Tanners Station

Was there on Christmas eve for dinner. Hostess told us there would be a 20-25 min wait. Ok no problem. Well we waitied about 15 min then look into the dining room and see a booth with no one in it and dirty dishes still on the table. Noticed the hostess was the one busing the tables. 10 min later, 1 person in front of us, 10 tables with no people, still not seated. ended up wating 30 minutes before we got seated, waited another 10 minutes and no server. told the hostess we hadn't seen a server yet. Finally got someone to come over, I am assuming a manager, she brought us water, took our drink order and as she was walking away, we heard the comment ""Some people just don't have any patience""! food was pretty good but I look for this place to close in the next 6 months with attitudes like that! more

With a reservation, we brought 20 relatives to Tanners to celebrate a couple of birthdays. They set us up in an area all our own with several tables pushed together. It was a buffet. Great food and great service. We weren't the only family doing something similar on the same day. We will definitely being doing this again. It's nice to have a place like this so close. more

First time there - had these heavenly Rachel. Second time there, I had a Rachel - one side of toast was BLACK (that side down) - I had eaten 1/2 of it because I didn't want to complain so they gave me a free dessert - TRIP three - Rachel again ... Turkey smelled 'odd' but ate it anyways - ended up with stomach cramps and throwing up -- from the turkey -- don't know but won't take the chance again. Too bad .. that first visit was wonderful. more

What a joke of a business! I have been in the restaurant industry for years and normally give owners and staff a lot of slack because it is such a stressful fast paced industry but I have had enough. The food is just awful and inconsistent. I had one good meal there a year ago and have returned three time for the same thing and its either dry and overcooked or completely different then what it says on the menu. I do not blame the kitchen staff I blame the owners. Obviously it is poorly run. When I asked to speak to the manager I was informed that it was the owner Lisa and the server left to get her. She did not come to the table and in fact I could tell she was avoiding being near us! We were in there this weekend for the tent party and the obviously underage girls working outside serving beer, cocktails and shots where clearly drunk. One girl working the beer tub was so drunk she was falling down! She fell down repeatedly until another employee came to get her. Then I watched the same Lisa from last time work in her place and again she gave horrible customer service. Overall I have never been so disappointed or disgusted by how a business in customer service is run. Do NOT waste your time or money here. You will be disappointed! more

It would seem obvious that an establishment that wants a good reputation would want to focus on great service such as treating customers with respect and providing good food. This establishment does a very poor job on both. I'm 32 yr old gentleman who has been coming to tanners for the last 2 years because its close. This establishment by far has the most rude and classless set of female bartenders I have ever seen and this seems to be a continued trend going on and on and on. I've heard so many complaints in my communtiy about this bad service I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this. All we ask is for at least one good female bartender there and not the immature, unprofessionalism that continues. When this place can get its focus back and puts the customers first perhaps myself and others will come back some day. more

A group of 8 of us ate at Tanner's. Three people had steaks - dry, not tasty and definitely not cooked as ordered. The all you can eat shrimp is not worth ordering especially at the price. The baked potato tasted like it was baked in the morning and kept hot all day and then it was served. The only meal that is worth mentioning was the penne pasta and that was okay. The waitress was timely but does not make up for poor food. more

This is my last time going to Tanners Station. I dont understand how this restaurant can get good reviews at all. I have frequented a multitude of times and each time I am left feeling cheated and hungry. Since my last experience I had a filet mignon that was overcooked and tough I decided to order a hamburger. I didnt think one could mess up on a burger but it was a greasy mess. The meat was not flavorful at all and I am suspicous about the rodeo burger using its BBQ sauce to cover up the fact that it is tasteless. It took the waitress 20 minutes to take my order and bring me a beverage. It then took another 45 minutes for me to get my lunch. The waitress kept coming back in 10 to 15 minute increments to assure me it was only going to be another minute. Finally it comes and much to my disappointment as it wasnt worth the wait. I keep telling myself i will never go back to such a place. I really would suggest others find a better place to eat as well. There are choices. Pros: It has potential but .... Cons: Slow service, poor food more

Tanners is such a cool & cozy bar! They often have live music so it makes the space very fun! There is also a large bar in this space! more

The restaurant overall lacks in consistancy with food and service. Its really a shame since it has potential to be a really nice place. Pros: location is near my home Cons: poor food poor service more

