Even with the positive reviews here on Yelp, I was surprised (in a good way) at our experience…read morehere. Walking past historical markers for Confederate "heroes" and knowing the history of the city conveyed a sense that Tarboro's best days are behind it. If all of Tarboro can be as good as On the Square, it's got a lot to look forward to. My wife and I received a friendly welcome as we came through the door for our early-ish evening reservation (and got the Blue Hair Special seat next to the post in the middle of the back dining room - oh, well). Service from the start and through the meal was attentive but not bothersome. I began with the Classic Daiquiri, which was wonderfully tart rather than cloyingly sweet. Sandy had a Bees Knees as a mocktail and was charged an appropriately low price for what is basically club soda with some juice and honey syrup (for price gouging on this, I'm looking at you MACHETE). Brussels sprouts, Atlantic cod, and petit filet were all well-prepared and delicious -- and modestly priced for the quality. If I am ever in the area again, I will certainly and happily go back.
