We had a birthday party here with about 25 people, it was perfect. They were very attentive and accommodating. All the food was tasty and the drinks were cold. It was a great evening and would recommend it to others looking for a party venue.

We are new to Scottsdale (from LA) and this has quickly become one of our favorites. It's hard to find a restaurant with quality food, great adult beverages, and an atmosphere that enables you to bring young children along (4 and 18 months). Service is very warm and attentive. In fact, the manager came over and encouraged us to come back. He stated that Tavern wants to be a comfortable, neighborhood spot. They are this, but with class and a great menu. This isn't fine dining, but great quality food that dresses up or down comfortably.

I'm torn here. We went on a tuesday night for dinner before going to a movie. I noticed the "green monster" burger and googled to find out it was a second location of TKs in Scottsdale Quarter, who's food I have found to be bland at best the many times I have visited. The hostess was spacy and very "scottsdale"- no smile, no emotions, just looked at us dead faced and sat us on the patio and stomped off. Our server, however, was amazing. We got two White Rascals and ordered dinner. My bf had a burger, and I ordered a steak- MEDIUM RARE. Well when we got our food the steak came out well done. Thankfully the waitress insisted that they make me another and let me nibble on the one in front of me. The thing I noticed was how bland it was, just beyond bland. The green beans were great, and our server was awesome, but then the second steak came and it too was almost well done. I am a huge steak lover but it was super disappointing.

Bar area is quite fun and more vibrant than some of the other stuffy places in north scottsdale where old people just drink wine and smell their wine glasses. I would recommend if you're looking for something a little more fun.

Really continue to enjoy this place. Love the beer selection and the food is always good. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Green chili pork and salmon salad just can't get any better. Couldn't ask for a better neighborhood joint.

We are always on the look out for new pubs and craft beer kitchens. This is our new favorite in the north Scottsdale area! They have a great rotating beer list and most/all of the food is made in-house, including the ketchup! We've enjoyed the Chicken Pesto Pizza and both the Pulled Pork and the Steak sandwich. My favorite is probably the Steak Sandwich that includes a nice horseradish sauce! We'll be back again and again!

Food = Phenomenal. Ambiance = Needs improvement. Service = Very friendly, but slow and disorganized. Tavern Americana has a nice space, but it needs to be utilized much better. There's a nice open wine room that is pleasing to the eye, but other than that and a couple of TV's, there's nothing to look at. The walls are grey and plain. A few photos or paintings would do a lot for the atmosphere. The acoustics are also awful. It is loud in there. The restaurant was packed, and hostess was trying to tell us that we could wait in a small "lounge" area, and order a drink, but I could only catch every couple words she said. I know I'm getting older, but at 33 I shouldn't be freaking out that my hearing is starting to go. Service was slow, and it was obivious the servers and runners were a little over whelmed. We didn't have any major problems, but a couple of the tables around us were brought either the wrong food, or the runner couldn't tell which person ordered something sans a topping, etc. The food is great. It's a tad pricier than it feels like it should be, but the ingredients are all fresh, which makes the price very forgivable. We had the roasted chicken pizza and a tavern burger. The pizza was good, but a touch oily. The burger was also good, but it felt like it could have used something to make it special. The fries are awesome and served with a house spicy ketchup. The good news for Tavern Americana is that the flaws of the place are all fixable. Put some art on the walls, figure out a way to quiet down the background noise, and get a better system for running food. Definitely would go back.

Pastrami sandwich is super duper good!!! Tender, juicy, thinly sliced, very flavorful! Also had the quinoa salad which was served warm but I felt would have been better served slightly cold. Otherwise, very tasty.

I love this place! High quality food. Great atmosphere. Tavern Americana's pulled pork sandwich is amazing and their salads are perfect. My favorite is the apple and gorgonzola. Kid's eat free on Tuesday nights too which makes it a great place for family. I lunch here with clients and vendors because it's quiet enough to talk and there is wifi. There is a private room that is perfect for board meetings. Management is very attentive and the wait staff rocks. Try their skinny mojito as well!

Checked out this new spot with parents and grandparents. Food was great everyone enjoyed their food. As a big beer guy I enjoyed their local and regional beer selection had a few different ones. Venue was nice modern "tavern" with a brick oven pizza set up and wine room. (It was upscale don't let tavern turn u away) Their were two private rooms one for about 12 and one larger one good for small events. It was mid summer so we did not get to enjoy the open air dining room and patio. As it was 112 I was happy to enjoy ac instead. All and all it was a great experience and I will be back. Thanks.

Oh yeah... I like! This is a regular spot... The greens for the salads are just ... soooo good! I have had most of the lunch menu... and I would rave about most of it! The Steak Salad is my favorite... the Green Chili burger slides in second...

We randomly decided to pop into Tavern Americana after a day trip to Tucson and needed a restaurant on a Saturday night that could fit a party of six. We were able to get in no problem, since I assume people are just starting to find out about this place. My first impression was that this restaurant needed a boost in the decor department. I loved the garage door walls, but otherwise it was just gray and drab with nothing hanging on any of the walls really. Besides the decor, it was loud and bustling in the restaurant, so the overall vibe was good. After sitting down, our waitress greeted us, but it took awhile to get our drink/food order. She seemed overwhelmed and all over the place really. Once she did focus on us, she offered some suggestions and we all placed our orders. I had the beet salad and added chicken. Everyone else had different dishes, so I did get to taste some of the other items. I LOVED my salad. The grilled chicken was awesome and the beets were cooked perfectly. The salad met/exceeded all my expectations and was rather large. The Hubs had the gnocci and seemed to like it, but it was rather small. I must mention we tried to order a couple appetizers, but they were already out for the day, which was kinda sad. To top off the meal we had the cookie and apple fritters. OMG that cookie is to die for, and I consider myself a cookie connoisseur, so you can take that review to the bank... you'll love it. All and all, for a place close to home with good quality food, we will surely be back soon. Hopefully they will add something to the walls and perfect their service. If they do that, surly they'll have a winner!

very professional service and atmosphere. Went late one night after Barrett Jackson, server was very attentive, food came out quickly, no complaints. Review the menu before you go to make sure it is what you want because there is not a lot of variety. Someone vegetarian is not going to be happy here.

This restaurant in Scottsdale turned out to be surprisingly good, though lacked just a couple of things for me to rate it a full 5 stars. In short, the food selection was excellent, beer & wine choices aplenty, but the ambiance suffers a bit due to a very basic covering of the walls and very little sound dampening. It was very loud from neighboring tables and was hard to have our own conversation! Our server was very knowledgeable on the beer offerings (extensive), and picked out a Four Peaks Kiltlifter for me that turned out to be very good (I had never had it before). As for the food, I had the Grilled Pork Tenderloin, which is served with butternut squash puree, sauteed green beans, and warm apple compote. Very delicious! The only suggestion I have for the chef would be to add a small portion of starch, say some baby reds or mashed potatoes. Our server also agreed with this. :-) The dessert also impressed - the Cookie Dough Skillet is a large, fresh baked, warm chocolate chip cookie in an iron skillet, topped with vanilla bean ice cream. OMG this was GOOD!! With decent service, and outstanding food, I rate this 4 stars only because of the environment issues with too much noise.

So we tried a new place for "happy hour" or in their words "happiest hour". So we look at the happy hour menu & check out their drinks and appetizers. The drinks are $4.95 BUT she tells me if I order a lemon drop martini that they only use real juice (we live in Arizona and lemons are abundant) so that will be $2 extra-ok fine. Then we order the guacamole with chips to start with and she comes back and says-avacados are expensive now so that will be an extra $2 added on (NOTE: BASHA'S is selling them 4 for $1--yikes that is expensive lol) to the $7.95 price that is on their happy hour menu. Also, when we ordered the green chili pork it comes with one tortilla that you need to tear apart and it is steaming hot when you get it. Well one wasn't enough so she asked if we wanted a second-we said sure-that's a $1 more of course. I've been to several establishments where you get unlimited amount of chips (which in essence is tortillas cut up and deep fried) with no extra charge so this is also ridiculous. Needless to say NOT going back!

Great food and atmosphere. Plenty of TVs to watch the games. Chef Patrick Fegan and his partners of TK Urban Tavern in Scottsdale Quarter just opened this great location. Pumpkin Soup with pumpkin oil and croutons is such a great start to the Fall season. Wood fired oven pumping out flatbreads. Sweet Potato gnocchi made in house with roasted corn and gorgonzola crema is unbelievable. Very impressive selection of beer handles and delicious cocktails. Amazing view of the sunset as well. Can't wait to return.

Had the roasted chicken. It was juicy, and the whole plate, spinach, onions, and polenta(don't even know what that is but fantastic). Some items from tks. Which I love. Not too loud, good lighting. I need to see my food. Timing was FAST. In at 6:58, food out by 7:05. Not kidding. Def coming back.

Really hate to have to have to come edit my review after moving into the area this was my boyfriend and I's favorite hang out spot. However, we went the other day for happy hour and our Montana drivers license were denied because they appeared to be fake by the owner. My family and I own our own restaurants and I understand the position he was in. But how he handled the situation was absolutely uncalled for and rather embarassing on his part. Very rude. He informed us that he went to college in Missoula, Montana and he knows for a fact that Montana drivers license do not look like ours did. Little did he know, in the past five years they have changed their appearance. I will never go back in there, nor will I ever recommend this place to anybody. After this, we weren't even waited on for the rest of the time there. No drink refills, no nothing. I don't recommend anybody supporting such an operation ran as poorly as this one.

Nina S.
It is not the menu or the food, but the service that may be downfall at this new neighborhood place. We sat at the bar (which is usual for us) and the bartenders were more interested in chating with friends than to make sure we were happy with our meal. We were going to order dessert but as soon as the plates were taken, the bartender presented us with the tab. Too bad, we walked over to Local Bistro and had dessert there. May come back but with some many other good places that have opened up lately (Soul Cafe, Isabella's, etc.), it might be a while before we return.

We stumbled into this place after finding the doors at The Grind locked....what a fantastic surprise. Organic and local ingredients, a great craft beer selection and an owner/chef who was a delight to chat with. We just moved to the neighborhood and having a place like this with some healthy options is a huge plus for us!

Great menu, had lunch and it was a home run! Going back today as we have a list of items we can't wait to try. They are a great addition to the area. We ordered the hamburger with pablano peppers comes with wonderful fries and homemade ketchup and the pulled pork sandwich. Both simple items but they were inspired and done well. Major yum. All items coming out if the kitchen looked fabulous. Only downside, if you're a desert person not much of a choice on the menu, but maybe that's a good thing

I was so excited to try this restaurant, and it didn't disappoint. This used to be the old Irish pub style bar, this place feels anything but old now. The decor feels modern but warm and very open and airy. The wine selection was very well priced and had a great selection. I had the Pinot Gris ($ 6.00 a glass) nice! There was three of us in our party each had a different dish, I had the pulled pork, they had the steak w/risotto and tenderloin. We all cleaned our plates enough said. They do not have a happy hour "yet" we were told. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. Can't wait to try this place again. Love, love!

The previous reviews of this restaurant were mixed so it was a nice surprise we found it quite nice. The menu is basic but very good. The wait staff friendly and accommodating and the price is right. We were there early on a Sunday evening so it wasn't very crowded. If you sit near the outdoor patio they have heaters that are turned on after sunset. The only thing I would mention is -- they have a number of television sets scattered throughout so it gives a "sport bar" look at first sight. If there was a big game and lots of people I'm sure the atmosphere would have been quite different. It was not this way the night we went -- we could actually hear each other talk !!! :-)

Maybe needs more time? Loud. Very loud, and I'm not old. Service was pretty good. Tried the pumpkin soup because of the raves on this site. It was just okay. Also tried the mac and cheese with bacon, which was very soupy. The meat pizza was greasy and didn't have a crispy crust. Unfortunately, no one asked us how our meal was. Kind of unusual for a new restaurant. Maybe they need to work out the kinks. Will probably give it another chance in a month or two.

We went here mainly to attend the Art Revolution day class on Saturday. The class was FANTASTIC!!! We stayed to have lunch afterwards and what a wonderful surprise. I had the pork chili and asked for tortilla chips instead of the flour tortilla it normally comes with. Little did I know, they make their own tortilla chips (just like my mom used to). Even some of the best Mexican restaurants don't do that! It was a real treat!!! The chili was also fantastic and so was my daughter's mac & cheese. Staff is super friendly and made me wine spritzers exactly the way I wanted them, with the wine chosen from the wine list. A big pet peeve of mine is stale lemons or limes in my drink. But, nope, I could tell that lemon in my wine spritzer was freshly cut, seeds removed, and exactly how I like it. I'm the type of person who would never complain if it wasn't exactly right so it was such a pleasure to get it exactly how I like without any pretention that I want it that way. Would go back in a heartbeat!!!

We dropped in last night for dinner. No idea where we were- just hungry. Our local companion told me that this restaurant had recently been reincarnated from a former irish pub . There is no decor or theme- it must be a work in progress. There is a hostess at the entry but it was hit-or-miss as to who was our waiter/server/bar waiter. They might have been short handed. Drinks were ordered. Drinks got delivered. Great cocktails ! We ordered dinner and each entre proved to far surpass my expectations. I had a perfectly grilled thick fillet with risotto and mushrooms. Wonderful. We also had a grilled salmon and a thick cut pork chop. All were equally delicious and attractively plated. I would enjoy returning for a meal or drinks here any time. Four stars for ambience still in progress.

went two nights ago. Upcharge for Martini was $2.00 for Smirnoff bringing it to $8.00. Salmon was the salty side of the Great Salt Lake or the Dead Sea. Worst we have ever had despite the manager saying it was the best. Green chile was good but again salty. My wift threw up upon getting home. Will not return. The $15.00 coupon was not worth it.

