This places smells like Courtney Love's vagina. The food was terrible and the blonde bartender was ripping shots with the regulars while ignoring all other customers. One person complained she walked three feet away and said the guy was "gay". Terrible.

I have to rate this restaurant high because I'm from Michigan and they are the only restaurant that claims to have authentic coneys and actually does have authentic coneys. They also have the correct dressing for a Detroit Greek Salad. I wrote a poor review for the hotdog place in Deerfield. It closed down, probably due to bad location. But they lied about having authentic coneys. I thought it was hopeless. Not that I eat a ton of hotdogs, but I appreciate that this place knows what they are selling. The other food is good. It's not fine dining, it's bar food, comfort food, American food. Service was friendly and good, even though they were very busy.

A good place close to home! This place is right around the corner. With different specials each day and reasonable prices regardless it is a place that almost anyone can find some that appeals to them on the menu. I had the Avenue Cobb Salad and would recommend it. My boyfriend had the Ruben sandwich. Although he wasn't pleased with his choice and would not recommend it, he would still return and try some of the other menu items. Staff was friendly and our server was very attentive and pleasant. This place is one that is a little off the main avenue and definitely has it's regulars and locals which gives it a nice welcoming vibe. I will definitely be back!

Grand Tavern is 2 minutes off 95, has a cheerful happy hour and serves classic Detroit coney dogs. It is stuck in the 80's and has no regrets about it. GT doesn't take the modern chic Sports bar seriously. It's a clean sports bar joint that represents the Detroit clubs. There is Red Wings regalia and the other teams colors throughout the bar and dining room. There is some representation of some Florida teams, but no Midwest teams of course. Some coworkers and I stopped in after work just the other day. One gal in our group is from Detroit so it was a great spot for her. The rest of us were just glad for the convenience of the location. They have a classic happy hour, with a classic menu. We got the jalapeño dip and drinks. The app was short on chips, but the waitress was great and the drinks were solid. There are better options in the area, but worse as well. Stop in for a Coney though.

Never experienced the issues the 1-star reviewers had and I go there a lot. Both for lunch (good deals on lunch specials) and for dinner. It's a sports bar with sports bar food done well. Salads are good. Sandwiches are good. Burgers are great. And I always find the service attentive. I certainly recommend.

I was extremely impressed with this bar. And not because I'm from Ann Arbor, as I only found out how Michigan-centric they are later on. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Their food is amazing, not even considering its at a tavern. The food come out shockingly quickly, so you don't end up drinking yourself under the table waiting for it to come out.

It's not everyday that I write a review with 5 stars. I wanted to start off my review with that sentence. The reason I'm giving this establishment 5 stars on this day is because the service was superb, the food was excellent, and the attention to detail was bar none. I chose the Grand tavern today because I wanted to have a lunch that I didn't want to drive thru for. I entered the establishment and was quickly addressed and told to sit anywhere. I sat at a booth at the back of the restaurant. The waitress came up and gave me the specials of the day. Also when I came in the specials of the day were written on a chalkboard to the left of the hostess area. Based on the suggestion by the waitress, I chose the Cuban sandwich with fries and I also added a small Caesar salad. The Caesar salad came out almost immediately and it was very good. Also the croutons tasted like they were just recently toasted. Also the portion size for a side Caesar was pretty big. Luckily, I came in with a big appetite. About five minutes later the Cuban sandwich came in. OMG! It was really good. Now, I am CUBAN so I know what a good Cuban sandwich taste like. For an American tavern, this was really good. I took a photo of it for you guys and the presentation was pretty good. I also ask for mayonnaise for my french fries ( I am that guy). After eating my lunch slowly and savoring every bite, the waitress came up to me and asked me if I would be interested in dessert. Interestingly, instead of showing me a menu of desserts, she showed me a new product that they are selling for lunch dessert. It is a product call a cake pop. It was interesting that she inform me where the cake pop came from. It came from a local bakery. I was impressed with this and wanted to mention this in my review. I highly recommend this restaurant, grand tavern, on Linton Boulevard near 10th Street if you want to go for lunch.

I must say the staff here is pretty great and they've never messed my order up. The food is typical Florida bar food but it's decent. I usually get the pecan chicken salad, but the last time I got It I added blue cheese and it literally smelled like dog feces, so I probably will never order blue cheese again...

Grand Tavern is really close to my place but I had never checked it out. Not wanting to fight the downtown crowd, my friend and I decided to check it out for a Sunday lunch. The server was over-the-top nice. I couldn't ask for better service. Very attentive and polite. I ordered the chicken tenders (an appetizer) with a side of fries, and my friend got the sliders. My chicken came out a little over done. I'm still giving it four stars because the service was so great. And it wasn't bad. I'll just probably order something different next time. The fries were really good though. My friend said his sliders were really good as well. They came with sauteed onions, which is a nice treat. They have good daily specials (one day is BOGO free burgers), which I'd like to check out one day. I will definitely be back.

Used to be a favorite; Sunday night 8:30, ask for table, get led to a dirty table, oh wait it needs to be cleaned we watch it get cleaned and we sit. Hmm we see some servers talking, we ask for menus, I HAVE THEM RIGHT HERE! He comes around and tells us we haven't waited that long. Tells us that he will take our drink order until they can figure out who our server will be. We now are waiting for our drinks (non-alcoholic)....now we are thinking....now we are leaving. This is poor management. This is not server problems. A good manager would see this as its happening. Bar was busy. Should probably close the restaurant and just be a bar with bar food. They are no longer a restaurant. Too bad, we come here two-three times a month with 6-12people. Service has gone down over the last six months. This is not the first time but it is probably the last..

This is the second time we ordered from here at our office. the blackened shrimp salad was so delicious the first time. It was large and a reasonable price. The chipoltle ranch dressing has the perfect amount of spice and the Thai peanut dressing was amazing too. The second time (today) that we ordered , the salad was pretty small and did not have much tomato or onion. I haven't had anything else here but look forward to trying other foods.

I love the Grand Tavern! It's an awesome locals sports bar with good food and good drinks where you feel comfortable hanging out. I have tried a ton of stuff on their menu and have not been disappointed yet. They have pool tables and always have games on the t.v. and the staff is really friendly.

Pretty good. The Mike's Pick burger was excellent. The beer tower (6+ beers) for 10.50 was quite a deal as well! Our server was very friendly as well

We went there las night and were seated promptly by a nice hostess. We were there for 15 minutes waiting for a server. Nobody ever came to our table or acknowledged us. We had to leave since we had a toddler with us that needed to be fed and was getting restless. We noticed that everybody sitting at the bar or in the bar area were getting service. This was an unfortunate family outing if you know how hard it is to get out of the house when you have small children. Applebee's around the corner did a great job.

