Trail stop has always been a favorite, but last couple orders kinda let us down. This past weekend we ordered the Tavern burger (waffle fries) and Hangover burger (fries) to go, and the Tavern was missing the American cheese, the Hangover burger was missing the cheddar added and bacon (which sucked)! The fries with the Hangover were not cooked through also (barely cooked/limp). This was on a Friday afternoon so they weren't terribly busy, just not sure what happened. read more

Ordered breakfast for carry out- soooo good! I had the bananas foster French toast- it comes with 3 good size slices and has the most delicious brown sugar bourbon sauce instead of syrup. Peppered bacon was perfectly crispy too. Love the take out presentation- presentation is often difficult for carry out orders but they did an excellent job! read more

Fun atmosphere, decent patio. Servers were fun & friendly. We tried a variety of appetizers they were all good. Key lime martini was popular in our group. I didn't have one but it looked delicious. read more

We grabbed dinner here on a Thursday night, and it was much more lively than we expected! It seems like there is a large crowd of regulars who enjoy coming to play pull tabs. Even though it was busy, we were seated promptly and service was friendly. The buffalo wings were tasty, and there were paper towels at the table which came in handy while eating the wings - a nice touch. The sandwiches we tried were pretty average for a sports bar. I appreciated the Christmas decor as well, it made the space feel festive and cozy. Not somewhere I'd need to go back to for the food, but the atmosphere was fun if you enjoy sports bars. read more

We made our first appearance at this place and really liked it. The place was full and really hopp'n. I had the Bulgogi Bowl and it was excellent. The temp was so perfect that steam rolled out to o the last bite. It was so spicy my eyes sweated, but I couldn't stop. All the ingredients were super fresh and cooked to perfection. read more

I've driven by this spot multiple times, but this was the first time trying them out. I came for a late lunch (weekday around 1-2pm) and the place was fairly packed. At that point, I knew I was in for a treat. Any dining establishment packed at non-peak dining times must be a local favorite. I got the Thursday special: meatloaf with BBQ glaze, mashed potatoes, and char grilled corn. Meatloaf is one of my comfort foods, and this one really delivered. It was cooked perfectly; moist on the inside, a nice sear on the outside, and tangy BBQ sauce. The mashed potatoes and corn were pitch perfect too; I especially liked the char on the corn. The vibe is rustic casual, with ample large screen TVs for catching a sports game. Our server brought the wrong beer (light beer instead of Surly) , but made it right when we pointed it out. The acoustics were great; which is hard to find in populated places with a concrete floor. There is a parking lot. I'm already imagining a return visit next Thursday for more meatloaf! read more

Great spot. Great people. Great food. Loved the vibe. Will absolutely be returning for more!

Grilled Caesar sandwich was delicious. The Bread is covered in a Parmesan crust and not dry at all. Italian beef and pasta dishes hit the spot. Haven't had a bad meal here yet. Kids are big fans of the boneless wings - very saucy and good portion size. Burgers went over well too as well as the wildcat fries. Large bar area and indoor/outdoor seating. Pull tabs available while you pass the time. Lighting is a bit dim, but that gives it the ambiance. Always crowded and a bit loud but you're still able to carry on a conversation. Servers are always prompt and friendly. read more

Horrible service. Just was there with a large group of 10 adults and 6 14 year olds. The staff insisted on 1 bill instead of separating by family... Which was fine. There were 2 people who hadn't received their meals yet and the server approached with the final plate. She told my wife that they ran out of an ingredient to make what she ordered and asked if she would like something else. My wife said no since half of our party was almost finished. I spoke with a very rattled manager (it was busy) about how it would have been nice to know that they were unable to make my wife's meal before the final two meals were being delivered. The manager then defended the job her staff were doing given the size of our party... Even though my wife didn't eat and I did not get my water for at least 10 minutes after sitting down. The manager then said she would take my wife's meal off the bill, and I said, of course you will because she never got her meal. The manager gave a snooty look and walked away at that point. Then, we paid full price for our two kids meals and we were unable to decrease the tip because they added it on to the one ticket they originally mandated. read more

Amazing atmosphere great food awesome drink specials. What an absolute wonderful staff and bartenders that takes care of the customers. A few times I have been there I have had jill or angel as the bartenders both are Rockstar bartenders I absolutely think it's so much better than 721 sports bar in eagan. Trail stop prices are very reasonable and great food read more

