First time here in early June, overall experience was good. Food was solid and beer choices good. Love being able to get a half sandwich and cup of soup for me while hubby gets a whole sandwich. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience is family and adult friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Servers have a hard time keeping up with all the seating areas. But everyone is friendly. read more

Service: pretty bad, i saw eyes being rolled when asked about the menu. She stated that their Loaded Fries are not in their POS. She went to the cook and back and found out they are available after waiting a good 5 minutes. Server hasn't come to ask for refills on our drinks. We had to ask a different server. Food: pulled pork with no onions - juicy Double Burger- dry You can order your burger without seasoning. Loaded fries aren't too bad. Cheesy but not something to rave on. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: very sporty just like any pub/tavern. There is also complementary popcorn in the front.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The three of us just went in for drinks. Except for one of us one of us doesn't have alcohol. I asked if they had a strawberry shake and they did not but I suddenly thought maybe if I asked for a root beer float. I think it was the best root beer float I've ever had in my life. The waitress was extremely kind fun and bubbly. The bill wasn't bad either for two martinis, two beers and a root beer float that had more ice cream than root beer so I had an extra cup of root beer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was totally chill because by the time we left, they were closing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll bet their menu has some excellent tasting food and that it served with a smile. I might be back sometime to try it. I didn't take pictures sorry it was just drinks. read more

The food was definitely just thrown together with what the kitchen had in stock. We ordered a Ruben and it was only grilled on one side and it looked like a lunch sandwich. The portions were very small. The pork sandwich was supposed to come with coleslaw and it didn't, and the pork it was BURNT on the bottom! Asked for a replacement in pork sandwich... I wouldn't order it again. The Tortilla soup was out of tortillas substituted for croutons. Need I say anymore? We will not be coming back, EVER! read more

Food was good and plenty of it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Has been redecorated and it looks good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wait staff made sure we had everything we needed read more

I love the atmosphere, the lovely young ladies schlepping beer, pizza and the occasional shot from that crazy man behind the bar that tends to put too much hootch in the drinks. The prices are within the high norm and the location is perfect for us. Their pizza is fair. If you like it salty, add Kalamata olives. We won't. A most excellent topping is carved beef brisket. A must try. Our favorite appetizer is the Teriyaki Steak Tips. For $14 they've sautéed beef tips with portabellas and onions in a teriyaki glaze and served it with an Italian baguette. Very rich, but tasty. During happy hour it's 25% off. I also recommend the White Chicken Chili and the Country Beef Barley soup. Both excellent. Both $6 a bowl. 02/24 read more

On a Saturday after a snow showing adventure we went the Alpine tavern for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is cute, very en pointe for the area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the soup and half sandwich (white chicken chili and brisket grilled cheese). The soup was really tasty, not super hot, but tasty, the sandwich was good but very rich, half was plenty. My husband had the smothered brisket dip with Swiss and he thought it was great. Lots of meat and cheese. He also would recommend the baked beans. Our service was great and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The down side was the draftiness of the place - just could not get warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]As we left we noticed the other half of the restaurant was definitely warmer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So be aware. read more

The food was good, the service pleasant, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant is cute and clean![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would go back if/when I get back to Gaylord! read more

Good Food- such huge portions! Spouse had the fish sandwich- fish portion was twice the size of the bun; hot fresh; soft pretzel appetizer- fresh & tasty- and the beer cheese dip was a horseradish blend which was surprisingly delicious! read more

We've ordered from this establish several times recently. The cod dinner would have been pretty good except the expedite person put the butter pats for the baked potato in with the hot fish so what we received was a pile of buttery soggy fish with soaked breading sitting in the bottom of the container. Tonight, the firecracker burger was made with either a stale roll or a really weird corn meal roll that was dry and essentially crumbled completely with the first bite. The chicken planks consisted of 3 chicken breast halves, one of which was burnt to a crisp and hidden under the two "less burnt" pieces. The side was onion rings, some of which were tasty, and some of which were filled with bread crumbs that had never been incorporated into or covered with the batter. Each time we bit into an onion ring, a half tablespoon of crumbs would go flying across the table and you'd end up with a mouth full of sand. read more

Always have great service here. Staff is personable, attentive, food is great. Love coming here to get a beer and a brick of fries.

Reuben wasn't even grilled or toasted. It was just soft bread. Was not impressed . Was disappointed.

