Scratched my burger craving with the steakhouse burger topped with mushrooms, cowboy butter, cheddar, arugula and garlic aioli. Added some caramelized onions and it was pretty tasty and surprisingly not too messy. The bun held up to the toppings and the burger was juicy. Fries left a bit to be desired, they were lukewarm. The strawberry spritz was refreshing and not too sweet. Our server was great and had impeccable timing. She acted quickly when I mentioned the onions were missing. Space was lively since it was Sunday night football. Overall pretty good tavern for some pub food. read more

Went on a one on one night with my son. Waitress was super friendly and patient with my guy (7 yo). Food was quick and hot. The tacos were great, and the rosemary fries were amazing! We splurged and had dessert. The chocolate mousse cake was HUGE! It was delicious and I'm glad we couldn't finish it because we were able to take it home for another day. read more

The service was both fast and great and nobody else at my table had problems with their food, however throughout my mac and cheese there was little pieces of uncooked pasta which was kind of unappetizing for me. other than that my food was delicious and all the staff here was very nice and accommodating. this restaurant has a perfect atmosphere for a late lunch! the lighting was dim but not too dim! overall i will likely return! read more

The burger with bacon and an egg on top is so good. I got broccoli instead of fries and paired with a glass of Chardonnay. What a great lunch - I'd go back for it again anytime. However, the garden salad was a disappointment. They tried hard - the ingredients are fresh, it is presented well, there's good variety, etc... I asked for blue cheese dressing, which was good. But, they added something to the salad that made each bite feel like I was chewing on gritty sand. I don't think it was chia seeds. I'm not sure, but I had to stop half way through. I was sick of crunching. Too bad since the rest of the salad was really good. read more

UPDATE: Love the ahi tuna bowl! We've eaten here a few times now and this has to be my favorite dish on the menu. The fish is so fresh and beautifully presented. The wait staff here are always so kind and we are always seated quickly. The menu is pretty set so it would be nice if there offer some specials every now and then. read more

Up in Boston for a few days staying across the street from here, we ended up going here 4 times. All the food was delish, service was excellent and the vibe was super cool. We sat on the rooftop 3 of the 4 times and it was lovely up there. Drinks and craft cocktails were on point. Great beer list on tap. Had the Korean chicken sandwich which was awesome, nachos were huge, and the tacos were delish. Really enjoyed the views up stairs. Definitely a good place to go. read more

I've been to a couple other locations that I prefer a little more. Things were a little slow to start and we arrived pretty late on a Monday. But we had a good time and enjoyed our food and drinks. I got an espresso martini, a spicy margarita and then a glass of Prosecco. The steak and cheese sandwich was decent, and the Mac and cheese was a generous serving. Our waitress was nice and checked in on us regularly. Holiday decor was still up so that was nice! The upstairs portion was closed- it would have been nice to see/be in that area. read more

I caught up with my high school best friend here last night and had a wonderful time. I got a marg and he got a beer, we shared the chicken tenders app and each got a burger. Great experience, delicious food, and awesome service. The place was beautiful and packed - clearly a great spot for people to gather. Would love to come back in the summer and see what it's like with the garage doors on a warm day! read more

Birthday arrival evening and found this place in what appears to be a shopping center. One of few places open late. Beautiful place, plenty of noise but still very private areas around the bar. They were short staffed so we were not greeted at door and we sat ourselves. We did have a 5 minute wait before our waiter came over. Despite that our waiter was very polite and friendly. The food was hot, delicious and pleasantly plated! Overall a good experience for my birthday read more

This was a pleasant surprise with good service, tasty food, allergy friendly, and decent atmosphere. We visited with some friends and had a good time. The Bayou chicken pasta bowl was very flavorful with a bit blackening on the chicken and Parmesan cream sauce. Highly recommended for people who like strong flavors. The Sweet and Spicy Thai Chicken salad was very generously portioned and really good. This location is in the Woburn Village Mall which is nice to explore and walk around. read more

