Ernie & Annie’s Tavern

great for a quick lunch! Tacos and burgers are wonderfully delicious!

Unilocalers-​I made my first trip to Granite City and for what? A delicious Margarita and some fun with friends!
Ernie and Annie’s was definitely an experience for me. On a Saturday afternoon I was invited to take a little trip to Granite City. Since I had never been before I couldn’t resist. The menu is not a great reason to visit for someone who doesn’t eat tacos; however, when I found out they had margarita’s I knew I’d have a good time.
Upon arriving I noticed how much of a «hole in the wall bar» this really was. It is located in a random neighborhood and I think it was the only bar around for miles. In fact, I think it might be the only bar in GC! The inside does not allow smoking which was pretty great for me. There are some pictures on the walls and they do have a few tv’s to show games if needed. By the looks of this place I assume it has been around for quite some time. It has a good vibe to it though. I’m sure I’ll go back next time I get invited. They have a small kitchen in the back, a mid sized bar, and restrooms are located down the hall.
When we arrived we were able to find a table that had room for all 6 of us. An order was placed for the guys to eat some tacos and then the bartender began working on my margarita with a salted rim. The service was pretty great and my drink was perfectly mixed. I even had another once the first was gone.
By the time the tacos arrived the guys were pretty hungry and 30 tacos seemed to disappear pretty fast; but before they could dig in I requested to take a photo so that I could document the amount of tacos! I mean, I have never in my life seen that many tacos on one plate before. Crazy! They even provided some pico de gallo for dipping. By the sounds of the tacos were enjoyed by all. I asked for reviews and they were all in agreement that these were some pretty great tacos!
Overall, this was a pretty fun trip. The guys enjoyed their tacos, I enjoyed my margarita, and we all enjoyed the company! This is a fun spot and I can tell that a lot of regulars go here. The servers all knew their customers and it seems like a pretty great bar if you are ever in the area!