Tanners ,located in andover, is a very nice establishment,which offers a huge buffet on sundays for brunch,and on holiday's.reasonable prices.Nice bar to watch viking games,good drink specials. more

We were just in there this last weekend. Had a large party, approx. 45 ranging in age from 7-45. We called in about 3 hours in advance. Having worked in the restaurant industry to put myself through college, I knew that you can't just walk in with a large party during the lunch hour and expect to be seated right away. We gave ourselves plenty of time to have such a large party order and have the food made. The great thing about this place is that they make the food to order. It's not a quickie drive thru service like you'd expect at Burger King. Pros: Great service, great food Cons: Road construction more

We had a group of 30 in Andover for a function last Saturday. 4 went over to Tanner's at 12:15 to inform them of our large party. Hostess was aloof & honestly didn't appear too bright-she stacked menus for 15 mns while tables were set up but then didn't seat the 4, kept them standing. 2 other tables in dining room!! Pros: many food items were good Cons: waiting waiting waiting for every SINGLE step of the process of dining out! poor customer service from everyone!!! more

While I wouldn't suggest going out of your way to find Tanners, if you are in the area, you might think of stopping in. They have all you can eat crab legs on Wednesdays, always steamed to perfection (and I consider myself a bit of a crab leg snob). I live right around the corner from Tanners, but it's generally only a place I stop for crab legs or a drink. I've tried the other food and it's nothing to brag about. The service is fine, again, nothing to rush in for. They do have a pretty hip bar, generally pretty packed- they offer pull tabs as well as several TVs to catch the local team on. All in all, if you are near Tanners, you might stop in... but don't go out of your way to find it. Pros: All you can eat crab legs on Weds, hip bar, pull tabs Cons: Nothing to write home about... more

I used to be a regular at Tanners Station, No more. The service has really gone down hill and the quality is sliding( sometimes good and as of late declining ) Brown lettuce in the salads, Overcooked steaks on my last two visits (ribeye and new york) The ribs have changed also, Not what they were the last time I enjoyed them. I wonder if there is someone new in the back of the house ???. Anyway, I'll give them another chance because it used to be alot better. I'll write another review after my next visit. Pros: Location Cons: Service, Quality of food has declined etc... more

This is my first review for a restaurant but just wanted to let people know how great the steaks are! I personally have the Petite Terloin Filet wrapped in bacon. This one always comes out the way I want it. I have tried the pastas and have to say that my favorite is the Shrimp and Crab Linguine with their new Wine list its perfect! I will be coming back again and again to Tanners. Pros: Steaks, pasta, drinks and location for me more

Tuesday night is Steak night at Tanners. My wife & I try to make it every Tuesday because there is not a better value in town! For $11 you get a GREAT steak, potato and salad. We also enjoy Thursday's special - 2 for 1 Pasta. Try the Thai Peanut Pasta - there's nothing better. The wide varity of Crown Royal choices also make dinner that much better. The freindly atmosphere and wide variety of food choices and flavors keep us coming back. Their support of the local sports teams is also a bonus. I would HIGHLY recommend giving Tanners a try. Pros: Steak, Pastas, Service more

My husband and I decided to stop in and have dinner here. We'd been here in the past and liked the food, but it had been a while since we'd last visited. Pros: Good service Cons: Bad food more

I believe they have changed their name to Tanners Station, but it makes no difference. The food is excellent and the service is even better. I always order the walleye and my husband really likes their Reuben sandwich. Last time we ate there, we were kind of in a rush and our waitress really helped us out. We were eating our meal within 15 minutes. Highly recommended. Pros: Service, food more

I have been to Tanners Steakhouse with my husband for date night and with our whole family and we've had fantastic food and the servers were very personable and did a great job making sure we had what we wanted. The food had great flavor and we've tried the steaks to the pasta to seafood. All Great! My favorite is the brisquette quesadilla. FANTASTIC!!! more

My spouse & I go here for dinner at least 3 times per month. This is without a doubt, the best prime rib I've eaten. I've heard different views on their other entrees, however anyone who has tried their prime rib agrees with me. It does tend to get loud on the weekends, but during the week, it can be quite romantic. Also, on Thursday's Tanner's offers 1/2 price bottle of wine. I love this place & the management & staff treat their customers as very welcomed guests. Pros: Prime Rib, Staff Cons: Crowded (wkends) more