A large group of us came on a Friday night for a special occasion and everything was good. We got the fried pickles, Yuzu Tuna Stack, and Sweet & Spicy Thai Chicken Salad. The food itself is decent, nothing amazing. The fried pickles were good. Someone got a pasta dish and it was not good. I would stick with traditional American/tavern food here. They do have vegetarian and gluten free options available. Service was good. Reservations are recommended for weekend evenings. This location has two levels and a rooftop. There are a ton of TVs so great for watching sports. It's located in the shopping center Woburn Village, so there is a parking lot but if it's a busy, you can be driving around a bit looking for a parking spot. read more

Came here with friends and it was a great environment! Friendly staff and decently good food with a large menu. The broccoli was a great starter and had lots of flavor, but we just wish it was a little crispier. Our entrees were all really good also, the burgers were delicious. The portions were large though and we all ended up taking half of our meals home. read more

Unfortunately did not had a good experience here. Bar staff was honestly disrespectful and rude, we were called out for being "over-served" yet they're the one serving the drinks. Came on a Saturday, was not what I was expecting at all. Had 3 beers over the course of two hours and was told we had to order over $20 of food so we "weren't breaking state laws." Sounds like they're just racking up the bill, ridiculous. Will not be back. read more

I believe most experiences I have at Tavern in the Square to be nice, cordial, and fun. This location was far from any of those things. The atmosphere of the restaurant seethes with the gentrification of the sub-area it is located in: Woburn Village. The area is a microcosm of white and glassy buildings that the wealthy seem to love despite it looking uninspired and boring. This location follows that trend with most of the walls being glass windows, wooden panels that make me feel like I'm in my basement but also somehow a wealthy version of it, and the very tacky overhead lights and sconces. It is the location least like others I have been to and it suffers because it does not feel like a tavern, pub, or any other similar word you'd like to use to describe it considering even just the look and decor is diametrically opposed to the target audiences that would be in a tavern: working-class people. Beyond this, how about the service? The red-headed waitress who was with us for this outing did all the things a waitress does, but in a snarky, almost angry way. From aggressively snagging the menus from my hands after ordering to throwing the check on the table- this was not exactly an ideal experience. I believe the most egregious thing of all is more of a general red flag for me: when the waitress for some reason can't even look at my partner at the table, let alone face her, we have a problem. I'm not sure exactly what the hangup was here, but it seemed there were hostile and uncaring undertones. This review only gets 2 stars because I know the chefs are at least trying. The Nashville chicken sandwich and buffalo mac and cheese were our choices today. How a mac and cheese dish is $23 I will never know. It probably has to do with this tendency to cater towards "avocado-ing" everything on the menu. I digress and I don't agree with it, but the chefs are good at what they do here. Mac could have been a little less watery, but overall a good meal. read more

I was visiting out of town and was amazed they had gluten free options. The food was so delicious and didn't even taste like it was gluten free. The chicken tenders were amazing and the pasta. I got a pizza and added tenders and it was the best. Loved every entree I got! read more

The food, service, ambience, and atmosphere was amazing at a private event that we went to recently on the rooftop. My only complaint is that management really really needs to consider installing ceiling fans under the bar portion of the rooftop bar. There was one super tiny fan hanging on the ceiling near where the food is kept during events to obviously keep the air circulating over there. However, installing some ceiling fans under the Bar portion is so necessary and would give so much needed relief to guests (and staff) on hot days during the summer months. read more

Great menu selection, very good and kind waiter. Food surprisingly good for a chain. Busy and loud but it was a Saturday.

On the way back from Montreal, I stopped for lunch at this Tavern in the Square location. I have been to several of their restaurants in the region before, so I knew about their menu and quality. Since I am part of their rewards program, I also had some "credits" in my account that I wanted to use. I arrived and got seated promptly. My server was very sweet and friendly. I got the Mediterranean Salmon, I asked for rice instead of couscous and my server, said, no problem. The food arrived timely and the salmon was cooked perfectly...I did not need to use a knife to cut the moist piece of salmon, my fork was all I needed to get into this beautifully cooked piece of fish. I had asked for the sauce on the side, so I was able to meter the amount of pesto sauce I layered on the salmon. Some fresh roasted vegetables complemented the plate, all done very nicely. The rice was perfectly cooked as well. A great meal at a restaurant with great menu choices and good prices. read more

