Tavern United Portage la Prairie — Restaurant in Portage la Prairie

Unsure if I’ll ever return.EVER. We’d given this place MANY chances during dog shows but this time topped it off as our worst experience yet. Night 1 they said 20 min wait for food. Turned into just over an hour…for a quesadilla and spinach dip….and dip tasted like dirt. I didn’t even eat it, the quesadilla seemed fine.

Second night we did eat in, give them another chance. I asked for shaker fries with boneless bites and ended up with chips, and no less bites that lacked sauce…..my mother got a quesadilla with regular fries and was given a soggy, not even cooked quesadilla with seasoned fries that she didn’t even order. Sent back and was given a half rock hard quesadilla in return.

I decided I wanted just shaker fries so we went up and waiting about 40 mins after being given drinks for the waiter to return to take our food order. We decided we were NOT eating after that long of a wait, and arranged to go to the steakhouse instead. We then waited another 40 mins…he didn’t ask about refilling our EMPTY drinks after noticing them nothing. Asked for the bill and still had to wait 35 mins for that. There was 2 other tables. Both had their food and had to CALL OUT to the server in order for him to even come to their tables.

Never again. Such...

Tavern is a true gem. A cool bar steeped in curling history.

I do a lot of travel for work, and as a result have relatively low bar for food, service and drinks.

I can confidently say that Tavern was a top tier experience.

Angela was incredible. Extremely down to earth and easy to connect with. Her conversation was a highlight. She always made sure she was checking in with me throughout the evening.

I ordered the wings, which were unexpectedly top-tier. I did not anticipate this place to have wings that rival restaurants specifically dedicated to chicken wings, but here we are. They were very crisp, super moist.

The fact that I was accommodated like this on a slow Sunday less than an hour before closing means the world to me. I’ve never been to Portage La Prairie, and this was my first impression. If the rest of PLP is as lovely as Tavern and its team, I will be...

I come in with my partner during the slow time so its not even busy and the servers are way to slow. Had to ask for a straw twice and still had to get it myself. Drinks are terribly made and don't taste right (way to much milk in the espresso martini that it just tasted like milk and was missing the coffee bean that shows on their menu) the food was way undercooked and some parts were overcooked (got the streak and fries with the Guinness gravy). the wings are dry and underdauced aswell. I asked for something else and they left the undercooked food on the table until my partner had to ask her to take it away. Not sure if the servers and bartenders are new here but they're definitely not doing their jobs very well. Won't be...
