Takoda Tavern

I came here for the first time about a week ago to meet up with some family in the area. I would say this place is okay overall. They had plenty of TV's which was perfect as it was Sunday and NFL games were on. They had every game on possible which was nice! There is a downstairs and an upstairs to the tavern. Both have their own separate bar. It was fairly busy which is promising! We ended up sharing a few different appetizers. While ordering, the waitress did not write down one of our items, and then she wrote down the incorrect one for another... She came back to our table and said "I am sorry, what was the second thing you asked for? All that I wrote down was fried." Kind of upsetting that she wasn't paying attention for the 30 seconds we were ordering. We also ordered the green chili cheese fries, but she brought us the sweet potato and fried green bean basket instead... Not sure how you get those mixed up. The food was delicious overall! The cheese curds were nice and warm and were perfect bite sized pieces. The green chili cheese fries were delicious once we received them. The potato skins were probably the best thing we ordered! The fried cauliflower was not good... it was somehow undercooked in the middle, but the outside was very soggy and gross. I would maybe go back one more time to give it another try, but I am in no rush.

Takoda is remarkably average. While it has two levels and a decent amount of seating, it feels somehow caught in between a bar that happens to serve food or a cafe that happens to have alcohol. The menu isn't very big but has all the normal things you would expect at a cafe with the bonus of a small Mexican food section. Our server was okay and decently attentive but did not have any enthusiasm whatsoever. It felt like she hated her job. The food was nothing special and wouldn't be the reason I returned, but it was cost effective.

Went in for the first time ever and the first story was really stinky. It smelled like a bathroom in there. Food was very mediocre. Service was good though our server was very sweet very helpful the owner even stopped by to check in. Just very basic bar food not a ton of flavor they have a lot of good deals on drinks id probably only go in to drink.

Came up for game 6 with nuggets tonight and although the Murray couldn't make a bucket to save his life, Takoda didn't disappoint. Service was top notch. New server Maiya was so nice and prompt with our orders. She made a slow start of a game much better. We had drinks and a few apps. Blue Buffall fries were good and nachos also hit the spot. Love this local joint and even if Murray never gets his sh*t together I'll still be back.

We stopped in after work to check the place out. It had a friendly environment and the wait staff was great, particularly Brooke. We didn't catch any live music (it was a Thursday) though. I tried their brisket sandwich, which wasn't bad, but it was a bit small. My wife really enjoyed the loaded nachos.

This is a neighborhood bar and grill with reasonable prices and friendly staff. It's better to eat at home--food seems mostly frozen and fried to order type thing. Bartenders are super friendly and accommodating. Friendly crowd, seems like a lot of regulars. A Cheers type place as somebody else mentioned!

Love Takoda Tavern- the food is delicious, wonderful service and beautiful view from the incredible up-top patio! A great place to relax!!

The burger was good but the kids chicken fingers was tooo fried and not edible. It is kid friendly but the food for our little one was not edible so we wouldn't be eating there.

We had decided a long time ago, not to return to this restaurant but at the urging of my wife, we returned. Last time I ordered a club sandwich and the plate was swimming in water, like it had just came out of the washer and not dried off, so I dealt with a soggy bread sandwich. This time I ordered the Fish and chips, well I should say, eventually ordered Fish and Chips. We walked in and we picked seat and a server came over, got our drink order and returned within about 1 minute with the drinks. GREAT!!! She asked if we were ready to order, Well it's only been a minute and I wasn't too sure and my wife hadn't finished reading half of the menu, so we asked for like one more minute to narrow down what we wanted. And folks.....that was the last we saw of her. So after 15 minutes passed, my wife gets up, walks over to where the other servers were hanging out and asked if someone could take our order. She described the server we originally had and the other server she was talking to said. "Oh I haven't see her in quite a while, I don't know where she's at"... And at the 16 minute mark, she shows up to our table. I ordered the fish and chips, it eventually arrives and it looked kinda dark. So I go to break off a piece and it doesn't budge.. Hummmm odd... So I tried really hard and it eventually Snaps in half. Yes S N A P E D apart. Like a hard Ginger snap cookie. I looked inside for fish and found a hard baked white substance. No moisture just a thick leathery outer coating of breading that had gone into the deep fryer while the cook went off to something else and eventually returned maybe 5 or 10 minutes too late. So Nummy.... trying to chew a rock in my mouth. So I tried to coat it in the tartar sauce. Oh their batting a 1000 here. It was Miracle Whip with only lemon juice added. That's not Tartar Sauce for fish and chips. No relish what so ever in it. I happen to mention our experience to my neighbors. They laughed and said they ate there once too and never again. How does this place stay in business? Maybe its the Bar that brings the revenue in because you can't stay in business with out returning customers. That's basic business 101. and before you ask... No we didn't get any refills on a soda and Ice Tea. They should change the name to... The Dump.

It's been a few years since we visited Takoda. After a below average breakfast we decided not to go back, service and food was not acceptable. Today 11-11-24 I thought we should give them another chance.Arrived About 5:30 plenty of empty tables. We sat at a high top and waited. Waited and waited After 6 minutes and none of the servers acknowledged us. We walked out for the last time. We tried to make eye contact with two servers but they just didn't seem interested. What a shame