I originally wanted to title this post "Turnover Tavern" but after a solid 2 year stay, Grand Tavern has built quite the reputation in Delray. These days, its uncommon to see a local bar hang with the big boys. Grand Tavern hosts college night parties, 2 4 1 burger nights, trivia nights and with all the team flags hanging around the place its easy to imagine a large crowd on Saturdays & Sundays during football season. I just so happened to pop in on the 1st day of 2 4 1 burgers to check out the menu... Pretty solid pub burgers to choose from; Ground chicken burger, sliders, BBQ burger & even a Breakfast burger to name a few. I decided to go with the Corned Beer Burger. Topped with corned beer, swiss cheese and house-made bistro sauce. The corned beef on top of the burger was an interesting treat. Tasting borderline Rueben-like, the saltiness of the corned beef kept enhancing the overall taste of the burger. Cooked slightly above where I asked but I wasn't letting that stop me. The burger was also accompanied by some house-made chips. Always a plus.

Sometimes a business has to shake a certain stigma when opening up. For Grand Tavern it is the location. The spot was a Lucille's Bad to the Bone BBQ for a number of years but when that shut down the spot had a bit of a revolving door. Ideas opened and closed there. But Grand Tavern seems to be putting that behind them as they seem to have beaten the bad mojo of the place for now. The decor is quite modern with some subtle hints of an old fashioned tavern. The bar itself is rather impressive and quite nice to look at. One could say it in itself is rather grand. The menu is huge. This is sometimes a pitfall for businesses in trying to do too much. We went on a Thursday and it was $5 burger night so my eyes immediately went there. We split an order of the Buffalo Chicken Dip and it was quite good. A few friends make some of this and I would say that Grand Tavern's is very close to that which my friends make. I went with the Smokehouse burger, medium rare. It was cooked perfectly to order with all the fixins'. It was a bit messy as things started sliding out from under the bun but I expected that with the choice I made. My girlfriend had the turkey burger and she said it was a bit too dry but didn't think it was bad by any means. The service was good as we hoped for it not being very busy. We are certainly planning on going back to try some other items on the menu. My brother and his wife are regulars there and really enjoy the place so we will have to meet up with them again.

The place isn't the nicest of places but the food is pretty outstanding for a bar joint. Great food deals Monday-Sunday it's a sport bar so it's got pretty much every game on. It's always on the quiet side when I come. (Which I prefer anyway) They do have a small stage for live bands so I'm sure they have ppl come and perform. The waitresses and staff are always extremely friendly and nice. For me if your looking for good food at reasonable prices you can't go wrong and they usually have domestic beer deals and specialty drink deals too. I would def give this place a shot if you're looking for decent food and grab a quick drink.

I was told about this place by one of my lunch crew. I'm from the Detroit area and one of the few things worth missing about being from there is the Detroit Coney Island chili dog. I sat at the bar and was greeted quickly and offered a menu. A quick glance found the object of my desire. The bartender told me that they had a special that night (Sunday) of two Coney's and fries. I ordered that. The food came out in reasonable time and the taste was the taste of my youth! These Coney dogs are divine and I will return for another fix in the future. The price for the dogs with fries was under $8.

Owned by Detroit native with Lions, Wings, Michigan and MSU flags flying. Went to watch Wings game, sat outside, took forever for server to arrive. Longer still to receive drink order, first period was half over before my first sip of beer. One outdoor TV busted, they could not put MSU game on the other because it was linked to others inside who were watching a different game. Server was nice but poorly trained, only her second day, she had no business being in her own yet. No napkins, beer bucket leaked all over table. Went inside, service no better. Absolutely no management evident. Ordered turkey Reuben, average at best. Mahi mahi bites were great though. Subsequent visit was no better, bartender was brain dead.

Brought a huge group to grand tavern. After our food arrived only part of it were we able to stomach eating. We broke a fork on a piece of meat it was that hard. Only after that did we all get very sick. I later checked their health code violations and I no longer needed to guess why...over 20!! Save your belly and eat somewhere clean.

First time visit. Seen this place on my Facebook feed and since we are from Michigan we wanted to give it a try. Noticed they have Detroit Coney dogs which we love! Arrived around 6:15 PM. There was a sign that said they are out of Coney dogs. Had I known this before, we wouldn't have went. Decided to try it any ways. The booth we were seated at smelled like old beer! I had the fish and chips. Two small pieces of fish with a really small serving of cole slaw with fries for $13.. WOW!!! SO not worth it!! Don't think we will be back.

Great service, good, fresh food! Tastes allot like home! Our waitress Lauren was just amazing. Nice to see Midwest values down here. Maybe it will catch on. Very clean restaurant. Good hamburgers, soup, sandwiches, even the fried calamari was really good. And - reasonably priced.

Good spot to hangout after work. Not my favorite, but sill good. Their happy hour is 2 dll domestics and 3 dll the rest of their beers. They dont carrie craft beer however their selections is pretty wide. Most of the time the service is good but depends on the waitress/waiter. I had their Jalapeño cheese deep, and mahi mahi bites which are my favorites from this place. Also had the firecracker shrimp and was good as well. The main reason cause I give them three stars is because the bathroom need a lot of work and the service just like a said is not consistent. Overall its an ok place to grab a drink and move on

We were in town for a wedding, and my 14 y.o. eating machine and I were alone around lunch. I did a quick yelp recon, found this place, and we were off! We walked right in (Saturday lunch), and, letting the server know that we were going to head out to a wedding rehearsal in 25 min. We ordered, and our food was delivered relatively quickly. We passed the time watching the various games on the many TV's, including the Notre Dame Blue & Gold game (which really irritated my father-in-law - he did NOT get to watch it on his cable connection). The burgers were awesome, and the beer selection was great! My son was entranced with the size of both his burger and the tattoo on our (female) server's chest, but neither one stuck around too long, so we were able to make it to the rehearsal on time. If we were back in the area, I'd be looking for this place again. Recommended for sure!

Ordered take out late night since they're open until 2am and only place open other than fast food. The side Caesar salad and the tomato bisque soup were very good. The blackened salmon over fettuccine Alfredo was ok and the Mario's spicy rigatoni was ok. It wasn't spicy at all. I do want to try other items in the menu so I'll definitely go back. They have so many things on the menu.

Went to Grand Tavern today during my lunch hour. It was a nice place to go to! It is very clean and nice inside, I met up with my co-worker we went a little bit later in the afternoon so it wasn't as busy. We sat at the bar and it was fabulous. I was soooooo happy to see that they had Magners Pear -- It's literally like my absolute most favorite cider and it is not often to run into them so I was thoroughly impressed. Our bartender, Carole, gave my a nice icy cold glass and it was absolutely perfect. Carole, is by far the best bartender she was soooo nice and friends, joined in on our conversations and we just had an absolute great time chatting with her, and yet she is very professional and I watched her with the other customers and I just really admired how extremely friendly and attentive she was towards everyone. She knew everyones name that walked in. She wrote down my name and my co-workers name and said she will remember us, so I really liked that, it made me feel special, and I think thats a great attributing factor to me liking this place so much. Carole made us a cinnamon toast crunch shot, it was with fireball and rumchatta, and its literally the best shot ever, its seriously like a party in your mouth/cereal thats been spiked! Our other co worker showed up and we ordered another round of beers and ciders and then Carole made us a green tea shot and that was really good, it literally smells and tastes like green tea. I wanted a little something to snack on but I wanted to keep it light, I was in the mood for shrimp cocktail- they didn't have any but Carole really accommodated me and got me grilled shrimp with cocktail sauce and it was even better! My coworker ordered the mahi mahi bites and we were very happy. I got a salad to go....and me being the complicated person that I am and having to have my salads a special way was not a problem for them to do for me. I got a caesar salad with no croutons, and I added tomatoes, onions and bell peppers. Their caesar dressing is definitely really good, its not like other places! This definitely may be my new go to spot for lunch hour during the week. They have a great bar, it is such a good vibe there and their menu looks really good. They have an amazing salad selection and other foods of course, so I am excited to start coming back more often and getting food and drinks here.

