5 stars for the service alone. The waitress was very attentive and funny. I had their turkey club, and let me tell you that bacon jam on there was the best part. I can see why they sell it separately. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere for a date night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will be back. read more

I gotta say, this is a hard review to write. We have been coming to Tabor Tavern for years. It's such a great spot, but lately the quality and customer service have diminished. A while back we placed a to-go order and when we arrived to pick it up, they were only accepting cash. No big deal other than they didn't tell us when we placed the order. Ok, fine. The last time we picked up our order, there was a piece of plastic in the burger. Gross, but we reluctantly decided to just deal. Today? Picked up a Tabor Burger only instead of arugula in it as the menu states, it had some spring mix on it and the French fries were stone cold. It was not good and now we're really frustrated. We are starting to feel scammed by this place. Why are they not checking in with customers when their credit card machines are down or when they are out of an ingredient? Why is there plastic in the food? We're bummed, but we can't sit idly by anymore. We hope you all have better luck there, but we're going to take a break from this place. read more

Tabor Tavern - Yummy burgers - New American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Had the tabor beef dip and it was very good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute place and great service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would highly reccommend.

Great summer stop for outside dining and drinks outdoor seating for a late summer evening is a must. The place definitely feels like a neighborhood hangout with lots of people walking up and no real parking. The food was great. It was fresh and perfectly seasoned with just enough to be almost to much but not enough to take it with you and lose it in the back of your fridge. The drinks were tasty, and they had a great variety of beers on tap. The service was very pleasant but you could tell that they were busy. All in all we never felt rushed or crowded. The volume was perfect for conversations. It's definitely laidback and comfortable. read more

This is the perfect place to eat dinner and watch the sunset. The outdoor seating is limited but is nicely tucked in the shade. You'll find the bar to have great cocktails and a well curated beer list. The burgers here are awesome. read more

Tabor Tavern - Tabor Burger & Salad ($16.50) - 1/3 pound beef, blue cheese, bacon jam, and arugula on a brioche bun - New American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I visited here during a recent business trip and had a pretty good experience. Although the food took a while to come out. I sat at the bar and the restaurant was about half full. After a while some tables left and then a large group came in, somehow my order seemed to get placed after theirs because they were receiving appetizers for a while before my dish even came out. I ordered a simple steak frittes and saw it sitting in the kitchen on the prep table for 5 mins and looked unfinished. Turns out it was waiting on the fries to be made. By the time it came to me at the bar, the meat was starting to get cold. It seemed like they were running a little short on staff. The brown ale I had was really good though but I was easily finished with it before the food arrived. They utilize a cheap cut of beef, bartender indicated it was a beef shoulder. Who uses beef shoulder for steak frittes? Anyways, the experience was not too bad other than that. It's a nice neighborhood tavern. read more

I got a kids meal version of the fish and chips and def was best fish and chips I've had maybe EVER. Was really good and cheap ($9). I had some fish and chips at Jake's seafood grill for like $27 and it SUCKED ASS compared to this place! Good vibes of the place and good service read more

It's been a minute but this spot remains one of the most reliable mid-priced elevated pub & grubs in the Tabor/Montavilla area. Today, I had the fish & chips and she had crab cakes and a salad. She immediately remarked that the crab cakes were much more crab than cake and very fresh. The salad was big and gorgeous. My haddock was a full fillet, from tail to collar, half a good-sized fish, over 12" long and ranging over the corners of the plate by inches. The coating was super crispy and the fish absolutely fresh and flaky. No vinegar to mask off-notes required. I must say, this was a much larger portion than Horsebrass, better fish, and much less expensive. The fries... well, if you LIKE droopy home fries I guess, but these were just window dressing and unnecessary carbs to me. I've had their burgers in past and rate them in my PDX top 10. Pro Tips: If you can, park in one of the two parallel parking spots to avoid dings from tight side-by-side spots that are really a bad idea when beer is involved . Also, it's RIGHT on a bike parkway, at a nice dedicated crossing with lights so that's an awesome way to work off the calories before/after! Oh, and Portland's best apple fritters are right down Burnside a few blocks East, on the South side of the street, just before 60th at Donut Queen! read more

We've been wanting to try this place for a while. And we finally got a nice table outside with our dog. We started with a couple of drinks. Pictures included, and then we went on with fried brussels sprouts with bacon jam and parmesan. My daughter had the Turkey club, which she said was delicious. And I had the fried chicken sandwich, which I have to say was the most tender chicken sandwich. I have ever had in my entire life. I asked the server if it was marinated, and he told me it was marinated in picklejuice, which was just incredible. The batter was absolutely flaky, and the chicken breast melted in my mouth. I'm so glad we finally got to try Tabor Tavern. And we will definitely come back. So many more times that they may be sick of seeing us. read more

Tabor Tavern - Spinach salad with salmon - New American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great service, and the food was remarkable! Drinks were great too, no complaints, and definitely exceeded expectations!

