very good also. Everybody was happy with the place, staff, food and price. We will be going back for sure.
Awesome place honestly. If you want a bar Burger this is where you go. Service was good as well. Not pushy either.
Since the Van Born Tavern opened up, weve visited at least once or twice a week. The food is SUPERIOR to any other bar weve ever been in and the service is the same! Its comfortable, clean, spacious for a small place and the menu speaks for itself. Weve tried nearly everything on the menu and its all good. There are dozens of craft beers as well as other adult beverages- many top shelf. There are drink and food specials each day and everything is made fresh! Although its a bar, they are still kid friendly and have high chairs available! The soups are amazing and the grilled veggies are crisp and tasty if you prefer to switch up a side with your meal. If you go there and are undecided about a menu item, look out because its all FABULOUS! Way better than the description! Several tvs are on so you can catch up on the latest game, they have keno and serve coffee and tea. Theres something for everyone at this tavern! Even the smokers can poke outside a patio when they want.
So heres my honest review....Its 6:45pm on a Friday night. We have a kid free night, and after him working a long work day and me doing virtual Learning with our Kindergartener, last thing either one of us wanted to do was cook. So we looked up a place for a fried fish dinner, and we stumbled upon this place and figured we give it a try. We were both very happy. Food was good, and we definitely want to dine in and experience the atmosphere in person once the whole covid thing isnt so BLAH BLAH BLAH! Looking forward to the dine in experience in the near future.
Our whole experience was cool from time we walked in until the time we left our waitress Charissa was phenomenal she recommended the best drinks and they were exactly that the food was outstanding all in all hands down well definitely be back
Service was great! Food and drinks were delicious! I love the layout and look of it inside, you dont expect it to be so big when you walk up. It was very clean and inviting inside. Zero complaints! I definitely recommend.
Took awhile to get out food , but it was good
Surprisingly lovely spot, despite the less than promising exterior. A beer list for all tastes, with emphasis on Michigan beers from all over (including a tiramisu stout from East Lansing that will call me back there).Not a wild or innovative menu, but classics done very well. Their tortilla soup, for example, is creamy and flavorful with just the right amount of balanced heat to it.Excellent service, welcoming atmosphere, and lots of parking make this a fine place to meet up with friends.
Have been to this place twice now. Once for dinner on a weekday and once for Brunch on a Sunday. Both meals were great. Had a fantastic salad and really good Salmon benedict for brunch. The salad was reasonably priced especially for including a chicken breast on it. The benedict had perfectly cooked salmon, not patties and the poached eggs were also runny. Ordered potatoes crispy and they were! They have basically everything on the menu, which usually makes me weary, but so far quality has been good. They have dozens of beers on tap. Although they have had to change the keg on all three types of beers I have ordered so far. Maybe bad timing or obscure choices. I will definitely be back and trying more things off the menu.
Their brunch is amazing steak and eggs awesome there grits need work but there ok. I wish I had someone there to drive me home because the draft beer selection is large and changes if like craft beer this is a nice place to drink.
Come here often. The food is great. Reasonable prices. The beer selection is awesome, and always changing. My only real complaint, is the total lack of burger choices on the menu.. There are only 2 variations of the same burger on the menu. One with an egg. One without.
The first time I went here I had a really off-putting experience. I went with a group of friends on a Friday evening, we arrived around 7 PM and our server was being trained - which was fine, however, she did make a ton of mistakes (bringing the wrong beer multiple times, bringing the wrong order, etc.). But the real issue for me was we were blatantly hurried out at 9 PM on a Friday, before we were ready to leave and the hours posted on the door stated they were open until 2 AM. Our server brought us our bill without asking, took plates we werent done eating, and the staff started to stack chairs. Although the food was good, it was nothing extraordinary. We got wings & saganaki to share, and I got the classic burger - which I was disappointed I couldnt get cooked medium rare :/ However, the beer selection here is awesome - and very reasonably priced. Since my first visit I returned on another Friday evening for happy hour, and had a much better experience sitting at the bar with a different server. The beer selection/value really makes going here worthwhile, but truthfully thats about it.
The place a little chilly, but the food and our waitress was awesome..
Great neighborhood pub, large selection of craft beers, excellent food (fish & chips were great), the best part was the attentive (without driving you crazy) waitress. She was very professional, made sure u were taken care of without constantly barging in. Clean restaurant clear bathroom. We were a party of 3.