We were very impressed with this new Resturant. It was very well decorated with excellent lighting. We sat at the bar and had a few drinks then ordered the French fries with their own ketchup, it was amazing! The bartender was very helpful. We are going back tomorrow for lunch. Great addition to the Grayhawk area.

We happened to be in the area on a Saturday night and decided to give this restaurant a try. It was a very good choice. They offer both patio and restaurant seating, with large garage doors that open to bring the patio inside. They have an extensive bar with many beers on tap. The menu is diverse from pizza to burgers. We decided to try their burgers. They offer two different ones. One is the "green monster," a green chili cheeseburger, served on a fresh potato bun. You have a choice of a side salad or fries. The burger was cooked perfectly to the med-rare, as ordered. The fries were hand cut with the skins on,and fresh. The burgers use organic fresh beef. The service was efficient and friendly. The restaurant offered two dinner special, including salmon. They offer several wood stove pizzas, from their open oven. We would definitely return to try the pizza next time...

We recently visited this place on a Saturday night and it was so-so. The food seemed overpriced for what you get and the pizza was average at best. We ordered a pear salad with chicken to start and it was very small for the $12 price. It had good flavor but not worth the money. The wood fired pizza was bland and small. The one positive was the bartender was really efficient and nice, and even though the kitchen messed up the food order, he offered to get me a glass of wine to make up for the error. I really appreciated the good service and he corrected the mistake quickly. I may stop back in to try the burgers but for pizza, no chance.

Went here as a group and we all had a good time. They had live music which was a plus. Wife had the NY steak which she said was great and I tried the Green Monster off of a recommendation and thought it was good but not stellar. The rest of the group also seemed pleased with their choices. Overall, food and service was good and we'll be back to check out more.

My husband and I took our four year old there last night. It was our first time dining there. We didn't eat super extravagantly but the price was a little extravagant. While they are super kid friendly and have a lot of options for kids' food, my daughter ate for $10.95, which seemed a little high. For a four dollar applejuice, I would have expected for it to be spiked with a little rum or alcohol-- $4 dollars for a kids' drink?!?The food was not terrible but it was not terribly remarkable, either. We ordered pita and hummus as an appetizer. There wasn't anything special about the hummus. The pita, however was super fresh and pillowy. I ordered the tricolored quinoa salad with a piece of salmon on top. The salad and salmon were a little bland. My husband order the 'hold the tomato' white pizza and said it was very good. We were very satisfied with our service. The atmosphere is super pleasant and the waitstaff was awesome. Overall, their menu is limited and small and food is pricey. Will try again but not in any hurry to go back.

Amazing atmosphere, fantastic menu and wine/beer/cocktail selection. We had the Pumpkin Soup (superb) and salmon salad and pizza with the apple fritters for dessert. So jazzed to have a great American rest in the area. Shocking how poorly run the service staff were.....they were indifferent, borderline snotty and inefficient. Had to ask for utensils, salt and pepper, water, drinks etc. We asked for parm cheese for the pizza and the waitress actually brought us an empty cheese clear shaker. We ate dinner at 8pm and even though the rest was half full, the young wait staff were breaking down everything for the night. When we left we literally had to walk past the chef, manager and lead waitstaff having a meeting at the exit area and no one said goodbye, thank you, hope you enjoyed your meal etc. I had to say thank you to them and they looked annoyed to be interrupted. To make it in this town you have to have more than great food and atmosphere........Service, Service, Service ( and I am not talking fawning/fake/over attentive service.....I am talking decent hello, thank you and caring about the customer vs hiring young and beautiful people type service.)

Lure in the premium craft beer drinkers with a good list but then shove them away when those beers are excluded on the happy hour. In all honesty they might as well just not have a HH if they're going to make it so obvious that they just want the full price folks. They have a great list of craft beers, but only Coors light and Coors' Blue Moon are beers listed on the happy hour. And then for spirits, it's the low quality options like Cuervo Gold, JW Red, etc. that are discounted. Yes this is a high rent area with a wealthy local customer base, so why not just omit the happy hour altogether? Alternatives for happy hour just head over to City North or Desert Ridge and get those same beers on HH because this place doesn't want (need?) your business. More generally, they've vastly improved the atmosphere over the Irish bar that went out of business in the same location. It has a more upscale feel, good presentation of food, and our service was very good on this occasion. Nothing to rave about with the food, nor necessarily critique either. Food pricing is within normal range for the area. Parking is good due to the shared strip mall & grocery store parking.

Second - premium liquors are NOT Cuervo and Smirnoff! Pizza was ok but could use more INGREDIENTS for what they charge! The decor Inside makes it Feel cold and unfinished! Soooo disappointed! :(

Great Happy hour! Above the norm typical happy hour bar food: The green chili pork was amazing - so tender with just the right amount of spice! We also ordered a delish vegetarian pizza with roasted corn, mushrooms, red peppers, and more. Typically happy hour pizza's are small and just barely enough for one person, but this pizza was huge - actually took it home and had it for lunch the next day. The serving sizes are really generous - especially for happy hour - such a rarity! Service was great - server was personable and quick. The dining room is loud....extremely loud. They have hardwood floors and open ceilings, so nothing to absorb the sound. Thinking once summer is over and they open the patio doors it will be at a more acceptable level. So keep in mind if you don't want to shout across the table! Can't wait to come back and try the gnocchi - which I hear is amazing!

1st visit. Mid Sunday afternoon before heading to the airport. Big upgrade from O'Donoghue's, previously at this location. Very good tap beer menu. House made hummus w/ pita, fresh made and hot from the oven. Fabulous. The Green Monster burger was very good, high quality Niman beef. Excellent service (Matthew). Comfortable atmosphere. Plenty of TV screens in the bar for sports fans. Convenient location for Grayhawk residents

Stopped in for a late lunch on afternoon. Brought the kiddo. The place was empty save for a few bar flies. The Mac and cheese for the kiddo was amazing. He loved and and so did we. The pizza while good intentioned was below average. The quality of the toppings was low. Especially the pepperoni. It's weird to spend so much money on decor and ambiance and than try to save pennies on cheap pepperoni. No one comes back for pepperoni that curls up. Cmon. Had a couple other dishes and everything was just ho-Hum. The server/bartender was friendly and accommodating. An awkward interaction was happening right at the front door for a while between their chef and a manager. Deft a conversation to have in the back out of earshot of the guests. They have to figure some things out for sure. Make decisions that benefit and improve the guests experience. Focus on making dollars not saving pennies.

Ok I feel really bad posting this. Looks like another restaurant is about ready to bite the dust. Walked in this evening for dinner. Could not get past the smell. You all know the smell of a restaurant almost ready to close. They cut down/out on maintenance. Stop cleaning the grease trap and their floors. The people that work they are so nice. We had a drink and left. Sorry sorry.

Holly was very nice, knew what to recommend and was very attentive. The drinks were phenomenal: Maker's Mark Manhattan, The Western Rye to die for. Try the Chipotle, it's a must. Loved the Yukon Gold Gnocchi and Salmon Filet get 5 stars. Will definitely go back.

Happy to see this addition to neighborhood. We started with pork green chili appetizer. Very good! Noted as a house favorite and I see why. Pastrami sandwich is another favorite and it was excellent. Not huge as many are. Just excellent. Mushroom pizza had way too many mushrooms on It. Good pizza. Would pick a different flavor. Overbearing. Good selection of wine by glass. But I think I got one opened one too many days. Unfortunately too many restaurants do this. Especially when manager of it is not a wine drinker. Still overall happy for this addition to neighborhood.

Solid food and service. I like that they use all locally grown products. We came on a weekday and it wasn't that busy at all. I assume it gets way more hectic at night. The outdoor seating was pleasant. My only complaint is that the food took awhile to come out, but the quality was good.

Here for Thursday Night Fried Chicken Dinner. They ran out last week, but we won't miss this week. Let you know how it is. Just finished. Fantastic. The crust on the chicken makes your mouth water for the next bite. Fresh corn off the cob and the coleslaw are excellent compliment's to the meal.

Overall rating: 3.5 Stars In short, the food was good but compared to other restaurants in the area, it could be better. I came here on a business lunch with co-workers. When we arrived, there were only one or two other tables with customers and the place seemed pretty dead. Not sure if it was because we were here around 11:30am and the lunch rush hadn't picked up or what. This worked in our favor since our waiter was very attentive and the service was fast and efficient. I liked the inside as it was very open and had plenty of seating. There was a lot of wood, which looked nice. It reminded me of an upscale tavern, which is what I was expecting. Even the bathroom was nicely decorated and had ample room in the stalls. For lunch, my boss ordered the Diablo Chicken Pasta, which had a very spicy and creamy sauce with chicken and bacon. He said it was very good and it looked delicious. Another co-worker ordered a Green Monster burger and I ordered the Western burger. I normally enjoy a medium-rare burger, but since I've never ordered a burger from this place previously and had no idea how they cook their burgers, I went with medium. My co-worker risked it and went medium-rare. When our burgers arrived, both were cooked about the same. (Mainly medium, leaning a little towards medium-rare. The burger itself was flavorful and the fries were pretty good. By the time we finished our meal, only one other table filled up and this was an elderly couple. It was crazy to see a place so dead during a weekday at lunchtime. Overall, while the food was good, I don't know if I'd come back. I say this only because it is located in a shopping plaza with several other restaurants that I really love. Thus, if I was in the area, I would choose those restaurants first. However, their happy hour does look pretty good and I might give it another chance.

We made it out to Tavern Americana because we purchased a Groupon for Art Revolution Tonight painting class that actually takes places inside of their location. We went early just so we could sit and eat here since it was new to us. Luckily, we made it for happy hour, which runs til 7 p.m. (great news since the art class starts at 6:30 p.m. and you can grab up a drink or two while painting). We ordered the Mac & Cheese appetizer off of the happy hour menu which was around $5 and normally is about $8 - decent savings. It was very good. We forgot to request the optional bacon in it, so we will give that a go next time! It was delicious with out it though. For main course I had the Western Burger and my fiancee had the Pulled Pork Sandwich. Both of the buns were a touch dry - but the meat on both sandwiches was very nicely done. The coleslaw on the pulled pork was a touch too tart for him, but if you like more tart coleslaw this may be right up your alley. We could NOT pass up a chance to try the baked cookie skillet with ice cream a la mode. It was well worth it. Overall: A Grab up an Art Revolution Tonight Groupon with Violet and eat at the Tavern. Excellent date night!

My wife and I love to come here. I'm giving this place a 4 star only because the last two times the service wasn't as good. As for the food I have zero complaints and their salmon is by far my favorite in the valley!

The manager, Ryan, was exceptional. We went in to watch the Blackhawks game and decided we wanted to more of a "Chicago" bar. We hadn't ordered a thing and Ryan was more than happy to not only find a bar (since we are new to the are) but he actually called and made a reservation for us. We will definitely be back to Tavern Americana because of the amazing customer service!!

Very good food at this restaurant, but the lunchtime service needs some work. We went here for lunch on a Thursday around noon and there were only two servers working. Although the restaurant was generally quiet at this time, it took a moment to get seated because the host was running around like he was busy. Once we got seated we had our servers attention until the lunch rush happened; at which point we had to wait 20 minutes between the time we finished our lunch, to the time we actually got up to find him and pay our bill. I think the restraint just needs some more time to figure out staffing for the lunch rush.

Strongly recommend. All fresh and delicious. Had the green chilli pork off the starter menu and it was fanomanal. Simple salad was the best salad I have ever had. The burger was amazing and cooked perfectly. The fries are delicious. The beer selection is superb. The live music was great. Chris C was our server and probably the best service I have ever had. Overall 6 Stars if that was possible. Get the extra star because everything is made in house and comes from local vendors. A must dine place.

I love this restaurant. I eat lunch here at least once every week. Only criticism is that they need to change up the menu a bit. A must try.

We are new to Scottsdale (from LA) and this has quickly become one of our favorites. It's hard to find a restaurant with quality food, great adult beverages, and an atmosphere that enables you to bring young children along (4 and 18 months). Service is very warm and attentive. In fact, the manager came over and encouraged us to come back. He stated that Tavern wants to be a comfortable, neighborhood spot. They are this, but with class and a great menu. This isn't fine dining, but great quality food that dresses up or down comfortably.

I'm torn here. We went on a tuesday night for dinner before going to a movie. I noticed the "green monster" burger and googled to find out it was a second location of TKs in Scottsdale Quarter, who's food I have found to be bland at best the many times I have visited. The hostess was spacy and very "scottsdale"- no smile, no emotions, just looked at us dead faced and sat us on the patio and stomped off. Our server, however, was amazing. We got two White Rascals and ordered dinner. My bf had a burger, and I ordered a steak- MEDIUM RARE. Well when we got our food the steak came out well done. Thankfully the waitress insisted that they make me another and let me nibble on the one in front of me. The thing I noticed was how bland it was, just beyond bland. The green beans were great, and our server was awesome, but then the second steak came and it too was almost well done. I am a huge steak lover but it was super disappointing.

Bar area is quite fun and more vibrant than some of the other stuffy places in north scottsdale where old people just drink wine and smell their wine glasses. I would recommend if you're looking for something a little more fun.

We are always on the look out for new pubs and craft beer kitchens. This is our new favorite in the north Scottsdale area! They have a great rotating beer list and most/all of the food is made in-house, including the ketchup! We've enjoyed the Chicken Pesto Pizza and both the Pulled Pork and the Steak sandwich. My favorite is probably the Steak Sandwich that includes a nice horseradish sauce! We'll be back again and again!

