I really wanted to like this place, but was pretty disappointed. We seated ourselves and waited about 15 minutes for anyone to come take our drink order. We were about to leave when she finally showed up. It wasn’t busy on our side- we set on the side with tables & booths opposite the bar. Maybe 2 other tables.We finally received our beverages and were ready to order. I wanted the Broasted chicken, but was told they no longer offer the 2 piece. I would have to get 1/2 chicken or whole chicken. ?. I have a hard time getting through more than one piece and part of a side. She left and came back 5 minutes later- I ordered a burger. I don’t recall what my hubby ordered, but she said they were out of it- to pick something else. He was trying to quickly come up with an alternative. She didn’t want to wait, and said she would come back….she went off playing on her cell phone. She came back 10 minutes later- finally took our order. We received the food very quickly.I got the burger and it was very basic. No lettuce, pickle, tomato, onion…..just a burger with cheese. Very unimpressive. My hubby got his food and he was felt like it lacked flavor. We were out of drinks- like zero to drink and she never came back by to get us another beer, didn’t offer water. Nothing. We saw her back on her cell phone.The service was poor and food just okay. It wasn’t bad, but nothing that would make me want to return.I liked the way the restaurant was a bit separate from the bar if you had youth with or friends that don’t drink. Maybe we would have had better drink service on the other side? I’m not sure, maybe this side doesn’t expect you to order alcohol. It was just odd. We had wanted desserts, but when we asked the waitress she said they don’t have desserts. We paid and left.We ended up going to the bar across the street. They have a mile high chocolate cake and great service. Free popcorn too. It was our only time coming to this restaurant and probably the last.

I was not impressed by the food. I had a burger and cole slaw. I did not care for the slaw at all. And the burger was so so. My friend also ordered a burger and stated the potato salad was not very good either.

$10 breakfast plate, no beverage included. I was the only person there. Total bill over $25, without tip. Just to see if they could do any better on this my second time around, I ordered an English muffin. Still flimsy as if it was still un-toasted. And let's be honest a english muffin goes for less in a hotel than these prices. Do Not Go Here

I reserved a table for 12 to watch the Super Bowl and they were happy to accommodate. The place was not too crowded and had plenty of TVs to see the game no matter what angle you were sitting. Great atmosphere. The staff were great, the food and drinks were good and I could tell that our business was welcomed. They also had a great whiskey selection. A Rochester gem!

It is a shame that they took the two piece chicken dinner off menu. Also the Philly sandwich is so small. Good, but small especially for the price.Service was barely adequate but not the servers fault. To few service workers.
We had to seat ourselves then wait for someone to notice the table we were at.Ordered Nachos and Cheese Curds. Nachos were cold when they arrived.Nachos had LOT of diced tomatoes for some reason. Why make your nachos soggy with the tomatoes?Cheese Curds were ok. A bit moist, so not my preference.Service took forever...Waitress checked up on us one time in the almost 90min we waited around.We had a completely different waitress check on us and didnt know we were ready to leave.We waited more... and more...Eventually got sick of waiting and had to find someone to pay out our bill.

Food tasted better than it looked, and that's not saying much. Waitress never came back around. Really long wait times for being super slow in the diner. The atmosphere was the best thing about the experience. Overall, I would not recommend.

What a bad bizarre place. There's threatened and endangered stuffed animals all over the walls. The most jarring is the water fowl when you walk in, like a horror movie but worse as they all look like they are going to attack you.We had some of their sandwiches and they were the most bland, flavorless things I've had in a long time. The Frisco melt was awful. The Frisco at Hardee's has 100 times more flavor.For the price and the atmosphere, this place isn't worth it.This restaurant closing in 2024 is on my Rochester Businesses Closing Bingo.
Neighbood bar with consistently good service, food and drinks.

Tavern 22 is a great location to meet up with friends or co-workers for a drink and apps, to take your family (including kids) for dinner, have a business meeting, or a laid back date night! The restaurant has a feeling of 2 areas, the bar and grill kind of atmosphere, with pool tables and arcade games, a large bar with endless options of beers on tap or just about any other cocktail of your liking, and TV’s to watch just about any sporting event possible! The other “side” of the business is set up perfectly to have a sit down dinner or business meeting that makes it feel like you aren’t in a bar setting. Tavern 22 offers a large menu that would satisfy any craving and is executed very well! The staff is always friendly, smiling, and knows the menu well, so they can answer any questions and make recommendations! The restaurant and restrooms are very clean! Tavern 22 has great outdoor patio with fire pits to stay comfortable in the Minnesota weather. With limited restaurant options in NE Rochester, this is a great option to choose from!
Food was excellent! My experience may have been different if I were out in the restaurant as the atmosphere looked lovely. We were in a private room and it looked and felt bland and lacking that special something. Bright fluorescent lights and white walls, i guess the feel was school classroom.

My first time in. Great staff and good beer selection. Only had a beer so no opinion on food as of yet! Will be back to try the food.
