The Horseshoe Tavern

Everything is fine except the most important thing-the kitchen.
I'll start with the pros-the entrance group is excellent, the entourage is 4+. The service is 4+. Tinctures 5.
After opening the menu (elegantly decorated), the oddities begin. The peasant salad includes ingredients such as beef tongue, shrimp. Etc. the dishes are strange in composition, they do not correspond in any way to the names hinting at antiquity and traditions.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the receipt. The names are roughly from memory:
- solyanka 4- (there was not enough richness and taste)
- merchant's salad 3 (Caesar salad wrapped at home in a pancake with the addition of red beans). A strange combination that has no pronounced taste. In general, it's a mess.
- Beef Stroganoff 3 (unpleasant taste of beef)
- chicken under a walnut 2 (the name is not accurate. But this is the most disastrous dish. The walnut and cheese are burnt, the chicken is dry)
In general, I do not recommend it, we did not get any positive emotions from the dishes.

We were pleasantly surprised! For our entire journey through Belarus, this place is with:
1) the most pleasant prices
2) the most delicious food
3) friendly waiters (you will not find this everywhere in the country!)
4) a cozy atmosphere
For seven people, a business lunch with extra lemonade came out at 105 bel.rubles
There is a table for a large company with the aesthetics of a fireplace room.
Delicious national dishes. The food from the main menu is prepared in front of you, so the wait may be 40 minutes, but the business lunch was served very quickly - and with a national twist :)
Thank you!

A great place for dinner or lunch. There were 2 days in a row. The most responsive and attentive staff that we came across in Grodno. Plus great food and a humane price tag. Good portions, good serving, fast enough even when fully planted. The only drawback is that you need to book for the evening, even on weekdays. But on the other hand, it speaks well for the restaurant, for itself.

We passed by many times and decided to go in, an institution with a good entourage. The entrance group left a pleasant impression, they were greeted warmly. I liked the waiters very much, they did not impose themselves. Their work is top-level, polite, sociable.The menu was brought quickly, which was unexpectedly aesthetic, something I had never seen before.
We ordered tinctures and some dishes, everything was brought quickly, which could not but please. Special thanks to the chefs, tender meat and fish still need to be able to cook. You can see that they are pros. The design of the institution itself is a huge plus, everything is done for relaxation and pleasure. You just want to enjoy the moment, knowing that you are in a place where every piece of food is an art.

It is a very sincere institution and it is not at all surprising that places need to be booked in advance. There is a separate room for a large company and a closing door, when we visited, someone celebrated a holiday in it, I don't know how big it is. The day we booked the table came a little earlier, the girls were very polite and accommodated us without any problems. According to the occupancy of the hall and the number of waiting guests in the lobby of an empty table, it was clear about the popularity of this institution.
Service: quickly, we took orders and gave the dishes to everyone together. There was no such thing that someone would already get there, and someone was sitting and bored. The waiters know the menu, can tell and advise.
As for the dishes. The portions are decent, considering their cost, a very pleasant ratio. Of course, there is a small remark about the zeppelins, they "fell apart", the potatoes floated around the edges and looked more like wet mashed potatoes.
Come, you definitely won't regret it, compared to another institution, from which we were mildly shocked.
Unfortunately, not all photos could be placed under the review

An atmospheric place with very pleasant prices! Cozy, friendly waiters, a large selection of dishes and going to eat sula after a long walk through the beautiful city of Grodno was a great idea! This is not a restaurant, so we did not have high expectations. But everything was delicious and satisfying, so we safely recommend this place)

We are guests from St. Petersburg.
We came in on a recommendation.
An atmospheric institution, Yes, like a tavern, not to be confused with a restaurant. The portions are large. The price tag is very even.
Positive.
1. Orange - mint lemonade, very tasty.
2. Belarusian borscht, very tasty and a lot.
3. The tea is delicious, black with orange peel.
But still, there are disadvantages for me.
1. Tavern-style salad with poached egg (I ordered it precisely because of the egg), but in fact it was brought with fried egg.
2. I didn't like the pickled pears, they weren't salty at all. There is something to compare.
3. Meat slicing The "Meat dish"
is cut very thickly. Someone likes it.
4. Half a meter of lard, very tasty. But even here, not everything is so good, the onion and garlic are cut very thickly, chapped. Mustard is so weak that it could be eaten like that.
5. The husband ordered a steak Mignon, asked for medium roasting, and brought a vel dan.
6. The tinctures are so-so, I gave a lot of alcohol.
PS. The portions are so large that I asked for my second dish (Princely Braid), which they told me, we'll bring a container, and you fold it yourself. I've never had this before.

Sometimes we come to your place for lunch, sometimes in the evening. There are no questions about the lunch menu or the evening menu. Always large portions and very tasty, the serving is fast. The girls are always friendly, neat, dressed in a uniform with a national flavor. Of course, it is a pity that the appearance of the administrator does not match the style of the institution, as if she came from the beach. After lunch, we wanted to talk to the administrator about the pre-order - she wasn't there, we came up later: she still wasn't there. But the waitress girls did well, they answered all the questions, explained everything, thank them very much!