Food = Phenomenal. Ambiance = Needs improvement. Service = Very friendly, but slow and disorganized. Tavern Americana has a nice space, but it needs to be utilized much better. There's a nice open wine room that is pleasing to the eye, but other than that and a couple of TV's, there's nothing to look at. The walls are grey and plain. A few photos or paintings would do a lot for the atmosphere. The acoustics are also awful. It is loud in there. The restaurant was packed, and hostess was trying to tell us that we could wait in a small "lounge" area, and order a drink, but I could only catch every couple words she said. I know I'm getting older, but at 33 I shouldn't be freaking out that my hearing is starting to go. Service was slow, and it was obivious the servers and runners were a little over whelmed. We didn't have any major problems, but a couple of the tables around us were brought either the wrong food, or the runner couldn't tell which person ordered something sans a topping, etc. The food is great. It's a tad pricier than it feels like it should be, but the ingredients are all fresh, which makes the price very forgivable. We had the roasted chicken pizza and a tavern burger. The pizza was good, but a touch oily. The burger was also good, but it felt like it could have used something to make it special. The fries are awesome and served with a house spicy ketchup. The good news for Tavern Americana is that the flaws of the place are all fixable. Put some art on the walls, figure out a way to quiet down the background noise, and get a better system for running food. Definitely would go back.

I love this place! High quality food. Great atmosphere. Tavern Americana's pulled pork sandwich is amazing and their salads are perfect. My favorite is the apple and gorgonzola. Kid's eat free on Tuesday nights too which makes it a great place for family. I lunch here with clients and vendors because it's quiet enough to talk and there is wifi. There is a private room that is perfect for board meetings. Management is very attentive and the wait staff rocks. Try their skinny mojito as well!

Checked out this new spot with parents and grandparents. Food was great everyone enjoyed their food. As a big beer guy I enjoyed their local and regional beer selection had a few different ones. Venue was nice modern "tavern" with a brick oven pizza set up and wine room. (It was upscale don't let tavern turn u away) Their were two private rooms one for about 12 and one larger one good for small events. It was mid summer so we did not get to enjoy the open air dining room and patio. As it was 112 I was happy to enjoy ac instead. All and all it was a great experience and I will be back. Thanks.

Oh yeah... I like! This is a regular spot... The greens for the salads are just ... soooo good! I have had most of the lunch menu... and I would rave about most of it! The Steak Salad is my favorite... the Green Chili burger slides in second...

We randomly decided to pop into Tavern Americana after a day trip to Tucson and needed a restaurant on a Saturday night that could fit a party of six. We were able to get in no problem, since I assume people are just starting to find out about this place. My first impression was that this restaurant needed a boost in the decor department. I loved the garage door walls, but otherwise it was just gray and drab with nothing hanging on any of the walls really. Besides the decor, it was loud and bustling in the restaurant, so the overall vibe was good. After sitting down, our waitress greeted us, but it took awhile to get our drink/food order. She seemed overwhelmed and all over the place really. Once she did focus on us, she offered some suggestions and we all placed our orders. I had the beet salad and added chicken. Everyone else had different dishes, so I did get to taste some of the other items. I LOVED my salad. The grilled chicken was awesome and the beets were cooked perfectly. The salad met/exceeded all my expectations and was rather large. The Hubs had the gnocci and seemed to like it, but it was rather small. I must mention we tried to order a couple appetizers, but they were already out for the day, which was kinda sad. To top off the meal we had the cookie and apple fritters. OMG that cookie is to die for, and I consider myself a cookie connoisseur, so you can take that review to the bank... you'll love it. All and all, for a place close to home with good quality food, we will surely be back soon. Hopefully they will add something to the walls and perfect their service. If they do that, surly they'll have a winner!

very professional service and atmosphere. Went late one night after Barrett Jackson, server was very attentive, food came out quickly, no complaints. Review the menu before you go to make sure it is what you want because there is not a lot of variety. Someone vegetarian is not going to be happy here.

Really enjoy this place for cocktails. There are some really tasty ones on their list. Matt at the bar is awesome! If you feel like being adventuresome he'll make you anything you want and if he doesn't know the recipe he'll look it up for you! And there ain't nothin wrong with bacon loaded mac n cheese!

Went here as a group and we all had a good time. They had live music which was a plus. Wife had the NY steak which she said was great and I tried the Green Monster off of a recommendation and thought it was good but not stellar. The rest of the group also seemed pleased with their choices. Overall, food and service was good and we'll be back to check out more.

Lure in the premium craft beer drinkers with a good list but then shove them away when those beers are excluded on the happy hour. In all honesty they might as well just not have a HH if they're going to make it so obvious that they just want the full price folks. They have a great list of craft beers, but only Coors light and Coors' Blue Moon are beers listed on the happy hour. And then for spirits, it's the low quality options like Cuervo Gold, JW Red, etc. that are discounted. Yes this is a high rent area with a wealthy local customer base, so why not just omit the happy hour altogether? Alternatives for happy hour just head over to City North or Desert Ridge and get those same beers on HH because this place doesn't want (need?) your business. More generally, they've vastly improved the atmosphere over the Irish bar that went out of business in the same location. It has a more upscale feel, good presentation of food, and our service was very good on this occasion. Nothing to rave about with the food, nor necessarily critique either. Food pricing is within normal range for the area. Parking is good due to the shared strip mall & grocery store parking.

Great food and atmosphere. Plenty of TVs to watch the games. Chef Patrick Fegan and his partners of TK Urban Tavern in Scottsdale Quarter just opened this great location. Pumpkin Soup with pumpkin oil and croutons is such a great start to the Fall season. Wood fired oven pumping out flatbreads. Sweet Potato gnocchi made in house with roasted corn and gorgonzola crema is unbelievable. Very impressive selection of beer handles and delicious cocktails. Amazing view of the sunset as well. Can't wait to return.

Had the roasted chicken. It was juicy, and the whole plate, spinach, onions, and polenta(don't even know what that is but fantastic). Some items from tks. Which I love. Not too loud, good lighting. I need to see my food. Timing was FAST. In at 6:58, food out by 7:05. Not kidding. Def coming back.

Really hate to have to have to come edit my review after moving into the area this was my boyfriend and I's favorite hang out spot. However, we went the other day for happy hour and our Montana drivers license were denied because they appeared to be fake by the owner. My family and I own our own restaurants and I understand the position he was in. But how he handled the situation was absolutely uncalled for and rather embarassing on his part. Very rude. He informed us that he went to college in Missoula, Montana and he knows for a fact that Montana drivers license do not look like ours did. Little did he know, in the past five years they have changed their appearance. I will never go back in there, nor will I ever recommend this place to anybody. After this, we weren't even waited on for the rest of the time there. No drink refills, no nothing. I don't recommend anybody supporting such an operation ran as poorly as this one.

Nina S.
It is not the menu or the food, but the service that may be downfall at this new neighborhood place. We sat at the bar (which is usual for us) and the bartenders were more interested in chating with friends than to make sure we were happy with our meal. We were going to order dessert but as soon as the plates were taken, the bartender presented us with the tab. Too bad, we walked over to Local Bistro and had dessert there. May come back but with some many other good places that have opened up lately (Soul Cafe, Isabella's, etc.), it might be a while before we return.

We stumbled into this place after finding the doors at The Grind locked....what a fantastic surprise.

We were very impressed with this new Resturant. It was very well decorated with excellent lighting. We sat at the bar and had a few drinks then ordered the French fries with their own ketchup, it was amazing! The bartender was very helpful. We are going back tomorrow for lunch. Great addition to the Grayhawk area.

We happened to be in the area on a Saturday night and decided to give this restaurant a try. It was a very good choice. They offer both patio and restaurant seating, with large garage doors that open to bring the patio inside. They have an extensive bar with many beers on tap. The menu is diverse from pizza to burgers. We decided to try their burgers. They offer two different ones. One is the "green monster," a green chili cheeseburger, served on a fresh potato bun. You have a choice of a side salad or fries. The burger was cooked perfectly to the med-rare, as ordered. The fries were hand cut with the skins on,and fresh. The burgers use organic fresh beef. The service was efficient and friendly. The restaurant offered two dinner special, including salmon. They offer several wood stove pizzas, from their open oven. We would definitely return to try the pizza next time...

We recently visited this place on a Saturday night and it was so-so. The food seemed overpriced for what you get and the pizza was average at best. We ordered a pear salad with chicken to start and it was very small for the $12 price. It had good flavor but not worth the money. The wood fired pizza was bland and small. The one positive was the bartender was really efficient and nice, and even though the kitchen messed up the food order, he offered to get me a glass of wine to make up for the error. I really appreciated the good service and he corrected the mistake quickly. I may stop back in to try the burgers but for pizza, no chance.

Solid food and service. Both owners have extensive food and beverage experience and it shows in their menu and service. There are plenty of TV's to watch your favourite game. Had the three little pigs and chicken pesto pizza from the wood fired oven and they were delicious. I highly recommend this place to get out of the house.

Great menu, had lunch and it was a home run! Going back today as we have a list of items we can't wait to try. They are a great addition to the area. We ordered the hamburger with pablano peppers comes with wonderful fries and homemade ketchup and the pulled pork sandwich. Both simple items but they were inspired and done well. Major yum. All items coming out if the kitchen looked fabulous. Only downside, if you're a desert person not much of a choice on the menu, but maybe that's a good thing

I was so excited to try this restaurant, and it didn't disappoint. This used to be the old Irish pub style bar, this place feels anything but old now. The decor feels modern but warm and very open and airy. The wine selection was very well priced and had a great selection. I had the Pinot Gris ($ 6.00 a glass) nice! There was three of us in our party each had a different dish, I had the pulled pork, they had the steak w/risotto and tenderloin. We all cleaned our plates enough said. They do not have a happy hour "yet" we were told. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. Can't wait to try this place again. Love, love!

The previous reviews of this restaurant were mixed so it was a nice surprise we found it quite nice. The menu is basic but very good. The wait staff friendly and accommodating and the price is right. We were there early on a Sunday evening so it wasn't very crowded. If you sit near the outdoor patio they have heaters that are turned on after sunset. The only thing I would mention is -- they have a number of television sets scattered throughout so it gives a "sport bar" look at first sight. If there was a big game and lots of people I'm sure the atmosphere would have been quite different. It was not this way the night we went -- we could actually hear each other talk !!! :-)

Maybe needs more time? Loud. Very loud, and I'm not old. Service was pretty good. Tried the pumpkin soup because of the raves on this site. It was just okay. Also tried the mac and cheese with bacon, which was very soupy. The meat pizza was greasy and didn't have a crispy crust. Unfortunately, no one asked us how our meal was. Kind of unusual for a new restaurant. Maybe they need to work out the kinks. Will probably give it another chance in a month or two.

We went here mainly to attend the Art Revolution day class on Saturday. The class was FANTASTIC!!! We stayed to have lunch afterwards and what a wonderful surprise. I had the pork chili and asked for tortilla chips instead of the flour tortilla it normally comes with. Little did I know, they make their own tortilla chips (just like my mom used to). Even some of the best Mexican restaurants don't do that! It was a real treat!!! The chili was also fantastic and so was my daughter's mac & cheese. Staff is super friendly and made me wine spritzers exactly the way I wanted them, with the wine chosen from the wine list. A big pet peeve of mine is stale lemons or limes in my drink. But, nope, I could tell that lemon in my wine spritzer was freshly cut, seeds removed, and exactly how I like it. I'm the type of person who would never complain if it wasn't exactly right so it was such a pleasure to get it exactly how I like without any pretention that I want it that way. Would go back in a heartbeat!!!

We dropped in last night for dinner. No idea where we were- just hungry. Our local companion told me that this restaurant had recently been reincarnated from a former irish pub . There is no decor or theme- it must be a work in progress. There is a hostess at the entry but it was hit-or-miss as to who was our waiter/server/bar waiter. They might have been short handed. Drinks were ordered. Drinks got delivered. Great cocktails ! We ordered dinner and each entre proved to far surpass my expectations. I had a perfectly grilled thick fillet with risotto and mushrooms. Wonderful. We also had a grilled salmon and a thick cut pork chop. All were equally delicious and attractively plated. I would enjoy returning for a meal or drinks here any time. Four stars for ambience still in progress.

went two nights ago. Upcharge for Martini was $2.00 for Smirnoff bringing it to $8.00. Salmon was the salty side of the Great Salt Lake or the Dead Sea. Worst we have ever had despite the manager saying it was the best. Green chile was good but again salty. My wift threw up upon getting home. Will not return. The $15.00 coupon was not worth it.

My husband and I took our four year old there last night. It was our first time dining there. We didn't eat super extravagantly but the price was a little extravagant. While they are super kid friendly and have a lot of options for kids' food, my daughter ate for $10.95, which seemed a little high. For a four dollar applejuice, I would have expected for it to be spiked with a little rum or alcohol-- $4 dollars for a kids' drink?!?The food was not terrible but it was not terribly remarkable, either. We ordered pita and hummus as an appetizer. There wasn't anything special about the hummus. The pita, however was super fresh and pillowy. I ordered the tricolored quinoa salad with a piece of salmon on top. The salad and salmon were a little bland. My husband order the 'hold the tomato' white pizza and said it was very good. We were very satisfied with our service. The atmosphere is super pleasant and the waitstaff was awesome. Overall, their menu is limited and small and food is pricey. Will try again but not in any hurry to go back.