This was my 4th visit (3/22/17) in the last couple months. First 3 visits were perfect. Ordered the patty melt and it was so good...it became my go to meal. So of course I ordered it the other day and it was not half as good as my other visits. Waitress said they had a new cook. 😐 But it was so off to just blame on a new cook. The burger used to cook the pattys seemed different. Not as flavorful. Other then that...Great place...*usually* great food. Always great service.
Excellent food. Comfortable atmosphere. Staff are extremely friendly and treat you like family.
The bartender was amazing. Above and beyond knowledgeable about the menu amd made awesome drinks. I think her name was Candace. She definitely helps this place be successful.
Cool little place. Does not look like much from the outside, but the inside is all new and well made. Good beer selection and nice variety for the food menu as well. Server was extremely nice and attentative. We will be back.
Better than average... Im not super blown away, but I wont hate either. Burgers are of good size and the meat is not sub par, the steak was better than I expected from a local diner, but not steak house either. They need a brazing pan or a fire grill, this was cooked on a flat top so it was oily, but they got the temp right and that is super important for me. They have a good beer menu. I will come back here again.
We came on a Tuesday night, not crowded so we got prompt service. Food was good, the burger and salads were substantial, and the fries were just the way I like them. Respectable variety of beers on tap, many of which I enjoy. I will definitely be back in the near future.
Great place to stop in for lunch or dinner. Large servings of food and a friendly staff in a nice clean atmosphere..staff is fun and friendly every time you go in, many craft beers on tap or bottles and cans. Plenty of other bar options. Nice menu with a good selection. Top notch sammies
Pros: Been several months since Ive been here, but had great service from my server Carol. She was very knowledge in the beer menu and selection, and very attentive to our needs. Clean, and friendly environment. Cons: Prices a bit high for average Coney food.
Good food, reasonable prices. Nice comfortable atmosphere. Not fancy, not a dive, clean place. Multiple tvs and weather permitting large sliding door that opens with bar height tables outside to stand at. (Probably more for smokers my guess) the do offer a kids menu I felt comfortable bringing the kids.
The service was good. Bartender made a pretty decent Bloody Mary.Their brunch was ok, which was the main reason why we went. Some of the items we ordered were overcooked, such as the beef brisket (way too dry), eggs, etc.3/5 on the brunch food
Donna put my burger in wrong, as i waited for the egg and bacon toppings i ordered for my burger, it sat on the counter on front of me for 15 minutes until my runny egg and bacon came out. She offered to take it off the bill, which I appreciated. She then proceeded to charge me 4.50$ for the onion rings that were part of my meal oh my burger cost $7 with the onion rings. Very poor service. I wont be returning to your poor staff.
Great food. Great service. 40 beers on tap. Reasonable prices. You cant ask for much more. You might ask for a little less country music, but thats not worth complaining about.
Especially loved the waitresses!!
Im a big fan of second chances. Unfortunately, this place doesnt cut it. Maybe Im ordering the wrong thing, but both times weve been Ive received undercooked fries.First visit I ordered a cheeseburger...and watched the cook melt Velveeta over it in the microwave. I ordered cheddar cheese. Second visit thought Id keep it simple with a grilled cheese. Lets just say I went home hungry. The steak bites were good, though its not enough for more than two people. Boyfriend got a pizza both times and was satisfied.I will say they have an extensive beer list, even if it is mostly IPAs. Staff is friendly and service is quick. They also have a neat patio, which is nice in the warmer months. Free WiFi too, and ample parking. If they could improve the menu/food, would be a great place!
Great tap beer selection and they have a nice menu. Club and pulled pork sandwiches I have tried and liked both. A nice hang out in Dearborn Heights to stop in for a brew and food.
Went the other day. Was told that only beer and wine were for Happy Hour! Well so much for this place. I cant drink either one. Received my drink & was told I am being charged $2 for a drink on the rocks. Totaling $6! O.k. now you lost a customer.! Your going to charge me for ice? My friend thought she had read that her sandwich came with fries...when the plate came, she asked about the fries....girl just said, You didnt ask for them? Now theres some customer service! Wont be back! Been there 4 times now and its just not there.
I would have preferred to have the burger I had the first time. I believe the house special with higher quality hamburger. The burger is now crossed off the menu with permanent marker. The service was excellent and the sideof fries portion is big.
Ive been here twice and I absolutely loved it! The food was great and the service was great! We went to eat around 10pm last night and the kitchen closed after we got our food. We didnt know the kitchen closed and my daughter wanted to order some soup, the waitress told us the kitchen had closed and we were ok. I didnt get his name but a guy from the back came to our table and asked us what it was we wanted we told him soup and brought it to us! He was super nice and so was our waitress! The food was AWESOME!! I would definitely recommend to anyone!
