Tabor Tavern

If you want a no frills delicious meal in Portland, check out Tabor Tavern. I recommend any one of their burgers and fries, and wash it down with something great from their tap list. The apps are also fun, and there's something for every palette. The bartender and servers are friendly, and I find this to be a good "easy" option in the neighborhood.There's nothing trendy about this place, it's a neighbhorhood classic.

I gotta say, this is a hard review to write. We have been coming to Tabor Tavern for years. It's such a great spot, but lately the quality and customer service have diminished. A while back we placed a to-go order and when we arrived to pick it up, they were only accepting cash. No big deal other than they didn't tell us when we placed the order. Ok, fine.The last time we picked up our order, there was a piece of plastic in the burger. Gross, but we reluctantly decided to just deal.Today? Picked up a Tabor Burger only instead of arugula in it as the menu states, it had some spring mix on it and the French fries were stone cold. It was not good and now we're really frustrated. We are starting to feel scammed by this place. Why are they not checking in with customers when their credit card machines are down or when they are out of an ingredient? Why is there plastic in the food? We're bummed, but we can't sit idly by anymore. We hope you all have better luck there, but we're going to take a break from this place.

Atmosphere: Good, neighborhood bar with some TV's. Especially lively if you go during a Bills game.Food: Don't believe I got food but want to try the wings.Price: I was drinking cheap beers so cheers for having those.Service: Great service, friendly staffParking: Street parking

Went to Tabor Tavern for the first time in a while. I was lured in by their online menu, but when there the menu didn't seem as alluring. Prices seemed high for what they were offering.Got the burger, because it had been a while. I was disappointed. Undercooked, but also charred on the outside. Not to mention the sauce was not very tasty.I now remember why I stopped going there. They had great burgers many years ago, but it seems like they changed something in the kitchen and it has not been great since.The fries were okay and the service was good, hence the second star.

I really DO recommend the Tabor tavern!Literally down the street from an airbnb I frequent in PDX. The first time I was there, I passed by multiple times, observing locals enjoying their meals outside and inside, but never stopped in.This past trip, when hungry and looking for something easy, we walked right over and were seated immediately. We got there at 5:40, JUST missing their happy hour, which looks pretty excellent. On the other hand, I ordered the kale caesar and my husband got the burger and we both enjoyed our meals tremendously. Fresh ingredients and skilled execution coming out of the kitchen.The other thing I REALLY like about the Tabor Tavern, something I wish were true where I live on the East Coast is that this is a true neighborhood spot. On the East coast, an establishment may be described as a "neighborhood" spot in the vibe they are trying to grow with their customers. The Tabor Tavern is actually embedded in a neighborhood, with not much else around. The realness of that is appreciated!

I got a kids meal version of the fish and chips and def was best fish and chips I've had maybe EVER. Was really good and cheap ($9). I had some fish and chips at Jake's seafood grill for like $27 and it SUCKED ASS compared to this place! Good vibes of the place and good service

Tabor Tavern is a hidden gem in Portland food culture. A great neighborhood eatery with some incredible options of appetizers and entree's.They also have a full bar with some tasty options for beer and cocktails. The staff is great. Very attentive, welcoming, and provide amazing service.Some of the best go-to's are burgers on the menu, the fish & chips, and more. Great place for a friendly lunch, spot to watch game, or simply enjoy a good meal. Will definitely be returning.

Food and beer was good. Went with friends and our dogs, so we sat on the patio out front. Felt like we were a nuisance to the server more than anything else. Felt very awkward and just put a hamper on everything.

My partner and I were running around looking at some houses and realized that while we had an appointment elsewhere later in the evening, there was no way we were going to be up for that if we didn't have dinner. She pulled up a quick search and Tabor Tavern hit on "gastropub" and that pretty much made the decision.That turned out to be a very solid decision indeed. The beer board had enough tempting brews with which we weren't familiar to merit several tastings -- she wound up with the Nitro Wild Ride Vanilla Cream Ale, I wound up with the Von Ebert Volatile Substance. We ordered, and while waiting, surveyed the surroundings. It was a very nice traditional pub, some nice touches. The ceiling fan that was actually spinning two rotary fans was very cool -- and the extra cooling was very welcome! The service was prompt enough for a lazy Sunday evening dinner, and very attentive. At no point did we feel rushed, nor ignored. The perfect balance.Dinner arrived and there was much rejoicing. My partner got the pepper crusted seared ahi with a salad and chips; I got the lamb burger and pub fries.I elected to lose the harissa sauce that the burger came with and substitute the horseradish from the steak frites. That worked swimmingly, once I got enough horseradish on board to have the desired effect. Everything was super tasty. We're likely to keep this on the "repeat as needed" list for when we're in the neighborhood.

This is a really sweet neighborhood spotwith great food and friendly staff. We love it here and definitely recommend.