The ambiance was orginal and gave a rustic feel. Upon entry we were told we would have to wait 20 minutes but asking for seats at the bar we got through immediately, I ordered a Mocktail: The Cardinal Punch, Alpine Relaxer which I had with my Pau Haus Burger well done. The drinks were great, definitely recommend the Alpine Relaxer if looking for something vibrant and refreshing with a tad sour taste. The Bartender was very pleasant towards us and served us well. The Pub Haus Burger was nice very cheese and the bacons were the cherry on top for me, I enjoyed it all even though i waited almost 20 mins to receive my order but i was worth it. I would recommend others to try and I will be going back as I oversaw some crispy fried fish but im going back for that. read more

The bang-bang shrimp was good, we really enjoyed the white chicken chili as well! It was half off appetizers and drinks for happy hour, so I got buffalo boneless wings and Bavarian pretzels. I liked both. Staff was very friendly and funny. read more

Pretty good place, cool atmosphere Service seems slow as far as from time to order to time of food arrival They have live bands Thursday-Saturday. And happy hour, and a large variety of food on menu. My shrimp wonton tacos were cold(might be they are supposed to be that way??) either way the flavor was great and the wontons add a nice crunch Brisket grilled cheese was huge and delicious read more

The brisket grilled cheese was super good! We will definitely stop back when we are in the area.

I have been to this restaurant many times, and I never leave disappointed. There pretzel appetizer is fantastic with a little bit of horseradish in the cheese sauce, which is very unique. I love their hummus plate, they have fantastic pizzas, and this last time I was blown away by the whitefish. It was perfectly done, and was very well balanced with the sauce. cannot recommend this restaurant more! Recommend a tall Alpine Blonde to wash it down! read more

Our server Connor was wonderful. We had side salads and split a medium pizza. It was plenty for the two of us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean, reasonable prices, and lots of good offerings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will be back next time we are in Gaylord! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar and restaurant had a shower smell to it like it hadn't been cleaned well for a while.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server was very hyper. wouldn't stop talking. The drinks were astronomical and we only ordered a beer and a well. $14. The food did not come out looking great and the smell was bad enough.We decided to go somewhere else for lunch. would not recommend. read more

Really enjoyed the food and the friendly staff, but double check your bill. If you even get a hard copy. Just saying. We were over charged. The manager made it right. Said we should always get a receipts done the waitress offered us our tip back. I was very uncomfortable and did not get an apology. See the empty plates. Good food. read more

Stopped for a quick lunch and will definitely be back. The food was great but I have to say the customer service was even better. Robin very attentive and was more than helpful fulfilling all our requests. If we wouldn't be coming back for the food it would definitely be for the service. read more

My favorite meal there is a brisket sandwich, perch is deep fried and ruined, so I find it hard to order deep fried dinners.

65 degrees and raining and they walked us past empty tables to seat us outside. Alone. At a wobbly table. Hard. Pass. read more

Ordered the fish sandwich, fish and chips, and the brisket grilled cheese sandwich. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back.

Some years back I loved the schnitzel and beer at a little place halfway up the mountain from Innsbruck. You had a two mile uphill hike to get there but that just made it taste that much better. Then there are the rostis I had in Lausanne or the gruner veltliner I drank in Melk or the alto adige they make in Merano. So my mouth was set when we walked into the Alpine Tavern in Gaylord. Nope. I will say that the Corona, breaded whitefish and French fries were quite satisfying. read more

2nd best Rueben I've ever had!! 1st was at Ernie's on Gull Lake at Brainerd, MN. They went over to a crappy 'birch bark' menu. So, I guess I have a new #1 a Alpine Tavern!! read more

Sat outside with out two dogs. We noticed the waitstaff working together which seemed so nice. The soup was definitely homemade and the sandwich was made with generous portions. My husband had the brisket French dip but it was gone before I could take a picture! Homemade chips were yummy too! We were very happy with our lunch choice! read more

Very good food. Nice dining set up, heated back patio and 2 igloos outside. Offer a kids menu with paper for them to work on. Fries (seemed to be a battered) ,onion rings ( big) were very tasty. Rueben was good, kids grilled cheese was very big and they enjoyed it along with the kids pizza and mini burgers. Fish sandwich was big and crispy. The buns items were served on seemed homemade from a local bakery. They also had a snow ball throwing game set up outside. Northwoods soda for pop. Spacing of tables was nice. My oldest loved the fact they had malt vinegar for his fries. read more

I'm pretty fond of the Alpine tavern and eatery. I've been there three or four times and every meal has been decent. The place has an "ok" atmosphere, but I do think they could do a little more to give it that "up north" Lodge ambience that I feel like they're trying to embrace They have a nice patio area for outdoor seating, which is not always easy to find. I can't really speak to the service ever being great but I also can't say that I can think of a bad experience either. If I had to describe it at all, I would say it's just a little bit slow. Prices are reasonable as well. read more

Food was great. Service was quick. Serving size was large. Went twice in one week which says a lot.