This place is always busy. The plaza it's in is crazy so definitely leave yourself plenty of time to find parking. Even on a weekday for lunch the lot is often very busy. The restaurant can get very loud, but it is a fun place to sit and eat and catch a game if you want to. The food is better than your average bar food for sure. The quinoa and beet salad is really good. Mac and cheese was okay, but served lukewarm which wasn't ideal. The service is okay, definitely not super quick or attentive, but they're nice. read more

Service was Great Waitress was friendly and helpful. Just what I needed after the 6 hr. Drive. This area looks fairly new construction. I would consider it an upscale sports bar atmosphere. Looks like they have a Great Outdoor area as well. Food was great got a killer grilled chicken Caesar salad. read more

First time visiting Tavern in the Square. Located in a standalone building in a Mall parking lot. Popular tavern with multiple floors with large TV's to catch your favorite games. The menu is 1 page and offers something for everyone. All the food being served around us looked delicious My guest and I ordered two different burgers a Tavern Burger and a Blacken Bacon+ Blue Burger a couple of draft beers Burgers were fine $17-$18 I would try them again read more

Food and service are good. But they haven't figured out their temperature settings. There are no fans and the AC doesn't work on the whole outside portion because it's all windows and it's separate. The upstairs is also not air conditioned. Unfortunate for such a beautiful spot! read more

Tavern in the Square is the perfect place for a bite and drinks. Our favorites are their flavored chicken tenders, fried pickles, and Mac and cheese. Can't leave without having an espresso martini either. It's in a great location to bop through a few stores with friends after too! My friends and I have always had a great time here. Once we had tried to see if there was any space at the bar upstairs (with the great view for a summer night!!) but it was pretty busy. A manager saw us and realized there weren't enough seats together for us. He told us to hold on and he worked some magic! He cleared away some things and even carried an empty chair from the opposite end so we could sit up there. It was so nice and thoughtful when we easily could've sat downstairs. I always notice he's helping out his staff which doesn't go unnoticed. All our servers have been great- it's a great show of their service! read more

I really liked this location! The restaurant has a second floor with a rooftop which was perfect in the summer. Bar upstairs gave speakeasy vibes. Service is always great bartenders are super friendly and servers are always giving fats prompt service and I feel like there is always a manager on duty that comes in to check how drinks and food was right after first tastes which I thought was a very nice touch! My favorite app is the cornflake chicken tenders- I never had anything like it before. You can get them tossed in a sauce but I usually just eat them plain with honey mustard because they are so good. Drinks are always 10/100 mango chile margaritas and ruby Collin's are my go to always!! read more

First off, I usually don't eat at pub grub restaurants, but I was in the area and hungry so I gave it a try. I am not a burger and fries girl so I ordered the fish tacos. The tacos were accompanied by lukewarm black beans so I sent them back - red flag. Anyway, the bartender was very nice and ordered me a new cup of warm beans. The tortillas were corn when they are usually flour. I did not complain about this . However, the 3 fish tacos that they served were watery secondary to the topping placed on the taco. I didn't send these back because of this, I will not be returning to this restaurant. I did notice that many of the patrons ordered hamburgers that were huge along with a large helping of fries and chips. The ambiance was lacking. I think Tony C's has a better ambiance and the food is average there if pubs are your thing. read more

Great experience here! Went after the Kylie Minogue concert at the nearby TD Garden, and loved it here. Pretty lively and busy on a Wednesday night at 11 pm, but we were able to get a table and even order food minutes before the kitchen closed. Our server was sweet and handled the rush pretty good. The White Lotus drink was one of the best coctails I ever tried, the watermelon juice and other flavors mixed in so well! Feta drip was great too, 5/5 for this spot! read more

Useless inattentive staff. Wait for ages and find out my order wasn't even put in, server confirmed choice back to me. Was just incompetent

My cousin and I love to go to this location. From the menu to the staff, the service in the atmosphere it cannot be beat. We have become regulars because it's just such a simple decision to go there. I have gotten to know many of the staff over the years and we're always greeted with the warm smile and a friendly greeting. I especially like their Christmas tree this year. You can't go wrong with TITS also, check out the roof deck read more

