The Griffin Tavern

I loved this place! The vibe was cool "happy hour," while their food was absolutely on point as well. The servers were all kind, even dressed up since we went on Halloween which was fun. Parking was easy too. The fried jalapeños & pickles were unique & delicious, my favorite of everything. The jam burger was very explorative as well. Although the bacon was somewhat tough, the flavor was amazing. The sweet potatoes were a hit too. The burger was big enough for 2 to split with an apple which was a nice surprise! Will be back to try more

Grilled chicken sandwich was good. I liked the salad, too. I got the food to go. The food arrived quickly. It wasn't too busy at the time. Chill ambiance. Bar atmosphere.

Super awesome place. Stopped in for the 2nd time. Order the Jam burger and salads. Super delicious.Service was greatAmbiance is cool with good TV's.

Good food, and great drinks. service is decent, happy hour is great. Bonus is that we were given the wrong menus and overcharged by a coupleDollars, when brought into our waitresses attention the manager came over and gave us a couple drinks over a $2 dispute. Bonus- the old fashioneds are awesome. Cajun chicken sandwich aka delicious and totally are super crunchy! Great spot.

Repeat Five Star visit thanks to the exceptional service from the bar team (Stacie, Owen, Shelby) as well as the food quality. "Owner-man" Will is often circulating and running food. Nice guy!Owen makes a worthy Rye Manhattan on a rock, for dessert!My latest go-to is the wedge salad, add crispy chicken. I observed a neighbor having a Caesar, so I may give that a try on next visit.The place is usually jammin' busy during HH with Tech Center employees. It also has an industry crowd later in the eve.

A friend suggested Griffin Tavern for happy hour, and since I hadn't been there, I quickly agreed. The menu looked promising, and we were warmly greeted by the man behind the bar as soon as we walked in. The whole place was smaller than I had expected but it was comfortable. The draft beer specials were on a chalk board next to the fireplace. Our server was Carly and she was prompt and pleasant - even as the place filled up. We ordered the dry ribs and egg rolls to start. I didn't like either of those but the egg rolls were fried to a dark brown and dripping grease so we sent them back. Carly told us that they had new management but I can't imagine the kitchen staff wouldn't change the oil in the deep fryer more often. The ribs weren't what I expected - they were very small pieces of meat and fat with a sliver of bone that required careful eating. They were also fried which I thought was strange. The sauce that came with them was good but I could only eat one. Then we ordered the poutine, which was a large portion and very good. The pretzel bites came with mustard as well as 2 kinds of cheese sauce and were good too. I really enjoyed my Old Fashioneds and the guys liked their beers. Girlfriend had the basic vodka/sprite/cranberry and it was fine.I felt like this was a neighborhood hangout and if I do go back I'll try one of their burgers.

Always great service as usual!!! The beer is always cold and the wine selection isn't huge but definitely great options.The cheese curds are some of my favorite appetizers. I am happy I tried the dry ribs but they were more like small pork rinds which were flavorful with the dip but not worth the price and definitely not enough meet. The breakfast sandwich was good too but also light on the protein.

Cool little tavern in a somewhat hard to find/secluded location. They have a decent beer selection, full bar, and most importantly burgers cooked to order. It is definitely a bit of a greasy burger, but many times you aim for that. They also offer a few different types of fries, and shoestrings were on that list - which are my favorite. The staff were nice and talkative, and they are behind a horseshoe(ish) bar. Definitely worth a try if you want a burger near the Landmark area. 3.5 stars.

This is a little gem in the DTC. It is nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. The service was great, the food was fresh and delicious. We were able to sit and enjoy our conversation without competing over loud music. We will be back!The cheese pillows, egg rolls, burgers and salad were all great. No leftovers at our table.

Best burger I've had in quite some time! Great folks too. Check them out. There was a power failure that night but they powered through.
