If you love chicken sandwiches like I do, this is your place. Softest bun, nestled between a spicy Nashville hot chicken breast and creamy coleslaw. Unbelievably delicious. Fries were an unexpected hit. I will be coming back to taste so much more they offer.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon for some lunch. It was pretty quiet. Solid service and solid food. We had chicken sandwiches which were delicious and our four year old had Mac and cheese and fries. He says it’s his new favorite and rated everything 4 out of 5 stars (his standards are higher apparently). We will definitely be back.

The staff was friendly. We stopped in during River Falls Days to have lunch and ordered their Nashville Chicken. It tasted like the cook “dumped” the salt shaker on it. I believed this may have been accidental, so we quickly pointed this out to staff. I could not eat the sandwich and it was not taken off our bill. It was a very unfortunate experience. I assume this is not their usual recipe. We will not be back.

Tarantino Tavern is fun bar that is our go to. They have great bands, great whiskey selection and, the best staff. The new menu is really good. Clearly a lot of thought went into making a great experience. Fred and Cedric have brought a great experience to River Falls.

Prices went up after remodel. You used to get a ton of wings but now the portions are less and price is more. Wings were average. Service was good

My boyfriend and I went there for lunch last week. We’ve been there before, but did take out, instead we dine in. The food is great and the chicken comes out perfect with a light golden crispy skin. My favorite is the Korean BBQ Chicken with kimchi as a garnish sandwich.

Wing special. Got 8 wings that were little in size and overcooked. Someone else at my table ordered the same and got 12 bigger wings.