I was in town visiting a friend so we met and stopped in there for a quick drink. We sat at the bar and my friend immediately said 'I don't want to sit here and want to sit at a table and get table service but only the bar was available so we sat at the bar. We both ordered a drink and after the 1st sip my friend said this drink was weak AF And hardly had alcohol in it. She finished it and ordered a different drink that she said that was only moderately better. It was the bartender- We had a young blonde girl bartender and since we were women, we received a crappy pour because she assumed we wouldn't tip well. Of course we asked the two guys sitting next to us and they said their drinks were strong. My friend called it from the minute we walked in. Totally unimpressed and won't be going back. read more

Service was fine. The food was overpriced and an assault to my tastebuds. Maybe it's on me for ordering chinese food at an establishment like this, but my god, do not order the general tso's chicken. They actually put coconut shavings in the rice... what... my appetizer dip was also overcooked and flavorless. AVOID! read more

Made an unplanned stop here for dinner and it was very solid!! Our server was lovely and very efficient and helpful.

I went here with some coworkers, it wouldn't have been my first choice. The atmosphere and decor is nice for a tavern. I was tempted to try the Nashville Hot sandwich and asked the server if it was good. He told me it was great, well it was not. I wouldn't even call this a Nashville Hot! It was barely spicy and didn't have the traditional vinegar flavor. It had more of a sweet Asian sauce. It was really disappointing. The sweet potato fries and beer were good. read more

Closer to 3 1/2 stars but they just opened so I rounded up. SERVICE: Josiahs took good care of us throughout our entire meal. He is pleasant and a bit soft spoken. As it got louder he was patient with us as we asked him to repeat himself a couple of times. FOOD: Stuffed jalapeño app is fresh and tasty with a bit of a bite. The flavors were well matched. The Belgian pretzels were soft, the sauce was tasty but could have been warmer as when it arrived there was a skim on the top. The burger is excellent, quality meat cooked to order. The sweet potato fries were tasty, crispy on the outside. The sesame salmon bowl arrives with the salmon cut up. It was cooked perfectly and the mango is a nice accompaniment. The rice and broccoli could have used some seasoning. BAR: The Sage advice cocktail was tasty, but for $12 was very skimpy in size, it was served in a tiny coupe glass. My light-on-everything-but-the-Tito's cosmo was well made, served in a standard martini glass, but had 1/2 inch space around the rim so for $12.50 was also skimpy. Charge an extra dollar and fill it to the rim without watering it down and it would be perfect. The Forever NE beer tasted like it had jalapeño in it. When we asked our server, he said the bartender said it should just have a floral taste. After some research, it appears the same glasses are used for bloody Mary's, which look to have a spicy rim. If that is the case then it was residue from a previous drink on the glass. Eew. I'd recommend the bartenders wipe down the glasses as they come out of the washer. I've seen other places do that and it seems like a good practice to ensure glasses are free of previous drink contents, lipstick, etc. ATMOSPHERE: The doors were open as it was beautiful day. They remained open for most of our meal, and as the sun went down it was quite chilly. It is also loud. VERY loud. We skipped dessert and went to Cafe Nero next door just to be able to have a conversation. Parking is an issue, but not just for Tavern in the Square. This is a cool, new, shopping and living area, however, not nearly enough parking. At 5PM we had to just keep driving around the lot until we spotted someone pulling out. Many, many cars were doing the same thing. So if you are not one of the fortunate ones who live close enough to walk, give yourself some extra time to find a parking spot. read more

This is a fun spot for groups - it does get quite loud downstairs so be ready for that! There is also a rooftop area that is lovely but doesn't have the ability to be open during rain because the walls are not solid. The food is good - basic American fare - their macaroni and cheese with chicken is quite tasty as our their appetizers. This is a great place to share meals and share plates with those with whom you dine! Reservations are accepted and I would highly recommend them because we came in on a Saturday at 4:00 pm and this spot was packed and parking was quite difficult!!! read more