I went to Grand Tavern with my college buddy. The atmosphere was ok, the food was marginal. When I tried to call back to speak to the manager, an older lady answered the phone, when I started telling her about my experience, she hung up on me. I called back three times and she hung up on me, 3 times. How do you expect to acquire or keep customers with such a rude, indifferent person answering your phones. The service was pathetic. I wish I could give a zero stars or negative...

This place Rocks! Good food, good service and a friendly inviting environment. Megan is very sweet and is very attentive to the bar and all of the customers. The staff all seem very nice and always seem to serve with a smile. I've only been going there for a couple of weeks and already feel at home there. The salads are fresh and the daily specials are the best in Town. Got to stop in if you're in the area. 5 Stars for me!

We went on a Friday night and the place was packed....which is a good sign! We had a short 10 minute wait for a table that was no problem. After we were seated, we realized that a large majority of the people there were for a huge birthday party. The place was short staffed though. I don't know if they didn't realized this party was going to be there, but the poor servers were running ragged. It took a while for someone to come over, but we were in no rush. We ordered a Tom Collins and an Apple Martini. About 20 minutes later, the server brought the martini, but no Tom Collins. She said it "disappeared". Five minutes later she brought the Tom Collins, but it in no way resembled a Tom Collins. We sent it back and made it a simple order for a Gin & Tonic. It arrived 5 minutes later with no problems. We placed our order and about 20 minutes later our appetizer of jalapeno cheese and pretzel bread arrived. It was great!! The jalapeno cheese was a large, piping hot dish of the filling you get in a jalapeno popper....HEAVEN! The pretzel bread was also delicious and warm. The bad part was that we barely ate the appetizer when the food arrived! I hate to have to eat the appetizer as part of the main course! (that's why it's called APPETIZER!). Our food was a buffalo chicken sandwich and a chicken quesadilla. Both were good The real down side of the place was the noise. It was not from loud music, it was just from people talking! I don't think I have ever been in a louder place! We had to shout at each other all during the meal just to talk. Everyone in the place was shouting! It was as loud as a concert but there was no music. The noise level just killed the whole meal. I don't mind a bar or tavern if it is loud from a band, but just to have a mob of people yelling at each other made this a "don't rush back" place. The food was good, but we can get just as good of food elsewhere and be able to talk to each other over dinner!!!

The good: The menu looks great - there are a variety of options. Lots of craft beers. Outdoor seating. The bad: not enough waitstaff on duty meant that our server had too many tables so everything took forever. The Caesar dressing is really sweet. The black bean burger was mediocre at best. It took an hour and 10 mins for lunch on a Sunday. This place has potential but I honestly would not go back.

Was in from out of town and wanted a place where we could all watch the NFL games. We got there 10 minutes before kick off and got a table right near the bar in the middle of the place. Could see every game they had. Waitress we had was smoking hot and took good care of all of us. The food was great, had appetizers and the coney special. Beers were priced well. They are Michigan bar and it was too crowded until 4 PM when the lions were about to play. Thats when we took off. Next time in town will head back to watch whatever else is playing.

I went to Grand Tavern for lunch today. I had the greek flatbread special and it was awesome! I work nearby and visit here once every couple of weeks. I've had at least a dozen different dishes and never been disappointed. Carol is usually there at lunch but is on vacation. Meagan took care of me today and was great. I was told they are putting flatbreads on the regular menu next week. I highly recommend!

Food was good, service was terrible. It took 45 mins to get our appetizer that ended up coming out 2 mins before our food. Our server stood at the front desk and chatted with the other waitresses who were also doing nothing. I never even was offered a drink refill. I blame it on poor management. It's unfortunate because the food is pretty good, but unless they get their act together this place is history. Everyone working in the place seemed like space cadets!

I had my first opportunity to try out the Grand Tavern that recently opened on East Linton in Delray Beach. It is in the old Lucille's Bad to the Bone location. I came across a coupon at Money Saver Coupons for $5 off $25. It was really noisy when we came in. There was a football game on the tube and several fans were hooting and hollering, so when the host suggested a table outside on this cool 73 degree evening we jumped on it. We ordered our drinks and checked out the menu. Michelle just wanted a salad but I wanted to taste some stuff that I could write about. I had read online that the Grand Tavern had some breakout burgers and I wish I had the appetite to taste them all. Since I could only try one burger on this visit, I requested the recommendation of our server, Daniel, who we found out is a student at FIU. Daniel, without hesitation, suggested the SmokeHouse Burger: 1/2 lb. burger topped with smoked bacon, melted cheddar cheese & crispy onion rings and a side of homemade potato chips. I agreed and ordered a PBR and an appetizer (in the name of science - taste test.) Yes, they have Pabst Blue Ribbon on tap. A throwback to my college drinking days. To compliment the beer I got the Buffalo Chicken Dip: mixed cheeses and Buffalo style chicken served with toasted pita chips for dipping. The dip was very hot and VERY cheesy. The pita chips were crisp and seasoned perfectly. I wasn't too fond of the dip so after a couple of tastes I asked for a "to-go" box. Michelle commented that her salad was quite fresh and crispy. After a short wait the burger arrived (with another PBR) and it looked stunning! Michelle laughed that there was no way I would get it in my mouth. She was correct so I mashed it down forgetting that I had not yet taken a picture. The Tastes and Textures Exploded in My Mouth like an Atom Bomb The burger did not appear to be a freshly hand formed patty, but when I took a bite I really didn't care. I got a full mouthful of flavors exploding on my palate like an atom bomb. Smoked bacon, cheese, burger, onion rings and bun all providing different textures at the same time. It was delicious. I ate half and packed the rest to go and enjoy the next day. I had a very nice experience at the Grand Tavern and I think you should give it a try. They have only been open a few months and I think the food will get even better over time. Give them a try and tell them you read about it here!

they have good burgers, but their fries are soggy and limp and disgusting.. they used to have great homemade chips, but they stopped that a year ago they told me today.. so i had to throw the fries away and they didnt even offer me anything else... just made excuses.. and the wait staff has never really been any good..