Amazing atmosphere, fantastic menu and wine/beer/cocktail selection. We had the Pumpkin Soup (superb) and salmon salad and pizza with the apple fritters for dessert. So jazzed to have a great American rest in the area. Shocking how poorly run the service staff were.....they were indifferent, borderline snotty and inefficient. Had to ask for utensils, salt and pepper, water, drinks etc. We asked for parm cheese for the pizza and the waitress actually brought us an empty cheese clear shaker. We ate dinner at 8pm and even though the rest was half full, the young wait staff were breaking down everything for the night. When we left we literally had to walk past the chef, manager and lead waitstaff having a meeting at the exit area and no one said goodbye, thank you, hope you enjoyed your meal etc. I had to say thank you to them and they looked annoyed to be interrupted. To make it in this town you have to have more than great food and atmosphere........Service, Service, Service ( and I am not talking fawning/fake/over attentive service.....I am talking decent hello, thank you and caring about the customer vs hiring young and beautiful people type service.)

Great Happy hour! Above the norm typical happy hour bar food: The green chili pork was amazing - so tender with just the right amount of spice! We also ordered a delish vegetarian pizza with roasted corn, mushrooms, red peppers, and more. Typically happy hour pizza's are small and just barely enough for one person, but this pizza was huge - actually took it home and had it for lunch the next day. The serving sizes are really generous - especially for happy hour - such a rarity! Service was great - server was personable and quick. The dining room is loud....extremely loud. They have hardwood floors and open ceilings, so nothing to absorb the sound. Thinking once summer is over and they open the patio doors it will be at a more acceptable level. So keep in mind if you don't want to shout across the table! Can't wait to come back and try the gnocchi - which I hear is amazing!

Stopped in for a late lunch on afternoon. Brought the kiddo. The place was empty save for a few bar flies. The Mac and cheese for the kiddo was amazing. He loved and and so did we. The pizza while good intentioned was below average. The quality of the toppings was low. Especially the pepperoni. It's weird to spend so much money on decor and ambiance and than try to save pennies on cheap pepperoni. No one comes back for pepperoni that curls up. Cmon. Had a couple other dishes and everything was just ho-Hum. The server/bartender was friendly and accommodating. An awkward interaction was happening right at the front door for a while between their chef and a manager. Deft a conversation to have in the back out of earshot of the guests. They have to figure some things out for sure. Make decisions that benefit and improve the guests experience. Focus on making dollars not saving pennies.

Ok I feel really bad posting this. Looks like another restaurant is about ready to bite the dust. Walked in this evening for dinner. Could not get past the smell. You all know the smell of a restaurant almost ready to close. They cut down/out on maintenance. Stop cleaning the grease trap and their floors. The people that work they are so nice. We had a drink and left. Sorry sorry.

Good food, nice atmosphere, good selection of beer on draft... Downside.... Prices are too high. Happy hour prices are not happy! Game day Sunday and the bar is empty... Should be packed. If the prices were reasonable, it would be. Volume people, volume.

Holly was very nice, knew what to recommend and was very attentive. The drinks were phenomenal: Maker's Mark Manhattan, The Western Rye to die for. Try the Chipotle, it's a must. Loved the Yukon Gold Gnocchi and Salmon Filet get 5 stars. Will definitely go back.

Happy to see this addition to neighborhood. We started with pork green chili appetizer. Very good! Noted as a house favorite and I see why. Pastrami sandwich is another favorite and it was excellent. Not huge as many are. Just excellent. Mushroom pizza had way too many mushrooms on It. Good pizza. Would pick a different flavor. Overbearing. Good selection of wine by glass. But I think I got one opened one too many days. Unfortunately too many restaurants do this. Especially when manager of it is not a wine drinker. Still overall happy for this addition to neighborhood.

Solid food and service. I like that they use all locally grown products. We came on a weekday and it wasn't that busy at all. I assume it gets way more hectic at night. The outdoor seating was pleasant. My only complaint is that the food took awhile to come out, but the quality was good.

Overall rating: 3.5 Stars In short, the food was good but compared to other restaurants in the area, it could be better. I came here on a business lunch with co-workers. When we arrived, there were only one or two other tables with customers and the place seemed pretty dead. Not sure if it was because we were here around 11:30am and the lunch rush hadn't picked up or what. This worked in our favor since our waiter was very attentive and the service was fast and efficient. I liked the inside as it was very open and had plenty of seating. There was a lot of wood, which looked nice. It reminded me of an upscale tavern, which is what I was expecting. Even the bathroom was nicely decorated and had ample room in the stalls. For lunch, my boss ordered the Diablo Chicken Pasta, which had a very spicy and creamy sauce with chicken and bacon. He said it was very good and it looked delicious. Another co-worker ordered a Green Monster burger and I ordered the Western burger. I normally enjoy a medium-rare burger, but since I've never ordered a burger from this place previously and had no idea how they cook their burgers, I went with medium. My co-worker risked it and went medium-rare. When our burgers arrived, both were cooked about the same. (Mainly medium, leaning a little towards medium-rare. The burger itself was flavorful and the fries were pretty good. By the time we finished our meal, only one other table filled up and this was an elderly couple. It was crazy to see a place so dead during a weekday at lunchtime. Overall, while the food was good, I don't know if I'd come back. I say this only because it is located in a shopping plaza with several other restaurants that I really love. Thus, if I was in the area, I would choose those restaurants first. However, their happy hour does look pretty good and I might give it another chance.

Here for Thursday Night Fried Chicken Dinner. They ran out last week, but we won't miss this week. Let you know how it is. Just finished. Fantastic. The crust on the chicken makes your mouth water for the next bite. Fresh corn off the cob and the coleslaw are excellent compliment's to the meal.

My son and I love this place! Pork Stew and Tims Chicken Wing Pizza rock. Ryan and Matt behind the bar always treat us outstanding?

Strongly recommend. All fresh and delicious. Had the green chilli pork off the starter menu and it was fanomanal. Simple salad was the best salad I have ever had. The burger was amazing and cooked perfectly. The fries are delicious. The beer selection is superb. The live music was great. Chris C was our server and probably the best service I have ever had. Overall 6 Stars if that was possible. Get the extra star because everything is made in house and comes from local vendors. A must dine place.

I love this restaurant. I eat lunch here at least once every week. Only criticism is that they need to change up the menu a bit. A must try.

We made it out to Tavern Americana because we purchased a Groupon for Art Revolution Tonight painting class that actually takes places inside of their location. We went early just so we could sit and eat here since it was new to us. Luckily, we made it for happy hour, which runs til 7 p.m. (great news since the art class starts at 6:30 p.m. and you can grab up a drink or two while painting). We ordered the Mac & Cheese appetizer off of the happy hour menu which was around $5 and normally is about $8 - decent savings. It was very good. We forgot to request the optional bacon in it, so we will give that a go next time! It was delicious with out it though. For main course I had the Western Burger and my fiancee had the Pulled Pork Sandwich. Both of the buns were a touch dry - but the meat on both sandwiches was very nicely done. The coleslaw on the pulled pork was a touch too tart for him, but if you like more tart coleslaw this may be right up your alley. We could NOT pass up a chance to try the baked cookie skillet with ice cream a la mode. It was well worth it. Overall: A Grab up an Art Revolution Tonight Groupon with Violet and eat at the Tavern. Excellent date night!

My wife and I love to come here. I'm giving this place a 4 star only because the last two times the service wasn't as good. As for the food I have zero complaints and their salmon is by far my favorite in the valley!

The manager, Ryan, was exceptional. We went in to watch the Blackhawks game and decided we wanted to more of a "Chicago" bar. We hadn't ordered a thing and Ryan was more than happy to not only find a bar (since we are new to the are) but he actually called and made a reservation for us. We will definitely be back to Tavern Americana because of the amazing customer service!!

Very good food at this restaurant, but the lunchtime service needs some work. We went here for lunch on a Thursday around noon and there were only two servers working. Although the restaurant was generally quiet at this time, it took a moment to get seated because the host was running around like he was busy. Once we got seated we had our servers attention until the lunch rush happened; at which point we had to wait 20 minutes between the time we finished our lunch, to the time we actually got up to find him and pay our bill. I think the restraint just needs some more time to figure out staffing for the lunch rush.

Great service, wonderful food and a great draft selection. I was ecstatic to find an upscale pub so close to home. Their ingredients are usually local, and their bartenders know what they are talking about. Fantastic experience.

We had a birthday party here with about 25 people, it was perfect. They were very attentive and accommodating. All the food was tasty and the drinks were cold. It was a great evening and would recommend it to others looking for a party venue.

We are new to Scottsdale (from LA) and this has quickly become one of our favorites. It's hard to find a restaurant with quality food, great adult beverages, and an atmosphere that enables you to bring young children along (4 and 18 months). Service is very warm and attentive. In fact, the manager came over and encouraged us to come back. He stated that Tavern wants to be a comfortable, neighborhood spot. They are this, but with class and a great menu. This isn't fine dining, but great quality food that dresses up or down comfortably.

I'm torn here. We went on a tuesday night for dinner before going to a movie. I noticed the "green monster" burger and googled to find out it was a second location of TKs in Scottsdale Quarter, who's food I have found to be bland at best the many times I have visited. The hostess was spacy and very "scottsdale"- no smile, no emotions, just looked at us dead faced and sat us on the patio and stomped off. Our server, however, was amazing. We got two White Rascals and ordered dinner. My bf had a burger, and I ordered a steak- MEDIUM RARE. Well when we got our food the steak came out well done. Thankfully the waitress insisted that they make me another and let me nibble on the one in front of me. The thing I noticed was how bland it was, just beyond bland. The green beans were great, and our server was awesome, but then the second steak came and it too was almost well done. I am a huge steak lover but it was super disappointing.
(3)Dave S.
Bar area is quite fun and more vibrant than some of the other stuffy places in north scottsdale where old people just drink wine and smell their wine glasses. I would recommend if you're looking for something a little more fun.
(5)James E.
Really continue to enjoy this place. Love the beer selection and the food is always good. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Green chili pork and salmon salad just can't get any better. Couldn't ask for a better neighborhood joint.
(5)Trent F.
We are always on the look out for new pubs and craft beer kitchens. This is our new favorite in the north Scottsdale area! They have a great rotating beer list and most/all of the food is made in-house, including the ketchup! We've enjoyed the Chicken Pesto Pizza and both the Pulled Pork and the Steak sandwich. My favorite is probably the Steak Sandwich that includes a nice horseradish sauce! We'll be back again and again!
(5)Allison B.
Green monster burger and fries, my new obsession. Great selection of beers on tap and martinis!! Love the staff! Great patio when the weather is nice. TVs and football. Great Happy Hour:)

We made a special trip and are very excited to try a breakfast burrito, but they are not opening as posted. Maybe we'll try again another time :(

Went for happy hour on a Friday night. The place is extremely loud. Happy hour selection is good. The pizza was good. Overall the place was just ok.

This is a solid place to grab a burger and beer. The Tavern burger is very good and I enjoyed my Wooky Jack beer out on the patio.
(4)Richard R.
Food = Phenomenal. Ambiance = Needs improvement. Service = Very friendly, but slow and disorganized. Tavern Americana has a nice space, but it needs to be utilized much better. There's a nice open wine room that is pleasing to the eye, but other than that and a couple of TV's, there's nothing to look at. The walls are grey and plain. A few photos or paintings would do a lot for the atmosphere. The acoustics are also awful. It is loud in there. The restaurant was packed, and hostess was trying to tell us that we could wait in a small "lounge" area, and order a drink, but I could only catch every couple words she said. I know I'm getting older, but at 33 I shouldn't be freaking out that my hearing is starting to go. Service was slow, and it was obivious the servers and runners were a little over whelmed. We didn't have any major problems, but a couple of the tables around us were brought either the wrong food, or the runner couldn't tell which person ordered something sans a topping, etc. The food is great. It's a tad pricier than it feels like it should be, but the ingredients are all fresh, which makes the price very forgivable. We had the roasted chicken pizza and a tavern burger. The pizza was good, but a touch oily. The burger was also good, but it felt like it could have used something to make it special. The fries are awesome and served with a house spicy ketchup. The good news for Tavern Americana is that the flaws of the place are all fixable. Put some art on the walls, figure out a way to quiet down the background noise, and get a better system for running food. Definitely would go back.
(3)Natalie D.
Pastrami sandwich is super duper good!!! Tender, juicy, thinly sliced, very flavorful! Also had the quinoa salad which was served warm but I felt would have been better served slightly cold. Otherwise, very tasty.
(4)Laurie C.
I love this place! High quality food. Great atmosphere. Tavern Americana's pulled pork sandwich is amazing and their salads are perfect. My favorite is the apple and gorgonzola. Kid's eat free on Tuesday nights too which makes it a great place for family. I lunch here with clients and vendors because it's quiet enough to talk and there is wifi. There is a private room that is perfect for board meetings. Management is very attentive and the wait staff rocks. Try their skinny mojito as well!
(5)Jason P.
Checked out this new spot with parents and grandparents. Food was great everyone enjoyed their food. As a big beer guy I enjoyed their local and regional beer selection had a few different ones. Venue was nice modern "tavern" with a brick oven pizza set up and wine room. (It was upscale don't let tavern turn u away) Their were two private rooms one for about 12 and one larger one good for small events. It was mid summer so we did not get to enjoy the open air dining room and patio. As it was 112 I was happy to enjoy ac instead. All and all it was a great experience and I will be back. Thanks.
(5)Mike M.
Oh yeah... I like! This is a regular spot... The greens for the salads are just ... soooo good! I have had most of the lunch menu... and I would rave about most of it! The Steak Salad is my favorite... the Green Chili burger slides in second...

