XYZ the Tavern

"Went there over the weekend to celebrate a friend's birthday. Pizza was okay, and they have a good amount of a variety of drinks. The 2nd floor was spacious and had lots of potential for hosting events. It was an enjoyable place to be in."

"A great chill Tavern spot downtown for friends to relax with awesome quality food and wonderful prices. Service is super friendly. Street parking can be tough in busy hours. Full review: Quality of food is really delicious and quality. When busy it will take some time to get your food but that is expected. For the prices they are amazing. Waffles were delicious and chicken was not tough. Cheese filled crepes are absolutely amazing. Ambience is pretty lively and a great place for fam and friends. Would not recommend for kids. Service is super friendly and helpful, but as with anything downtown parking can be tough. Limited vegan and vegetarian options, but am sure menu items fan be modified. Just ask."

"The service was the star. The food was tasteless, I had chicken and waffles. The chicken was not seasoned. The waffles were bland. I wouldn't recommend or suggest them. The two servers were attentive and did a great service, offered fresh coffee, let us know brunch would be over soon and the lunch menu was available ."

"I have absolutely no complaints about this place. We went on a whim. Upon walking into this place, you smell the it leads the way. We sat indoors since it was a bit cool, but the food would've heated us up quickly cause we dove in immediately! The pita chips that some with the spinach artichoke dip are AMAZING. Fresh! Crispy! They're the best I've ever had. The spinach artichoke dip was very chunky. Not the way i prefer it, but it was still good. The BBQ pulled pork was finely shredded. I get so tired of getting chunky pulled pork when I order it, so it was very nice to have it shredded to my liking. FYI, I did not ask that they do it. The sauce was so-so, but it didn't take away from it being good. The ribs literally melted in your mouth. They didn't give you that "fresh off the grill or smoker" kind of feel but still top-notch. My friend got the brisket & said it was by far the best she has ever had. The Cole slaw is homemade and delicious. Cole slaw is very subjective because everyone has their own take, but #winning. The fries were great. And they give a hefty amount of everything. The pizza looked amazing. It will definitely be ordered next time. Long story short, I will return."

"Came here after visiting 78th street studios for some food and drinks with a couple friends. Really nice establishment with good food. We got a pizza, walleye platter, chicken and waffles, and a burger. All dishes were very tasty. Oh and got the salmon and cracker appetizer that came with a horseradish sauce. It was pretty tasty. Nice cozy bar. I'd stop back in for another visit."
