    came in here on a friday around 9ish for dinner. the poke nachos & sliders were yummy but the wings were a little overcooked. there was kind of a lot going on though with karaoke and having to walk over to the counter for refills or dips versus having staff check on us. overall it was just an ok vibe and an ok meal.

    The menu

    Stopped into Trax to see what it was all about. Wide open bar setting with 2 actual bar seating areas. There were some TVs showing different sports, but soccer was the game of the day. Drink selection was ample and had some interesting selections. It was nice to want to "try" something new. Food options looked good. We got the pretzel with the meat and cheese addition. Mustards were good, pretzel was on point, cheese and meat aligned with the $6 add. The almonds were the plain variety, and the chocolate portion were mini chocolate chips which gave us a chuckle. It was enjoyable and valuable price point. Service was there, we were not left wanting and also not bombarded. We got to enjoy our time.

    This place had 4.7 stars on YELP, so we decided to give it a try for lunch. Not crowded at all, so we sat at the bar. Our server was really nice and answered my husband's questions about all their beers. He ended up ordering a red beer which he said was really good. Very refreshing. Different menu with choices we had never heard of before. My husband ordered the Cheesy Burger Taco $7. He loved it. It is tiny, but he said really filling. I ordered the Ahi Poki Nacho $18 which was so yummy. I would definitely come back here and order another one of these. Delicious!! Not a fancy, schmancy place at all, but the great food and Staff makes up for the lack of ambiance. We were surprised it didn't get busier as it was lunchtime. We will definitely be coming back when we visit this area again.

    They have pool tables, games, tv's, a big menu of food and beer and liquor. The staff are very friendly and it's open and airy. We had the tacos and chicken sandwich which were delicious. Definitely wanna come back for Karaoke.

    GREAT beer, GREAT atmosphere, and GREAT customer service! This place is awesome and we always enjoy ourselves when we come in. They have a wide variety of beers on tap so everyone can find something to sip on. They also have a bunch of beers on tap. Find a seat at the bar or at a table. This place is great for small or large groups. Wanna play a game while you drink, perfect! They have you covered. They have a pool table and an electronic dart board. FOOD: They have a small menu with a good selection of bar bites and the food is tasty. TO-GO: They have a bunch of beers that you can take to-go. PARKING: There are a few spots on the side and front of the building. Most of the parking is street parking. If you're not in the mood to look for a spot on the street, great! There's a free parking garage nearby.

    As soon as we walked in it felt like a neighborhood hangout. We were greeted right away and looked at the food menu and beer menu. They also offer cocktails. You have to go up to the bar to order food and drink. Julia helped us with our order. They have a pool table and lots of TVs to watch sports. You can sit at any open table or at the bar. We ordered a couple of beers and the Roseville Rolls and Cheesy Garlic Bread. The bartender brought the food to our table. The rolls were tasty but the Cheesy Garlic Bread was more like a flatbread not the French Bread style we like. I also tried the Screw This cocktail. It was tasty but not the flavors I thought it would be. While sitting there several families came in and sat down. Feels very family friendly. There is also a small outdoor area to relax.

    Glad I mark this one off the list. Went after seeing the IG stories that they were serving up rita slushes wish I would've added a double to it. We did luck out with happy hour and were able to try a couple things we opted for the taco and the garlic cheese bread I would say both were yummy but the flatbread was the winner. Street parking only.

    Poke nacho

    Good service and food! Great location. My only suggestion would be to get some kind of wasabi soy sauce to go with the Aji poke nachos. Everything else was delicious. That was even delicious. It was just missing something.