We randomly decided to pop into Tavern Americana after a day trip to Tucson and needed a restaurant on a Saturday night that could fit a party of six. We were able to get in no problem, since I assume people are just starting to find out about this place. My first impression was that this restaurant needed a boost in the decor department. I loved the garage door walls, but otherwise it was just gray and drab with nothing hanging on any of the walls really. Besides the decor, it was loud and bustling in the restaurant, so the overall vibe was good. After sitting down, our waitress greeted us, but it took awhile to get our drink/food order. She seemed overwhelmed and all over the place really. Once she did focus on us, she offered some suggestions and we all placed our orders. I had the beet salad and added chicken. Everyone else had different dishes, so I did get to taste some of the other items. I LOVED my salad. The grilled chicken was awesome and the beets were cooked perfectly. The salad met/exceeded all my expectations and was rather large. The Hubs had the gnocci and seemed to like it, but it was rather small. I must mention we tried to order a couple appetizers, but they were already out for the day, which was kinda sad. To top off the meal we had the cookie and apple fritters. OMG that cookie is to die for, and I consider myself a cookie connoisseur, so you can take that review to the bank... you'll love it. All and all, for a place close to home with good quality food, we will surely be back soon. Hopefully they will add something to the walls and perfect their service. If they do that, surly they'll have a winner!
(4)Kylee B.
Great ambiance. Super friendly staff. Very accommodating with food allergies. I was able to order a bunless burger and salad no problem. Even going there at 730pm on a Friday night, we were able to walk right in. We would definitely go back.
(4)jack S.
The beer selection wax slight but those they had were good, and the happy hour prices excelled. the tavern burger was geat, cooked to my specs and big and juicey. Burger and beer give me a reason to go back.
(4)Jonathon A.
very professional service and atmosphere. Went late one night after Barrett Jackson, server was very attentive, food came out quickly, no complaints. Review the menu before you go to make sure it is what you want because there is not a lot of variety. Someone vegetarian is not going to be happy here.
(4)Bryan N.
This restaurant in Scottsdale turned out to be surprisingly good, though lacked just a couple of things for me to rate it a full 5 stars. In short, the food selection was excellent, beer & wine choices aplenty, but the ambiance suffers a bit due to a very basic covering of the walls and very little sound dampening. It was very loud from neighboring tables and was hard to have our own conversation! Our server was very knowledgeable on the beer offerings (extensive), and picked out a Four Peaks Kiltlifter for me that turned out to be very good (I had never had it before). As for the food, I had the Grilled Pork Tenderloin, which is served with butternut squash puree, sauteed green beans, and warm apple compote. Very delicious! The only suggestion I have for the chef would be to add a small portion of starch, say some baby reds or mashed potatoes. Our server also agreed with this. :-) The dessert also impressed - the Cookie Dough Skillet is a large, fresh baked, warm chocolate chip cookie in an iron skillet, topped with vanilla bean ice cream. OMG this was GOOD!! With decent service, and outstanding food, I rate this 4 stars only because of the environment issues with too much noise.
(4)Laura W.
So we tried a new place for "happy hour" or in their words "happiest hour". So we look at the happy hour menu & check out their drinks and appetizers. The drinks are $4.95 BUT she tells me if I order a lemon drop martini that they only use real juice (we live in Arizona and lemons are abundant) so that will be $2 extra-ok fine. Then we order the guacamole with chips to start with and she comes back and says-avacados are expensive now so that will be an extra $2 added on (NOTE: BASHA'S is selling them 4 for $1--yikes that is expensive lol) to the $7.95 price that is on their happy hour menu. Also, when we ordered the green chili pork it comes with one tortilla that you need to tear apart and it is steaming hot when you get it. Well one wasn't enough so she asked if we wanted a second-we said sure-that's a $1 more of course. I've been to several establishments where you get unlimited amount of chips (which in essence is tortillas cut up and deep fried) with no extra charge so this is also ridiculous. Needless to say NOT going back!
(1)Trish R.
Great food and atmosphere. Plenty of TVs to watch the games. Chef Patrick Fegan and his partners of TK Urban Tavern in Scottsdale Quarter just opened this great location. Pumpkin Soup with pumpkin oil and croutons is such a great start to the Fall season. Wood fired oven pumping out flatbreads. Sweet Potato gnocchi made in house with roasted corn and gorgonzola crema is unbelievable. Very impressive selection of beer handles and delicious cocktails. Amazing view of the sunset as well. Can't wait to return.
(5)Ryan C.
Had the roasted chicken. It was juicy, and the whole plate, spinach, onions, and polenta(don't even know what that is but fantastic). Some items from tks. Which I love. Not too loud, good lighting. I need to see my food. Timing was FAST. In at 6:58, food out by 7:05. Not kidding. Def coming back.
(5)Chase R.
Service was very nice and the sweet potato gnocchi was fantastic. Don't forget the cookie dough skillet if you feel no shame. :)
(5)Shelby S.
Really hate to have to have to come edit my review after moving into the area this was my boyfriend and I's favorite hang out spot. However, we went the other day for happy hour and our Montana drivers license were denied because they appeared to be fake by the owner. My family and I own our own restaurants and I understand the position he was in. But how he handled the situation was absolutely uncalled for and rather embarassing on his part. Very rude. He informed us that he went to college in Missoula, Montana and he knows for a fact that Montana drivers license do not look like ours did. Little did he know, in the past five years they have changed their appearance. I will never go back in there, nor will I ever recommend this place to anybody. After this, we weren't even waited on for the rest of the time there. No drink refills, no nothing. I don't recommend anybody supporting such an operation ran as poorly as this one.
(1)Nina S.
It is not the menu or the food, but the service that may be downfall at this new neighborhood place. We sat at the bar (which is usual for us) and the bartenders were more interested in chating with friends than to make sure we were happy with our meal. We were going to order dessert but as soon as the plates were taken, the bartender presented us with the tab. Too bad, we walked over to Local Bistro and had dessert there. May come back but with some many other good places that have opened up lately (Soul Cafe, Isabella's, etc.), it might be a while before we return.
(2)P S.
Love going to Tavern Americana. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is great. Food is great! Try the pizza, it's awesome.
(4)Lindsay G.
We stumbled into this place after finding the doors at The Grind locked....what a fantastic surprise. Organic and local ingredients, a great craft beer selection and an owner/chef who was a delight to chat with. We just moved to the neighborhood and having a place like this with some healthy options is a huge plus for us!
(5)T V.
Great menu, had lunch and it was a home run! Going back today as we have a list of items we can't wait to try. They are a great addition to the area. We ordered the hamburger with pablano peppers comes with wonderful fries and homemade ketchup and the pulled pork sandwich. Both simple items but they were inspired and done well. Major yum. All items coming out if the kitchen looked fabulous. Only downside, if you're a desert person not much of a choice on the menu, but maybe that's a good thing
(4)Mike S.
Good restaurant, tables a bit close together, but cool layout and good food.
(4)Katie L.
I was so excited to try this restaurant, and it didn't disappoint. This used to be the old Irish pub style bar, this place feels anything but old now. The decor feels modern but warm and very open and airy. The wine selection was very well priced and had a great selection. I had the Pinot Gris ($ 6.00 a glass) nice! There was three of us in our party each had a different dish, I had the pulled pork, they had the steak w/risotto and tenderloin. We all cleaned our plates enough said. They do not have a happy hour "yet" we were told. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. Can't wait to try this place again. Love, love!
(5)Dale H.
Ok second review but just had to write this, dropped in during shopping mania, two beers and tacos, tacos, the crane asana and the mahi mahi. Simple, perfect, tasty and perfect It really doesn't get better
(5)Andrea B.
Enjoyed so much I went 2x in one week!! Gnocchi .... Yum
(4)Susan C.
The previous reviews of this restaurant were mixed so it was a nice surprise we found it quite nice. The menu is basic but very good. The wait staff friendly and accommodating and the price is right. We were there early on a Sunday evening so it wasn't very crowded. If you sit near the outdoor patio they have heaters that are turned on after sunset. The only thing I would mention is -- they have a number of television sets scattered throughout so it gives a "sport bar" look at first sight. If there was a big game and lots of people I'm sure the atmosphere would have been quite different. It was not this way the night we went -- we could actually hear each other talk !!! :-)
(4)Ellen P.
Maybe needs more time? Loud. Very loud, and I'm not old. Service was pretty good. Tried the pumpkin soup because of the raves on this site. It was just okay. Also tried the mac and cheese with bacon, which was very soupy. The meat pizza was greasy and didn't have a crispy crust. Unfortunately, no one asked us how our meal was. Kind of unusual for a new restaurant. Maybe they need to work out the kinks. Will probably give it another chance in a month or two.
(2)Adriana G.
We went here mainly to attend the Art Revolution day class on Saturday. The class was FANTASTIC!!! We stayed to have lunch afterwards and what a wonderful surprise. I had the pork chili and asked for tortilla chips instead of the flour tortilla it normally comes with. Little did I know, they make their own tortilla chips (just like my mom used to). Even some of the best Mexican restaurants don't do that! It was a real treat!!! The chili was also fantastic and so was my daughter's mac & cheese. Staff is super friendly and made me wine spritzers exactly the way I wanted them, with the wine chosen from the wine list. A big pet peeve of mine is stale lemons or limes in my drink. But, nope, I could tell that lemon in my wine spritzer was freshly cut, seeds removed, and exactly how I like it. I'm the type of person who would never complain if it wasn't exactly right so it was such a pleasure to get it exactly how I like without any pretention that I want it that way. Would go back in a heartbeat!!!

We dropped in last night for dinner. No idea where we were- just hungry. Our local companion told me that this restaurant had recently been reincarnated from a former irish pub . There is no decor or theme- it must be a work in progress. There is a hostess at the entry but it was hit-or-miss as to who was our waiter/server/bar waiter. They might have been short handed. Drinks were ordered. Drinks got delivered. Great cocktails ! We ordered dinner and each entre proved to far surpass my expectations. I had a perfectly grilled thick fillet with risotto and mushrooms. Wonderful. We also had a grilled salmon and a thick cut pork chop. All were equally delicious and attractively plated. I would enjoy returning for a meal or drinks here any time. Four stars for ambience still in progress.
(4)Richard S.
went two nights ago. Upcharge for Martini was $2.00 for Smirnoff bringing it to $8.00. Salmon was the salty side of the Great Salt Lake or the Dead Sea. Worst we have ever had despite the manager saying it was the best. Green chile was good but again salty. My wift threw up upon getting home. Will not return. The $15.00 coupon was not worth it.
(1)Barb F.
We were very impressed with this new Resturant. It was very well decorated with excellent lighting. We sat at the bar and had a few drinks then ordered the French fries with their own ketchup, it was amazing! The bartender was very helpful. We are going back tomorrow for lunch. Great addition to the Grayhawk area.
(5)John T.
We happened to be in the area on a Saturday night and decided to give this restaurant a try. It was a very good choice. They offer both patio and restaurant seating, with large garage doors that open to bring the patio inside. They have an extensive bar with many beers on tap. The menu is diverse from pizza to burgers. We decided to try their burgers. They offer two different ones. One is the "green monster," a green chili cheeseburger, served on a fresh potato bun. You have a choice of a side salad or fries. The burger was cooked perfectly to the med-rare, as ordered. The fries were hand cut with the skins on,and fresh. The burgers use organic fresh beef. The service was efficient and friendly. The restaurant offered two dinner special, including salmon. They offer several wood stove pizzas, from their open oven. We would definitely return to try the pizza next time...
(4)Shelliy C.
We hosted 50 people here for dinner before the Phoenix Open concert and it was wonderful. Christine was great, staff was awesome and clients were happy! Thank you - we will be back soon!
(5)Crystal L.
We recently visited this place on a Saturday night and it was so-so. The food seemed overpriced for what you get and the pizza was average at best. We ordered a pear salad with chicken to start and it was very small for the $12 price. It had good flavor but not worth the money. The wood fired pizza was bland and small. The one positive was the bartender was really efficient and nice, and even though the kitchen messed up the food order, he offered to get me a glass of wine to make up for the error. I really appreciated the good service and he corrected the mistake quickly. I may stop back in to try the burgers but for pizza, no chance.
(3)The Hill F.
The food is fantastic, the service is equally good, and the prices are good too. We go there all the time and every experience has been great. One of the best restaurants around. Everything about it is 5 stars.
(5)A B.
Solid food and service. Both owners have extensive food and beverage experience and it shows in their menu and service. There are plenty of TV's to watch your favourite game. Had the three little pigs and chicken pesto pizza from the wood fired oven and they were delicious. I highly recommend this place to get out of the house.
(4)john g.
The pulled port sandwich and green chili stew are are great along with the excellent bar staff give this five stars - one for the drab space. Great draft beer selection!
(4)Paula M.
We've been here 3 times and the food has been very good every time. We really like their green chili pork appetizer. The steak salad and pizzas are also very good. They have great happy hours too. Will be back again!
(5)Allie S.
Really enjoy this place for cocktails. There are some really tasty ones on their list. Matt at the bar is awesome! If you feel like being adventuresome he'll make you anything you want and if he doesn't know the recipe he'll look it up for you! And there ain't nothin wrong with bacon loaded mac n cheese!
(5)Derek S.
Went here as a group and we all had a good time. They had live music which was a plus. Wife had the NY steak which she said was great and I tried the Green Monster off of a recommendation and thought it was good but not stellar. The rest of the group also seemed pleased with their choices. Overall, food and service was good and we'll be back to check out more.
(4)Yelp E.
My husband and I took our four year old there last night. It was our first time dining there. We didn't eat super extravagantly but the price was a little extravagant. While they are super kid friendly and have a lot of options for kids' food, my daughter ate for $10.95, which seemed a little high. For a four dollar applejuice, I would have expected for it to be spiked with a little rum or alcohol-- $4 dollars for a kids' drink?!?The food was not terrible but it was not terribly remarkable, either. We ordered pita and hummus as an appetizer. There wasn't anything special about the hummus. The pita, however was super fresh and pillowy. I ordered the tricolored quinoa salad with a piece of salmon on top. The salad and salmon were a little bland. My husband order the 'hold the tomato' white pizza and said it was very good. We were very satisfied with our service. The atmosphere is super pleasant and the waitstaff was awesome. Overall, their menu is limited and small and food is pricey. Will try again but not in any hurry to go back.

