It's a mix of what you want and want you need..... Not many specials but but at least it's only $4,50!!! read more

While the food was okay the bar tender spent most of his time hitting on my wife. LOL he's a putz! Spend your money at another bar this place is the pits! read more

Kayla is so fun, down to earth and knows the community vibe. Drinks are reasonable, food was just appetizer but can't wait to come back on Taco Tuesdays! read more

Had heard good things about this place, decided to finally give it a try. Definitely gives a tavern kind of feel, darker, cool interior, big variety of music playing, not ostentatious at all. Our server was just the right amount of attentive and friendly. We got the chips with beefy queso, very good, added bonus of warm chips. Then, the big item, the charcuterie platter. Holy moly, generous does not do it justice (maybe my picture does). Points for presentation, size, and quality. We couldn't come close to finishing it after the chips and queso, and when we asked for a to-go container, our server brought us two, one for the crackers, one for the cheeses (nice touch!) The menu has a lot of variety to it, and based on this first experience, I'm looking forward to going back and trying more! read more

Tavern On The Square - Charcuterie platter. All very good! Could probably split with 3-4 people to be honest. - Bars Near Me - Garland, Texas

Good food but bothered me that the Mayo stays out on the tables along with the mustard, ketchup, salt and pepper. Clearly states on bottle refrigerate after opening and our table it had definitely been opened. I worried about the Mayo on my BLT read more

the bartender was very short when my friend and I went for our first time. we ordered the 4 dip special or something with Salsa, Guacamole, Black beans, Brisket queso..... there was THE LONGEST STRAIGHT HAIR in our queso!!!! we finally were able to flag the bartender down after she hadn't checked on us since she brought the tray out, meanwhile the bar was half full but overall not very many people. she really didn't say anything whenever she came and we explained to her nicely what was going on. she simply took everything and never came back to let us know anything. we sat there for over 10 minutes waiting for some kind of response before ultimately leaving enough money on the table for the total bill and even a tip for her so she still had something rather than nothing. The only good thing out of the experience was the DJ, definitely safe to say that we will not be coming back. read more

Tavern On The Square - Black and Bleu Burger with sweet potato fries! - Bars Near Me - Garland, Texas

Small and cozy the food is very good - unexpected given bar-like atmosphere. Eaten here more than 5 times and always great. Friendly professional staff and right in the heart of downtown. A sure plus for the neighborhood. Go - you will not regret and tell Felicia Marc sent you! read more

On a Saturday with events going on downtown, they had exactly one bartender/waitress. We came in and there were four people at the bar, and seven people sitting at various tables. Two couples came in after us. Despite acknowledging us, the waitress served the couples first (we were three women, so she couldn't flirt with us). They received their food in fairly short order, maybe 15-20 minutes after walking through the door. It took us an hour. The most complicated meal we ordered was the bacon wrapped chicken skewers. The food was okay (when I ordered my meal, I asked if there was cheese on it. She snatched the menu out of my hand and said she'd make sure to add it to the order without verifying it was what I wanted. I was just asking a question!). Final point, do not order a soda. The machine has no carbonation and the drinks are just syrup mixed with water. She did not charge us for them, which was appreciated. Also, perhaps due to the staffing shortage, a lot of the meals came out wrong and had to be sent back. Not a confidence booster. read more

So we only came here once when it was the Fare Fair on the Square thing with the fair foods in September, and we've been meaning to come back ever since, but we always forget lol, some really friendly people there and some amazing food read more

After hearing about this place I finally checked it out. I got the Italian sandwich with their homemade chips. Delicious! The sweet bartender Libby suggested the French onion dip for the chips and she was right. But she made my visit even more enjoyable. Definitely will be back to see her. read more

Service is a joke. I've tried repeatedly and it's always the same. They act like they're doing you a favor waiting on you. If you sit anywhere other than the bar, expect delays. It's a shame. read more

Food: Great! Service: Spotty. Not sure that I have seen the same server here more than twice. Today we had a bad experience. Came in at 12:10 for lunch. Placed our order-nothing over the top. Lunch did not come to our table until 12:55. Other patrons received their food much faster - 10-15 min. Not sure of the problem. read more

The classic chicken salad on croissant was exactly what I wanted. Quick service and a pretty clean bar. The sandwich was served with crinkle cut fries so if, like me, you are not a fan I recommend trying a different side. read more

Tavern on the Square is comfortable - it's the perfect neighborhood place. Food was good, service was extremely friendly, and the price was just about right. As a first time diner, I felt like I had walked into and episode of Cheers. Bar seating was packed with interesting conversations. I instantly felt at home. If this place were closer to home it would likely be my go-to option. read more

Welcoming atmosphere. There seemed to be only one woman working the bar and tables (it's a smaller place) at first, but she did a great job of making sure everyone was taken care of. I ordered a burger, and it was really good. Our table also got the charcuterie board. It was a cute Texas shaped board with a great variety of meats and cheeses. read more

What a treat! Casual vibe with amazing food. Gorgeous presentation. Can't wait to return!

Came in and just got eyed at, 5mins sitting down no service. Felt pretty unwanted at the place and I don't understand why because we just sat ourselves down and waited. read more

Our first experience at Tavern on the Square and we will definitely be back! The chauterie board stands up to any I have ever had. Such an assortment and loved the flower and touch of rosemary sprigs. I had shrimp, sausage and grits which were outstanding. My husband had salisberry steak. He commented how everything was so fresh and well prepared. I so enjoyed how food was plated with attention to details!! Prices were very reasonable. Service was great. Jessica was friendly and tended to our every want. We could take our time and visit with friends. Haven't been to Garland Square in a while and wow there were things happening. Even cornhole boards on the grass. Give this place a try-- you won't be disappointed! read more

Been here once or twice . First for a birthday (amazing) last time was for day drinking and Kayla was a great server! Good drinks and good times man. read more

Average at best. Had the Morning Burger - cooked to my liking - taste was good. Appetizer of chicken BBQ skewers was fair - chicken with bacon and a little bbq sauce - that's it. Wait staff was ok - credit card machine wasn't working. read more

The food is great and the people are friendly.we had the blue burgers and the Italian sandwich. Not many employees, but it's a small place. Great atmosphere. read more

Great atmosphere, bar tender is awesome. Food is delicious. Glad we found this place.

This is a gem on the downtown square. The food is always good and attractively presented. We tried the small charcuterie board last night and it was big it ended up being dinner for both of us! Service was good too. A very pleasant evening. read more

Went there on a whim while riding around on a Saturday afternoon. Met Jennifer, the bartender and she was very friendly and sweet. You could tell she knew what she was doing. Service was great. The other customers that came in seemed to be regulars and were just as friendly. We liked it a lot and will definitely be back!! read more

I have had many good experiences here! Always good food and friendly service and a little more upscale than some others in the area. Have been telling everyone to check out the great little restaurant on the square in downtown Garland. Most recently had a very good chicken pot pie; so big shared with my friend. Which makes me suggest: why not serve a smaller pot pie with a small salad? I'd be all for that! read more

Just moved to Garland and checked this place out. Very friendly service and it just had this really comfortable vibe to it. Ya know? Like one of those places to be your default bar. Didn't try the food, but that will be soon. read more
