I'm quite shocked that this place has lasted as long as it has in Greenway Station. Working close by, I've seen so many different restaurants in and out of that area. Tanner's has always just been "OK" from what I hear. I could never speak for their food because I've only visited a few times for one or two drinks after work. The bar is always busy but the service is typically slow. I don't believe that any of their staff enjoys their job - or they all just have resting b**ch face.
A couple of coworkers and I stopped in for lunch on Wednesday around 11:30a. Originally the restaurant was pretty quiet and I could see a couple of employees sitting at the bar watching people walk in and seat themselves. I wondered how long it would take for someone to come over. Our waitress did greet us and get our drinks quickly but that'll be the last nice thing I say about her. She came back about 10min later to take our food order; egg sandwich, Tanner tacos and Chicken Philly Salad. Both of my coworkers raved about the tots and finished their meals. I rarely finish a salad but this one was delicious. It had the perfect balance of salad greens and toppings and I always appreciate a salad that has greens instead of iceberg. The chicken was sort of crispy but it really complimented the rest of the veggies.
The reason I don't give another star is because of their service. The restaurant started filling up rather quickly after we placed our food order and you could see our waitress panicking. All of a sudden she was just MIA. We could see all of the other tables looking around for her as well. It took 30 minutes to get our food, she never returned to refill drinks and then it took 10 minutes for her to get us our bill after we had to ask. We noticed another waiter and how he was basically running the entire floor himself, even taking over her tables. We felt bad that our tip was going to our waitress instead of him considering all she did was take our order and give us the bill.