My husband and I went here last night Feb 29 for my Birthday, food was pretty good, I ordered the Shrimp lo mein and my husband ordered the baby back ribs, ribs were tender and a nice size portion, I wish the lo mein had noodles instead of rice but it was pretty good. NOW OUR SERVER DAWN WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! HER PERSONALTY IS UNBELIEVABLE, ONE OF THE BEST SERVERS WEVE ENCOUNTERED, DAWN KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK WE LOVE YOUR SPIRIT! DAWN MAKES YOU WANT TO COME BACK JUST TO SEE HER! THANK YOU DAWN FOR MAKING MY B-DAY EVEN MORE SPECIAL! Well definitely be back! And the owner is really nice too.
Boneless wings were not good, it was more like pieces of popcorn chicken with a drizzle of sauce over top. Way over cooked too.
My favorite spot. I stop by after work 3 times a week. Food is great and Goldie is an amazing bartender! They always make you feel welcome like youre a friend. Dee and Carol are really awesome too.
Food was good. The waitress was nice. Place was clean. We went on a Tuesday so it wasnt busy
Good food, variety of drinks and beer (craft and tap). Lots of choices on the menu floor food, great size proportions! Service was quick and friendly. Definitely coming back! Quite pleased with our visit. Be sure to stop in...
I live near to the VanBorn tavern and visit it regularly. I was highly dissatisfied when today I called an order in instead of eating in. Through the VanBorn Tavern website, their menu clearly showed 20 wings for 13.99. When I called to order the girl gave me the total for $19 and I said on the website it says 13.99. She asked me if I was looking at the right menu... Im wondering if she was. I went to pick up my food and asked them to grant me the price shown on the menu which is 13.99. The owner, I believe his name is Nick, said he would not. The reason he said is because someone was supposed to have changed that on their website already but hasnt. They want to charge the customer more money for their staffs negligence to update their online menu. The bartender is a phenomenal bartender and great at customer service and she tried her best to help me because she knows my family regulars here. After paying 25% more than advertised I asked to speak to the owner to ask him respectfully to get this changed. He declined speaking to me after asking politely twice. Being a small business owner for 7 years I know this is no way to treat a customer. Youve now lost my future business for a one time upcharge. I wont be going back or recommending your establishment. If the customer comes first, Id hate to imagine how you treat your staff.
Beer is average variety. Food is just so-so. Dessert menu is less than adequate. Who offers just chocolate cake? Yeah thats all they had Saturday night. Husband likes it there. Id rather go elsewhere.
Loved our server! Food and drinks were awesome!
Great Michigan craft beer on tap and food was delicious. Prices on both are excellent with plenty of specials. I will be back regularly most definitely
Love the food and servers but they need to practice more covid 19 procedures! Also the cooks need to wear hair nets because Im tired of finding hair in my food!
Good place to eat. Friendly fast service.
Great food. Great service. The beer list is great for a local bar.Jessica makes strange and delicious drinks at the bar and keeps the weirdos at bay. You cant go wrong here unless youre local weirdo.
Have been ordering carry out from here since they opened all with good experiences. Decided to try the pizza this evening and to my surprise we were very disappointed. Pizza was very very salty. Would never order it again. I guess stick to what you know is the key here. Wish it would have been a better experience.
Good drinks and decent food. Doing a great job and following covid requirements. Sandwiches and burgers were good, pizza was so/so
Great restaurant/bar. Best in the area. Food is good and drinks are better. My girl Dee is the best. Service with a smile. Love her ❤️
Food here was fantastic service was immediate and the bartender was great!!
Poor service. We arrived, we were seated and asked our drink order. My friend asked for a Dirty Blonde I asked for M43. The waitress checked to see if they had M43 came back and told me no so I asked for a water. She promptly brought back a water and never brought the Dirty Blonde or came back for our order. We saw her talking to different customers, go back and talk to the bartender (we thought she was grabbing the beer then, but nope, just talking to the bartender) and so after 15 min we left. What made this worse is we have gone many times there before our bowling league and so it was frustrating to say the least. :(
Always want to support the local guy. Staff was friendly, place was clean, a little disappointed that the specials on the LED sign out front were not availability when we got inside. Only available until 6pm. Not a huge deal, just wish that was clearer. Ended up having fish and chips and they were delicious.
