8 reviews for Tavern On the Main
I wasn't quite sure what to expect from Tavern On the Main, so I decided to go there for dinner one night and find out what it was all about!
I enjoyed the burger and fries I got, good portions, tasty food and the price was right. Enjoyed a bottle of Stella for $3.50 (not too bad), and while it seemed like we were some of the younger patrons in the place, I didn't mind it. Plus, they've got Keno, who doesn't like that? :)
Will definitely be going back, especially for the patio in the summer!

I've been enjoying this families restaurants for many years. Greek flair with nothing but first class food and drinks. Their Greek salad with grilled chicken or Tavern Burger with black Angus beef is to come back for again and again. In the summer the outside patio is total relaxation. Tell the owner Tommy hi from Kathy and Doug.
Believe it or not, I'm not a big drinker. I actually like Tavern on the Main for its really good burgers. I should probably say great burgers. When you order a burger, they bring you a condiment tray with pickles, peppers, and other good stuff....a nice "extra". I usually sit at the bar (even if getting just a burger), so I gotta mention Rachel who works behind the bar, she's wonderful....works hard to make sure your visit is a good one. If you sit at the tables, it's hit or miss with the other wait staff.....sometimes they're kinda moody. Typical bar atmosphere. On a busy night, the atmosphere is kinda frantic with the staff literally running around the place. In warm weather, the outdoor patio is really nice.

Absolutely amazing! The cooks in this restaurant are pros, they must really know what they are doing, because my order is always made right and it's just the way I want it. The food here is delish! I give the cooks a 5 star, I have seen the kitchen; and it's rather small and these guys spin the food out like they have a full kitchen. The couple that owns this place are very friendly, Along with their waitstaff.

I'm a bit torn on this review. I have a up & down relationship with this place, which I frequent at least once a month.
The pros:
Great beer & drinks at unbeatable prices (32oz of Bells Oberon for $4 or $5)
Cheap decent bar food (Good burgers, chicken sandwiches, fair salmon, etc.)
Good place to catch a game (if you are in the main room)
Touch Screen games at 3 of the tables
Did I already mention awesome drink prices, well let's just give another shout out for cheap booze!
The cons:
There is a waitress here who can ruin your dinner or drinks if you draw one of her tables. I won't call her out by name but she clearly discriminates against people under the age of 40 (we are late 20's, very laid back, not demanding) - you only get good service if you are a close personal friend. Despite consistently tipping 20%, this hasn't changed in two years of coming here. We've had the owner come over and apologize to us because she noticed our drinks had been empty for over 15 minutes while our waitress was sitting down yacking away with her more preferred customers.
Despite this, we still frequent the place - it's the go-to restaurant when we want a cheap, low-key meal and a couple tasty beverages. I should also mention that the rest of the wait staff is extremely attentive, pleasant and prompt. I wouldn't hesitate going here for good bar food at some of the best prices around.

We usually hit this place up on our yearly Clawson pub crawl. They have decent beer specials and the food is pretty good. The fries are our favorite. They do a have a non-smoking section, but to get there you have to walk through the smoking section.

This would be a great dive bar... if it wasn't so polished. What was really striking on first going to the Tavern was that it stacks up against all the other Clawson bars very well - I'd put it at #2, right behind the Lotus.
They have a fully stocked bar, awesome beer specials, and a full kitchen.
I'd recommend trying the Tavern burger - bacon, swiss, ciabatta and tasty! There's also a drink special that's super cheap - but the name of the special escapes me - but it's tap beer served in a football shaped mug. Ask about it! (I'd also suggest getting Blue Moon with that special)
In all, the Tavern is a comfortable and clean place to have a few pints with your nearest and dearest. It'd be a welcome change from the shoulder-to-shoulder crowds in the other Clawson bars!
Best Grilled Chicken Sandwich in the area! Owner is a stand-up guy and the wait staff is very friendly!
