Service was soo soo good. Not only is the Pizza amazing but we tried the Mahi Mahi quesadilla and its the most amazing thing ive ever had. Def a great spot with great drinks and food. Service is awesome. Becoming one of my favorite places to go. read more

I've dined here a couple times in the last year and I always have a great experience. I like the outside seating options on a warm summer evening. I recently tried the bbq shrimp and grits and it was so good and full of flavor! read more

I've been here a couple of times now and am overall disappointed. It's a nice brewpub atmosphere and it's located in a neat older part of Belleville, but the food and especially the service were lackluster, especially this last visit. Our server said initial hellos and took drink orders, and then literally disappeared for 25 minutes. Not cool. Once we were able to place our orders and finally get our food, the experience was underwhelming. The pizza my friends ordered was not cooked well in the middle and very soggy. My caesar side salad was extremely mushy. We ordered quesadillas as an appetizer and they were very soggy and super greasy as well. The salmon plate was fairly tasty, but by the time I got it, I was pretty miffed at the terrible service. It will be a while before I try this place again. read more

Try the spinach flat bread and the sweet Italian salad. If the weather nice eat outside. Service is wicked fast and professional. Portion sizes are too large but that is the tradition around here. Don't miss this place read more

Great staff and atmosphere. I love the Portobello Mushrooms. I gave only 4 stars out of 5 because I think the prices are way too high for what you get. Great place though. read more

The downtown area of Belleville is experiencing somewhat of a rennaissance of eating and drinking spots. Tavern on Main is one of the newer ones. The interior is very nice. Lots of color combined with the old bricks and timbers give it a great ambience. The menu is fairly extensive. I had a prime rib sandwich which was very tasty and of high quality. The service was very good. If I had a problem with this place, it was flies. I spoke with some friends who had been previously. They said they did not have this problem. On the day I was there, though, there were flies everywhere. I cannot, at this time, give Tavern a four star rating because of the flies. I plan to go back in the near future at which time I will update as necessary. read more

Just stumbled upon this place on beautiful Main Street in Belleville. We had the lunch buffet with delicious, piping hot home-made soups, pizza and pasta, and a great selection of cold salads. All for less than $10.00 per person. The owner and waitstaff were very pleasant and attentive. read more

I've dined here for dinner a few times now and have always had a good experience. The food is delicious. Tonight I had the bruschetta as an appetizer, a strawberry sangria, and the tavern chicken with bourbon sauce with a side of rice. Everything was great! The place is a little more noisy than I would prefer and I was tempted to only give three stars because tonight our service could have been better. Although nice, the waitress was fairly inattentive. There were times when we needed something and it took a good 10 minutes to get her attention. However, the food made up for the service issues. I would recommend. read more

Love this place. Great buffet, burgers and appetizers. Very good service at well. My favorite is the mushroom app. Excellent

Yummy! A go to for any time we want to eat out! Love that there's a gate around the outdoor eating area and a huge garage door type wall that they open up when the weathers nice. They have a great happy hour with appetizers so we can eat early for 1/2 off and walk down to the Lincoln. Everything here is great and surprisingly flavorful and diverse for Downtown Belleville. In the best way possible I'm saying the menu is great and is a restaurant I would drive to downtown St. Louis to visit with the bonus of it being 5 mins from home! read more

Delicious al fresco dinner. 5 diners and we were all happy with our choices. Meatloaf, Cajun pasta, beef medallions - all yummy. Salads were great too. read more

I'm a very picky French fry eater and their fries here are awesome. We had a grilled chicken and pulled pork sandwich which was okay Very POOR service read more

Food was very good. However, we came with a party for a bachelorette party. We had nearly 20 people and were forced to share 5 menus. The waitress took an hour to get out order, and the food took another hour fifteen. The waitress was extremely inattentive. Glasses were empty the majority of the night. I can understand business, but at least fake the apologetic demeanor. The automatic gratuity was crap, because it basically ensured us bad service. I've worked in the restaurant business for three years as a server. I never complain. I understand. But this was ridiculous. read more

Went with a group of friends for a nice dinner night out. Service was slow and took awhile to get drinks refilled. Salad was very delicious for the meal. I got the pesce marinara and my girlfriend had the linguini ala Marco. The pesce was flavorful but there was supposed to be scallops, shrimp and clams. There was 1 scallop and it was very undercooked and extremely chewy. The linguini ala marco was very tasteless and almost tasted out of a box. Had to add a lot of parmesan cheese to be tasteful enough to eat. Value of taste for price of food was not satisfactory. The setting was very pleasant, but we will not be back to eat , but would be back to have drinks. read more

I went here at 1:30 pm with my WONDERFUL extended family and got a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. The buffalo was not too spicy, but had a perfect flavor with some better than expected fries. I had a bite(or 2) of my brother's cuban sandwich, and it was decent. All in all, it's pub food. Good but not great. read more

I ate here on a Sunday for their buffet. I was very impressed with the food all around & will definitely be coming back to order off the menu. read more

