Bad service, management 9/19/2011

We waited 25 minutes for our food, only to find out the waitress had gone home and forgotten our order. We were served cold food,as it had been sitting there for awhile... the cheese was not even melted on my burger. Later, the manager, asked how our lunch was, and I am sure he knew the situation... as it was not busy at all. I will never go back. more

Delicious burgers! 10/3/2009

This is a great place to go every once in a while. The large burgers come on a tiny plate and are just delicious. Fries are extra after the expensive burger, beer is expensive, and for burgers it really is not cheap. Delicious, but don't go there expecting it to come cheap. It is not a problem for most of the families in the Eden Prairie area, but it is for some people who think they can go and get a decent priced burger. That being said, I would pay a lot of money for the recipe they use for their burgers! Pros: Best burger in the state Cons: Expensive, expensive, expensive more

Very Solid Burgers 1/31/2007

The one thing that stands out about a Lions Tap burger is the seasoning-this is what makes it delicious. These burgers also come to you juicy. The rest of the ingredients are fast-food quality. But the burgers are smooth. The last time I was there it was somewhat undercooked-it wasn't bad, just bloody than I Expected. The fries are nothing to write home about. I would recommend it though. Pros: Very Nicely Seasoned Juicy Burgers Cons: Will Cook Rare more

Complete Disapointment 10/30/2006

If you like messy burgers lacking taste then this is your place. Oh, and don't forget to bring your wallet. My burger at the Lion's Tap was perhaps the most expensive burger I have ever had. \r \r Complete and utter disapointment! :o( Cons: Over-priced bland burgers. more

Great Burgers 10/9/2006

Come on people!! The perfect hamburger is supposed to be pink in the middle. This is the way my burger has been every time at the Lion's Tap. It is not by mistake, this is the way they mean to cook it. Comparing this to fast food or chain places is simply ridiculous. Those places just leave you with a dry tasteless burger. Skip the fries at the Lion's Tap, but get a California Burger with fried onions. I've never been disappointed. Also, complaining about the plates??? Where are these people coming from? Leave a mess on the table if you have to. Big deal!!!! Pros: Great California Burger, not afraid to cook a burger the proper way....pink in the middle Cons: Typical fries, Expensive Beer more

Sloppy burgers 5/21/2006

The burgers are consistant from my experience. Wonderful tap root beer. Cheese is low quality. Meat is excellent. Paperplates....doesn't bother me or my friends but some people seem to have a problem with it. The food is overpriced for how much you get but when you think about the location, I am sure the taxes are not cheap. Also the taste is pretty darn good. The burgers are sloppy (they drip the grease) Pros: Burgers, Root Beer Cons: Location, Cheese, Prices more

Pricy, bad food 4/13/2006

Don't go there. The food is small, pricey and unflavorful. How do you want your paper plate today? Cons: food, prices, location more

Non-Beef Eaters Beware 1/10/2006

My boyfriend & I went there on a whim and it was you typical ""small town bar that has lots of seating"" type feeling. The meal was served on paper plates (easy clean up I guess!), and the service was pretty good. But we were surprised that on the menu it was ONLY burgers. I know...it's a burger place. But I thought for sure there would be other things....even a kids menu. The waitress was accomidating and did offer a grilled cheese (which was fine for me). But just be aware....if you're not a beef eater, you have to ask for the grilled cheese...it's not on the menu. Overall, we were happy with it and will go again. Pros: Fries, grilled onions more

Hit or miss... 7/21/2005

I used to work as a hostess at Lion's Tap a couple years ago, and I can tell you that in the two years I was there, I never got sick of their burgers! So delicious! However, hearing from family and friends, and through my own experience, you can get a perfect burger and fries one time, and the next time, it's not so good... Not for any reason; it just seems to work that way. Kind of unpredictable whether or not it will be good. However, ask for your fries ""extra-crispy"" if you want them not soggy, and also see if they could add some of their burger ""seasoning salt"" to the fries! People who don't work there don't really know about this trick, and it is SO GOOD! Pros: Fried onions, ALWAYS coupons, Friendly service Cons: No free refills more

good for what it is worth 10/28/2004

the burger, although not its juiciest or biggest, is juicy and big enough for a $6 meal. you do get ample amount of fries. however, i was a bit perturbed by the fact that the waitress used her bare hands to put the fries, which fell on the tray, back onto the plate. it seems as if that is customary as i saw her do that with everyone. ambiance is between a pub and a cafeteria. other than that, i would recommend the restaurant solely for good, cheap eats. Pros: inexpensive more

Great burgers Lousy service 9/30/2004

Burgers are great. Service and attitude of staff is poor. Fries are nothing special either and overpriced, so is the pop. The fried onions they put on the burgers are to die for though :) We get ours to go and get a big pop at SA or somewhere else close. The woman who takes to go orders is a grouch, watch out. Pros: Burgers are great, Caramelized onions, Good parking Cons: , small pop no refills, crowded more

Horrible 9/26/2004

Small Burgers, soggy fries, served on a paper plate. Top it off with high prices and this place is a bust. The burgers are not all that good and almost are always undercooked. Avoid this place at all costs. Cons: , prices, paper plates more

Where's the beef? 9/26/2004

Burgers were ok. Served on little paper-thin plates. Messy to eat and you had to wipe up with little paper-thin napkins to boot. (I think I used at least 30.) Everything was over-priced, I couldn't believe their pop/beer prices for 2-3 swallows. Go to Culvers, don't waste your time or money here. We didn't see the waitress again until it was time to rush us out of the place as soon as the last morsal slipped past our lips. Pros: Decent food, 1919 Root Beer Cons: , Prices, Gas/Time - wasted more

great burgers 8/2/2004

I have never met anyone who doesn't like the Lion's Tap and I have never had a bad burger there. I don't know where all these people are from that are complaining. This is a jeans and t-shirt, come as you are place for laid back, hungry people. The food is great, the service is great and I will continue to go back year after year. Pros: non-smoking, kid friendly, parking more

overrated 7/8/2004

I had the same problem...asked for a well done burger..got one that was pink in the middle & burnt on the outside. Not worth the money. Even w/ the coupon. Pros: good for kids more

Its Good but...... 7/1/2004

All I really have to say is the the burgers are good, the frys are ok, and its a good value overall but even when i asked for well done i got a burger with pink in the middle. I also have to say its over rated and I would rather go to Culvers to eat because its better food and equal quality burgers for a better value. Pros: good burger, friendly service, good value Cons: , bland fries, only burgers more

Ooooh.... 5/31/2004

THE BEST burgers I have EVER had. Prices on burgers aren't bad, but everything else (drinks, fries, etc.) is a bit expensive. Buy a bag of burgers and keep your leftovers in the fridge, they're great a day or two later, too! Pros: GREAT burgers, Good parking, Non-smoking more
