Also, has anyone ever had anything actually decent at Tavern United? 2/10

Is this a serious question?

Tavern is hands down the worst food ever served in Grand Forks.

At least the microwaves at Applebee's nuke most of the ecoli..

IMHO... the wings are terrible, dominoes wings are easily better.

Tavern is the Columbia Mall of food establishments... an embarrassment to the city and state for anyone visiting.

I don’t think I can disagree with this.

It should probably be on a plaque outside the place so people visiting know that we know and aren't proud its there.

Unfortunately the Canad has just gone downhill, albeit, slowly over the last 10-12 years. It’s still really nice and for now (until Olive Ann is completed) is the nicest hotel in town, and largest, and it’s full service. Connected to Alerus, etc.  it’s nice and big. It has it pluses and benefits. But it  needs some TLC, a capital injection and maybe re do one of the restaurants or just step it up a little. It’s still coasting off of itself just “being the canad” 

 

I still really enjoy the place, but it’s been sad watching it’s *VERY slowly just kind of age and nobody in management care enough to keep it pristine. It’s still nice for the record, but in another 10 years without some love it’s going to just continue.

Only place in town I know of where you can get Smithwicks on tap*. Love that stuff. Other than that, it's been a very underwhelming meal the couple times I've eaten there.

*the Cay used to have it so many years ago but I haven't been there in quite a while... anyone know if they've brought it back?

Molly Yeh's restaurant opening this weekend with an Open House on Saturday.  Signage pays homage to the old Whitey's font (and heritage)   This will be a huge add to the EGF Restaurant scene!  MUCH BETTER that when Dave Norman took over the (relocated but still historic) WHITEYS and crushed it into the ground like a stale PallMall with his horrible menu and pricing.  What an a-hole! 

Molly will do MUCH BETTER - check it out!

Tried Far East buffet the other day

 

easnt bad but panda Mongolian grill better

Just stick with the buffet and don't have anything off the Mongolian Grill.   A couple years ago saw an employee come out and stir the piles of raw meat and vegetables with no gloves going from chicken to beef to noodles and whatever.   Salmonella anyone?   Done and DONE! I could also tell you tales of being in their kitchen many years ago but lets not go there.  All I can say is "tubs of grey chicken on the floor" and enough said!

Far East used to be a lot better but their building is for sale and it's falling in on itself (plus they grew some kind of vegetables in the rear of the building last year next to the garbage dumpsters. - sure there's a health code violation there) but whatever - never made me sick.  

GF Classic China Garden has gone to crap - both food and service wise - what happened to the proliferation of Chinese Buffets??  We have no real go-to in GF - that sucks!

I have said this since i moved here.  Grand Forks does not have a good Chinese Restaurant.  I think if a good one came to town and put in a decent location could rack up all the business.  If i want decent Chinese food I will travel to Crookston both options there are decent.
