Amy is the best and I'm a regular because of her. All of the food excellent, but I have a suggestion when it comes to the full size pizza. It's ok to put some crisp and color on it! The past two times it's been pedestrian at best. With Fortunate Son across the way you gotta step it up! read more

Was there May 26...Amey is a very good bartender. I like the way she keeps an eye on the bar even when she is doing other chores. She is extremely customer oriented. read more

What I'm really here for are the all-day World Cup specials: chips and queso, $5 hot dogs, $10 wing baskets, and chicken strips. Pair that with the drink specials and you've got what I call a **DEAL**! Plus, the location couldn't be better--just a block from my favorite library. Grab a book, stop by, and enjoy the sweet deals. read more

We were here on Sunday for a late lunch around 3pm. Not many people, so I was worried about the food. Let's just say that's not an issue. The food was great and very nicely plated. We had flowers on our plates...fancy. Our server was also fantastic. Living in Plano we forget how close and nice downtown Garland is. We will be going back. read more

The food was very good but not a lot to choose from. We waited at least 15 minutes before a server came to our table. The atmosphere is a small bar. The menu we found online is from some years ago when this place was enjoyable. read more

Most of the items on line menu are no longer available. They are soon discontinuing everything but pizza and burgers. it's basically just a neighbor bar to hangout in if that's what you're looking for. Really nice waitresses. read more

A dump! Staff was saving seats for friends even though there was a line outside. Hot, filthy, unfriendly. Waited for 20+ minutes without a server. Will NEVER go back! read more

Tavern has great customer service. Ashley and Dorothy are 2 of the best, most hospitable and prompt bartendresses the town has to offer. With excellent food and a town home environment, this bar is the place to be. E.J. read more

Always have a good time. Great food. Dorothy is awesome. Vibe is very chill. Great local tavern to go to.

Let me start with OMG. I wasn't expecting much but dang was I surprised. The bartender Dorothy was busy but very attimate. Served with delicious drink very quickly, and ordered texas toast. I was skeptical at first because I make my own food at home... But thus reminded me of home! Love it and will definitely be back next week! Ps garland square is where it's at! read more

I enjoyed the service, the vibe was good, people were cool, the bar was nice and tidy. The drinks are good. Great place to eat, drink & chill. Dorothy, Ashley, Yami, Laura, Jeanie they are all good bartenders. I keep coming back because I like the bartenders, the food & the drinks. read more

We've been to the Tavern quite a few times over the years. Service is excellent, as is the food. We LOVE the chicken pot pie! Best ever and other options are well-liked, too. read more

This place is amazing, my partner and I come all the time! The brisket macaroni and cheese sandwich is one of the best meals I've had in ages, and the employees work really hard- which I really appreciate. If you're ever in the area, I can't recommend Tavern on the Square enough! read more

Great neighborhood restaurant. Wednesday night Music Bingo is a lot of fun and you can win gift cards and money? Chicken Pot Pie is one of my favorite GO-TO's. The chicken pot pie filling is flavorful and plenty. Add to that the flaky wonderful crust on top makes for an amazing meal (every time). read more

The Tavern on the Square was a great place for our Sunday brunch. Our waitress, Jeanie, was personable, fun and very efficient and made great recommendations. The owner, Alice, takes great pride in running a tight ship and putting customer satisfaction above all else. I had the 3 Egg Omelet and it was surprising uniquely tasteful and beautifully presented. We learned that the chef, John Johnston, has been there 20 years and has his own catering business. I was not surprised! Everything about our meals was tasteful and attractive. The Tavern itself has window views of the square and is right on the corner so you feel like you are in the heart of Garland in a very homey atmosphere. I have been there once before and enjoyed my second visit even more than the first. I highly recommend it! read more