Dawn Marie is great. She was very attentive is what we wanted. She has great customer service. She keeps a smile on her face the entire time. Go see Dawn Marie.
My husband and I love this place. Excellent food, excellent drinks and the waitresses are all very nice and friendly. Youll feel vey welcome
7 out of 10 stars for the food, but horrible service. I sat at the bar, so youd think service would be great? Wrong. The female bartender was friendly, but clueless. Be prepared to ask for things two/three times before getting it. She would pass an empty beer glass on the counter several times; even in the drip tray, without checking in. I almost finished my entire meal without a drink. At one point she picked up my empty glass from the drip tray, placed it in the washer, then went to the end of the bar for seven minutes to text. Oh, but not without stepping outside during all of this so she could smoke, and check her phone. Finally when she realized I hadnt had a drink in 20 minutes, she asked do you want another beer? Ummm, wheres your glass? I told her you took it miss she then proceeded to find some sort of 7 oz beer stein, and filled it up after I had been drinking 12 oz pints all night. Never saw a beer so small in my life. When jokingly asking her if the baby beers were cheaper, she became very defensive, and couldnt figure out the reference even when being shown the glass next to my buddys normal beer. Getting the bill split between two people took the bartender (her) and a manager fifteen minutes to do. All whilst the manager decided to drink a beer himself, then step outside. The two guys next to me had told her they wanted two shots of Crown before the bill debacle, to which she clearly (after twenty minutes) forgot. I jokingly reminded her of this before leaving to which she became very snarky saying I KNOW. I WAS JUST GETTING IT FOR THEM! Four minutes later as I walked out, I heard them yell down to her ummm could we ever get those Crown shots? Hahaha what a mess. Two burgers/fries, about 6 beers, and two apps (hummus and spinach dip) was over $55 (not including tip). Not the greatest experience at all. Be forewarned.
Pretty good food. With daily specials. Great Service not a typical dive bar nice interior with a big Garage door to the outside🍻🍻
Absolutely loved this place. The food was on point and the service even better. Shout out to Nikki for doing such a great job. Friendly and full of info. Need more like her.
Very upset after posting great review on my Facebook. My aunt took my recommendation and went their with her son . They order dinners cocktails and salads. They recieved their drinks and salad. Waitress never came back to ask for refills. Chef kept messing up their dinners which they NEVER RECIEVED! They were ignored by their server. They paid For their drinks and salad and left and messaged me that the VANBORN TAVERN WAS AWFUL. Other People were getting their burgers and drinks that came in AFTER THEM.I have work this industry for 10 + years . This is a new restaurant..I get it. But where is the manager or assistant manager who makes sure their customers are satisfied and happy with their service.I was VERY UPSET SINCE THEY WENT ON MY RECOMMENDATION .ONLY GO IF YOU WANT A BURGER
Finally respectfully normal. Havnt tried the food for a long while but same chef back. Good place to give a try.
Great food and drinks! The people that work there are absolutely amazing!
The were several food choices from entrees to soup. The food was delicious and you can have a cocktail!! Good ambiance..loaded with tvs and sports venues..we will be going back.
Great variety of beer. Appetizers were delicious (calamari and cajun steak bites) . We sat at the bar next to the open garage door- fantastic breeze.
Pricey for the food but the beer is good quality. I did enjoy the furniture styles, Im always a big fan of tall chairs
Very good food, they have unique choices for breakfast and great burgers too medium selection of micro brew beer & prices are fair l
I like the patio in the summer can see my bike. Food and drinks are ok alot of table room for bigger parties.
Good food friendly service
Great food and ever greater service!! Highly recommended...
The best thing for brunch is the quiche. The shrimp and grits were bland. The eggs bennys were mediocre. Took a while to get service.
Great food,great service!Our waitress Jaime is AWESOME! Super friendly,beautiful smile. We will definatly be back and tell our friends.
Food is always great, prices are good and the drinks specials are great. Would have given 5stars , but some of the servers need better training.
I love this place! Big League beer selection; good food; and most importantly, during the warm months, and outdoor smoking area that I CAN BRING MY DOG!
Friendly server, Pizza was Awesome. Price was great. Have recommended to a couple of people. Definitely going back.
Third time here, absolutely excellent food. Reasonable prices and friendly service.
Food is always fresh and delicious! Awesome people/workers :)
Really good food. Place has been recently remodeled from an old diner/coney and it looks great
Awesome lunch food. Literally everything that came out on a plate was high quality, and their beer selection seemed good
Awesome food. Clean restaurant and the most competent waitress for our large party I have ever had!
