Tin Shed Tavern & Pizza — Restaurant in Savage

Wasn’t really sure what this place was going to be like. The name alone struck me as a bar with food. Googled mapped its location and off we went. It is oddly located behind a gas station in a little strip mall -ish building in an industrial area?? It was an open door seat yourself kinda place with tables outside the small bar. Helped myself to the menu and silverware.

Our server was pleasant, courteous, very professional didn’t get her name and I never asked. Brought the beverages while I pondered on what to order. Settled on the fish and chips only to find it’s premade frozen ☹️. So back to the menu it was. Its a menu with good variety. I’m just a picky eater. So we ordered the cheese curds while I tried to make up my mind. Was it going to be a burger? No. They all come with bacon. A wrap? Hmm maybe Pizza? 🍕 I looked over the shadowbox jersey which desperately needed to be fixed its seen better days sorry 🤷🏽‍♀️. After what probably seemed like seemed like an excruciating long time for me to make up my mind. The server smiled as I ordered a wrap with the house made onion rings. (Upgrade sales are always a bonus! ) I was excited 🤗

The cheese curds came out piping hot we choose the marinara sauce and when I say hot I mean hot 🔥 I mean like outta the fryer hot🔥 like burn the roof of your mouth hot 🔥 . I had 3 only 3, they were crispy, crunchy, cheesy but holy smokes they were salty. Like water I need water salty! Call the ambulance salty cuz my blood pressure is about to blow salty

So I quietly waited for the wrap and those home battered upgraded onion rings oh the anticipation was killing Me. 😵

I wasn’t timing anything honestly but the food came out quick. The pizza was a specialty pepperoni. It looked great. And by the looks of the wrap it was pleasing but the onion rings no….🥺not my upgrade order of (5) onion rings. My heart kinda sank. And finally hit the floor after the first bite. 🥹. It was over right there. They were overcooked to someone’s perfection (apparently not mine but probably the cook’s). The crunch of the deep color of over brewed coffee fried batter broke into pieces with this thin strip of onion that fell somewhere between the plate and my lap. I was amazed at the level of talent it must have taken to batter one thin ring of onion with that much precision It must have taken years for the person at the fryer. 👏👏👏👏Good job I silently sighed in my head.

The pizza well let’s talk pizza. It was perfect. The right balance of copious amounts of pepperoni to make a more than my lips burn from the spice but pleasing to the other guest so that was a win/win for Team Tin Shed Tavern and Pizza! 🏆🥇

Over all it’s a hidden pizza joint with simple accommodations casual laid back atmosphere with food that fits some people’s palette better than others. Like mine.

Would I come back. Sure why not. For pizza most definately. And the 8 Dollar root...

I will say they tried but with other local places that are very similar in menu items - and better pricing - this would not be my first choice. That being said.... I'd go back only for their cheese curds, and Shed Bulldog Signature Drink.

Kid friendly with eating area and a neat game room in back separated from the main restaurant and bar.

We had 4 adults in our group. Food was good and delivered hot.

Definitely recommend the cheese curds!!

Fish Basket is worth ordering - great flavor with 3 large pieces of fish!! Burger was a burger, Rueben was decent (heavy amount of fries for all three). Taco Salad had good flavor but was small and only had a tablespoon of ground beef.

I do recommend one of their Signature Drinks - Shed Bulldog (approx cost $7+). This has a surprising twist on your classic Colorado Bulldog cocktail and it is great - Stoli Vanil, Kahlua, and cream topped with 1919 Draft Root Beer

Had 2 frazzled young waitresses at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon but like I said they tried hard. It wasn't that busy but Management helped deliver the food because things were taking a bit long.

I would recommend sitting in a booth versus a table so you can hear the people you are with.

All staff were wearing masks. I did not see if tables, chairs, booths were being sanitized but I could see the bar area and sanitizing was lacking - on the customer side of the bar at least - for the hour and a half that we were there. Several people that were at the bar left and new people came in and sat at the vacated places. The bar top was wiped down with just the regular old bar rag and bar stools were not touched at all - something to...

8/15/2022: Had another Tecmo Super Bowl this year and once again the staff and customer service was top notch. Ashley, Brie, and the rest of the staff helped make the experience amazing. They were very helpful with getting us drinks and food and very courteous to us. I would highly recommend have a birthday party, or event there for a good time. Once again I can't thank Brian the owner enough for allowing us to do this every year and will continually go there for dining as well. Thanks again!

8/12/2020: This place is the best! I have hosted two Tecmo Super Bowl Tournaments there and their hospitality and generosity is off the scale. Amy, the manager brings a home atmosphere to the place and even knew most of the players names by heart by the end. She continually went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of. I couldn't have found a better place. Their pizza and sandwiches are great and they have a good drink selection. If you ever are in the Savage area stop by you won’t be...