Walked in this afternoon, the day after Xmas and it was empty at 4 no big deal. Especially today which is a work and return presents day. Bartender nice enough for sure. Me and my buddy who lives near there and suggested it both got Dogfish 60's. Not a great slection but at least they had a few crafts on tap. We were pleased to learn that Thursday is 2 for 1 burger night. Yeah! So after our first beer we ordered the burgers and another beer and we went out to play pool in the outdoor pavilion area while waiting for it to be cooked. I immediately noticed that there were cigarette butts everywhere tons and various papers basically trash about and frankly it was dirty and my buddy mentioned that he smelt urine near the wall at the pool table. It could have been somebody from the other side as there is an old time smoking bar next door? But wow what a turn off. Also the pool table didn't have a bridge stick which was a bummer I need one and as well the floor was uneven and I am pretty sure by the way some balls broke the table is warped. Pool here is just for a kibbutz. We went in when the burgers were up and they were OK, not bad, just not great and not $10 dollar burgers but at two for one I won't complain about that. Noticed the rug near the side door hadn't been vacuumed. Nature called went to the rest room. Nothing bigger as a bummer than a dirty toilet seat that needed to be wiped up yech The toilet paper dispenser had so much dust upon it that it was obvious nobody cares too much about cleanliness here Shame on the management. (It made me wonder about the kitchen and my food preparation). Noticed no sign that employees must wash their hands, I thought that was a law? Not that bathrooms have to be attractive but on a scale of 1-10 being tops this was a 4. Looked into the kitchen and while I couldn't gauge cleanliness from a distance I would bet that if the restaurant makeover dudes were called in they would scrubbing the joint on their hands and knees. Yes plenty of TV's over the bar but you would get neck strain from looking almost straight up Better to sit at the high-tops not at the bar for viewing. I gave it two stars rather than 1 as you cannot screw up Dogfish 60 and the burger hit the hungry spot. But in summation Duffys down the street has this place beat by a mile It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't make it in which case I could see a real craft beer pub with grub coming in and pardon the pun cleaning up.

We were looking for a place to watch the Bears game on a Sunday. Been to Duffy's and Miller's - wanted to try someplace new. Grand Tavern fit the bill. 15 tv screens - all with small team pennants attached to the console to help you find your game when you walk in. I ordered the Grilled Italian sandwich - prepared with real ham and salami - not processed lunch meats. The sandwich fixings were delicious - served on toasted white bread. I think a heartier bread would make it better. My friend had the 10 oz sirloin. The steak was juicy and medium rare. Garlic seasoned broccoli and carrots were steamed perfectly. He didn't care for the french fries - they seemed to be processed potatoes that were then formed into a french fry shape. The outdoor area is dog friendly and also has a tv screen. Crowd was friendly. We sat near some Dolphins fans who didn't mind when we cheered for the Bears.

Great comfort food. If you want a juicey burger or yummy jalapeño poppers this is the joint. Great deals every day of the week. Thursday they have BOGO Burgers and Tuesdays is BOGO salads! Equipped with pool tables, dart boards and outdoor space to hang out. Great place to watch sports, have happy hour or chill on a boring rainy day.

Good hangout place to watch sports and have a few drinks. We went on a Tuesday night to watch the Red Wings play. This bar is owned by folks from Michigan, so of course the game was on many of the TVs, along with baseball and other channels. The bartender was super friendly and gave generous drink pours. The club sandwich was fresh, and the sweet potato fries were very good. We'll be back.

Grand tavern has really great food and the staff is friendly. Fun atmosphere with pool tables and a good crowd.

I was in Delray Beach the week before the holiday and ended up at Grand Tavern 3 out of the 5 nights I was down there. The first meal I had was the mushroom swiss burger, cooked perfectly! The burger came out with 4 wine samples! The bartender came outside with 2 whites and 2 reds. What a nice surprise, right! The staff was very courteous and we were sitting out on the patio almost as soon as we walked in. My second meal at GT was the Ahi Tuna salad. Delicious and so fresh! The peanut Thai dressing packed a punch, so just a drizzle will do. The service was great! They were especially attentive to my 16 month old nephew, who is loud and messy. It was lunch time. No, I don't bring my nephew to the bar with me. I wonder if it would help me pick up a man though. :) The third meal was the Greek Salad with grilled chicken. Chicken was perfectly seasoned and grilled. There was plenty of feta cheese(some places skimp), beets, kalamata olives, peperoncini on super fresh greens. The dressing is unique too, creamy, maybe yogurt, pure delight! Its a great place! Good music, great service!

Farrell waited on us and was very good server. Tried the Smokehouse Burger with the chips and my wife got the the Tavern Sampler with Onion Rings, Chicken Wings and Spicy Cheese Sticks. This was the old Lucille's Bad to the Bone BBQ. When we were there they were busy, but not packed. Could see were things may get noisy if there a game one of the many TV's. The burger was OK, tasty, but a little over cooked (dry) and I would skip the chips and get fries next time. The Onion Rings were very good and the Spicy Cheese sticks were different. The Wings were a little to HOT for med so I am not sure we would get them again (I've had better). Overall, the prices were not bad and service was quick, so we will go back again. Someone else noted in their review that the burgers had changed from juicy to dry, so maybe they are still trying to get things dialed in or maybe they decide to go cheap. Only time will tell. Tuesday is buy 2 salads and get one free Thursday is buy 2 burgers and get one free

I was very disappointed by the lunch I had at Grand Tavern. The burgers were dry, overcooked, frozen, and had absolutely no seasoning. It's no wonder they have all types of crazy toppings on their burgers, because if they were to be tasted on their own, they would be laughed out of McDonald's. I paid $2 extra for sweet potato fries and they were very bland. The club sandwich was depressing as it looked like it came out of a hospital cafeteria. You can tell they don't really care about the food they are serving. Overall, this place is not worth the time or money.

This places smells like Courtney Love's vagina. The food was terrible and the blonde bartender was ripping shots with the regulars while ignoring all other customers. One person complained she walked three feet away and said the guy was "gay". Terrible.

I have to rate this restaurant high because I'm from Michigan and they are the only restaurant that claims to have authentic coneys and actually does have authentic coneys. They also have the correct dressing for a Detroit Greek Salad. I wrote a poor review for the hotdog place in Deerfield. It closed down, probably due to bad location. But they lied about having authentic coneys. I thought it was hopeless. Not that I eat a ton of hotdogs, but I appreciate that this place knows what they are selling. The other food is good. It's not fine dining, it's bar food, comfort food, American food. Service was friendly and good, even though they were very busy.

A good place close to home! This place is right around the corner. With different specials each day and reasonable prices regardless it is a place that almost anyone can find some that appeals to them on the menu. I had the Avenue Cobb Salad and would recommend it. My boyfriend had the Ruben sandwich. Although he wasn't pleased with his choice and would not recommend it, he would still return and try some of the other menu items. Staff was friendly and our server was very attentive and pleasant. This place is one that is a little off the main avenue and definitely has it's regulars and locals which gives it a nice welcoming vibe. I will definitely be back!

