Tanner's is a one-and-done for us. Although it's been hard to get a business in here for the long haul, including two iterations of Italian-style restaurants, Tanner's 'redo' of the space is a complete disaster. It looks like the Northwoods or Backwoods, and not in a charming been-here-forever kind of way. It looks cheap and haphazardly put together, but there are dozens of TVs big and small to watch various sports. Add an uninspired menu, and I don't think we'll be back.

I like a sports bar as much as the next girl, but the NBA game was on SO LOUD that you could not talk to the person at your table. The weight staff was terrible, eventually had to go to the bar to ask for a new drink as well as my bill when it was time.

Got a response to my previous review on Tanners from the manager! This was a first for me since I have been yelping!!.More should read reviews and do likewise..He had a reasonable explanation for the Bud Light price[it was a special for theUW vs Nebraska game only,and price was not programmed into computer so bartender guessed] He took blame for not pricing and alerting employees...Also received a $5 gift card.

stopped in here after a badger bball game for dinner. the place was quite empty which was surprising. they had specials on food and beer so i would have thought it would attract a good crowd. not from this area so maybe the location was the issue? anyway, service was good and the food served its purpose. worth a shot if you are nearby.

Have been to this place several times now. I think I like it more and more. They really have good food. Lots of choices, all has been very tasty and good portions. Service has been good too. Its definitely a sports bar - lots of TV and a bit noisy if a game is on - but the food rocks and there are so many TVs that it has to be a go-to place for games. Looking forward to the next visit.

It is your typical sports bar, but the food is pretty good and they have relatively good service. There are certainly worse spots to go and this therefore rates as one of the better places for a sports bar venue.

I like to come here for drinks every so often. It is never really too busy, and I see what people say about the slow service. Most tables don't see well taken care of that I have observed; I also choose to sit at the bar, so have not experienced the table service myself. The food is not something that brings me in. I have tried different things, and I would only recommend the chicken enchilada soup. Grilled cheese, egg sandwich, reuben, tots...no good. I have had 3 bloody marys there (made by different people) so far and only liked one. They are $4 on Sundays, aren't "loaded" at all though

I came here with around 20 other people, and they were able to accommodate us pretty well (with a call beforehand of course). Server was nice, though a little impatient. Very chill atmosphere and a lot of options. Menu is pretty large. I got the ABLT, which I actually really enjoyed. Bread was toasty without butter and was dressed well. I love avocados, so that made the sandwich even better. Ordered it with sweet potato fries, which were good (though a tad too salty and very inconsistently cooked). The orders of the people I went with got mixed up, and some people didn't get the items they asked for, but I didn't expect much from one server waiting on 20 people (I thought they would assign at least two servers for us). For the number of people we had, service was pretty good, and the food came out at a reasonable time. I think I'll come back soon and try something different (with definitely less people).

Another year, another update. + Lunches cannot be beat here. FANTASTIC service - fast, friendly, proficient. Immediate refills on drinks. Simply outstanding. + Great appetizers. I regularly host little happy hours here for work, and the appetizers never disappoint. + Good happy hour specials - Still a slightly limited/plain tap beer menu, but it's not bad I dig the place. If you're trying to catch the game, hang with some pals, or grab a quick and tasty lunch, look no further.

Good spot to watch sports, good location w/parking. Everything else is just...meh. Which pains me, because in a sea of chain restaurants, a standalone spot could do really well at this location... but Tanner's has average food, service, and atmosphere. It's large and open, so you can usually find seating for groups up to 6-8- which also makes it extremely weird for groups of 4 sitting at a large round table. Menu is extensive, but the ~4 times I've been there, nothing really jumps out as great or memorable. Soda is really sweet, rum (that they swear is Bacardi) tastes weird, and service is just ok. Based on the location and prices I just expect more.

My most recent trip to Tanner's was on St. Patty's Day 2014. My hunny wanted to watch the Badger NCAA tournament game, so we went for that. I've been to Tanner's several times before for Team Trivia, but had only tried a small amount of food. I mean, you can't really screw up beer. We decided to never return to Tanner's after our experience on St. Patty's day. The TV was too loud and the food just wasn't good. I had boneless wings, or as Tanner's calls them, "chicken lips" (wtf?) with buffalo sauce. I consider myself somewhat of a wings connesieur (after all, I did win the Stony Hill Pub Atomic Wings Challenge in 2011). Actually, I dont really consider boneless wings to be wings anyway, but I digress. These "wings" arrived and were not even coated in sauce. They were like fried chicken tenders with the buffalo sauce on the side for dipping. I usually roll my eyes when people complain of food being too salty, because I like salt and that has hardly ever happened to me. Well, it happened to me at Tanner's. The "wings" were so salty that I couldn't eat more than 2. I was so bloated from all the salt that my ring got tight. Yes folks, Tanner's will give you sausage fingers. People with kidney problems or hypertension should probably avoid Tanner's at all costs. Oh yeah, my husband got tortilla chips and queso. The chips were, well, chips. The queso was bland and congealed upon being served. Also, the portion of queso was incredibly tiny (maybe 1/4 cup?) and thus the dish had a poor queso-to-chip ratio. We ran out of queso before finishing even half the chips. Sad face. Also, they call their burgers "boogas" which is dumb and sounds like "boogers", which does not make me want to eat one. Although it hurts me to say this, TGI Friday's across the street is probably a better bet. EDIT: I was walking past Tanner's yesterday (5/9/14) and noticed that TGI Fridays is now closed. The saving grace of Tanner's, and the reason they get 2 stars instead of 1 is that their Team Trivia is pretty fun. Maybe just stick to drinks though if you go.