Amazing atmosphere, fantastic menu and wine/beer/cocktail selection. We had the Pumpkin Soup (superb) and salmon salad and pizza with the apple fritters for dessert. So jazzed to have a great American rest in the area. Shocking how poorly run the service staff were.....they were indifferent, borderline snotty and inefficient. Had to ask for utensils, salt and pepper, water, drinks etc. We asked for parm cheese for the pizza and the waitress actually brought us an empty cheese clear shaker. We ate dinner at 8pm and even though the rest was half full, the young wait staff were breaking down everything for the night. When we left we literally had to walk past the chef, manager and lead waitstaff having a meeting at the exit area and no one said goodbye, thank you, hope you enjoyed your meal etc. I had to say thank you to them and they looked annoyed to be interrupted. To make it in this town you have to have more than great food and atmosphere........Service, Service, Service ( and I am not talking fawning/fake/over attentive service.....I am talking decent hello, thank you and caring about the customer vs hiring young and beautiful people type service.)

Lure in the premium craft beer drinkers with a good list but then shove them away when those beers are excluded on the happy hour. In all honesty they might as well just not have a HH if they're going to make it so obvious that they just want the full price folks. They have a great list of craft beers, but only Coors light and Coors' Blue Moon are beers listed on the happy hour. And then for spirits, it's the low quality options like Cuervo Gold, JW Red, etc. that are discounted. Yes this is a high rent area with a wealthy local customer base, so why not just omit the happy hour altogether? Alternatives for happy hour just head over to City North or Desert Ridge and get those same beers on HH because this place doesn't want (need?) your business. More generally, they've vastly improved the atmosphere over the Irish bar that went out of business in the same location. It has a more upscale feel, good presentation of food, and our service was very good on this occasion. Nothing to rave about with the food, nor necessarily critique either. Food pricing is within normal range for the area. Parking is good due to the shared strip mall & grocery store parking.

Good burgers, great green chile pork and fries! Organic greens, nice neighborhood spot with patio, service can be hit or miss...
(4)Cara G.
I've only tried this place once, but can't wait to go back and try more of the local favorite menu items. I hear the happy hour is great.

First of all they are in Scottsdale.....you can't charge $13 for a burger made from Ground Chuck....that's the worst meat out there and it costs under a dollar a pound at the store! Second - premium liquors are NOT Cuervo and Smirnoff! Pizza was ok but could use more INGREDIENTS for what they charge! The decor Inside makes it Feel cold and unfinished! Soooo disappointed! :(

This restaurant in Scottsdale turned out to be surprisingly good, though lacked just a couple of things for me to rate it a full 5 stars. In short, the food selection was excellent, beer & wine choices aplenty, but the ambiance suffers a bit due to a very basic covering of the walls and very little sound dampening. It was very loud from neighboring tables and was hard to have our own conversation! Our server was very knowledgeable on the beer offerings (extensive), and picked out a Four Peaks Kiltlifter for me that turned out to be very good (I had never had it before). As for the food, I had the Grilled Pork Tenderloin, which is served with butternut squash puree, sauteed green beans, and warm apple compote. Very delicious! The only suggestion I have for the chef would be to add a small portion of starch, say some baby reds or mashed potatoes. Our server also agreed with this. :-) The dessert also impressed - the Cookie Dough Skillet is a large, fresh baked, warm chocolate chip cookie in an iron skillet, topped with vanilla bean ice cream. OMG this was GOOD!! With decent service, and outstanding food, I rate this 4 stars only because of the environment issues with too much noise.

So we tried a new place for "happy hour" or in their words "happiest hour". So we look at the happy hour menu & check out their drinks and appetizers. The drinks are $4.95 BUT she tells me if I order a lemon drop martini that they only use real juice (we live in Arizona and lemons are abundant) so that will be $2 extra-ok fine. Then we order the guacamole with chips to start with and she comes back and says-avacados are expensive now so that will be an extra $2 added on (NOTE: BASHA'S is selling them 4 for $1--yikes that is expensive lol) to the $7.95 price that is on their happy hour menu. Also, when we ordered the green chili pork it comes with one tortilla that you need to tear apart and it is steaming hot when you get it. Well one wasn't enough so she asked if we wanted a second-we said sure-that's a $1 more of course. I've been to several establishments where you get unlimited amount of chips (which in essence is tortillas cut up and deep fried) with no extra charge so this is also ridiculous. Needless to say NOT going back!

Great Happy hour! Above the norm typical happy hour bar food: The green chili pork was amazing - so tender with just the right amount of spice! We also ordered a delish vegetarian pizza with roasted corn, mushrooms, red peppers, and more. Typically happy hour pizza's are small and just barely enough for one person, but this pizza was huge - actually took it home and had it for lunch the next day. The serving sizes are really generous - especially for happy hour - such a rarity! Service was great - server was personable and quick. The dining room is loud....extremely loud. They have hardwood floors and open ceilings, so nothing to absorb the sound. Thinking once summer is over and they open the patio doors it will be at a more acceptable level. So keep in mind if you don't want to shout across the table! Can't wait to come back and try the gnocchi - which I hear is amazing!

1st visit. Mid Sunday afternoon before heading to the airport. Big upgrade from O'Donoghue's, previously at this location. Very good tap beer menu. House made hummus w/ pita, fresh made and hot from the oven. Fabulous. The Green Monster burger was very good, high quality Niman beef. Excellent service (Matthew). Comfortable atmosphere. Plenty of TV screens in the bar for sports fans. Convenient location for Grayhawk residents
(4)Scott C.
I love this place. Friendly bartenders, solid beer selection, and really above the board bar food. The green Chile pork is a must, and the burgers are great. Wood fired pizza is worth a try too. Great bar atmosphere. Hang out and have fun!
(4)Kyle S.
Stopped in for a late lunch on afternoon. Brought the kiddo. The place was empty save for a few bar flies. The Mac and cheese for the kiddo was amazing. He loved and and so did we. The pizza while good intentioned was below average. The quality of the toppings was low. Especially the pepperoni. It's weird to spend so much money on decor and ambiance and than try to save pennies on cheap pepperoni. No one comes back for pepperoni that curls up. Cmon. Had a couple other dishes and everything was just ho-Hum. The server/bartender was friendly and accommodating. An awkward interaction was happening right at the front door for a while between their chef and a manager. Deft a conversation to have in the back out of earshot of the guests. They have to figure some things out for sure. Make decisions that benefit and improve the guests experience. Focus on making dollars not saving pennies.
(2)David G.
Ok I feel really bad posting this. Looks like another restaurant is about ready to bite the dust. Walked in this evening for dinner. Could not get past the smell. You all know the smell of a restaurant almost ready to close. They cut down/out on maintenance. Stop cleaning the grease trap and their floors. The people that work they are so nice. We had a drink and left. Sorry sorry.
(1)Michael M.
Holly was very nice, knew what to recommend and was very attentive. The drinks were phenomenal: Maker's Mark Manhattan, The Western Rye to die for. Try the Chipotle, it's a must. Loved the Yukon Gold Gnocchi and Salmon Filet get 5 stars. Will definitely go back.
(4)Erni M.
Happy to see this addition to neighborhood. We started with pork green chili appetizer. Very good! Noted as a house favorite and I see why. Pastrami sandwich is another favorite and it was excellent. Not huge as many are. Just excellent. Mushroom pizza had way too many mushrooms on It. Good pizza. Would pick a different flavor. Overbearing. Good selection of wine by glass. But I think I got one opened one too many days. Unfortunately too many restaurants do this. Especially when manager of it is not a wine drinker. Still overall happy for this addition to neighborhood.
(4)Allison F.
Solid food and service. I like that they use all locally grown products. We came on a weekday and it wasn't that busy at all. I assume it gets way more hectic at night. The outdoor seating was pleasant. My only complaint is that the food took awhile to come out, but the quality was good.
(4)Ernest lee S.
Here for Thursday Night Fried Chicken Dinner. They ran out last week, but we won't miss this week. Let you know how it is. Just finished. Fantastic. The crust on the chicken makes your mouth water for the next bite. Fresh corn off the cob and the coleslaw are excellent compliment's to the meal.
(5)Nicole B.
Overall rating: 3.5 Stars In short, the food was good but compared to other restaurants in the area, it could be better. I came here on a business lunch with co-workers. When we arrived, there were only one or two other tables with customers and the place seemed pretty dead. Not sure if it was because we were here around 11:30am and the lunch rush hadn't picked up or what. This worked in our favor since our waiter was very attentive and the service was fast and efficient. I liked the inside as it was very open and had plenty of seating. There was a lot of wood, which looked nice. It reminded me of an upscale tavern, which is what I was expecting. Even the bathroom was nicely decorated and had ample room in the stalls. For lunch, my boss ordered the Diablo Chicken Pasta, which had a very spicy and creamy sauce with chicken and bacon. He said it was very good and it looked delicious. Another co-worker ordered a Green Monster burger and I ordered the Western burger. I normally enjoy a medium-rare burger, but since I've never ordered a burger from this place previously and had no idea how they cook their burgers, I went with medium. My co-worker risked it and went medium-rare. When our burgers arrived, both were cooked about the same. (Mainly medium, leaning a little towards medium-rare. The burger itself was flavorful and the fries were pretty good. By the time we finished our meal, only one other table filled up and this was an elderly couple. It was crazy to see a place so dead during a weekday at lunchtime. Overall, while the food was good, I don't know if I'd come back. I say this only because it is located in a shopping plaza with several other restaurants that I really love. Thus, if I was in the area, I would choose those restaurants first. However, their happy hour does look pretty good and I might give it another chance.

Monday happy hour is AWESOME! Great food and service is excellent.

My son and I love this place! Pork Stew and Tims Chicken Wing Pizza rock. Ryan and Matt behind the bar always treat us outstanding?

We made it out to Tavern Americana because we purchased a Groupon for Art Revolution Tonight painting class that actually takes places inside of their location. We went early just so we could sit and eat here since it was new to us. Luckily, we made it for happy hour, which runs til 7 p.m. (great news since the art class starts at 6:30 p.m. and you can grab up a drink or two while painting). We ordered the Mac & Cheese appetizer off of the happy hour menu which was around $5 and normally is about $8 - decent savings. It was very good. We forgot to request the optional bacon in it, so we will give that a go next time! It was delicious with out it though. For main course I had the Western Burger and my fiancee had the Pulled Pork Sandwich. Both of the buns were a touch dry - but the meat on both sandwiches was very nicely done. The coleslaw on the pulled pork was a touch too tart for him, but if you like more tart coleslaw this may be right up your alley. We could NOT pass up a chance to try the baked cookie skillet with ice cream a la mode. It was well worth it. Overall: A Grab up an Art Revolution Tonight Groupon with Violet and eat at the Tavern. Excellent date night!
(4)Dave N.
My wife and I love to come here. I'm giving this place a 4 star only because the last two times the service wasn't as good. As for the food I have zero complaints and their salmon is by far my favorite in the valley!
(4)Alex B.
The manager, Ryan, was exceptional. We went in to watch the Blackhawks game and decided we wanted to more of a "Chicago" bar. We hadn't ordered a thing and Ryan was more than happy to not only find a bar (since we are new to the are) but he actually called and made a reservation for us. We will definitely be back to Tavern Americana because of the amazing customer service!!
(5)Wendy B.
Very good food at this restaurant, but the lunchtime service needs some work. We went here for lunch on a Thursday around noon and there were only two servers working. Although the restaurant was generally quiet at this time, it took a moment to get seated because the host was running around like he was busy. Once we got seated we had our servers attention until the lunch rush happened; at which point we had to wait 20 minutes between the time we finished our lunch, to the time we actually got up to find him and pay our bill. I think the restraint just needs some more time to figure out staffing for the lunch rush.
(3)Shane M.
We live nearby and eat here on a regular basis. The green chili pork appetizer is delicious and I love the steak salad. Good value for quality and a nice atmosphere.
(5)Michael K.
Top of the line craft beer selection, fantastic menu options, great decor & awesome patio seating. Can't go wrong here...the management is seriously on their game!
(5)Katie K.
Strongly recommend. All fresh and delicious. Had the green chilli pork off the starter menu and it was fanomanal. Simple salad was the best salad I have ever had. The burger was amazing and cooked perfectly. The fries are delicious. The beer selection is superb. The live music was great. Chris C was our server and probably the best service I have ever had. Overall 6 Stars if that was possible. Get the extra star because everything is made in house and comes from local vendors. A must dine place.
(5)Justin S.
I love this restaurant. I eat lunch here at least once every week. Only criticism is that they need to change up the menu a bit. A must try.
(5)Troy F.
We are new to Scottsdale (from LA) and this has quickly become one of our favorites. It's hard to find a restaurant with quality food, great adult beverages, and an atmosphere that enables you to bring young children along (4 and 18 months). Service is very warm and attentive. In fact, the manager came over and encouraged us to come back. He stated that Tavern wants to be a comfortable, neighborhood spot. They are this, but with class and a great menu. This isn't fine dining, but great quality food that dresses up or down comfortably.
(5)Morgan E.
I'm torn here. We went on a tuesday night for dinner before going to a movie. I noticed the "green monster" burger and googled to find out it was a second location of TKs in Scottsdale Quarter, who's food I have found to be bland at best the many times I have visited. The hostess was spacy and very "scottsdale"- no smile, no emotions, just looked at us dead faced and sat us on the patio and stomped off. Our server, however, was amazing. We got two White Rascals and ordered dinner. My bf had a burger, and I ordered a steak- MEDIUM RARE. Well when we got our food the steak came out well done. Thankfully the waitress insisted that they make me another and let me nibble on the one in front of me. The thing I noticed was how bland it was, just beyond bland. The green beans were great, and our server was awesome, but then the second steak came and it too was almost well done. I am a huge steak lover but it was super disappointing.
(3)Dave S.
Bar area is quite fun and more vibrant than some of the other stuffy places in north scottsdale where old people just drink wine and smell their wine glasses. I would recommend if you're looking for something a little more fun.
(5)Chris M.
Great service, wonderful food and a great draft selection. I was ecstatic to find an upscale pub so close to home. Their ingredients are usually local, and their bartenders know what they are talking about. Fantastic experience.
(5)James E.
Really continue to enjoy this place. Love the beer selection and the food is always good. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Green chili pork and salmon salad just can't get any better. Couldn't ask for a better neighborhood joint.
(5)Trent F.
We are always on the look out for new pubs and craft beer kitchens. This is our new favorite in the north Scottsdale area! They have a great rotating beer list and most/all of the food is made in-house, including the ketchup! We've enjoyed the Chicken Pesto Pizza and both the Pulled Pork and the Steak sandwich. My favorite is probably the Steak Sandwich that includes a nice horseradish sauce! We'll be back again and again!
(5)Allison B.
Green monster burger and fries, my new obsession. Great selection of beers on tap and martinis!! Love the staff! Great patio when the weather is nice. TVs and football. Great Happy Hour:)