Our favorite place to hang out with friends.
We always gather in a large company....
There is a separate room with a large table (for a large company).
Delicious salads, excellent tinctures...... Good quality of hot dishes.
The prices are very loyal.
Clean and cozy.
But the service is "lame ".

A wonderful place!
Borscht is excellent, rich, thick!Feed the fire! With lard, garlic and a pompom!
Draniki is not the best option.
Pork knuckle is the most delicate and delicious!
And the self-made liqueurs are very tasty, I liked them most with cherries and mountain ash!
Everything is served on time, one of the best establishments 100%!

The Horseshoe Tavern on Kirov in Grodno is a very cool institution ; we were in Grodno for three days ; we visited the Horseshoe for three days . An adequate price for delicious dishes ; cold brew ; pancakes with different fillers ; dishes on a spit ; I liked berry tinctures of my own production . The original presentation of dishes . It 's a very decent place . It can be crowded and therefore sometimes a reservation is required in advance .

The food and service are at a good level.
But!! This institution was chosen because of the availability of liqueurs and tinctures of its own production in the assortment, most of them were absent at the time of the visit. Which is already extremely saddening.
The second blow was the warm tinctures of raspberries and cranberries brought. Since I know the taste of raspberry tincture from personal stocks, this one was clearly made from jam - it saddened the soul again.
The interior and the musical accompaniment live in two different worlds.
But they cook delicious)

Delicious food, decent portions. A pleasant price category.
The atmosphere and decoration of the tavern correspond to the name of the institution.
Polite staff.
Of the minuses, I did not like the serving of dishes / changing of dishes, when ordering: salad, soup, hot; soup was served simultaneously with salad, hot was also served after.

Delicious and fast, a varied menu.
She was met by a quick and intelligent waitress, who immediately warned about the absence of three dishes on the menu. They served very tender and delicious pork (meat in the gentry style), as well as a properly cooked "lean vegetable dish" steamed. The princely meat braid of pork tenderloin and chicken fillet is not greasy, it may seem a little dry, but soft.
The prices for this quality are reasonable.
The room is small, the kitchen is open until about 22:00.

One of the best establishments in Grodno. It is better to book places in advance, because the institution is popular. The menu is not very extensive. The dishes are made with high quality. "Crown" cafe - baked boar knee - pork knuckle. With a crispy crust.
I advise everyone to visit this institution!

On July 21, we accidentally went to this cafe, it was already in the evening, I really liked the quiet atmosphere, fast delivery, delicious food, many thanks to the waitress and the bartender, since we are tourists, these girls explained to us how to get to the place we need. If we visit Grodno again, we will definitely come in.

Just a delight. We were in Grodno for 2 days, we couldn't get in on the first day, because there were no places. We booked a table for the next day! The menu is large, the portions are large, delicious insanely. The waiter-girl told and described everything in detail. The price tag for such a kitchen is very good, we will definitely return to Grodno. I advise you to try the grandmother, but it's better to take it for two, it's hard to master yourself!

A cozy cafe with traditional cuisine hooked us back in 22, we had lunch and dinner only there while arriving in the wonderful city of Grodno, today we decided to return to the proven places, as it turned out, in vain. The decor and style remained unchanged, but the cuisine is disgusting, traditional dishes are undercooked, raw potatoes, meat filling with a strange peculiar smell, bristles stick out of the skins. There are no words, only negative emotions!

We stayed in Grodno and the region for 5 days, ate in various advertised places: cafe Nebo, karchma on Sovetskaya, restaurant Bialystok - everything is simple - food and collecting money, no emotions! And suddenly, around the corner of the house where they lived, on Kirov Street, they accidentally entered the Horseshoe tavern. An unpresentable-looking door led to an inn that captivated us with both the service and the kitchen!!! The portions are simply huge, when ordering, be sure to look at the gramophone, otherwise you can overeat or take it with you!!! Many thanks to the girls, everything is fast and high-quality, and most importantly - they smile, this is a rarity in Belarus!!! And the kitchen - special thanks!!! At lunch, pumpkin puree soup, Stroganoff liver - the price and quality are on top! There are 30 bins for two. We returned to dinner: Pancakes, a warm salad "rustic", beef steak for hot - all with fervor, with heat! Beer on tap is just a miracle!!! Thank you very much!!! We will get back to you!!! I recommend this cozy place to everyone!!!

I visit this place periodically, I really like the service and the quality of the prepared dishes.
Of the minuses: the administration is never in place, and if it is, then you will never get any clear information, it is better to contact the waiters who will settle these issues, although this is not their responsibility. There are still questions about the availability of items on the menu and the design of dishes (the paper is too wet in half of the cases), why the management does not monitor this.
In general, a positive attitude is only due to employees, not superiors.

