A word from Great Northern

Inspired by the Great Northern Railway, the menu encompasses the arduous journey through the northern expanses of the United States as well as the influences of all of those that built it. As the Great Northern Railway winds itself through the landscape, it crosses many diverse areas. From the… coast of Washington to the Twin Cities, our menu embraces this heritage, and serves it in the comfort of the old railways. From fresh seafood and salads to fine steaks, we have something to offer everyone. View our menus online at www.gntavern.com to view both lunch and dinner selections.Continued

"Great Norther appears to be trying very hard but is just very far off. There were parts of the meal that were very good, but so much that was not. The hostess was unattentive, the service was overzealous/intrusive and the food was not great.
The potstickers were bland, there were no house cocktails and given a spirit to go from the bartender made a pretty bad drink (maybe I should have gotten it neat!), the chicken pot pie was nearly one solid lump, the rotisserie chicken was dry, the creamed corn just wasn't, the ribs were average (but the rib sauce quite good), the asparagus very good (simple, grilled), the sweet potato fries fantastic, the peach cobbler also a solid lump, the sorbet and ice cream ok and the decaf espresso very good."

"This restaurant has always impressed me. I've been there several times, for business as well as family or romantic occasions. The service has always been on point. The regular menu always meets every expectation of look, feel, taste, and aesthetics. Their featured or special plates have never left me or my guests wanting. I will return for many years."

"We were seated quickly and restaurant was warm and inviting. Server was a little odd, but fairly efficient. Our son's macaroni and cheese appeared to be instant and was not appealing. Our stuffed mushrooms and entree salads though were all quite good. Some sort of bread offering would have been nice. Server was a bit slow in settling the check, but overall it was a good experience. We'll just be careful what to order for our son in the future. Probably a nice place to visit for weekday happy hour."

"Decent happy hour deals. Bar crowd was older, after-work bunch. Food was mostly typical pub food with a couple interesting additions. Atmosphere was like a hotel restaurant. It just seemed stuffy for a tavern. Nothing impressive. Meh."
