Steak salad
Mary R.

I traditionally love tavern in the square (normally go to the Cranston location). I did think it was a little weird that the menu isn't the same at each location. I don't love it but I don't hate it. Service was great and food was delicious as expected. The portion of steak on the salad was a little smaller than I would have liked. Rosemary parm fries are very yummy. The Korean fried chicken sandwich is my new favorite!

Stopped in after a morning of shopping. I can't speak highly enough about my quinoa bowl. My friend had a chicken Caesar. We asked for some bread and received a delightful flatbread. Our server was friendly, albeit timid. My only issue was the bill wasn't split between our credit cards. Instead of just fixing and rerunning, she came over apologetically, requiring the friend to Venmo me half. Not a huge deal, but it was inconvenient. Anyhoo, LOVED my bowl. Next time I'd get salmon instead of chicken. It's large enough for two to share.

Broccoli
Nova L.

Food- for appetizers we ordered the broccoli very good!! Meals were very tasty i ordered the steak salad, the steak was a little over cooked then what I requested but the flavor was there, also got some sweet potato fries which were good. My friend ordered the steak burger which she enjoyed. For drinks I got the boss margarita which was tasty. Service - the service was okay not bad but not excellent [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance - very spacious with a lot of seating![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Black Friday shopping at Wrentham requires major sustenance Always a great time at Tavern in the Square. Although this was my first time visiting this location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location has a nice upbeat & welcoming vibe - clean, modern & lively.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Despite it being the Black Friday rush, our server was attentive and we were taken cared of. Eager to return to our regular scheduled programming/shopping...!! We each grabbed a different burger off the menu and it certainly did not disappoint. Both burgers were cooked to perfection & were absolutely delicious. It's a great spot to grab a meal after shopping at the outlets -- easy parking, fast service, and consistently great food. My reason for them missing out on that illusive 5th star... Now I completely understand restaurants have to manage the incoming traffic, table capacity & the kitchen being potentially backed up. However, they appeared to be fully staffed with an abundance of servers, at least two hostesses, two floor managers and a full kitchen firing on all cylinders. And yet, they had countless of free tables on the floor, servers simply standing around, but long wait times for over an hour to be seated.

None of the other menu items ordered were pictured.

I went to Tavern in the Square in Wrentham and the experience was very mixed. The bang bang broccoli was good, but the maple wings were bland and honestly not worth it. I was also really disappointed to learn that the menus are different from other Tavern locations. I go to Tavern often and I have never had that surprise before. What really threw me off was the host. A young brunette girl spoke to my family in such a rude way that I was shocked. It is not what you say but how you say it. She told us, "I need you to move somewhere else. I have to sit someone here," which was unnecessary. A simple, "We have a party we need to seat here, would you mind stepping over here while your group is being called," would have been more respectful. She could see and hear that we were unhappy with her tone and did not offer even a basic apology. We had already been waiting twenty five minutes and it just was not worth the argument. Our server was the one bright spot. She truly made up for the poor experience at the door and took great care of our group of eight. Between sub par food, a different menu, a great server, and a very unpleasant host experience, this lands at three stars. It honestly would have been two stars if the server had not been as good as she was. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, I told the same host the bathroom had barely any toilet paper and when I went back the second time...still no toilet paper.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were so hungry after the wait in line and food prep I would have probably drew back a nub if I tried taking food photos,lol. If you live in the south shore area, I suggest going to another Tavern location. Dedham and Braintree are much better options.

Nachos
Lucy C.

Food was good. We started off with nachos it was good. Daughter got Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese she loved it, big portion. I got the black and blue bacon burger with side salad, salad was huge. Burger was good, just wish there was more of the blue cheese. Also had a Wachuset blueberry beer that had fresh blue berries in it, loved it. Service was great even with how busy it was on a Tuesday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place has a sports bar vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Skinny margarita
Nicholas P.

Drinks was delicious skinny margarita simple, but hard to make my bartenders was awesome

Meatloaf
Robert S.

