Reviews for Trail Stop Tavern in Eagan, MN
This is my families go-to spot for some typical American tavern cuisine. Wings are honestly some of, if not the best in the... area. The more non-traditional tavern options are hit-or-miss but everything else (burgers, apps, salads) are great. I willagree with another review that the layout SUCKS for the front door. Not sure what they can do, but it is not pleasant to walk inor out of, especially for carry-out Read more
When we walked in we were seated immediately, and very soon after it began to get busy inside. The Sprite had the correct mix... and the machine was well cleaned, allowing the drink to have a smooth crisp taste. They were out of Jalapeno Poppers, so weordered the Wisconsin Cheese Curds. I have had fried curds at several places, but these are by far the best I've ever had, and its portion size was just as perfect. We ordered the Steak sandwich medium with tater tots, and the French Dip Sandwich withfries. Everything we ordered arrived at our table hot, fresh, and properly seasoned. For those who need salt or pepper, they arealready on the table as well as napkins in the form of a paper towel roll on a paper towel stand. Our server was absolutelywonderful, and as attentive as possible given the amount of tables she was working. I am giving this place 4 stars instead of 5only because I see 4 as great, 5 exceptional. If after a few more return trips I do not see delineation, I will update to a 5.We definitely play to return to try more of their fare! Read more
Great bar food, a decent selection of craft beers, excellent service and good price. It's usually always very busy for a reason,... it's one of my favorite comfort foods destinations. Read more
Awesome local restaurant, and fantastic staff who served us with a smile and no problems with the fact that we came in 30... minutes before the kitchen closed. We really appreciate it being able to get such tasty food late at night! Read more
OH MY GOD. Danica, my waitress, was the absolute most fun and amazing waitress ever. Don?t get me wrong, I have only had great... service at the trail stop tavern, but this woman went above and beyond to make me and my friends experience the best. We wereprobably her last table of the night and She was the one that made our night end special. Not only was she fun, she catered toour every last request even when it was 10 minutes to bar close. We walked away not only having a great experience, but feelinglike I made a friend in the process, I will never not ask for Danica! Read more
We ordered off of the seasonal menu. The jambalaya was particularly good, with great flavor. The burger was good; the fries were... undercooked, at least on the day we were there. Ambiance was a very typical sports bar, so something like jambalaya was a reallynice surprise for me, and while the burger meal kind of fell flat that day, service was good, and I'd be willing to try thisplace again.

Trail Stop Tavern was a big surprise when my buddy and I went there on kinda a whim (we were both driving in that area) on a... sleepy Sunday night. Both of us needed a break after a long weekend, and also needed just a casual, laid-back kind of relaxingplace on this night. Trail Stop was a perfect choice for this! It was a Tuesday night, and we expected the place to bedeserted, wow were we surprised! The inside bar/restaurant was jammed, and the country music was blasting. It had a great andrelaxing "vibe", though "maybe" the country music might have been a "bit" too loud for my tastes (not much of a country westernguy, right?). The menu was simple bar fare, and the beer n(served in enormous 20 oz sizes) was cold and reasonably priced. Wewere absolutely shocked to discover that Trail Stop is open till 1 am on some nights, and even 2 am on other nights (check theirschedule first). WOW, we've gotten so used to bars closing at 9 PM or maybe 10 PM during the COVID times, but not at TrailStop. No masks were seen in the entire establishment. We had two recommended apps with our beers - the Wisconsin deep friedcheese curds served with a wonderful jelly, and the deep fried pickles. The pickles were FANTASTIC, and came crunchy and saltyand perfect with the beers. Same for the curds - golden brown and perfectly fried. No calories in either of them, too! haha,yeah right, JUST kidding. The interior is casual, with a large center bar, and high tops all around. The ceiling was asurprise to me too - it was an old tin ceiling tiles. Really fun interior. But again, casual! Our server and the hostess werevery attentive, and helpful to us noobies. Their recommendations were spot on perfect. The beer selection is a bit "simple"for our old-age tastes, we would like to have seen a decent porter and a couple more tap lines for a few more options, but meh,the beer was cold, and that was good enough for me. High marks for the casual atmosphere, easy access Read more
Had a fantastic lunch here! My first time here. I ordered the street tacos and they were absolutely fantastic! My friend ordered... the hard shell beef tacos and to our surprise they were actually in a fried flour shell that was excellent! The black bean salsawas very good and the side of lime rice was ok, a little bland. Our service was great and it was very busy in there. Nicelydecorated and a fun atmosphere. Would definitely go back. Also they have a huge menu. You can have Mexican, Italian, Americanetc. etc. I saw many items I'd like to go back and try. Read more