Great place to go and socialize. The food is great, too! Staff is very kind and accommodating to large parties, when possible!!

we frequent the Tavern on Main quite often. The Brady Wings are the best wings I have ever had! The service can be slower some days, but most of the servers to apologize and are super friendly. I am also a hug fan of the lobster roll and of course the sweet Italian salad. read more

The place great curb appeal and the layout is spacious. The background music and decor lends to a comfortable feel within. Two thumbs up in that aspect.\ As for how my experience went the other day, the waiter was not familiar with pronunciation of the beers nor was a glass brought out with the beer. I realize for those who drink Bud/Miller/Coors it is appropriate to drink from the bottle, but a craft/higher quality beer needs a glass. Not sure if the Tavern is even aware that different styles of beer usually go with certain glass styles. Fortunately the first 3 glasses were beer clean, the fourth not so much. Food was brought out before the silverware and the waiter told us someone was bringing the silverware. We only waited 10 seconds or so until our forks arrived, but for an establishment that wants to be classier than a regular pub, put in some effort. Thumbs down when it comes to the waiter we had. He may not be the norm for the other wait staff but he did not impress at all. If the competition a block down the street is too packed, I may stop in Tavern again, but my first impression was nothing to brag about. read more

Been here several times before today. Always had great food and pretty good service. Today's lunch time visit was not so great. Went in for late lunch arrived about 1:20pm and sat at the bar. Female bartender came to the bar area and visited and gossiped with some of the other patrons seated behind me. Not once even looked in my direction or asked me if I needed anything. So after the bartender came to the bar area several times and me getting zero service I got up and left. I really do like the place might have try again but no time soon. read more

I love this place it's one of the best pizza I have ever eaten love Tea night fantastic drink service and atmosphere was also fantastic thank you I really enjoyed myself and so did the other 4 people in our group Went back to ST LOUIS and we all talked about it for days how delicious the food was and how much we enjoyed the atmosphere Thank you! ! read more

I agree with the review that states a great place for drinks with friends. The food has been disappointing for more times than not. I don't understand how one time you go and the salad is good (never great). The next several times it is just plain bad. No consistency. I feel they are just too busy to produce quality. They have a great place with awesome atmosphere but we are just getting tired of being disappointed in the food. The service also is hit and miss. Again, if just going for drinks would highly recommend. Just wish the food was consistent. read more

Not a fan. Went in tonight to celebrate a friend having a baby. The tab came out incorrect with me being charged for items we did not order. The manager wouldn't even listen to me. He less than professional and refused to look over the bill with me. I paid the bill but wot be back. read more

Love The Tavern, On Main. Reminds me of some of my favorite places up in Northern Michigan. Friendly Staff, Great Food (love the crunchy grooper). The place is always clean, and that does count. Nice job guys read more

Took newly re-located friends, from the Champaign area, to dinner there last Friday eve. Wanted to introduce them to our lovely City. They were impressed that Belleville had a historical building renovation into a classy bar / restaurant. Actually they loved the whole Downtown Belleville ambiance. We did have an hour wait for our table, but that really was not such a big deal. We enjoyed before dinner drinks at the "horseshoe" shaped bar. The ice ledge is an upscale addition to the bar. Look up and notice the martini glass light fixtures! Mark has taken the extra steps to make his new endeavor to another level. My husband was impressed that the menu was not the regular "bar food". He totally enjoyed the Steak Marco, I had one of the evening specials, Grilled Salmon with a Terryaki sauce. Friends stated they could cut their steaks with a fork. Of course we all had the signature Italian dinner salad. All of just happened to choose the same sides, wild rice & a Mediterranean mixed vegetable medley of steamed broccoli, cauliflower, squash & carrots. There seemed to be a splash of white wine to season them. A surprisingly nice accent to the veggies. We were all very impressed with the latest addition to Downtown Belleville. Nice job, Mark! We will be back. read more

Came in after our shift from the Chili Cook Off with our crew. Had the Portabella Strips which were as big as steaks, and the Jalapeño and Mango Shrimp which were awesome! Even the bed of grits that they were on was delicious, and I am not a big grit fan!! Then after the appetizers we ordered the Lobster BLT pizza. Holy cow!!! This has to be one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten! Just the right amount of everything. Be sure to put a little spinach on each bite to bring out the flavors! Our server Mike was spectacular!! As busy has it was from the Chili Cook Off, he always made sure our drinks were full and that we needed for nothing. Great job Mike!! Its great to know that Belleville has a great place for awesome food, reasonable prices, and where the service is top notch and its not another chain restaurant. Will definitely be a return customer! read more

Good food great location try to get the back room not so noisy. Use to be the old pie pantry restaurant court. Good Belleville history. Very nice to eat outside except for the smokers that like to break the no smoking rules and smoke at the eating tables. read more

Nice atmosphere. Wish the bar was bigger. Fair prices and good food

How about you design a website and post some holiday hours up....or maybe on your answering machine?? just a thought

