Dirty silverware
Cori F.

This has a lot of options and many seats. I'd recommend a reservation if possible but the wait isn't usually too bad if you walk in. There's lots of TVs with sports on and it's quite loud. When they first opened the food was really good, but it's gone downhill some since then. Last time we went the silverware was dirty and the food was just okay. We had to ask a second time for some of our drinks. The chicken sandwich lacked flavor. All of the sauce seemed to be absorbed into the bun and a bit soggy rather than flavorful. We may go here again as an easy dinner with the kids, but it definitely won't be top of list.

Sweet and spicy Thai chicken salad
Diane C.

1st time patron .... For an appetizer we had the crispy Brussel sprouts ... 10 out of 10!! I ordered the sweet and spicy Thai chicken salad. It was really good minus the pita chips (if that's what they were). My boyfriend enjoyed the quesadillas, but not so much the wings. The beer on top could have been colder... was ok! I ordered the caramel espresso martini. I took one sip and had to send it back, it was awful. The ambience is nice , the Christmas tree was a nice touch. There are many TVs for the sports enthusiasts and lots of seating. We will definitely be going back.

A great experience. Good food and staff. Very loud inside, almost too loud to fully enjoy it, but it goes with the territory in an environment like this.

Sirloin Steak Tips* **
Mary R.

Soooo good!!!! I've only ordered the steak tips from here and continue to order the steak tips bc of how amazing they are. They have gluten free options as well for my people with allergies. The chicken fingers were great. On Veterans Day they offer a great discount for veterans!

It was we three on a sunny afternoon at Tavern in the Square. A huge bar, one of the largest I've ever seen is in the middle of this restaurant with a plethora of surrounding TVs. If you come here, try the garlic fries they're outstanding. If you're not into carbs, try the fried pickles. Everyone's sandwiches were well-made just like the service.

Chicken Tenders**
Grace P.

I consider it crazy that tavern is open on day 1 post blizzard! Poor bartender :( Despite that, I am glad to have consumed another delicious order of cornflake tenders.

I'll never understand the low ratings for this place because every time we go it's phenomenal. From the hostess to the service and of course the food! Went on. Saturday for lunch and ordered the Brunch Bowl from their menu. I can't say enough about the quality and taste of this bowl. Our waitress was stellar. Drink order taken immediately, plate of lemons for our drinks, refills before we even asked. I will choose this place every time there is one where I am. Give it a try for yourself!

Steak  Avocado salad
Robert S.

Recently I had their steak and avocado salad. I've had this dish here for a while now...and a few changes have occurred. They used to give you half of an avocado with the salad, this time, the slices of avocado were tiny. The steak was a bit tough but nicely charred on the outside. The veggies, beans and lettuce were all fresh. My server was very smiley and sweet. One thing that I would like for the restaurant to change is the flow of water in the restroom sinks. The water comes as a tiny weak spray and it takes a long time to get hands properly washed...I am all for environmental choices, but the water flow is just below standard. A bit of an inconvenience.

Quinoa bowl
Kim S.

They have a wide variety on the menu, something for everyone. We love the bang bang broccoli. My daughter loves the macaroni and cheese and my son enjoyed his burger. My husband had the quinoa which was good too. The service was good. It was busy so there was a wait for a table.

Guava Be Kiddin'

What I order was not what I expected. I had order steak tips. I can barely chew them or cut through them I was only able to have one piece. I will never order it again. Our waiter was the best ever. The place is very laid back. Nice and comfy.

Italian old fashioned
Yamel F.

Awesome eatery!! My husband and I love a sports bar that is food focused as well!! The menu offers something for everyone, and on a cold day I had an amazing chicken pot pie, a great whipped feta with pita starter, a pretty well seasoned ceasar salad (albeit heavily dressed). The service was fabulous, Mark was great!! My in-laws, husband and I will absolutely be back!! Also the greeter girls were so sweet, welcoming and efficient!!

Take it slow with General Tso.

Everything has some sort of sugar on it. Not a great choice for diabetics. Our server was excellent. The prices were a little jacked.

We stopped into Sports & Leisure for RI Food Fights Best Burger and it absolutely lived up to the…read morehype. What a fun spot. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and after a coffee run nearby, we decided we needed a snack. We walked in not even knowing what games were on and the place was packed, always a good sign. We grabbed a couple seats at the corner of the bar and were greeted right away. All three women behind the bar were personable, friendly and on top of everything, which made the experience even better. We started with spicy coconut margaritas which were so good, then split a cheeseburger and sweet potato fries. I had mine as a lettuce wrap and it was flavorful, juicy and delicious. The fries were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Great energy, friendly service and a really solid burger. I will definitely be back soon to try more of the menu.

I've come here many times, but visited most recently for the RI Food Fights Big Burger Blowout. Our…read morewaitress was incredibly sweet and attentive. We got a few apps including the Brussel sprouts (amazing and big portion ) and the southwest egg rolls (also very good, smaller portion). We got the pizza of the day which was a chicken vodka ... wasn't that great, to be honest... but we asked for more sauce and they gave us some and it helped a bit. The smash burger was classic and I got mine lettuce wrapped instead of a bun, which was nice! Music was loud, but that is expected.