We've driven by this place many times and never went inside. After reading the reviews, we wanted to try it out. It was good. We tried the classic burger, the ribs, a spring salad with chicken and the risotto. All were good. We found the chicken breast that came with the salad to be really tender. Portland is a great place for burgers because there are so many bars that do a good job with them. This was a typical "good burger in a bar" experience. It came with a brioche bun. We notice that the menu has changed from a few years ago and it is now a 1/3 lb of beef instead of 1/2 lb of beef. But it's still a good burger. read more

Came here for happy hour yesterday, had a yummy mango bloom kombucha. Wasn't a drinking night for me but they have great drink specials at HH. I was able to add a gf bun to my happy hour burger with bacon jam and the side of fries were scrumptious. Ammie, my server came around a few times to see if I had everything I needed, which was great. I can't wait to try the Brussels here. read more

Went to Tabor Tavern for the first time in a while. I was lured in by their online menu, but when there the menu didn't seem as alluring. Prices seemed high for what they were offering. Got the burger, because it had been a while. I was disappointed. Undercooked, but also charred on the outside. Not to mention the sauce was not very tasty. I now remember why I stopped going there. They had great burgers many years ago, but it seems like they changed something in the kitchen and it has not been great since. The fries were okay and the service was good, hence the second star. read more

If you want a no frills delicious meal in Portland, check out Tabor Tavern. I recommend any one of their burgers and fries, and wash it down with something great from their tap list. The apps are also fun, and there's something for every palette. The bartender and servers are friendly, and I find this to be a good "easy" option in the neighborhood. There's nothing trendy about this place, it's a neighbhorhood classic. read more

Such a great neighborhood place, recommended by our nurse at Providence. We have been twice so far and will continue to visit. Great drinks & burgers, excellent fries, delicious soup, amazing fried chicken and pulled pork sandwiches. Nice atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. Update- make it 3x.... Great kale Caesar and Mac n Cheese! Swift cider on tap. read more

5 stars for their fries. I've driven past this place many times but never realized its existence. My coworkers invited me here for drinks after work. Limited street parking but there is plenty on-street parking across the street. They practice social distancing really well. We didn't go in because they already met the max capacity so we sat outside. There is also a table around the corner solely for people who order takeout. Each table has a barcode on it for you to scan to see the menu, which minimizes physical contact. People can eat without a mask (obviously), but they are required to wear a mask when talking to waiters and waitresses. I wasn't really hungry so I only ordered fries and margarita. They have many types of fries and I got the garlic one. The margarita was okay. However, their fries impressed me and it was one of the best I've ever had. For only $6, the portion was big and the taste was absolutely delicious. I got very addicted and finished the whole thing quickly. I will definitely come back just for their fries and to try out other things on the menu. read more

Quaint little restaurant. Food was pretty good, and service was excellent. A very nice place to go to after work and grab a Happy Hour appetizer with friends and family. We arrived in time for Happy Hour and had the Pulled Pork Sliders, Cheeseburger, Queso Dip, and the Kale Caesar Salad. All of these food plates were well prepared, and delicious. Weill definitely be returning to try out the other items on the menu. Thumbs up. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food in a nice atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good prices for what you're getting. Menu had a good variety.