    The Trax Taproom and Kitchen is a fun place to chill and to eat. I specifically went for the Open Mic Night on Mondays hosted by CJ Washington and Devin Wright for Motiv Local Live Music. Those two are my favorite local band. I was so impressed by everyone's singing and instrument playing abilities. No one had stage fright. They just confidently perform. Seth Kaminsky was also there to perform 2 new songs. Other singer-musicians included Nikki, Larry, Todd, Charlie, and more. David Albertson from my other favorite local band, The Albertson Duo, also can show up for Open Mic Night. Recommended by the owner, the Conductor Sliders are 2 mini cheeseburgers with arugula and paprika seasoned fries. Burgers were yummy and tender topped with melted cheese and grilled onions. The Trax tacos are fully loaded with chicken, pickled red onions, tomato chunks, and paprika crema wrapped in a cheese fried tortilla. You get 3 in an order. $1 off beer during Happy Hour 4-6 PM every day. Beer is served in 10 oz and 16 oz size glasses. Owner was kind enough to let me taste 2 beers before deciding on #25 Hemly Cider Pink Lady. You can also order a flight of beers for $14. I didn't see any dessert on the menu, but I spotted Flores gummy fruity candies for sale. I think I found my hangout spot! Check out Trax for excellent food and entertainment.

    Found this place after searching for nearby taprooms. It used to be a different restaurant so we found it easily in downtown Roseville on Vernon. It was early when we went in (around 4pm) so we had most of the place to ourselves but it filled up quick! Hubby and I both got a tasting flight. I really love being able to do this. You get a good taste of 6 different beers, ciders, or hard seltzers. We both found one in our flight we really enjoyed and ordered one to drink with our snack. We ordered the tot-chos and the soft pretzel to share. People, have you had peanut butter sauce with your soft pretzel? OMG. Sounded weird but was easily my favorite thing we ate. The tot-chos we not my fav but I'm not a bbq sauce fan, if you are you'll love these. All in all, really loved the location, atmosphere and the huge selection of beers on tap. Definitely going back!

After a friend introduced me to their menu, I started occasionally getting a craving for their corned beef tacos. You have to add bacon and jalapeños, though! Today, during my tattoo session, we took a lunch break and I came over to the Boxing Donkey. I've been wanting to try their version of fish & chips ever since my daughter ordered them years ago. Plus, I needed something not quite as filling as my beloved corned beef tacos. So, I ordered the fish & chips and their Donkey Pretzel Balls with homemade mustard aioli. While I waited, I went with a hazy beer that I can't remember the name of because it wasn't my usual go-to. The Donkey Pretzel Balls arrived first. I was looking forward to dipping those soft pretzel balls into their mustard aioli... but unfortunately, I wasn't a fan. There was something about the pretzels themselves that tasted a little burnt to me. Kendall, the bartender, offered to remake them. She mentioned that's just how they taste, but offered to bake them a little less to see if that would tone it down. Unfortunately, I still picked up that same flavor. The fish & chips, on the other hand, were fantastic! Crispy batter, juicy cod... and the batter was seasoned perfectly. I loved the sprinkle of sea salt and dill on top of the fish, and it came loaded with tons of their hand-cut Donkey fries. At that point, I decided to leave the pretzel balls alone and focus on my fish & chips. Over the years, I've tried a few things from their menu, and I highly recommend the fish & chips and, of course, the corned beef tacos. I personally wouldn't order the Donkey Pretzel Balls again, although that homemade mustard aioli was delicious. They just had a flavor that wasn't for me.

This was actually the first time I visited the entire downtown Roseville area, and I was pleasantly surprised there was a parking garage since all the parking spots in front of the establishment were occupied. We arrived around 1:30PM and observed a fair amount of patrons on a Monday. We were immediately greeted and seated. Loved the decor. After a few minutes mulling over what to get, I ended up getting the French Dip with duck fat fries. I also tried their Divinity Stout. Wow. The food - Amazing! Really enjoyed the French Dip - well sized portion and ended up having leftovers that I was able to enjoy a few hours later ha! The Stout (Divinity) - I need to go back and buy some bottles to go.

The bartender decided to not talk to me for 15 minutes at least. I watched him slowly make somebody else's drink, leave the bar and just go chitchat with people that were already there drinking beer and having food and then disappearing into the kitchen. So rude.

