Dan's Downtown Tavern

The building that Dan's is in has real sentimental value to me. It used to be a bar called The Keg and when it was my grandma worked there. She was the bar tender there for many years of my childhood. I have memories of playing in the creepy ass basement, pouring myself a fountain pop behind the bar, pretending like the women's bathroom was my apartment, and probably annoying the shit out of the regulars by playing Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You or Bryan Adam's Everything I Do on the jukebox. But enough about The Keg. Let's talk about Dan's. I love that they've expanded the bar into the following two or three storefronts. It doesn't really feel like that small little hole in the wall that The Keg was. The food is pretty good and the staff is friendly. I'll never say no to going to Dan's, just for the nostalgia and to feel closer to my grandma while I'm there, but also for what Dan's itself has to offer.

Dan's is my favorite place to go to in Saline. Fun place to go to if you're looking to meet up for a drink, they have a huge draft list and a cute bar area. Food here is always great too-their fries and ranch are the best! Service is always great, and food usually comes out fast. They recently redid their dining area and it looks great. During the summer they also have outdoor seating which is nice!

Came here to wrap up an evening with friends. We had nachos and onion rings and both were good. Our server was very friendly and on top of things. It's a great place to hang out with friends, with both indoor and outdoor options.

Dan's is the definition of great bar food. A seat yourself restaurant with a casual atmosphere. Servers are always friendly and accommodating. I've been a supporter of Dans for years as it used to be the best place to grab a burger around town. However, I'm a little disappointed with the change to smash burgers and removal of their awesome beer battered fries. Instead of one thick burger patty it's two thin patties that are hard to order rare. Just one reviewers option but I will always opt for a thick patty over a smash burger. Toppings, fries and drinks are still great and we'll likely be back for other menu items!

Great Burger & Beer PlaceOur favorite local dive. Good food, great service, always sports on the TV's

Had another phenomenal experience here yesterday. Went here for a few drinks and lunch, and again, this place did not disappoint!I tried a few of the beers from their extensive list, and my fiancé had the Bourbon Smash, which was awesome! We ordered the lobster ravioli with grilled shrimp, and it was absolutely delicious! Came with asparagus and the sauce used was absolutely decadent!Our bartender Jessica was absolutely amazing, and we also found out she went to school with my Fiancés daughter, and they knew many mutual people. Made the visit even that more special. We all had lots in common as well which made the chit chat very personal. This is one of our favorite places to go on date day, and we highly recommend visiting this establishment!

Great food, speedy and friendly service, reasonable prices and although the place was at approx 20% capacity with patrons, I was able to carry a conversation without shouting. Noise level in taverns can be obnoxiously loud but not here. It's lively but not over powering. Great place! Will definitely go back again.Recommend the burger with sauteed onions and sweet potato fries.

Absolutely horrible service.Came in and sat at the bar. 5 minutes went by before being greeting. Service did not improve from there. Bar staff spent most of the time sticking cooler or eating. Never checked in. Always had to be flagged down. The place was not busy. Very frustrating and disappointing experience. Will not be returning.

For years, decades even, Dan's had the best burgers in all of south east Michigan! A half pound of delicious, juicy, medium rare goodness! Not any more. For some unknown reason, they've gone to smashburgers only. Thin patties that come out overcooked, no matter your preference. Even after Covid, when they raised their prices, we still went there for the incomparable burgers. Sorry, Dan, but no more. We don't know why you ruined the best burger around, but we won't be back until (and unless) the real burgers come back.

Food and drink service was HORRIBLE!! It took them 30mins just to get our drinks when there was only 3 tables filled which was either 3 or LESS people and the food was tasted so bad it was the dirtiest restaurant I have ever been to!