Grand Tavern is 2 minutes off 95, has a cheerful happy hour and serves classic Detroit coney dogs. It is stuck in the 80's and has no regrets about it. GT doesn't take the modern chic Sports bar seriously. It's a clean sports bar joint that represents the Detroit clubs. There is Red Wings regalia and the other teams colors throughout the bar and dining room. There is some representation of some Florida teams, but no Midwest teams of course. Some coworkers and I stopped in after work just the other day. One gal in our group is from Detroit so it was a great spot for her. The rest of us were just glad for the convenience of the location. They have a classic happy hour, with a classic menu. We got the jalapeño dip and drinks. The app was short on chips, but the waitress was great and the drinks were solid. There are better options in the area, but worse as well. Stop in for a Coney though.

Never experienced the issues the 1-star reviewers had and I go there a lot. Both for lunch (good deals on lunch specials) and for dinner. It's a sports bar with sports bar food done well. Salads are good. Sandwiches are good. Burgers are great. And I always find the service attentive. I certainly recommend.
(4)Karina M.
I was extremely impressed with this bar. And not because I'm from Ann Arbor, as I only found out how Michigan-centric they are later on. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Their food is amazing, not even considering its at a tavern. The food come out shockingly quickly, so you don't end up drinking yourself under the table waiting for it to come out.

It's not everyday that I write a review with 5 stars. I wanted to start off my review with that sentence. The reason I'm giving this establishment 5 stars on this day is because the service was superb, the food was excellent, and the attention to detail was bar none. I chose the Grand tavern today because I wanted to have a lunch that I didn't want to drive thru for. I entered the establishment and was quickly addressed and told to sit anywhere. I sat at a booth at the back of the restaurant. The waitress came up and gave me the specials of the day. Also when I came in the specials of the day were written on a chalkboard to the left of the hostess area. Based on the suggestion by the waitress, I chose the Cuban sandwich with fries and I also added a small Caesar salad. The Caesar salad came out almost immediately and it was very good. Also the croutons tasted like they were just recently toasted. Also the portion size for a side Caesar was pretty big. Luckily, I came in with a big appetite. About five minutes later the Cuban sandwich came in. OMG! It was really good. Now, I am CUBAN so I know what a good Cuban sandwich taste like. For an American tavern, this was really good. I took a photo of it for you guys and the presentation was pretty good. I also ask for mayonnaise for my french fries ( I am that guy). After eating my lunch slowly and savoring every bite, the waitress came up to me and asked me if I would be interested in dessert. Interestingly, instead of showing me a menu of desserts, she showed me a new product that they are selling for lunch dessert. It is a product call a cake pop. It was interesting that she inform me where the cake pop came from. It came from a local bakery. I was impressed with this and wanted to mention this in my review. I highly recommend this restaurant, grand tavern, on Linton Boulevard near 10th Street if you want to go for lunch.
(5)Amanda A.
I must say the staff here is pretty great and they've never messed my order up. The food is typical Florida bar food but it's decent. I usually get the pecan chicken salad, but the last time I got It I added blue cheese and it literally smelled like dog feces, so I probably will never order blue cheese again...
(3)Nancy A.
Delicious burgers and super-fast service. Can't wait to go back to try other menu items.

Reminds me of home! Nice people great food and drinks. This is my favorite place to go to relax and enjoy.

Grand Tavern is really close to my place but I had never checked it out. Not wanting to fight the downtown crowd, my friend and I decided to check it out for a Sunday lunch. The server was over-the-top nice. I couldn't ask for better service. Very attentive and polite. I ordered the chicken tenders (an appetizer) with a side of fries, and my friend got the sliders. My chicken came out a little over done. I'm still giving it four stars because the service was so great. And it wasn't bad. I'll just probably order something different next time. The fries were really good though. My friend said his sliders were really good as well. They came with sauteed onions, which is a nice treat. They have good daily specials (one day is BOGO free burgers), which I'd like to check out one day. I will definitely be back.

Used to be a favorite; Sunday night 8:30, ask for table, get led to a dirty table, oh wait it needs to be cleaned we watch it get cleaned and we sit. Hmm we see some servers talking, we ask for menus, I HAVE THEM RIGHT HERE! He comes around and tells us we haven't waited that long. Tells us that he will take our drink order until they can figure out who our server will be. We now are waiting for our drinks (non-alcoholic)....now we are thinking....now we are leaving. This is poor management. This is not server problems. A good manager would see this as its happening. Bar was busy. Should probably close the restaurant and just be a bar with bar food. They are no longer a restaurant. Too bad, we come here two-three times a month with 6-12people. Service has gone down over the last six months. This is not the first time but it is probably the last..
(1)Briana C.
This is the second time we ordered from here at our office. the blackened shrimp salad was so delicious the first time. It was large and a reasonable price. The chipoltle ranch dressing has the perfect amount of spice and the Thai peanut dressing was amazing too. The second time (today) that we ordered , the salad was pretty small and did not have much tomato or onion. I haven't had anything else here but look forward to trying other foods.
(3)Melissa L.
I love the Grand Tavern! It's an awesome locals sports bar with good food and good drinks where you feel comfortable hanging out. I have tried a ton of stuff on their menu and have not been disappointed yet. They have pool tables and always have games on the t.v. and the staff is really friendly.
(4)Patrick B.
Pretty good. The Mike's Pick burger was excellent. The beer tower (6+ beers) for 10.50 was quite a deal as well! Our server was very friendly as well
(4)Michelle M.
We went there las night and were seated promptly by a nice hostess. We were there for 15 minutes waiting for a server. Nobody ever came to our table or acknowledged us. We had to leave since we had a toddler with us that needed to be fed and was getting restless. We noticed that everybody sitting at the bar or in the bar area were getting service. This was an unfortunate family outing if you know how hard it is to get out of the house when you have small children. Applebee's around the corner did a great job.

I originally wanted to title this post "Turnover Tavern" but after a solid 2 year stay, Grand Tavern has built quite the reputation in Delray. These days, its uncommon to see a local bar hang with the big boys. Grand Tavern hosts college night parties, 2 4 1 burger nights, trivia nights and with all the team flags hanging around the place its easy to imagine a large crowd on Saturdays & Sundays during football season. I just so happened to pop in on the 1st day of 2 4 1 burgers to check out the menu... Pretty solid pub burgers to choose from; Ground chicken burger, sliders, BBQ burger & even a Breakfast burger to name a few. I decided to go with the Corned Beer Burger. Topped with corned beer, swiss cheese and house-made bistro sauce. The corned beef on top of the burger was an interesting treat. Tasting borderline Rueben-like, the saltiness of the corned beef kept enhancing the overall taste of the burger. Cooked slightly above where I asked but I wasn't letting that stop me. The burger was also accompanied by some house-made chips. Always a plus.

