    Had an excellent dinner at the fore tavern the other night! I made a reservation to be safe and when we walked in were seated fairly quickly. The place was busy with many gatherings and patrons. We tried the garlic dip which was delicious and had a main of chicken parm and boldness. All big portions and for a great price! Every dish was flavorful and had came out at a good time during the meal. I highly recommend this spot and look forward to trying their new restaurant opening in Medford square!

    My husband and myself have been to this restaurant before but we introduced this to friends this time. We had great meals and our server (Gianna- I hope I spelled her name correctly) did a wonderful job helping with food recommendations for our friends and was very cheerful and helpful to us. The food came to our table in a timely manner. The atmosphere was family friendly and comfortable with bar seating if you wish. There is outdoor seating as well but we chose to eat indoors on a rainy evening. There is parking available in a parking lot that is labeled for the restaurant but other spaces available if those spaces are taken. Good meals were enjoyed here and we will return again.

    We have been waiting to try The Ford Tavern. The Server was great! He checked in with us constantly Food however was nothing impressive. We both ordered burgers. I ordered the Tavern burger which was extremely bland. French fries were good, appetizers were good: Brussels sprouts and spinach dip.

    My husband I went to this establishment yesterday for the first time and we will sure to be back! We only got appetizers but they were delicious! The menu isn't huge, but if the food is good, that's all you need. The restaurant itself was extremely clean amd they had seating style for everyone, bar seating, high tops and low seating and the staff was wonderful! Would highly recommend and can't wait to go back to try more.

    Great Tavern in Medford- food was amazing- burger and chicken Alfredo. Server was very attentive and friendly. Prices normal for what you get- super cute inside and quiet. We are in from Texas- wish we had this in Houston!

    I've seen The Ford a bunch when going to Wegmans and finally decided to stop in and give it a try! The portions were MASSIVE, we got 3 meals out of them easy. The food was good too! I enjoyed the cajun chicken pasta. Service was quick and I liked the vibe of the restaurant. Will definitely be back!

    Great service and atmosphere. Delicious food, absolutely loved the French onion soup and Hot & Dirty Pizza. Great place, we'll definitely be back.

    Had a reservation, waitress seemed lost when I mentioned that which makes sense because a place like this doesn't need reservation. Came in around 1 on a Sunday. The service was one of the slowest I've received. The food was mediocre. I could make better French toast "sticks" at home (it's French toast cut into slices). The drinks were mediocre. Decorations are fine or whatever least of my concern with the service and food.

    Less than busy brunch though an 1.5 before our food arrived (semi warm). The menu is scarce and the service is at a snails pace

    This tiny place known for their namesake mini patty melts on homemade brioche has gotten bigger and…read moreexpanded the menu. But the beef is still the reason I come. Butter is collateral (and arterial) damage. -- Snappy Pattys: Thin patties of beef get griddled and placed between slices of bread no thicker than your finger and no wider than a KFC biscuit. You'll taste the condiment configuration of choice (I like the Texan for its zippy bacon-laced melted cheese), but you'll taste butter first and foremost, which can be daunting. The surfaces of the bread don't get much browning and the beef was less beefy and less seasoned than I remember from a few years back. Although these never blow me away, they're a nice little novelty that's always worth a taste. -- Patty Melt: The full size format offers a third of a pound of beef (looked thicker) between larger slices of the same type of bread. Not much outer texture or browning, but the interior was moist. Minimal beef flavor, with butter again on overdrive-- much too much of it-- but this time mitigated by the complementary flavors (according to the menu, roasted chili & bacon sauce, tomato, iceberg, blue cheese & avocado aioli). Still enjoyable, though the lack of browning (on bread and beef) and the veering of the ingredients from traditional (no caramelized onion, no rye) kept it from scratching that patty melt itch. Nice place, and I've enjoyed previous visits. And the fried chicken as well as the namesake mini melts. But the quest for the elusive killer patty melt continues.

    The service was solid and attentive with waters being filled throughout the meal…read more Lots of seating! I got the chicken and waffles. The breading was crunchy and good flavor. The chicken was very moist and tasty. The waffles are a little sweet for me, and a little clumpy consistency, but the chicken made up for it.

    We had an unexpected trip to the area that morning to visit a local store…read more When we were done, we noticed it was just about lunch time and decided to find a place to eat. There were many options to choose from but we do like to try places that are not always traditional. Hoping for a local favorite. Right on the corner, it is easy to find and with street parking easy to get to and enjoy a good meal and probably a late night gathering with friends. Rustic looking, it definitely put off the vibe of the local establishment for Arlington. We were the first customers that early afternoon. They were literally unlocking the doors when we arrived. The menu offered enough options to satisfy our dietary and personal preferences. Meats, chicken, fish and veggie options. You can find something. Staff was very friendly and attentive, but we were the only guest that early in the day. The crowd did pick up as we ate our meal. Large windows allowed you to sit and people watch on, what I would imagine is the Main Street for the town. It was Sunday so a little quiet so not a lot people watching today. Food was great and the presentation was a lot more than expected for a tavern. Full bar options and a good list of local craft beers. I love trying local beers when possible. A lot of space for seating during the day and I can only imagine the evening bar scene. Based on the number of people who did walk in while we were there to recover their credit card from the night before. Sounds weird but it totally gave off the local vibe. Love it. Very clean and tidy for a Tavern. Respectful place. Plenty of TVs to watch your favorite game so I enjoyed a chance to see one of the Sweet 16 games that day. So, if you are in town, give Town Tavern a visit.