We made a special trip and are very excited to try a breakfast burrito, but they are not opening as posted. Maybe we'll try again another time :(

Went for happy hour on a Friday night. The place is extremely loud. Happy hour selection is good. The pizza was good. Overall the place was just ok.

This is a solid place to grab a burger and beer. The Tavern burger is very good and I enjoyed my Wooky Jack beer out on the patio.
(4)Richard R.
Food = Phenomenal. Ambiance = Needs improvement. Service = Very friendly, but slow and disorganized. Tavern Americana has a nice space, but it needs to be utilized much better. There's a nice open wine room that is pleasing to the eye, but other than that and a couple of TV's, there's nothing to look at. The walls are grey and plain. A few photos or paintings would do a lot for the atmosphere. The acoustics are also awful. It is loud in there. The restaurant was packed, and hostess was trying to tell us that we could wait in a small "lounge" area, and order a drink, but I could only catch every couple words she said. I know I'm getting older, but at 33 I shouldn't be freaking out that my hearing is starting to go. Service was slow, and it was obivious the servers and runners were a little over whelmed. We didn't have any major problems, but a couple of the tables around us were brought either the wrong food, or the runner couldn't tell which person ordered something sans a topping, etc. The food is great. It's a tad pricier than it feels like it should be, but the ingredients are all fresh, which makes the price very forgivable. We had the roasted chicken pizza and a tavern burger. The pizza was good, but a touch oily. The burger was also good, but it felt like it could have used something to make it special. The fries are awesome and served with a house spicy ketchup. The good news for Tavern Americana is that the flaws of the place are all fixable. Put some art on the walls, figure out a way to quiet down the background noise, and get a better system for running food. Definitely would go back.
(3)Teri S.
Really terrific menu. Steak, pasta, salads, seafood, pizza and more! Signature chipotle shrimp boat is to die for! Great atmosphere, great friendly service, located in the heart of Beautiful North Scottsdale in Grayhawk.
(5)Natalie D.
Pastrami sandwich is super duper good!!! Tender, juicy, thinly sliced, very flavorful! Also had the quinoa salad which was served warm but I felt would have been better served slightly cold. Otherwise, very tasty.
(4)Laurie C.
I love this place! High quality food. Great atmosphere. Tavern Americana's pulled pork sandwich is amazing and their salads are perfect. My favorite is the apple and gorgonzola. Kid's eat free on Tuesday nights too which makes it a great place for family. I lunch here with clients and vendors because it's quiet enough to talk and there is wifi. There is a private room that is perfect for board meetings. Management is very attentive and the wait staff rocks. Try their skinny mojito as well!
(5)Jason P.
Checked out this new spot with parents and grandparents. Food was great everyone enjoyed their food. As a big beer guy I enjoyed their local and regional beer selection had a few different ones. Venue was nice modern "tavern" with a brick oven pizza set up and wine room. (It was upscale don't let tavern turn u away) Their were two private rooms one for about 12 and one larger one good for small events. It was mid summer so we did not get to enjoy the open air dining room and patio. As it was 112 I was happy to enjoy ac instead. All and all it was a great experience and I will be back. Thanks.
(5)Mike M.
Oh yeah... I like! This is a regular spot... The greens for the salads are just ... soooo good! I have had most of the lunch menu... and I would rave about most of it! The Steak Salad is my favorite... the Green Chili burger slides in second...
(5)Tori B.
We randomly decided to pop into Tavern Americana after a day trip to Tucson and needed a restaurant on a Saturday night that could fit a party of six. We were able to get in no problem, since I assume people are just starting to find out about this place. My first impression was that this restaurant needed a boost in the decor department. I loved the garage door walls, but otherwise it was just gray and drab with nothing hanging on any of the walls really. Besides the decor, it was loud and bustling in the restaurant, so the overall vibe was good. After sitting down, our waitress greeted us, but it took awhile to get our drink/food order. She seemed overwhelmed and all over the place really. Once she did focus on us, she offered some suggestions and we all placed our orders. I had the beet salad and added chicken. Everyone else had different dishes, so I did get to taste some of the other items. I LOVED my salad. The grilled chicken was awesome and the beets were cooked perfectly. The salad met/exceeded all my expectations and was rather large. The Hubs had the gnocci and seemed to like it, but it was rather small. I must mention we tried to order a couple appetizers, but they were already out for the day, which was kinda sad. To top off the meal we had the cookie and apple fritters. OMG that cookie is to die for, and I consider myself a cookie connoisseur, so you can take that review to the bank... you'll love it. All and all, for a place close to home with good quality food, we will surely be back soon. Hopefully they will add something to the walls and perfect their service. If they do that, surly they'll have a winner!
(4)Kylee B.
Great ambiance. Super friendly staff. Very accommodating with food allergies. I was able to order a bunless burger and salad no problem. Even going there at 730pm on a Friday night, we were able to walk right in. We would definitely go back.
(4)jack S.
The beer selection wax slight but those they had were good, and the happy hour prices excelled. the tavern burger was geat, cooked to my specs and big and juicey. Burger and beer give me a reason to go back.
(4)Jonathon A.
very professional service and atmosphere. Went late one night after Barrett Jackson, server was very attentive, food came out quickly, no complaints. Review the menu before you go to make sure it is what you want because there is not a lot of variety. Someone vegetarian is not going to be happy here.
(4)Ciera S.
We had a birthday party here with about 25 people, it was perfect. They were very attentive and accommodating. All the food was tasty and the drinks were cold. It was a great evening and would recommend it to others looking for a party venue.
(5)Allie S.
Really enjoy this place for cocktails. There are some really tasty ones on their list. Matt at the bar is awesome! If you feel like being adventuresome he'll make you anything you want and if he doesn't know the recipe he'll look it up for you! And there ain't nothin wrong with bacon loaded mac n cheese!
(5)Derek S.
Went here as a group and we all had a good time. They had live music which was a plus. Wife had the NY steak which she said was great and I tried the Green Monster off of a recommendation and thought it was good but not stellar. The rest of the group also seemed pleased with their choices. Overall, food and service was good and we'll be back to check out more.

Great food and atmosphere. Plenty of TVs to watch the games. Chef Patrick Fegan and his partners of TK Urban Tavern in Scottsdale Quarter just opened this great location. Pumpkin Soup with pumpkin oil and croutons is such a great start to the Fall season. Wood fired oven pumping out flatbreads. Sweet Potato gnocchi made in house with roasted corn and gorgonzola crema is unbelievable. Very impressive selection of beer handles and delicious cocktails. Amazing view of the sunset as well. Can't wait to return.
(5)Ryan C.
Had the roasted chicken. It was juicy, and the whole plate, spinach, onions, and polenta(don't even know what that is but fantastic). Some items from tks. Which I love. Not too loud, good lighting. I need to see my food. Timing was FAST. In at 6:58, food out by 7:05. Not kidding. Def coming back.
(5)Chase R.
Service was very nice and the sweet potato gnocchi was fantastic. Don't forget the cookie dough skillet if you feel no shame. :)
(5)Shelby S.
Really hate to have to have to come edit my review after moving into the area this was my boyfriend and I's favorite hang out spot. However, we went the other day for happy hour and our Montana drivers license were denied because they appeared to be fake by the owner. My family and I own our own restaurants and I understand the position he was in. But how he handled the situation was absolutely uncalled for and rather embarassing on his part. Very rude. He informed us that he went to college in Missoula, Montana and he knows for a fact that Montana drivers license do not look like ours did. Little did he know, in the past five years they have changed their appearance. I will never go back in there, nor will I ever recommend this place to anybody. After this, we weren't even waited on for the rest of the time there. No drink refills, no nothing. I don't recommend anybody supporting such an operation ran as poorly as this one.
(1)Nina S.
It is not the menu or the food, but the service that may be downfall at this new neighborhood place. We sat at the bar (which is usual for us) and the bartenders were more interested in chating with friends than to make sure we were happy with our meal. We were going to order dessert but as soon as the plates were taken, the bartender presented us with the tab. Too bad, we walked over to Local Bistro and had dessert there. May come back but with some many other good places that have opened up lately (Soul Cafe, Isabella's, etc.), it might be a while before we return.
(2)P S.
Love going to Tavern Americana. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is great. Food is great! Try the pizza, it's awesome.
(4)Lindsay G.
We stumbled into this place after finding the doors at The Grind locked....what a fantastic surprise. Organic and local ingredients, a great craft beer selection and an owner/chef who was a delight to chat with. We just moved to the neighborhood and having a place like this with some healthy options is a huge plus for us!
(5)Barb F.
We were very impressed with this new Resturant. It was very well decorated with excellent lighting. We sat at the bar and had a few drinks then ordered the French fries with their own ketchup, it was amazing! The bartender was very helpful. We are going back tomorrow for lunch. Great addition to the Grayhawk area.
(5)John T.
We happened to be in the area on a Saturday night and decided to give this restaurant a try. It was a very good choice. They offer both patio and restaurant seating, with large garage doors that open to bring the patio inside. They have an extensive bar with many beers on tap. The menu is diverse from pizza to burgers. We decided to try their burgers. They offer two different ones. One is the "green monster," a green chili cheeseburger, served on a fresh potato bun. You have a choice of a side salad or fries. The burger was cooked perfectly to the med-rare, as ordered. The fries were hand cut with the skins on,and fresh. The burgers use organic fresh beef. The service was efficient and friendly. The restaurant offered two dinner special, including salmon. They offer several wood stove pizzas, from their open oven. We would definitely return to try the pizza next time...

We hosted 50 people here for dinner before the Phoenix Open concert and it was wonderful. Christine was great, staff was awesome and clients were happy! Thank you - we will be back soon!
(5)The Hill F.
The food is fantastic, the service is equally good, and the prices are good too. We go there all the time and every experience has been great. One of the best restaurants around. Everything about it is 5 stars.
(5)Crystal L.
We recently visited this place on a Saturday night and it was so-so. The food seemed overpriced for what you get and the pizza was average at best. We ordered a pear salad with chicken to start and it was very small for the $12 price. It had good flavor but not worth the money. The wood fired pizza was bland and small. The one positive was the bartender was really efficient and nice, and even though the kitchen messed up the food order, he offered to get me a glass of wine to make up for the error. I really appreciated the good service and he corrected the mistake quickly. I may stop back in to try the burgers but for pizza, no chance.

Solid food and service. Both owners have extensive food and beverage experience and it shows in their menu and service. There are plenty of TV's to watch your favourite game. Had the three little pigs and chicken pesto pizza from the wood fired oven and they were delicious. I highly recommend this place to get out of the house.

The pulled port sandwich and green chili stew are are great along with the excellent bar staff give this five stars - one for the drab space. Great draft beer selection!

Great menu, had lunch and it was a home run! Going back today as we have a list of items we can't wait to try. They are a great addition to the area. We ordered the hamburger with pablano peppers comes with wonderful fries and homemade ketchup and the pulled pork sandwich. Both simple items but they were inspired and done well. Major yum. All items coming out if the kitchen looked fabulous. Only downside, if you're a desert person not much of a choice on the menu, but maybe that's a good thing

Good restaurant, tables a bit close together, but cool layout and good food.

I was so excited to try this restaurant, and it didn't disappoint. This used to be the old Irish pub style bar, this place feels anything but old now. The decor feels modern but warm and very open and airy. The wine selection was very well priced and had a great selection. I had the Pinot Gris ($ 6.00 a glass) nice! There was three of us in our party each had a different dish, I had the pulled pork, they had the steak w/risotto and tenderloin. We all cleaned our plates enough said. They do not have a happy hour "yet" we were told. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. Can't wait to try this place again. Love, love!