First time at Tanners and we won't be going back. The restaurant was busy but the service was horrible. We waited over an hour for our food and one item never arrived. The table next to us was filled with dirty dishes and was never cleaned the entire time we were there (2 hours). The manager came over to apologize for the wait and offer a discount. When the billed arrived, no discount and the item we never received was still on the bill. We let our server know if these mistakes and the manager did fix it but even still the experience was not good so we aren't rushing back.

I had the chicken tender salad. It was good but the "our famous tater tots" were just the stuff out of the bag. I felt that I've been had. If they had something in the tots that were different or even ON them, I'd understand but they didn't.

It's a bar, and it's bar food, so set your expectations accordingly and you'll be fine. I've been here a couple times both to play team trivia, and the current trivia host here is one of our team's favorites in the entire area, which is probably the most likely reason we'll return. The layout can be a bit crowded when big groups are pushing together tables if you are trying to get up (to turn in trivia answers, to go to the bathroom, etc.), and I'm sure it's a challenge for the servers (between the noise and the crowd, ours had to go halfway around the restaurant to get around to the other side of our table for taking orders- but to his credit he never complained and was very attentive!).

I was one of a group of 6 people who came in to watch the playoff football game at Tanner's. When I asked for the channel to be changed to the game that we went there to watch; the guy behind the bar, Matt, stated "It's 3:30 now and kick off isn't until 3:35 - don't worry, I will turn it on when it's time!". The server immediately apologized for his rudeness. I told her it would not affect her, I just simply won't go back. I will go to one of the more established sports bars in Madison, instead of supporting my local community - I live within walking distance from Tanner's. By the way, I found out that Matt is the General Manager. PS: Fans like to watch pre-game.

Meh. Period. Beer in plastic cups tasted funny. Skipped on the food and went across the street.

Recently had Tanners on a Thursday night, bar was fairly packed. We had 3 in our party and grabbed a table off to the side. We looked over the menu and our waitress came out and took our drink orders. We ordered a turkey wrap, chicken lips and some other sandwhich. The chicken lips were boring, nothing special liked the menu portrays them to be.... I really want to like Tanners however I can't stand the crappy food. Last time I visited i had a chicken parmesan and it wasn't all that great either. Guess I will stick with Cheeseburger in Paradise, Claddagh Irish Pub, or TGI Fridays if i want something even half decent....

Do not bother, really...the food is average, the service simply sucks. I was there on Saturday 10/8 around 8:30 PM, we waited for about 20 minutes while the servers simply ignored us despite us trying to get their attention, especially a short blond waitress which refused to tell me her name, even though she served the table next to ours.... We had to get up and request services, got the food without utensils, they forgot the appetizer as well. Go somewhere where customers are valued. UPDATE: The manager contacted me , his response shows super quality on his behalf, no doubt he really cares about the place, I am impressed. I hope to see more managers like this around. just wow!

We found Tanner's this past summer. We like sports pubs and eating at Hi-tops or the bar. So the atmosphere is nice. We have been there at least 10 times since our first visit. Other reviewers are accurate in saying the service depends on the server. Most of the time we have the burgers, and they are very ggod, usually cooked right, but the fries are always scarce,. I even contacted the manager via their wbsite and all he wrote back was we feel we give comptitive protion sizes--I counted them one time--14 fries and they were not big fries. We went last time about two months ago and quit going there when were told a buger was on special, the bill came and I asked about it. The manager came over and proceeded to tell me I was told wrong, but did not offer to meet the told price and I mentioned the fries to the waitress as i ordered and she assured me I would get an adult, not child portion--I got the latter. We like the place, but now haven't been going since then. Our first time was the very best service, and its slipped slowly since then. We continue to go to Greenway station, but to the other restaurants instead about 6 or seven times a month since we live near by and shop there often.

Bored, I decided to give this one a try. In retrospect, I should have stayed bored. Tanner's is a Midwestern chain of sports bars. In fact, I was at one a few years ago in Overland Park, KS. I don't remember how it was, so this review is based solely on this location. The decor is sports bar, the walls are decorated with Badger paraphernalia, there are a couple of big screen televisions, and the classic, not as young as she wants you to think, bleach blonde bartender with bad skin, is working the bar. Can they screw up a Fat Tire? No, they can't and if all I did was drink, the review would be higher in the stars category. However, I made the mistake of ordering something to eat. I ordered Chicken Lips, which is Tanner's take on chicken fingers. Tanner's version is bland, tasteless, not greasy, but rather kind of sinewy and dry. The sweet potato fries were soggy, not crisp and again, bland. It is odd to me that such a bar would set itself up across the shopping plaza from TGI Friday's, offer relatively the same bar food and yet prepare it worse makes no sense to me. Maybe the business formula of putting a sports bar in a corporate park, surrounded by a few corporate motels and hoping the deuche bag creepy business travelers will flock to your door to sit around make small talk with the bar maid and spend their expense account on beer is the one they presented to the bank. I guess we will wait to see how long this one lasts and who the next tenant at Greenway Station will be.

Just an update. My husband and I still went here pretty regularly since we like the drummies. We won't be back again after our experience today. They brought our beverages, including our toddler's milk, and we all drank our beverages while we waited for our food. A couple minutes later, our son started projectile vomiting in the restaurant. We cleaned it up and asked for our food to go. My husband tasted our toddler's milk and it.was.rancid..... OMG. We told the server about the milk and they were nice enough to give us a gift card, but we won't be returning to use it. Our toddler proceeded to throw up for most of the rest of the day. If they aren't watching their milk for spoilage, what else aren't they watching?