Indeed the best burger here in Portland and my name is not George Zimmer, but I still and will guarantee it! Burger cooked perfectly at my requested medium rare.. patty seasoned, tender and juicy with fresh tasty ingredients of pickle, shredded lettuce, tomato, little juliennes of red onion are so satisfying.. their Classic Burger is the one to get and worth the trip here Oh yeah.. perfect handcut fries that were seasoned and crispy Drinks are good, as I highly recommend you ordering Martinis if you do. Good Vesper and Good Manhattans that are not too strong nor too weak. Service was good as they consistently check on you. Clean restrooms to do what you need to do between meals Excellent place read more

Food and beer was good. Went with friends and our dogs, so we sat on the patio out front. Felt like we were a nuisance to the server more than anything else. Felt very awkward and just put a hamper on everything. read more

The waitress and bartender were nice. The burger was ok, there are burgers out there for 1/2 the price that are just as good or better. The deviled eggs were terrible. I love deviled eggs normally, these were barely edible. They had definitely been in the fridge for days and were very rubbery with a weird chemical, stale taste, hard to explain. Maybe they weren't covered well enough and absorbed the fridge smells? Yuck. I won't go back. read more

Thoughtful service in accommodating the needs of our 5 year old grandson. They have a kids menu and give the kids a coloring sheet and some crayons. We got beef and a lamb burgers, and they were so large that we could have happily split one order. read more

Low key and nice place to enjoy a burger. We were at Tabor Tavern for a work related event so we did not partake in their Beer offerings. I enjoyed the Nicoise Salad. The Tuna was well prepared, the greens were fresh. Service was fast, friendly and efficient! read more

What a fun pub-style restaurant. We had lunch here, and I had a delicious, yummy salad (and a few bites of John B's fish (it was huge and pretty tasty). The salad was really a meal in itself (no need for anything else unless you are a HUGE eater), and when I finished, I had the "clean-eating" feeling, which was perfect! If I lived here or even near Portland, I'd be back, for sure, as there are a lot of great options on the menu. And, the atmosphere makes this such a great place. We were seated quickly and the service was great. The restaurant is a tad small with not a lot of seating. Not sure what a Friday or Saturday evening might be like, but lunch was hopping. read more

Gotta post an update. My kids aren't kids anymore, so I guess that whole dispute is a moot point. Bygones and all that. I live right in the neighborhood. I avoided this place like the plague for the past several years just because it was such a "bridge and tunnel" commuter stop for drunk people over the families that live here. I get it. That's where the money is. Don't have to like it. But since (and during) Covid my wife and I gave it another shot, and it's been pretty consistently good. The staff seems to have mellowed on the "we'll see if you can have a table" thing a bit-- maybe due to the whole Covid thing. It feels like it's matured into more of a real neighborhood pub scene? Anyway, there ya go. You want a place to grab a decent burger and beer and look at old pictures of Portland? It's a pretty good bet. read more

Love this spot! Great beer selection and great food as well. I was in town for Thanksgiving seeing my sister and her partner, so they brought me here for dinner as it is one of their favorite spots - Close to home, so it makes sense. I'm so happy they did! The service was great and the lamb burger I had was amazing read more

The food here is really good! It's simple yet creative and thoughtful. The same is true for their cocktails. The service is friendly and efficient. When it's busy it's pretty loud but it has an otherwise cozy and welcoming ambience. read more

Tabor Tavern is one of those places where if I can't decide where to eat, this is one of the defaults. If I'm craving some good American food and want a juicy lamb burger, or a bowl of creamy mac, or even just a cider/beer during the day, this is the place to come. The portions here are huge. I usually can't finish what I order, even though everything is so good, I try to. I stray away from ordering large orders of Mac and Cheese at places, but the one here isn't too heavy, the cheese is smooth, and noodles cooked not too al dente but not overcooked - just perfect. The tabor burger is also a favorite. I love arugula, so slap it on a juicy burger, sprinkle some blue cheese, and top it with a brioche bun, and it's epic. Last but not least, the fish and chip platter is a monster. I don't think I've ever seen a bigger fish served anywhere. Sure, it's greasy, but it's fish and chips! It has the perfect crunch and the inside just melts in your mouth. These are the three things I highly recommend for any newcomers. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review of TT! I love this place, honestly. It's a neighborhood pub/tavern feel with some great drinks and bomb food. Last night we had the delicata squash salad which was perfectly balanced with goat cheese and a light dressing. We also had the butternut squash soup and split a turkey club. The sandwich was so fresh and tasty. The cheese on it was out of this world. The fries were hot and so fresh. Also, in an age where servers don't try because they know they will get a tip, it was so refreshing to have amazing, quick and efficient service. This is a must try place in mid/east Portland. read more

Tasty food and honest drink. Everything was prepared with care: the salad was perfectly dressed, the bacon was done to a turn, the burger was nicely seasoned, the chicken was moist.