Sometimes a business has to shake a certain stigma when opening up. For Grand Tavern it is the location. The spot was a Lucille's Bad to the Bone BBQ for a number of years but when that shut down the spot had a bit of a revolving door. Ideas opened and closed there. But Grand Tavern seems to be putting that behind them as they seem to have beaten the bad mojo of the place for now. The decor is quite modern with some subtle hints of an old fashioned tavern. The bar itself is rather impressive and quite nice to look at. One could say it in itself is rather grand. The menu is huge. This is sometimes a pitfall for businesses in trying to do too much. We went on a Thursday and it was $5 burger night so my eyes immediately went there. We split an order of the Buffalo Chicken Dip and it was quite good. A few friends make some of this and I would say that Grand Tavern's is very close to that which my friends make. I went with the Smokehouse burger, medium rare. It was cooked perfectly to order with all the fixins'. It was a bit messy as things started sliding out from under the bun but I expected that with the choice I made. My girlfriend had the turkey burger and she said it was a bit too dry but didn't think it was bad by any means. The service was good as we hoped for it not being very busy. We are certainly planning on going back to try some other items on the menu. My brother and his wife are regulars there and really enjoy the place so we will have to meet up with them again.

The place isn't the nicest of places but the food is pretty outstanding for a bar joint. Great food deals Monday-Sunday it's a sport bar so it's got pretty much every game on. It's always on the quiet side when I come. (Which I prefer anyway) They do have a small stage for live bands so I'm sure they have ppl come and perform. The waitresses and staff are always extremely friendly and nice. For me if your looking for good food at reasonable prices you can't go wrong and they usually have domestic beer deals and specialty drink deals too. I would def give this place a shot if you're looking for decent food and grab a quick drink.
(4)Jeff S.
I was told about this place by one of my lunch crew. I'm from the Detroit area and one of the few things worth missing about being from there is the Detroit Coney Island chili dog. I sat at the bar and was greeted quickly and offered a menu. A quick glance found the object of my desire. The bartender told me that they had a special that night (Sunday) of two Coney's and fries. I ordered that. The food came out in reasonable time and the taste was the taste of my youth! These Coney dogs are divine and I will return for another fix in the future. The price for the dogs with fries was under $8.

Owned by Detroit native with Lions, Wings, Michigan and MSU flags flying. Went to watch Wings game, sat outside, took forever for server to arrive. Longer still to receive drink order, first period was half over before my first sip of beer. One outdoor TV busted, they could not put MSU game on the other because it was linked to others inside who were watching a different game. Server was nice but poorly trained, only her second day, she had no business being in her own yet. No napkins, beer bucket leaked all over table. Went inside, service no better. Absolutely no management evident. Ordered turkey Reuben, average at best. Mahi mahi bites were great though. Subsequent visit was no better, bartender was brain dead.
(2)Carey S.
Great service, decent food, and fair prices. It's a neighborhood bar/restaurant. It's no place I'd go out of my way for, but if you're nearby, definitely give it a shot.
(3)David H.
Excellent Local Pub Great food, numerous draft (micro-brew) beer choices, friendly staff who provide excellent / attentive service, and many large TVs showing every sporting event.
(5)Kelly B.
Brought a huge group to grand tavern. After our food arrived only part of it were we able to stomach eating. We broke a fork on a piece of meat it was that hard. Only after that did we all get very sick. I later checked their health code violations and I no longer needed to guess why...over 20!! Save your belly and eat somewhere clean.
(1)Don L.
First time visit. Seen this place on my Facebook feed and since we are from Michigan we wanted to give it a try. Noticed they have Detroit Coney dogs which we love! Arrived around 6:15 PM. There was a sign that said they are out of Coney dogs. Had I known this before, we wouldn't have went. Decided to try it any ways. The booth we were seated at smelled like old beer! I had the fish and chips. Two small pieces of fish with a really small serving of cole slaw with fries for $13.. WOW!!! SO not worth it!! Don't think we will be back.
(2)Alex B.
Great service, good, fresh food! Tastes allot like home! Our waitress Lauren was just amazing. Nice to see Midwest values down here. Maybe it will catch on. Very clean restaurant. Good hamburgers, soup, sandwiches, even the fried calamari was really good. And - reasonably priced.
(4)Hiram G.
Good spot to hangout after work. Not my favorite, but sill good. Their happy hour is 2 dll domestics and 3 dll the rest of their beers. They dont carrie craft beer however their selections is pretty wide. Most of the time the service is good but depends on the waitress/waiter. I had their Jalapeño cheese deep, and mahi mahi bites which are my favorites from this place. Also had the firecracker shrimp and was good as well. The main reason cause I give them three stars is because the bathroom need a lot of work and the service just like a said is not consistent. Overall its an ok place to grab a drink and move on

We were in town for a wedding, and my 14 y.o. eating machine and I were alone around lunch. I did a quick yelp recon, found this place, and we were off! We walked right in (Saturday lunch), and, letting the server know that we were going to head out to a wedding rehearsal in 25 min. We ordered, and our food was delivered relatively quickly. We passed the time watching the various games on the many TV's, including the Notre Dame Blue & Gold game (which really irritated my father-in-law - he did NOT get to watch it on his cable connection). The burgers were awesome, and the beer selection was great! My son was entranced with the size of both his burger and the tattoo on our (female) server's chest, but neither one stuck around too long, so we were able to make it to the rehearsal on time. If we were back in the area, I'd be looking for this place again. Recommended for sure!
(4)Sam M.
Best burger in town hands down. Also best specials. If you go Thursday it bogo burgers. The food is really good. Good beers on tap. Wednesday is buy one get one half off steaks/ ribs. Monday is buy one get one half entrees. Servers are nice.
(5)Jamie C.
Ordered take out late night since they're open until 2am and only place open other than fast food. The side Caesar salad and the tomato bisque soup were very good. The blackened salmon over fettuccine Alfredo was ok and the Mario's spicy rigatoni was ok. It wasn't spicy at all. I do want to try other items in the menu so I'll definitely go back. They have so many things on the menu.

Went to Grand Tavern today during my lunch hour. It was a nice place to go to! It is very clean and nice inside, I met up with my co-worker we went a little bit later in the afternoon so it wasn't as busy. We sat at the bar and it was fabulous. I was soooooo happy to see that they had Magners Pear -- It's literally like my absolute most favorite cider and it is not often to run into them so I was thoroughly impressed. Our bartender, Carole, gave my a nice icy cold glass and it was absolutely perfect. Carole, is by far the best bartender she was soooo nice and friends, joined in on our conversations and we just had an absolute great time chatting with her, and yet she is very professional and I watched her with the other customers and I just really admired how extremely friendly and attentive she was towards everyone. She knew everyones name that walked in. She wrote down my name and my co-workers name and said she will remember us, so I really liked that, it made me feel special, and I think thats a great attributing factor to me liking this place so much. Carole made us a cinnamon toast crunch shot, it was with fireball and rumchatta, and its literally the best shot ever, its seriously like a party in your mouth/cereal thats been spiked! Our other co worker showed up and we ordered another round of beers and ciders and then Carole made us a green tea shot and that was really good, it literally smells and tastes like green tea. I wanted a little something to snack on but I wanted to keep it light, I was in the mood for shrimp cocktail- they didn't have any but Carole really accommodated me and got me grilled shrimp with cocktail sauce and it was even better! My coworker ordered the mahi mahi bites and we were very happy. I got a salad to go....and me being the complicated person that I am and having to have my salads a special way was not a problem for them to do for me. I got a caesar salad with no croutons, and I added tomatoes, onions and bell peppers. Their caesar dressing is definitely really good, its not like other places! This definitely may be my new go to spot for lunch hour during the week. They have a great bar, it is such a good vibe there and their menu looks really good. They have an amazing salad selection and other foods of course, so I am excited to start coming back more often and getting food and drinks here.

