There was enough room on the table for shared apps, which is always a positive experience because I don't like when there's no space for anything and feel super crammed. The staff was upbeat and pleasant to work with. The music was great! The food came out in a timely manner and the drinks were cold. Good experience.

One look and we drew straws as to who was DD. We cheated and Mrs. E. won the honors. Our server was Blaze (or something similar) and did a great job. Keep the drinks coming and watered everyone down at the end. The food was mediocre. Better than a lot of Mexican cuisine places in the area. But we've had better. I really liked their Lobster Enchiladas and the Steak Fajitas. This was a night of celebration due to a large company victory. The atmosphere is perfect for that. They also had soccer matches on tv and while I don't think they normally have dancing in the back corner. They did tonight! We picked a great night and time. As there were very few people around us. Since we spent three hours partying, we dropped an additional $30 on the tip.

I was browsing their menu online earlier and their burritos looked really good, which ultimately sealed the deal. I started with a small order of chips and salsa and ordered a loaded burrito with al pastor. The chips were perfectly crispy, and the salsa had a great flavor--fresh with just the right balance. While I was waiting for my burrito (around 1:15 PM, just past the lunch rush), I noticed a steady stream of customers coming in for takeout along with multiple DoorDash pickups. That alone told me this place is doing something right. When my burrito was ready, I was pleasantly surprised that they actually brought it out to me. The burrito itself was a great size, packed with flavor, and incredibly filling. I left feeling completely satisfied. I've seen people mention that the dining room is limited, and while it is on the smaller side, there's still plenty of seating for dine-in. The vibe is really cool, the place is clean, and the customer service was excellent from start to finish. Overall, Taco Bros absolutely lived up to the hype. I'll definitely be coming back here again for lunch.

I was debating if I should write this review about Grand Tavern but, after noticing less and less…read moreformer regulars not coming back to this place, I decided I should write this since I am now a part of that group. I made a positive review about Grand Tavern a few years ago but, sadly, I had to delete it because that review no longer represented my views of this place due to its steady decline of how it is run. My review is about my experiences and my experiences ONLY. I'd like to start out my review on the rare positives about this place. Rachel is by far the best bartender there. I may give this place 1 star but that is no where near a reflection on her. If they can clone 7 Rachel's then I would give this place a higher score. If you see Bibi tending bar during lunch, you will be OK too. I can't speak to the servers on the floor but I did not see any problems with them from a service perspective. Regarding food, you can get much better burgers and tacos elsewhere. The "bar food" (wings, pretzels, etc) are fine. The pasta dishes are just OK. Not sure if they changed the recipe but its not the same as when I first ordered them. Haven't had horrible drinks there. Here is why this place gets a 1 star review. Grand Tavern is what you call a "Town Drunk Bar." Not a Local Watering Hole.........it's A Town Drunk Bar. I could care less if people are drinking having a good time cheering for the Lions. I welcome that with open arms and would even join them. It becomes a Town Drunk Bar when patrons are consistently being served alcohol past the point of inebriation. I'll only pinpoint two instances since I don't want to write a 50 page review. These situations should give you an idea of what kind of place this is: What started to really turn me off about this place was when one patron got so drunk he made a scene because the manager "lowered the music." He then caused a scene by calling the entire staff the b word because of this. To her credit, I thought Emily (the manager) handled it as any responsible manager should have. Kudos to Emily for the way she handled a cancerous customer. Instead of ownership agreeing with the majority of the establishment, ownership threw her under the bus by blaming her to appease the drunk and his behavior. I thought the way they treated her, for doing her job by trying to erase the "town drunk" reputation this place has, was horrible. I may not have agreed with how they treated her but I didn't view it necessarily as a "customer experience" issue at the time since the drunk claimed he would never come back and I thought Emily's effective management fixed the issue. Unfortunately, that was short lived. The straw that busted the camels hump was on a Tuesday night and the same drunk was talking politics (which is a big no-no at any bar). I've known this guy to do this when he's drunk at the Tavern for years, and I always kept my mouth shut, but I had enough since that is just not how you act at a bar. An argument ensued. I don't go to the bar to listen to political commentary.....that's just bar etiquette. The bartender (Brenda) witnessed it and I was dumbfounded when she served him 5 more drinks after he already was clearly inebriated. When I told her that she probably should cut him off, she dismissed my logical recommendation like its no big deal to constantly overserve patrons past the point of inebriation. She didn't respond saying "you know I want to, and I should, because this isn't the first time but I don't want him to get mad and I don't want the owner to reprimand me" or something like that. I could have had some sympathy for her if she did. Instead she completely thought it was acceptable to negligently overserve someone who, on more than one occasion, caused a scene and continued to become more inebriated. I even emailed the owners letting them know because, if I owned a bar, I would want to know. No response. I see recent reviews on Yelp of people saying they aren't coming back to Grand Tavern because they don't feel comfortable. I don't blame them. If ownership is OK with the Town Drunk Bar reputation then you are going to see more reviews like that. In short, the drinks are fine and food is OK. The food and drinks are definitely not worth dealing with the drama of a Town Drunk Bar. If you still want to go to this place, I would recommend sitting in the restaurant portion. If you want to risk it and go to the bar after 5 PM, make sure you find out Rachel's schedule. She will at least mitigate the risk of drama at the bar but there is only so much she can do. Most importantly, watch out, I have seen Farmington Hills Police park across the street from this place on more than one occasion. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.....