I had a really great breakfast here with friends today. Food was REALLY good and reasonably priced! The service was EXCELLENT. They have a Bloody Mary bar I didn't partake in but if a person likes bloody Mary's, this setup looks FABULOUS! I will be back, mostly because there were so many things I want to try on this menu!!! read more

Trail Stop Tavern - Avocado toast, eggs over hard with parm potatoes- fantastic! - American Near Me - Eagan, Minnesota

Trail Stop is one of my go-to places in Eagan! We enjoy sitting on their patio during a warm summer night. The regular menu has great staple items, and their seasonal menu is a bit more creative! I've enjoyed trying new things from both menus, depending on what I'm craving that day. See my photo description for more details :) They're parking lot is free. I've never had an issue finding a spot. The host, bartenders, and waiters/waitresses make you feel right at home! read more

Gave this place a try for lunch. Quick service. They do offer a lunch special where you pick 2 of sandwich, salad, and soup. That's what I got this particular day, with a turkey sandwich and the beer cheese soup, which was the special of the day. I normally love beer cheese, but I think they might have used an IPA or something super bitter for the beer, as the soup had quite a bite. Friend had a burger and it was giant. Split it in half and half even still seemed like too much. You definitely don't get cheaped out of food here. Prices were a little high for lunch, but I guess that's just the way things are now. Will come back for a burger at dinner sometime! read more

Stopped in here last night for a few drinks with my buddy who I haven't seen in a while. Our server, Hanna was amazing along with the rest of the staff. My drinks were great and the nachos that we got were awesome. The place is nice, but could easily get packed. read more

Great family restaurant. Came in as a family of 4 at 6pm on a Friday night. The place was full, but somehow we were seated immediately. Service was great. Most of our food was pretty good, but choose from the menu wisely. The burgers were delicious. It seems the Cowboy Burger was the clear winner for our group, followed by the Caliente Burger (if you like peppers). The Steak & Bleu Wedge salad was tasty, but the grilled sirloin was a bit chewy and the bacon tasted more like bits of ham. The lettuce was extra fresh and crispy and made up for the non-crispy bacon. My son ordered the Santi's Street Tacos and didn't want to share with me but he said they were just okay. read more

I am a big fan of this joint. The staff are great and the food is good. My one warning is if you are planning on stopping by after work on Friday, don't fucking bother. It is slammed ever time. You will leave annoyed! read more

Stopped for a late dinner on a Saturday, first impressions when walking in was it was SO loud. We were seated at a nice corner booth and a server came by our table shortly. We ordered several apps to share between our group, my favorite was the Nashville chicken sliders. They were HOT but I liked them. The other apps we tried were good, Szechuan green beans, burger sliders, and wings. I'd recommend if your looking for a local watering hole with good bar food. read more

Good appetizers and pull tabs! Good spot to meet up with friends. Easy parking and friendly staff.

Good place to go to watch sports on multiple TVs. Service was great and they have a good selection of craft beer on tap. Though I came in the winter, I like the outdoor patio they have. It is a nice place to have a beer and watch people. read more

We stopped over here for dinner while we were in the area - and it was a great little place to stop and eat! The best part of this place was the service - our food was out alarmingly fast, we were shocked! It was great though, we were out within an hour. This is a cozy little joint - feels like both the neighborhood bar to go watch the game at, as well as a nice little place to grab a bite to eat on a night out with the family. For food, I ordered the Teriyaki Chicken bowl with rice noodles - it was delicious and even came with chopsticks! The dish was very light and tasty - packed with veggies and chicken. I got through about half and even ate the rest as leftovers the next day! I would definitely come back and order it again. My boyfriend ordered the beef quesadilla - it was good, but very average bar food. Overall, a great little place to stop and eat - but nothing too special. read more

Amazing sports tavern! The restaurant is split in half so I be ambiance is great for those who love sports or those who wish to enjoy the company of others. The service was great and quick with our food. I love a good hangover burger and coleslaw, and I have to say both were some of the best dishes I've had in a long time! The hangover burger was not too messy from the egg yolk, and the coleslaw was the right amount of liquid to slaw ratio. My old-fashioned was mixed well and would recommend! Great stop and would recommend to anyone in the area! Will definitely come again! read more

I forgot that I had eaten here a month or so ago. It was a spontaneous stop and it was delicious and also a good time! Service was perfect, seating was nice, great atmosphere and for stopping bc of passing by, what a nice surprise! Glad this popped up because I would most definitely return here fir lunch or dinner read more

Checked out this spot on a whim when I was in the area because it has a decent rating but was unfortunately underwhelmed. The service and cleanliness were mediocre. The waitress was not very attentive or welcoming. Our table and seats still had crumbs on them, and the windowsill was dirty. The saving grace was the burger I got- the BLVD burger. It was one of the best burgers I've had and the flavor was fantastic! read more

Food was good. Buffalo potatoes and pretzel apps were wonderful. I had ABLT and it was amazing! Lettuce was crisp and fresh!