I went to Grand Tavern with my college buddy. The atmosphere was ok, the food was marginal. When I tried to call back to speak to the manager, an older lady answered the phone, when I started telling her about my experience, she hung up on me. I called back three times and she hung up on me, 3 times. How do you expect to acquire or keep customers with such a rude, indifferent person answering your phones. The service was pathetic. I wish I could give a zero stars or negative...
(1)Mike L.
This place Rocks! Good food, good service and a friendly inviting environment. Megan is very sweet and is very attentive to the bar and all of the customers. The staff all seem very nice and always seem to serve with a smile. I've only been going there for a couple of weeks and already feel at home there. The salads are fresh and the daily specials are the best in Town. Got to stop in if you're in the area. 5 Stars for me!

We went on a Friday night and the place was packed....which is a good sign! We had a short 10 minute wait for a table that was no problem. After we were seated, we realized that a large majority of the people there were for a huge birthday party. The place was short staffed though. I don't know if they didn't realized this party was going to be there, but the poor servers were running ragged. It took a while for someone to come over, but we were in no rush. We ordered a Tom Collins and an Apple Martini. About 20 minutes later, the server brought the martini, but no Tom Collins. She said it "disappeared". Five minutes later she brought the Tom Collins, but it in no way resembled a Tom Collins. We sent it back and made it a simple order for a Gin & Tonic. It arrived 5 minutes later with no problems. We placed our order and about 20 minutes later our appetizer of jalapeno cheese and pretzel bread arrived. It was great!! The jalapeno cheese was a large, piping hot dish of the filling you get in a jalapeno popper....HEAVEN! The pretzel bread was also delicious and warm. The bad part was that we barely ate the appetizer when the food arrived! I hate to have to eat the appetizer as part of the main course! (that's why it's called APPETIZER!). Our food was a buffalo chicken sandwich and a chicken quesadilla. Both were good The real down side of the place was the noise. It was not from loud music, it was just from people talking! I don't think I have ever been in a louder place! We had to shout at each other all during the meal just to talk. Everyone in the place was shouting! It was as loud as a concert but there was no music. The noise level just killed the whole meal. I don't mind a bar or tavern if it is loud from a band, but just to have a mob of people yelling at each other made this a "don't rush back" place. The food was good, but we can get just as good of food elsewhere and be able to talk to each other over dinner!!!
(3)Tim B.
It's not 5 star dining but I have never been disappointed, the food is consistently good. Good specials, friendly service, and lots of TVs. Great place to watch a game.
(5)Liz B.
The good: The menu looks great - there are a variety of options. Lots of craft beers. Outdoor seating. The bad: not enough waitstaff on duty meant that our server had too many tables so everything took forever. The Caesar dressing is really sweet. The black bean burger was mediocre at best. It took an hour and 10 mins for lunch on a Sunday. This place has potential but I honestly would not go back.
(2)bob k.
Was in from out of town and wanted a place where we could all watch the NFL games. We got there 10 minutes before kick off and got a table right near the bar in the middle of the place. Could see every game they had. Waitress we had was smoking hot and took good care of all of us. The food was great, had appetizers and the coney special. Beers were priced well. They are Michigan bar and it was too crowded until 4 PM when the lions were about to play. Thats when we took off. Next time in town will head back to watch whatever else is playing.
(4)Ava O.
Great food! Reasonably priced! Good specials and fun nights out! always good time there! poor quality food chicken is never done but for the price its reasonable. trivia night is always fun
(3)L. T.
I went to Grand Tavern for lunch today. I had the greek flatbread special and it was awesome! I work nearby and visit here once every couple of weeks. I've had at least a dozen different dishes and never been disappointed. Carol is usually there at lunch but is on vacation. Meagan took care of me today and was great. I was told they are putting flatbreads on the regular menu next week. I highly recommend!
(5)Eric T.
Food was good, service was terrible. It took 45 mins to get our appetizer that ended up coming out 2 mins before our food. Our server stood at the front desk and chatted with the other waitresses who were also doing nothing. I never even was offered a drink refill. I blame it on poor management. It's unfortunate because the food is pretty good, but unless they get their act together this place is history. Everyone working in the place seemed like space cadets!

I had my first opportunity to try out the Grand Tavern that recently opened on East Linton in Delray Beach. It is in the old Lucille's Bad to the Bone location. I came across a coupon at Money Saver Coupons for $5 off $25. It was really noisy when we came in. There was a football game on the tube and several fans were hooting and hollering, so when the host suggested a table outside on this cool 73 degree evening we jumped on it. We ordered our drinks and checked out the menu. Michelle just wanted a salad but I wanted to taste some stuff that I could write about. I had read online that the Grand Tavern had some breakout burgers and I wish I had the appetite to taste them all. Since I could only try one burger on this visit, I requested the recommendation of our server, Daniel, who we found out is a student at FIU. Daniel, without hesitation, suggested the SmokeHouse Burger: 1/2 lb. burger topped with smoked bacon, melted cheddar cheese & crispy onion rings and a side of homemade potato chips. I agreed and ordered a PBR and an appetizer (in the name of science - taste test.) Yes, they have Pabst Blue Ribbon on tap. A throwback to my college drinking days. To compliment the beer I got the Buffalo Chicken Dip: mixed cheeses and Buffalo style chicken served with toasted pita chips for dipping. The dip was very hot and VERY cheesy. The pita chips were crisp and seasoned perfectly. I wasn't too fond of the dip so after a couple of tastes I asked for a "to-go" box. Michelle commented that her salad was quite fresh and crispy. After a short wait the burger arrived (with another PBR) and it looked stunning! Michelle laughed that there was no way I would get it in my mouth. She was correct so I mashed it down forgetting that I had not yet taken a picture. The Tastes and Textures Exploded in My Mouth like an Atom Bomb The burger did not appear to be a freshly hand formed patty, but when I took a bite I really didn't care. I got a full mouthful of flavors exploding on my palate like an atom bomb. Smoked bacon, cheese, burger, onion rings and bun all providing different textures at the same time. It was delicious. I ate half and packed the rest to go and enjoy the next day. I had a very nice experience at the Grand Tavern and I think you should give it a try. They have only been open a few months and I think the food will get even better over time. Give them a try and tell them you read about it here!
(4)Bernie B.
they have good burgers, but their fries are soggy and limp and disgusting.. they used to have great homemade chips, but they stopped that a year ago they told me today.. so i had to throw the fries away and they didnt even offer me anything else... just made excuses.. and the wait staff has never really been any good..