I usually go for the dirty grilled cheese, always comes out great (tons of meat), looking and tasting delicious. Tonight I made a different choice, thought I'd try a bit healthier option with the meat sampler chicken. Now usually when I have been to bbq spots you get like 1/2 chicken so I was VERY shocked when the smallest piece of sliced chicken breast came out on a little side plate. Was a strange presentation and immediately had me disappointed in my choice. In fairness, the chicken tasted nice, was pretty dry though and barely warm, but good flavor at least (needed sauce so wasn't so dry). It was maybe 4-5 ounces of chicken which seems a bit skimpy for the price. My side salad with blue cheese dressing was good as usual. They should really consider at least more chicken and better plating though! Got my usual, very berry refresher, maybe a new bartender tonight? Wasn't as good as usual, but everyone has an off night. Overall though, love this place, still gave a good rating and of course will be back.

We ordered nachos and side salads to get a feel for the place. The salads were okay, though they were plated in tiny bowls making it impossible to dress/eat without spilling on the table. We decided to ask for larger plates and dump the salads on those instead. The nachos were a gigantic portion with freshly made chips and looked promising. The flavor, however, was lackluster- mostly tasting of oil from the chips and the too thick layer of cheddar cheese. We picked around the plate, but eventually gave up. We won't return, but it seems plenty of others have found something they enjoy from this restaurant.

He enjoyed it, although it wasn't his favorite thing we ordered. The fries, though--SO good. The regular fries were crispy, stood up instead of being limp or soggy, and had the perfect amount of salt. We also tried the chili cheese fries and those were bomb! I thought the prices were very reasonable for the portions and quality. The cheeseburger was $11.99, the Swole' Chick was $14.99, regular fries were $3.99, and the chili cheese fries were $7.49. We definitely got a good amount of food for what we paid. There's plenty of seating inside and a bar at the front. My only real complaint was the fountain drinks. They don't carry Coke or Pepsi products and instead have RC Cola, which I had never tried before. I'd heard it was supposed to taste similar to Coke or Pepsi, but to me it oddly tasted more like root beer. The diet Dr Pepper was also out--it came out extremely light brown and mostly water. The ice machine also ran out of ice while we were there, but when we mentioned it to Joe, he immediately came over and refilled it, which I appreciated. Overall, we had a good first experience. The food was really good, prices were reasonable, and Joe was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The fountain drink situation could definitely use some improvement, but the food--especially those fries--would bring us back!

She was terrific, and she explained a bit about the history of OAR, and it's recent name changeover from Pete's to Al's. We started with the included salads. Mrs. had the house salad with blue cheese dressing; I had the Caesar. Both salads were surprisingly large and excellent. Larger than we expected, with cold, crisp ingredients and top-notch dressings. Totally enjoyable. 5-star. Because we were first-timers, we over-ordered a bit so we could taste several dishes. We ordered the fried calamari. Tami correctly assured us the coating was crisp, and it was. The problem was the calamari itself. It was tough and chewy, not particularly pleasant or tasty. After our 5-star salads, the calamari was a 3. Then came the mains. Mrs. had the shrimp linguini, which she pronounced: "good." The shrimp and pasta were cooked to just the right textures. We took home the leftovers. The dish was a solid 4. I had a full slab of the St. Louis ribs, and honestly, and sadly, they were a disaster. They arrived barely above room temperature. They were so tough that even with the provided sharp steak knife, cutting off an individual rib was difficult. The BBQ sauce was mediocre, and slathered atop a cold slab of tough pork ribs, the dish simply should never have been served. I'm guessing it was prepared yesterday and kept overnight in the refrigerator, but who knows? You do not want to order the ribs. I tried two ribs and left the rest on the table to be cleared away. I'd give them 1.5 on Yelp's 5-star scale. I don't want to dwell on a negative experience. There are quite a few positive Yelp reviews that make me think there might have been an explanation for our experience. But the tab with a 20% tip was $105.66, and I'm not willing to risk returning.