The service was very good. The food came out quickly. The food was average. I had the french dip with coleslaw. It was a smaller sandwich compared to other restaurants. I was okay with that, but was expecting more for an $18 sandwich for lunch. My husband thought his portion sizes were small too. There was just a small cup of french fries with his sandwich. I can understand prices going up or portion sizes going down, but not both at the same time. read more

I've been going here for years on Saturday mornings. I don't know how they stay in business. All the staff is indifferent. They never come back to see if refills are needed. Pancakes are served without syrup. Had to go and get our own. Not sure who is training the staff, but a better job needs to be done. The manager is pretty much the same as the employees so no wonder the staff is the same way. Food is average. read more

Great neighborhood restaurant and bar with friendly vibe and good food. The menu is pretty big so always something new to try along with rotating daily specials. The team is very friendly and the outdoor patio area is great when the weather is nice. We caught a vikings game here last Sunday and the atmosphere was festive and fun for game day. read more

Love the outdoor patio. Indoor tends to get a little loud. Have always been happy with service and food. Recently though, food has become too spicy - even the chicken in the tacos. A family member ordered the burrito and couldn't finish it because ut was so spicy. This is a change. For those of us who cannot eat spicy food. this change is disappointing. Please cut back on the spices!!! read more

We stopped here for lunch after visiting the ice maze. Food was just ok. I asked for NA options and was offered an NA margarita. It was ok. I had to send it back as it tasted like Pedialyte. Our server said they make it with some sort of electrolytes. My cod bowl had great fish, but the base had old lettuce and it kind of ruined it for me. I have to say our server was great and the service was very good. She was very understanding, apologetic, took the margarita back, and comped my NA beer. She said she related our feedback to the manager. It was nice to see the owner rifght there in the restaurant as well. read more

You won't go wrong stopping in at this family run restaurant. Lou the owner has an excellent personality and Rachel the bartender is badass as well. Food is delicious and the service is spectacular. They make you feel like family not a friend read more

Terrible service we tipped over 20% and left and when we can back the bartender immediately came up to us and said that we didn't tip and why not. Extremely unprofessional and rude as we did tip o er 20%. Would not recommend at all. However would recommend greg and lisa's next door not trail stop at all! read more

We eat here fairly often because we live close by. Especially enjoy the Friday fish fry because there are several choices of fish and sides. The blackened cod is a favorite. If the weather is nice, try the patio! read more

Definitely a shell of its former self. Their portions have diminished significantly over the last year or so. Had a buffalo chicken sandwich which was pretty much lettuce and tomato. The chicken was super thin and had a weird texture. Honestly, better sandwiches at Jersey Mike's. Salad portions and sides have shrunk way down as well. Used to be our favorite place to eat and recommended it often. Not anymore. read more

I love Trail Stop Tavern. The specials rotate and the menue is varied and good. Not a bad seat in the place and the staff are quite freindly. Summer nights, the patio is a good place to hang out, I especially love the loaded wild cat fries. read more

Atmosphere is a nice local bar with ample screens for viewing sports. Tons of wait staff but they aren't effective or attentive to patrons. Nice selections on the menu, cowboy burger was excellent however the cheese curds and deep fried pickles were quite disappointing. We watched our appetizers sit in the kitchen window while the wait staff sat around for over ten mins. Perhaps these appetizers would've been better served hot? Worth a shot if they can train their staff in better. read more

Food was good. Service was great. It's bigger than it looks from the outside, and outdoor seating in the summer is great! Parking can be a challenge during meal times. read more

We stopped here after taking fall photos at Lebanon Hills park. It was a perfect weather day. We sat outside for lunch. Everyone's food was delicious. I had the teriyaki chicken bowl and it was so good. The veggies were so fresh and the chicken was juicy. My husband had the hot Chicago beef sandwich with tots, also very good. Both of our kid approved of the tots haha! The service was fast and helpful. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area. read more