Walked in this afternoon, the day after Xmas and it was empty at 4 no big deal. Especially today which is a work and return presents day. Bartender nice enough for sure. Me and my buddy who lives near there and suggested it both got Dogfish 60's. Not a great slection but at least they had a few crafts on tap. We were pleased to learn that Thursday is 2 for 1 burger night. Yeah! So after our first beer we ordered the burgers and another beer and we went out to play pool in the outdoor pavilion area while waiting for it to be cooked. I immediately noticed that there were cigarette butts everywhere tons and various papers basically trash about and frankly it was dirty and my buddy mentioned that he smelt urine near the wall at the pool table. It could have been somebody from the other side as there is an old time smoking bar next door? But wow what a turn off. Also the pool table didn't have a bridge stick which was a bummer I need one and as well the floor was uneven and I am pretty sure by the way some balls broke the table is warped. Pool here is just for a kibbutz. We went in when the burgers were up and they were OK, not bad, just not great and not $10 dollar burgers but at two for one I won't complain about that. Noticed the rug near the side door hadn't been vacuumed. Nature called went to the rest room. Nothing bigger as a bummer than a dirty toilet seat that needed to be wiped up yech The toilet paper dispenser had so much dust upon it that it was obvious nobody cares too much about cleanliness here Shame on the management. (It made me wonder about the kitchen and my food preparation). Noticed no sign that employees must wash their hands, I thought that was a law? Not that bathrooms have to be attractive but on a scale of 1-10 being tops this was a 4. Looked into the kitchen and while I couldn't gauge cleanliness from a distance I would bet that if the restaurant makeover dudes were called in they would scrubbing the joint on their hands and knees. Yes plenty of TV's over the bar but you would get neck strain from looking almost straight up Better to sit at the high-tops not at the bar for viewing. I gave it two stars rather than 1 as you cannot screw up Dogfish 60 and the burger hit the hungry spot. But in summation Duffys down the street has this place beat by a mile It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't make it in which case I could see a real craft beer pub with grub coming in and pardon the pun cleaning up.

We were looking for a place to watch the Bears game on a Sunday. Been to Duffy's and Miller's - wanted to try someplace new. Grand Tavern fit the bill. 15 tv screens - all with small team pennants attached to the console to help you find your game when you walk in. I ordered the Grilled Italian sandwich - prepared with real ham and salami - not processed lunch meats. The sandwich fixings were delicious - served on toasted white bread. I think a heartier bread would make it better. My friend had the 10 oz sirloin. The steak was juicy and medium rare. Garlic seasoned broccoli and carrots were steamed perfectly. He didn't care for the french fries - they seemed to be processed potatoes that were then formed into a french fry shape. The outdoor area is dog friendly and also has a tv screen. Crowd was friendly. We sat near some Dolphins fans who didn't mind when we cheered for the Bears.

Great comfort food. If you want a juicey burger or yummy jalapeño poppers this is the joint. Great deals every day of the week. Thursday they have BOGO Burgers and Tuesdays is BOGO salads! Equipped with pool tables, dart boards and outdoor space to hang out. Great place to watch sports, have happy hour or chill on a boring rainy day.

Good hangout place to watch sports and have a few drinks. We went on a Tuesday night to watch the Red Wings play. This bar is owned by folks from Michigan, so of course the game was on many of the TVs, along with baseball and other channels. The bartender was super friendly and gave generous drink pours. The club sandwich was fresh, and the sweet potato fries were very good. We'll be back.

Grand tavern has really great food and the staff is friendly. Fun atmosphere with pool tables and a good crowd. This is a good place to go with a family or out on a friday night to have a couple drinks. They have sports games on the tv and even a DJ on the weekend. I personally had a good experience.

Food is great but that's about it. There is out door area with pool tables and a stage and bar but they do not open the outside bar and have never had a band out side.

Servers are SO nice! Husband's burger was good but my nachos were a mess. WAY too spicy (and I can handle spiciness) and was covered in what was an insult to cheez whiz...stick with duffys up the street.

Menu was just tweaked a bit, and lost some very tasty items. Food is always consistant. Service is always good. My big problem with the establishment is the restrooms. Needs a good scrubbing.

Very tasty burgers at great value. Hidden gem. Go for happy hour and apps. Sit at the bar.

I was in Delray Beach the week before the holiday and ended up at Grand Tavern 3 out of the 5 nights I was down there. The first meal I had was the mushroom swiss burger, cooked perfectly! The burger came out with 4 wine samples! The bartender came outside with 2 whites and 2 reds. What a nice surprise, right! The staff was very courteous and we were sitting out on the patio almost as soon as we walked in. My second meal at GT was the Ahi Tuna salad. Delicious and so fresh! The peanut Thai dressing packed a punch, so just a drizzle will do. The service was great! They were especially attentive to my 16 month old nephew, who is loud and messy. It was lunch time. No, I don't bring my nephew to the bar with me. I wonder if it would help me pick up a man though. :) The third meal was the Greek Salad with grilled chicken. Chicken was perfectly seasoned and grilled. There was plenty of feta cheese(some places skimp), beets, kalamata olives, peperoncini on super fresh greens. The dressing is unique too, creamy, maybe yogurt, pure delight! Its a great place! Good music, great service!

Farrell waited on us and was very good server. Tried the Smokehouse Burger with the chips and my wife got the the Tavern Sampler with Onion Rings, Chicken Wings and Spicy Cheese Sticks. This was the old Lucille's Bad to the Bone BBQ. When we were there they were busy, but not packed. Could see were things may get noisy if there a game one of the many TV's. The burger was OK, tasty, but a little over cooked (dry) and I would skip the chips and get fries next time. The Onion Rings were very good and the Spicy Cheese sticks were different. The Wings were a little to HOT for med so I am not sure we would get them again (I've had better). Overall, the prices were not bad and service was quick, so we will go back again. Someone else noted in their review that the burgers had changed from juicy to dry, so maybe they are still trying to get things dialed in or maybe they decide to go cheap. Only time will tell. Tuesday is buy 2 salads and get one free Thursday is buy 2 burgers and get one free

I was very disappointed by the lunch I had at Grand Tavern. The burgers were dry, overcooked, frozen, and had absolutely no seasoning. It's no wonder they have all types of crazy toppings on their burgers, because if they were to be tasted on their own, they would be laughed out of McDonald's. I paid $2 extra for sweet potato fries and they were very bland. The club sandwich was depressing as it looked like it came out of a hospital cafeteria. You can tell they don't really care about the food they are serving. Overall, this place is not worth the time or money.