We went to this restaurant purposefully to taste pork knuckle.
The steering wheel turned out to be decent. The beer is also fresh.
We tried soups and salads along the way. Everything is very tasty. But the star was lowered for the service. I don't know if it's a specific waiter or such a policy of the institution as a whole, but it was disappointing, of course. This was especially evident when we left, we told the staff goodbye, to which we heard a cold goodbye in response, while the staff did not even look in our direction. Thus showing an absolute lack of interest in us coming back.
As a result:
Kitchen- 5
Maintenance - 3
This way you can lose all your customers. We need to work with the staff urgently.

Definitely 5 stars! We went to lunch with a girl when we were walking around the city. We went to a business lunch and were delighted. We ate cold water, beef liver, potato slices, and leafy vegetables. All the dishes are cooked very tasty, the portions are large. The prices are absolutely reasonable, for 40 rubles we ate too much delicious food, we have never eaten better in any institution before!
P.S. I would also like to thank the wonderful staff, two waitresses serving the guests, who are as polite, friendly and hospitable as possible, and also dressed in national Belarusian outfits! In general, thanks to them and respect!

It was the first time in the institution that the reviews were only positive, the food was delicious, the staff did well, they cleaned and acted all the time. There is only one small nuance. I went there hoping to eat zeppelins and there were none, but I was not upset. There will be a reason to return to this wonderful institution.

A very nice small place, we were pleasantly surprised.
First, the location in the center.
Secondly, fast service - no need to wait for someone to come to you, there is no long wait for food or drinks, quick payment. The waiter Daria was attentive and polite, answered all questions about the menu, helped to choose a dish, including for the child.
Thirdly, delicious and satisfying food at reasonable prices.
Fourth, a cozy room.
I consider Grodno to be the best institution according to my criteria.

One of the advantages is that you can have a hearty and hearty meal for little money. On the day off, it was quite free and there were free places without any problems.
Minus for sooo greasy food, the oil flows straight down, even in ordinary zeppelins or draniki

We were with friends this summer. And so they didn't regret it.
Positive:
The service is fast and friendly.
Despite the full landing, the dishes were served very quickly.
As such, they did not find any disadvantages and on the next visit to the beautiful city of Grodno, this institution will be on the note.

Hurray! We found the worst cafe-canteen. They bring everything at once, both cold appetizers and soups and main dishes. Let it stand on the table and cool down. The very first salad from the menu is dry chicken breast with mayanesic and lettuce. The dishes themselves look like even in Soviet times, the chefs were simply shot. How the side dishes , flavors , and ingredients are combined with each other is not clear at all … You are great fellows, it's just difficult to create such a thing! Congratulations! You are the winners in the nomination for the worst cafe in the city! It 's a pity they didn 't eat the photo .. It was very funny!

They opened a cool cafe for their family. We have been there several times, it is very tasty. My husband and I got a boar's knee, and my mother got wings. Although they didn't cook it once...Well, how...it was done, but the crust did not crackle, for which, in fact, they went. It's sooooo delicious. Cool surroundings are made, such a rustic style. The children really liked the cafe....

Well, everything is difficult, borscht is FIRE, but.. garlic is dried to the fat. Draniki..there are no printed words - it was not possible to try it worse in 2 weeks. The service is below average: they forgot, they did not hear, although they nodded. When asked to turn on the fan (we were sitting upstairs in a stuffy dressing room), the answer is "it won't work anyway.."
In my opinion, after a couple of good reviews, the guys relaxed and "it'll do."..
The second time- well, no.

The Most Honest Review.
A good place, I went for breakfast, for which they have a separate menu, ordered 2 servings of potato zraz, salad, pancake with jam. In general, I had a good breakfast, but there was no WiFi at all, there is no information about it anywhere, and the mobile Internet did not work in principle.

It's just a charming place. Quiet, calm and cozy. Polite staff. Excellent cuisine in the Belarusian style. The prices are just great. Olney is looking for the lowest in the city. There is alcohol of our own production. And of course, the signature dish is the knuckle. I advise everyone

We came to the cafe, took a table, and the menu was brought to us. We managed to attract attention for the order 15 minutes later, after the phrase addressed to the waitress "Girl, where should we move so that you notice us?". The main dishes - draniki and deruny were brought to us 50 minutes after the order and the next reminder.
That the interior (very dirty toilet), that the service, that the kind of food, that its quality is simply disgusting. Pickles look like this: a spoonful of dry sauerkraut, half of a crushed, "chewed" sour cucumber, one salted tomato and 3 cloves of garlic. It seems to me that this is a shame for the Belarusian cuisine…
Deruns are two raw potato tortillas, between which there is a biomass of unknown composition. Mushroom sauce on deruns looks like a stomach cleansing product. Thanks to the local chef, but we didn't try this top culinary art.
The pancakes that can be found in every cafe in Belarus look like cakes made by a child, all of different shapes and thicknesses, two of them were not fried.
They also took a soup - hodgepodge, except for the meat composition, salt was present in very large quantities. Therefore, it turned out to be impossible to eat. We bought into the high rating of this cafe, and ended up hungry with a spoiled mood and with the lack of a certain amount of money in our pocket. I don't advise anyone, even those who work there.
Cherry on the cake = beetle on cucumbers!