We had a good meal at Tavern in the Square. I got a few rewards in my mobile app account and that made me head over and get some food at Tavern in the Square. My husband got the meatloaf (a Winter special dish) and I got the honey salmon (sauce on the side). The meatloaf was delicious...hearty and savory not too salty. Loved the gravy that came with it. The salmon was very bland, so I had to pour some of the sauce on it and add some black pepper...that made it better. There was a lot of rice with the dish, which made me happy. Good food, excellent service.

Salad
Winter B.

Came here today for lunch and it was pretty good, the fish tacos were yummy and a great portion. My mom loved her salad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service, nice ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good option to stop at for food if you are at the outlets and want to sit down.

Kelly L.

Reliable American food and service! The drinks were honestly the best part and [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the atmosphere of the patio and the huge bar inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Medgy R.

Honestly, Tavern in the Square is good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After a long day of walking and shopping, it felt good to finally have a seat and eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As you can see by some of our meals, we couldn't be more excited wait to dive in (lol). My favorite was the fried pickles. Our waiter seemed to either be knew or just couldn't remember certain things however he was nice.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Loud- a lot going on here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice decor, Modern (slightly) rustic sheik.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was nice but not really on top of her game. Like my husband ordered his 2nd beer and waited a good while for that bottled Heineken. She said they had to go out back to grab it but she could have said that as we waited and I had to ask a second time for the drink. We were done with our meal and he halted to have a drink with his. I had the fish and chips. I am not such a fan of breadcrumb fish and chips. I want the batter and shoe string fries is not my ideal for this combo either. But I did like their tartar sauce. My husband had the Nashville hot and he said it was more sweet than anything and that's not his style. It was not a great visit for my husband as he ordered wings and they were sold out. This was sad as a Tavern is moving very close to our house... Kids meals were a good size and no complaints. (P.S. They do not have the good blue cheese.)

Bayou chicken pasta
Meg C.

Food exceeded my expectations, but service was slow, bare bones, and then rushed. The place was packed at 3pm on a Saturday and there was a small wait. They texted me when our table was ready. The space is quite large and extends into a pretty big patio, and we sat in a booth by the bathroom, which was convenient for my friend who had a 6 month baby in tow. Unfortunately it took the server 15 mins to come to our table, and she took our order, checked in on us when our meals were almost done and tried to take our plates twice before we were finished. I understand they have to turn the table, but I didn't appreciate being rushed. The food was better than we both expected - I had the bayou chicken pasta, and my friend had the BBQ pizza with dairy free cheese, and we both enjoyed our meals. The pasta portion was huge and I had plenty leftover for another meal. Overall the good was decent, and it was a nice break from shopping, but the service could have been better.

Found ourselves in Franklin in need of dinner and a beer and the shed checked the boxes. It's…read morelocated in a plaza with other restaurants and a supermarket so it was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. We walked in and were immediately greeted by a couple of chipper teenage hostesses and we were even able to pick our table. Our server seemed a little off at first but he warmed up after a little banter; perhaps he was just feeling us out. Beer menu was great but did not necessarily contain anything rare. I had a foam ipa and a stout from dorchester brewing to follow. I had the smash burger. It seemed like a true smash as it was crispy on the outside and had the right amount of grease. The house made chips were a nice addition as I'm not a huge French fry fan. My wife had the fig and prosciutto flatbread and she liked it. The fig paste was tasty, arugula was fresh and there was even some cheese pull. Overall, it was a nice visit and I wouldn't hesitate to go back based on how this visit went.

Overall, unimpressed. We ordered a chicken Cesar salad and the fig and prosciutto flatbread…read more The salad was cut too thin to not be able to be easily picked up with a fork, lacked flavor, and the grilled chicken seemed to be reheated and rubbery. The prosciutto and fig flatbread was decent but nothing to rave about. The hostess was bubbly and sweet, however the waiter seemed unimpressed himself. Wish we would have found something more hometown/ local spot.