Good food. A little pricey. Never have the same waitress twice. Owner must be hard to work for.
40 beers on draft, variety selection of food, cozy vibrant atmosphere, Batender was very catering to allow me to try the various types of beer and assisted in helping me build a 4 beer flight.
Great salad and super sweet waitress! The owner came up and chatted with us for a while. Nicely run establishment!
Great food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff
Friendly staff, very clean surroundings, food was good. Affordable dinning and drinks
Good food. Lots of beers and some hard ciders on tap.
Good food! Great prices
Food is always good and the atmosphere is nice. Highly reccomend.
Great as always. Happy New Year!
Been here many times. Never had anything I didnt like. If you like fried pickles their pickle fries are a MUST!
Good service cold beer but once again the pizza was bad you always give a place chances but I got a pizza too and it was like carboard as bad as 5 dollar one but 3 times the cost may as throw it out like I said the service was great
Was going I injoy the food
Excellent food and service. Reasonable priced food good variety.
This place has great food and great atmosphere. They just need to advertise tho get their name out there and get some more business!
Waited 30 min to find out order was wrong and had to wait longer waitress was very rude
Went there for my moms birthday dinner got there at 9 they closed at 11 so thought we had plenty of time apparently not the waitress came over with an attitude and said the kitchen actually closes at 10 and they were almost done with all the clean up her demeanor totally changed when we said we would just go somewhere else so wouldnt recommend going here
This is a hidden gem. Amazing menu and great service! Very good prices too!
Love the boneless chicken wings and french onion soup. The staff are nice. The restaurant is very cleaning.
Great staff and great atmosphere
Husband likes their pizzas. I ordered the club sandwich good but could use a little more bacon
Nick the owner does a great job running things..always makes you feel welcomed. .food is above average with excellent prices.
Stand out food: fried pickles, chicken ceasar wrap, burgers. They also have flights for cheap and sour beers on tap!
Food was ok nothing special.one of the waitresses seems to be passing off something to some seedy looking people asked another waitress about her was told shes a thief.how can an owner of a bar and grill keep someone employed there when he knows she has stolen from other employees .I dont think I will go back.too much drama.owner needs to step up and take charge.cannot employ someone you can not trust.......
Great food! Good service and clean restaurant.
Great food. Seasoned fries are perfect. Great people working there.
The Tavern pizza is awesome as is all the other items we have tried. Kitchen staff does an excellent job.
Both husband and I usually stop here for lunch...we usually go in there once a month....today I felt uncomfortable....chef did not have a mask on...We asked the waitress to have him put it on...people were coming in without masks on....I called the owner ,Nick later on and talked to him about it, he didnt seem too concerned about it either.....unfortunately, we haved crossed the Van Born Grill off of our regular stops ....and thats unfortunate because we did enjoy going in there, but not anymore if they are not concerned about cleanliness
Nice atmosphere and great food. Excellent staff
The food is good. The service is good. But about half the time you wait foreeevvvverr for brunch
Good food great service I would recommend coming here if your in the area
The food and service is awesome!
Excellent food, service sucks. We will be back, making sure we sit somewhere else
Good place. Food and drink variety is awesome.
Great food. Better food than most restaurants in the area.
Great beer selection. Food is solid. Cajun steak bites were spot on.
Good food. Good people.Good spirits
Vary nice server, great food, relaxing, good vibes.
Very good food, excellent service!
Good beer selection. I liked the nachos. Servers looked bored and moped around with no positive energy whatsoever.
My wife I started coming here and food is good. Good selection of beer on tap.
Better than expected. Good food, decent beer selection, and excellent service.
Service was fast and friendly, BLT was delicious, and my friend enjoyed his burger too.
Good food and nice service. Had lunch there. Easy menu.
Took 15 minutes before we seen a waitress. Then my food had to be sent back because it was sour and it was chicken.
The service was slow..Waited awhile for our food to get to our table..The coleslaw was aweful...A little high on prices..

I really like the roll up door for the smokers patio just off the bar...or where I can hang out with my dog!
Friendly staff, but their signature Van Born burger wasnt that great, and was overpriced for just a burger, as fries are extra and dont come with it.

2019-06-19A local favorite that I would be happy to frequent. Food was well prepared for what it was. Standard pricing comparable with other local restaurants. Happy hour specials are from 3pm to 6pm. Looking forward to trying brunch on the weekends and exploring the menu further.