I've been to ToM four times, and my experience has been pretty consistent. Great service and atmosphere, excellent and extremely reasonably priced drinks, but the food is mostly only ok. I've never had a bad meal there, just not one that was so good I thought about it for days afterward - until Saturday. I have been wanting to try the BBQ shrimp and grits the last few visits, but something else always won out. Finally got to try it this weekend, and I'm hooked. The shrimp is great, but the grits are the star of the dish. I have no idea what they put in the grits, but they were ridiculously flavorful. I'll be getting it on all future visits. Overall ToM is a totally worthwhile choice for a dinner out. read more

I live in Belleville and try so hard to do things locally, but then whenever I do I have such a horrible experience like I did here which is why I prefer to eat in St. Louis. The ambiance was nice eating outside and there was no wait despite it being Saturday night. It was great they brought out my kids food first, something I value in a restaurant. My kids had the fettuccine Alfredo and spaghetti, I took a bite of the fettuccine and it had no flavor. I ordered the steak and my husband had the tavern chicken. They both had no flavor, the salad was depressing the lettuce was limp and it was just lettuce and dressing. The potatoes tasted instant and the carrots were over seasoned. The worst part is everything was terribly over priced. There seemed to be a lot of people, but maybe it was for the alcohol which I didn't partake in, but I'm not sure the appeal other than proximity, but don't waste your time. read more

I've only been to this place once but my main gripe is that it's way overpriced for standard pub fair. I got the wings and my girlfriend got a fancy salad which didn't look very fresh. After a couple of beers, the bill was remarkably high for what we considered similar to what we'd revive at aJoe Nobody's greasy spoon in every town. read more

Tried this new place for dinner Monday night and was impressed. The place looks great compared to what was in this location before. Bar area was classy, dining rooms were open, and best of all the bacon-wrapped filet was wonderful. Service was better than expected for the recent opening. Some kinks to be worked out including menus printed on the office computer (I'm assuming this is coming soon) and limited dessert selection which the waitress said was coming as well. Would definitely return to try another dish. read more

Once a restaurant, now a sports bar. If you want a bustling room full of tv's, with rushed service, and ok food you're fine. White wine was lukewarm, salads--which could have been good--were served on hot plates, fresh from the dishwasher. Burger, fries, baked potatoe were good. Scallops were gritty and drowning in sauce. Service gave you that "hurry up, eat, and leave" feeling. A real disappointment compared to prior visits. read more

Menu sounds good...execution...not so much. Me and three friends went on a Friday around 930pm. There was no wait. Our waitress brought us water, dropped it off and walked away. We had already been waiting for a while to get that so we actually wanted to order appetizers. She then walked around the restaurant and was going to just walk right past our table and i had to flag her down to order appetizers. The portabella strips were really good but the other apps we had...hummus and tequila lime coconut shrimp were mediocre. I ordered the surf and turf which came with a side salad and a baked potato. I got the sweet italian salad and it was not good. It had a lot of undercooked bacon, a few sprinkles of cheese and was supposed to have scallions which i didnt see, with iceberg lettuce. My steak was undercooked to my liking so i sent it back and then when it came back the outside of it was burned. The scallops could have been seared better and were lacking in flavor. My friedn ordered tomato bisque and did not like it. It was very chunky instead of smooth like a bisque. And my other friend ordered a ceasar salad with grilled shrimp and she was not impressed with that either. She said the dressing was nkt a typical ceasar but it was kind of sour and bitter. So...none of the food was impressive and it was expensive for the quality of food. The icing on the cake was that me and my three friends had been there for at least an hour and a half and had finished eating and everything. Some other fruends came over and ordered a couple of drinks. Tell me why the waitress charged me and my three friends for gratuity bc she said we had a party of 8? I argued the fact that we had been done eating when our friends joined us. She tried to explain why but i wasnt convinced and didnt feel like arguing but that was pretty bogus in my opinion. I will never eat there again. read more

Lots of empty tables, yet we were told there'd be "like about an hour wait" for a party of 2. Okay, technically not a food review but nonetheless reflective of some service-related issues. read more

The food was great and the patio is very fun when the weather is nice. Nice selection of cocktails.

Had buffet at lunch..hubby had grouper it was so over cooked that was nothing there but breading. .horrible. buffet consisted of too salty soups soggy salad and terrible cold pizza...oh the ravioli could not be chewed..great spot but not for food. read more

go there atleast once a month. great service. the lobster blt pizza is to die for with a white sauce that is unbelievable. and the cost is reasonable. read more

Greatest restaurant this side of the river by far. The food isn't just great it is fabulous. The service is better than any other place. The atmosphere is awesome. The bar has an ice rail to keep your drink cold to the last drop. My friends and I say it's the only place in town where the last drink is colder than the first drink. One dining room is dark and quiet for an intimate experience where the other is full of TVs. You can watch your favorite game and enjoy the best meal of your life or sit at the bar and enjoy a drink with five TVs of their own. read more
