A-Town Tavern is a very nice upscale-ish restaurant with a fantastic menu of high quality food options, with an eclectic variety of well thought dishes. They also have great daily specials. The woodfire pizza here is top notch, with an excellent crust. We had the French onion soup to start, which was to die for. The best I've ever tasted. The Korean BBQ pizza was great as well. The ribs platter was good, they had a nice smoke flavor, they were just kind of small. The onion rings and potato fries were great as well. Good selection of beer, wines, seltzer, and liquor. Our server was fantastic.
We have never experienced anything subpar here! Tonight, we came here on a whim as we didn’t feel like cooking! We knew where we needed to go! Ricky our server was delightful, fun and engaging! A true gem!! Chef Craig was in the house and we’re not exactly sure what it is, we’ve eaten meals catered by him, his wife who is also a total Gem and his team! They don’t just serve food to fill your tummy! There is something different, a spice you can’t buy and that is food made with love, passion, persistence and dedication that goes right to your soul! My fiancé and I grew up in the restaurant/catering business. We know the hours, the early mornings, the late nights and the satisfaction of that exhausted feeling! You’ve done good things! To the hearts and tummy’s of many! Please know how much of the small town of Arlington, MN Appreciates you and every tummy and soul you’ve fed in our great state!! With Love, Understanding and Gratitude! Sal and Steve! PS, The Beef Commercial special tonight was out of this world amazing! That meal could have been served at a swanky downtown Minneapolis restaurant and charged double! We’ve never experienced a Beef Commercial like that before!!

I met Craig when he bought a vehicle from me at the dealership I work at. Super nice guy and he told me about his restaurant and catering. I meant to get up there all summer and didn't find a good time. But I finally brought my father "another foodie" there for his Birthday. Great looking location, great food, good service. I've been telling people about A-town since we were there and we'll definitely be back.
Only thing I would change, is I'd like to deserts to be bigger. But I understand that is personal preference.

We ate here for our anniversary, was delicious! So many things on the menu that we didn't get to try that sounded good, so we will need to go back! A very cute, intimate spot for a good meal. Our waitress seemed timid and inexperienced, but was attentive enough for us. Other wait staff nearby seemed good.

How does this little town have such an artsy atmosphere?
The bar is warm and inviting. The restaurant area is whimsical and filled with eye candy.
We had a sandwich and wood fired pizza. My next visit I’ll be tasting the onion soup.