Giving them a 1 star is pushing it!!!!!They advertised on Facebook about a Christmas Party-with free appetizers & drink specials-bring a gift for a child. We get there First of all 1 person, waiting on people and making the drinks for a Christmas party?? We go ahead and order food and a round of drinks. Drinks were terrible-yuck!! We get our food and mind you its way past the advertised time for the specials & appetizers. We asked where we put our gifts, she said ummmm Im not sure.... puzzled look on her face. Then we asked her about the drink specials, she proceeds to rattle off the happy hour special. We said no the Christmas party drink special & free appetizers you have advertised on facebook. Once again puzzled look on her face. She had no clue what we were talking about. She said I have not idea I was not told about that. What?? She said she would ask about that - So finally an hour later the owner finally strolls in. Waitress finally comes back and says they are waiting on some more people to get here they are on their way (obv owners friends) The group get there I assume and the appetizers come out. This is long long after advertised time. We have already had our food and 2 rounds of drinks. What a laugh its chips, some cheese, and maybe 1 other thing. Owner and her group of friends all did a free shot .... guess our money was not good enough for this place. Never saw another person with a gift!!!! Bottom line is if you are not in the owners click expect some shitty service! They have lost a group us-we will not be back !!!!!!!!! Their facebook advertising sucks or someone totally forgot they were having a Christmas party ! Would not be surprised it the doors are closed on this place soon with the kind of service they are throwing out there!! read more

Great food! Great people! And a great place to hangout and meet new friends. Try the bacon wrapped peppers

I love this bar! And restaurant! There is something for everyone! all ages! The food is prime and the staff is always attentive and friendly! Ashley was awesome today during the lunch shift! read more

A great restaurant/bar with emphasis on the restaurant because we are in a pandemic and bars are still ordered to be closed. In addition to great food and a great atmosphere, Tavern on the Square is home to awesome live entertainment, including open mic comedy. It was one of the three filming locations for my recent documentary. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/toUqWBDza1c read more

We decided to try this for the first time for lunch. I heard people saying they had great food. Our waitress staff was very friendly. The restaurant was clean. I'm not sure on the bathrooms. I didn't go that far. They have a lot of options like other restaurants but enough. We got the for dip appetizer. The dips were good but not great. I felt like they needed more seasoning or just some salt and pepper. The salsa was kind of bland and the guacamole so fresh looking. I did love their chips and the black bean dip though. My husband got his burger first and enjoyed it. I had to wait on my food a little bit longer. I got a margarita, pizza and a side of fries. fries were actually pretty tasty and warm. The margarita pizza had a beautiful presentation which I loved. The pizza was OK. I felt it was lacking in flavor. Tomatoes didn't seem very fresh and the cheese didn't really taste like anything. I think there is room for improvement and it could be become a great little spot. I was just disappointed since it was kind of an early lunch for anniversary tomorrow. read more

Nice place tucked in downtown Garland. Great food and great service! Dorothy is always amazing!

It was our first time visiting Tavern On The Square on Tuesday. The bartender was very nice and the food was delicious! 10/10 would recommend. The mozzarella sticks only come with 3 but they are huge! ** Also, the menu on yelp is not current! I know for sure they no longer offer the sliders, I'm not sure what else has changed! read more

Service was great. Catfish, however, was not good. Like tasted off. Did not eat. Brought the issue to staff but still got charged. I want to support this place but they make it very hard. read more

I've enjoyed every item I've had if you're looking for a great burger and fries it's here! Chicken pot pie yep it's here!

First time here. We planned to eat at Intrinsic but the line to order was almost halfway to the door. We did go back to hear the Karaoke as that was our original plan for dining and entertainment. Walked in to Tavern and no one was at the door to greet or seat us, so I walked up to the bar & told the bartender we were first timers. She sat us and was our server. Place was packed and staff, including our server doubling as a bartender, seemed overwhelmed, assumed short-staffed. Food was good size portions at reasonable prices. Reason for the 3-star is lack of service when we entered and because a guest was vaping at the bar, and no one seemed to care or notice. White male, ball cap, shorts, white athletic shoes, mid to late 40s or 50's. With so many options for food in Garland, we probably won't be back. read more

Relaxed local bar with great eats and good service! They even support the community and local Girl Scouts!

Ambiance was great, they played a lot of Spanish music!! Drinks were 10/10 !! Just hoped they'd stayed open for longer!! especially on Fridays & Saturdays they kicked us out by midnight on a Friday night read more

Fun little neighborhood bar! Downtown Garland doesn't have a ton of options but if you're there, check this place out. Small hole in the wall that the locals love! They have decent food, great service and a DJ on the weekends. Only negative is that it closes way too early for a bar! read more