The previous reviews of this restaurant were mixed so it was a nice surprise we found it quite nice. The menu is basic but very good. The wait staff friendly and accommodating and the price is right. We were there early on a Sunday evening so it wasn't very crowded. If you sit near the outdoor patio they have heaters that are turned on after sunset. The only thing I would mention is -- they have a number of television sets scattered throughout so it gives a "sport bar" look at first sight. If there was a big game and lots of people I'm sure the atmosphere would have been quite different. It was not this way the night we went -- we could actually hear each other talk !!! :-)

Maybe needs more time? Loud. Very loud, and I'm not old. Service was pretty good. Tried the pumpkin soup because of the raves on this site. It was just okay. Also tried the mac and cheese with bacon, which was very soupy. The meat pizza was greasy and didn't have a crispy crust. Unfortunately, no one asked us how our meal was. Kind of unusual for a new restaurant. Maybe they need to work out the kinks. Will probably give it another chance in a month or two.

We went here mainly to attend the Art Revolution day class on Saturday. The class was FANTASTIC!!! We stayed to have lunch afterwards and what a wonderful surprise. I had the pork chili and asked for tortilla chips instead of the flour tortilla it normally comes with. Little did I know, they make their own tortilla chips (just like my mom used to). Even some of the best Mexican restaurants don't do that! It was a real treat!!! The chili was also fantastic and so was my daughter's mac & cheese. Staff is super friendly and made me wine spritzers exactly the way I wanted them, with the wine chosen from the wine list. A big pet peeve of mine is stale lemons or limes in my drink. But, nope, I could tell that lemon in my wine spritzer was freshly cut, seeds removed, and exactly how I like it. I'm the type of person who would never complain if it wasn't exactly right so it was such a pleasure to get it exactly how I like without any pretention that I want it that way. Would go back in a heartbeat!!!

We dropped in last night for dinner. No idea where we were- just hungry. Our local companion told me that this restaurant had recently been reincarnated from a former irish pub . There is no decor or theme- it must be a work in progress. There is a hostess at the entry but it was hit-or-miss as to who was our waiter/server/bar waiter. They might have been short handed. Drinks were ordered. Drinks got delivered. Great cocktails ! We ordered dinner and each entre proved to far surpass my expectations. I had a perfectly grilled thick fillet with risotto and mushrooms. Wonderful. We also had a grilled salmon and a thick cut pork chop. All were equally delicious and attractively plated. I would enjoy returning for a meal or drinks here any time. Four stars for ambience still in progress.

went two nights ago. Upcharge for Martini was $2.00 for Smirnoff bringing it to $8.00. Salmon was the salty side of the Great Salt Lake or the Dead Sea. Worst we have ever had despite the manager saying it was the best. Green chile was good but again salty. My wift threw up upon getting home. Will not return. The $15.00 coupon was not worth it.

We've been here 3 times and the food has been very good every time. We really like their green chili pork appetizer. The steak salad and pizzas are also very good. They have great happy hours too. Will be back again!

My husband and I took our four year old there last night. It was our first time dining there. We didn't eat super extravagantly but the price was a little extravagant. While they are super kid friendly and have a lot of options for kids' food, my daughter ate for $10.95, which seemed a little high. For a four dollar applejuice, I would have expected for it to be spiked with a little rum or alcohol-- $4 dollars for a kids' drink?!?The food was not terrible but it was not terribly remarkable, either. We ordered pita and hummus as an appetizer. There wasn't anything special about the hummus. The pita, however was super fresh and pillowy. I ordered the tricolored quinoa salad with a piece of salmon on top. The salad and salmon were a little bland. My husband order the 'hold the tomato' white pizza and said it was very good. We were very satisfied with our service. The atmosphere is super pleasant and the waitstaff was awesome. Overall, their menu is limited and small and food is pricey. Will try again but not in any hurry to go back.

Amazing atmosphere, fantastic menu and wine/beer/cocktail selection. We had the Pumpkin Soup (superb) and salmon salad and pizza with the apple fritters for dessert. So jazzed to have a great American rest in the area. Shocking how poorly run the service staff were.....they were indifferent, borderline snotty and inefficient. Had to ask for utensils, salt and pepper, water, drinks etc. We asked for parm cheese for the pizza and the waitress actually brought us an empty cheese clear shaker. We ate dinner at 8pm and even though the rest was half full, the young wait staff were breaking down everything for the night. When we left we literally had to walk past the chef, manager and lead waitstaff having a meeting at the exit area and no one said goodbye, thank you, hope you enjoyed your meal etc. I had to say thank you to them and they looked annoyed to be interrupted. To make it in this town you have to have more than great food and atmosphere........Service, Service, Service ( and I am not talking fawning/fake/over attentive service.....I am talking decent hello, thank you and caring about the customer vs hiring young and beautiful people type service.)

Really terrific menu. Steak, pasta, salads, seafood, pizza and more! Signature chipotle shrimp boat is to die for! Great atmosphere, great friendly service, located in the heart of Beautiful North Scottsdale in Grayhawk.

1st visit. Mid Sunday afternoon before heading to the airport. Big upgrade from O'Donoghue's, previously at this location. Very good tap beer menu. House made hummus w/ pita, fresh made and hot from the oven. Fabulous. The Green Monster burger was very good, high quality Niman beef. Excellent service (Matthew). Comfortable atmosphere. Plenty of TV screens in the bar for sports fans. Convenient location for Grayhawk residents
(4)Scott C.
I love this place. Friendly bartenders, solid beer selection, and really above the board bar food. The green Chile pork is a must, and the burgers are great. Wood fired pizza is worth a try too. Great bar atmosphere. Hang out and have fun!
(4)Leslie G.
Great Happy hour! Above the norm typical happy hour bar food: The green chili pork was amazing - so tender with just the right amount of spice! We also ordered a delish vegetarian pizza with roasted corn, mushrooms, red peppers, and more. Typically happy hour pizza's are small and just barely enough for one person, but this pizza was huge - actually took it home and had it for lunch the next day. The serving sizes are really generous - especially for happy hour - such a rarity! Service was great - server was personable and quick. The dining room is loud....extremely loud. They have hardwood floors and open ceilings, so nothing to absorb the sound. Thinking once summer is over and they open the patio doors it will be at a more acceptable level. So keep in mind if you don't want to shout across the table! Can't wait to come back and try the gnocchi - which I hear is amazing!

Stopped in for a late lunch on afternoon. Brought the kiddo. The place was empty save for a few bar flies. The Mac and cheese for the kiddo was amazing. He loved and and so did we. The pizza while good intentioned was below average. The quality of the toppings was low. Especially the pepperoni. It's weird to spend so much money on decor and ambiance and than try to save pennies on cheap pepperoni. No one comes back for pepperoni that curls up. Cmon. Had a couple other dishes and everything was just ho-Hum. The server/bartender was friendly and accommodating. An awkward interaction was happening right at the front door for a while between their chef and a manager. Deft a conversation to have in the back out of earshot of the guests. They have to figure some things out for sure. Make decisions that benefit and improve the guests experience. Focus on making dollars not saving pennies.

Ok I feel really bad posting this. Looks like another restaurant is about ready to bite the dust. Walked in this evening for dinner. Could not get past the smell. You all know the smell of a restaurant almost ready to close. They cut down/out on maintenance. Stop cleaning the grease trap and their floors. The people that work they are so nice. We had a drink and left. Sorry sorry.

Good food, nice atmosphere, good selection of beer on draft... Downside.... Prices are too high. Happy hour prices are not happy! Game day Sunday and the bar is empty... Should be packed. If the prices were reasonable, it would be. Volume people, volume.
(4)Michael M.
Holly was very nice, knew what to recommend and was very attentive. The drinks were phenomenal: Maker's Mark Manhattan, The Western Rye to die for. Try the Chipotle, it's a must. Loved the Yukon Gold Gnocchi and Salmon Filet get 5 stars. Will definitely go back.
(4)Erni M.
Happy to see this addition to neighborhood. We started with pork green chili appetizer. Very good! Noted as a house favorite and I see why. Pastrami sandwich is another favorite and it was excellent. Not huge as many are. Just excellent. Mushroom pizza had way too many mushrooms on It. Good pizza. Would pick a different flavor. Overbearing. Good selection of wine by glass. But I think I got one opened one too many days. Unfortunately too many restaurants do this. Especially when manager of it is not a wine drinker. Still overall happy for this addition to neighborhood.
(4)Allison F.
Solid food and service. I like that they use all locally grown products. We came on a weekday and it wasn't that busy at all. I assume it gets way more hectic at night. The outdoor seating was pleasant. My only complaint is that the food took awhile to come out, but the quality was good.
(4)Nicole B.
Overall rating: 3.5 Stars In short, the food was good but compared to other restaurants in the area, it could be better. I came here on a business lunch with co-workers. When we arrived, there were only one or two other tables with customers and the place seemed pretty dead. Not sure if it was because we were here around 11:30am and the lunch rush hadn't picked up or what. This worked in our favor since our waiter was very attentive and the service was fast and efficient. I liked the inside as it was very open and had plenty of seating. There was a lot of wood, which looked nice. It reminded me of an upscale tavern, which is what I was expecting. Even the bathroom was nicely decorated and had ample room in the stalls. For lunch, my boss ordered the Diablo Chicken Pasta, which had a very spicy and creamy sauce with chicken and bacon. He said it was very good and it looked delicious. Another co-worker ordered a Green Monster burger and I ordered the Western burger. I normally enjoy a medium-rare burger, but since I've never ordered a burger from this place previously and had no idea how they cook their burgers, I went with medium. My co-worker risked it and went medium-rare. When our burgers arrived, both were cooked about the same. (Mainly medium, leaning a little towards medium-rare. The burger itself was flavorful and the fries were pretty good. By the time we finished our meal, only one other table filled up and this was an elderly couple. It was crazy to see a place so dead during a weekday at lunchtime. Overall, while the food was good, I don't know if I'd come back. I say this only because it is located in a shopping plaza with several other restaurants that I really love. Thus, if I was in the area, I would choose those restaurants first. However, their happy hour does look pretty good and I might give it another chance.

Here for Thursday Night Fried Chicken Dinner. They ran out last week, but we won't miss this week. Let you know how it is. Just finished. Fantastic. The crust on the chicken makes your mouth water for the next bite. Fresh corn off the cob and the coleslaw are excellent compliment's to the meal.
(5)Eric H.
My son and I love this place! Pork Stew and Tims Chicken Wing Pizza rock. Ryan and Matt behind the bar always treat us outstanding?
(5)Katie K.
Strongly recommend. All fresh and delicious. Had the green chilli pork off the starter menu and it was fanomanal. Simple salad was the best salad I have ever had. The burger was amazing and cooked perfectly. The fries are delicious. The beer selection is superb. The live music was great. Chris C was our server and probably the best service I have ever had. Overall 6 Stars if that was possible. Get the extra star because everything is made in house and comes from local vendors. A must dine place.
(5)Justin S.
I love this restaurant. I eat lunch here at least once every week. Only criticism is that they need to change up the menu a bit. A must try.

We made it out to Tavern Americana because we purchased a Groupon for Art Revolution Tonight painting class that actually takes places inside of their location. We went early just so we could sit and eat here since it was new to us. Luckily, we made it for happy hour, which runs til 7 p.m. (great news since the art class starts at 6:30 p.m. and you can grab up a drink or two while painting). We ordered the Mac & Cheese appetizer off of the happy hour menu which was around $5 and normally is about $8 - decent savings. It was very good. We forgot to request the optional bacon in it, so we will give that a go next time! It was delicious with out it though. For main course I had the Western Burger and my fiancee had the Pulled Pork Sandwich. Both of the buns were a touch dry - but the meat on both sandwiches was very nicely done. The coleslaw on the pulled pork was a touch too tart for him, but if you like more tart coleslaw this may be right up your alley. We could NOT pass up a chance to try the baked cookie skillet with ice cream a la mode. It was well worth it. Overall: A Grab up an Art Revolution Tonight Groupon with Violet and eat at the Tavern. Excellent date night!

My wife and I love to come here. I'm giving this place a 4 star only because the last two times the service wasn't as good. As for the food I have zero complaints and their salmon is by far my favorite in the valley!
(4)Alex B.
The manager, Ryan, was exceptional. We went in to watch the Blackhawks game and decided we wanted to more of a "Chicago" bar. We hadn't ordered a thing and Ryan was more than happy to not only find a bar (since we are new to the are) but he actually called and made a reservation for us. We will definitely be back to Tavern Americana because of the amazing customer service!!
(5)Wendy B.
Very good food at this restaurant, but the lunchtime service needs some work. We went here for lunch on a Thursday around noon and there were only two servers working. Although the restaurant was generally quiet at this time, it took a moment to get seated because the host was running around like he was busy. Once we got seated we had our servers attention until the lunch rush happened; at which point we had to wait 20 minutes between the time we finished our lunch, to the time we actually got up to find him and pay our bill. I think the restraint just needs some more time to figure out staffing for the lunch rush.
(3)Shane M.
We live nearby and eat here on a regular basis. The green chili pork appetizer is delicious and I love the steak salad. Good value for quality and a nice atmosphere.

Top of the line craft beer selection, fantastic menu options, great decor & awesome patio seating. Can't go wrong here...the management is seriously on their game!
(5)Chris M.
Great service, wonderful food and a great draft selection. I was ecstatic to find an upscale pub so close to home. Their ingredients are usually local, and their bartenders know what they are talking about. Fantastic experience.
