The restaurant had opened for brunch several minutes prior to my arrival. The bar was still being prepared for the brunch crowd. Because the weather was cooperative, the windows of the enclosed patio and the bar were opened. Diners were able to sit at the bar in the patio area. The bar was initially staffed by a single bartender. Not only did she introduce herself, she also asked for my name. As I needed a menu, she asked the host for a stack for myself and other diners. A second employee, not as friendly, arrived sometime later to assist setting up the bar. There were some minor inconveniences arriving this early. Because I was the first to require a refill, the bartender had to get a coffee pot from the kitchen. Afterwards, she kept the pot at the bar. I decided on the Breakfast Egg Rolls. Not sure how something tagged "new" can be a house specialty. The breakfast jam lacked flavor. The egg rolls were saved due to the taste of the fried wontons. Of the two sauces, the maple syrup was better than the spicy hollandaise. The hollandaise lacked both heat and spiciness. When I was served coffee, I was not provided either cream nor sweeteners. As I did not notice any nearby, rather than wait to have the her return to the kitchen, I decided to give it a sip. Surprisingly, the coffee tasted great. It was neither acidic nor had a bitter aftertaste. read more

My past experiences have been way different and better! They used to have a great happy hour, so thats why we went back.... The happy hour now is pure shit!! We got the tro, with mozzarella sticks, pretzel bites, and Asian roll! Nothing was hot just like they picked it out of a heat lamp buffet! Applebees probably could've done better especially for the price point! My ice tea was gross and asked for a water instead... then when it came to the bill I had to go through an act of congress just to get the charge removed! This place used to be great... I don't know what happened! I haven't even mentioned the service which was beyond pathetic! read more

Menu's good, craft beer selection is good and they do some seasonal cocktails which are also good. Staff is always friendly but sometimes a bit slow as the patio (dog friendly) gets busy around happy hour and weekends. Plenty of seating, TVs with an in/outdoor bar for watching a game and they've got shades for the patio. The bathroom situation isn't ideal, only two single room bathrooms but otherwise I'd say for a gastropub, this one checks all the boxes for the area. Worth a visit. read more

Service we arrived at 8:00 pm, we wanted to sit inside due to the 100pm temp., waitress at first said no room for the two of us. She then went and checked and a table opened up. Ask for the waitress named Annabella W. She was attentive, friendly and helpful! We ordered the sweet potato appetizer - it came quickly, not over cooked. I loved the pumpkin dipping sauce! We ordered the 10oz, ribeye, it was great, asparagus was good (not overcooked) and the mash potatoes were ok. We spilt the cheese cake - it was also good. Prices were reasonable. All in, we liked the place! read more

The Tavern has always been my place to go when is late and there no other place open close to home, is out neighborhood beloved place to hang out with friends and family. Everything is good and feels right at home. I do have a feedback.. in the past there were 2 or 3 television casting 80s videos which was very appealing to people like me that don't care about sports. So, while hubby is watching game I was entertained with the videos. Where are they ??? recently they don't put videos anymore.. right now more that 3 TVs are casting exactly the same . Lame . Please bring the videos back again! read more

This is an indoor/outdoor restaurant. This can make the environment loud and bugs pop in. The restaurant did everything they could to minimize the bug issue with table fans, but I have a hard time with flies. The food was pretty good and the portions were large, but I wouldn't visit again in the summer. This would probably be a much better visit in the fall and winter when the bugs have calmed down. Our server was phenomenal and did her best to make our experience great! read more

Such a beautiful day to sit out on the patio for lunch! Both of the people who waited on us were fantastic; they had great recommendations and checked in on us multiple times. The drink selection was also great. The strawberry pineapple margarita was strong and refreshing, and the adult capri sun tasted exactly like someone who ordered that drink would want it to taste (my husband). He followed up his drink with a beer because if you're over the age of 25 I wouldn't recommend 2 adult capris suns! Lastly, the food was great. Our waitress suggested the spinach artichoke dip for our starter and she was spot on! Can't wait to come back here, it's the perfect place to relax after a morning out on north shore trail. read more

KICKED OUT ME AND OUR BABY !!! we called beforehand and asked over the phone if they could handle a stroller. They said yes.... Then we show up and they tell us it's a fire hazard and we have to leave with the baby. Terrible service. Just fucking tell us over the phone next time so we don't waste our time. Run From this place. read more

I love this little part of town, and the restaurant inside is nice, and menu offers lots of tavern-like options. we came for lunch and it took about 5 mins for us to even be acknowledged at the "hostess stand" when we were seated we were greeted by an unenthusiastic waitress. The 3 of us ordered the buffalo chicken mac and cheese and the plate of "choose your own" 4 appetizer plate. The mac and cheese sauce was pretty loose and not very cheesy, The buffalo chicken was mostly breading. The 4 apps came out med-warm and I didn't love much there either. we got the Southwest eggrolls, the fried Jalapeños (maybe the best of the lot), some soggy sweet potato fries and the same over-breads buffalo chicken wings. Maybe the thing to get here is a burger or the fish and chips...people seemed to be enjoying those around us. read more

Bartender was good and checked up on us for drinks. Food was terrible!! *Smashbuger was cooked well done and very charred! *Tavern wings came out cold. I ask one of the girl servers that brought our food out, if I can get a napkin, she responds "sorry we are very busy". This place of business is a joke! read more

Stopped in for a beer with my wife. Paid $11 for an Elysian Space Dust! Seriously? How ridiculous! We also go to watch flies walk all over the salt that they rim glasses and dump out a whole bottle of fresh squeezed juice out because a fly got in the bottle. Yuck! read more

Food feels expensive for what it is. Two of our four meals tasted like they were microwaved bar food. Salad ingredients were stale. Our server Carter was told. For six years they have had an out of date menu on their website. Example, online it says chicken fried steak is on the menu. It isn't and hasn't been for 6 years. How much effort does it take to maintain up to date information on your website. For drinks and watching sports this place will be ok, but after given it a 2nd try multiple years apart, we won't be back. Wish them luck. read more

The tavern is one of the most inviting and warm atmospheres you can find in the DFW area! Mini and Charlotte are attentive, kind and absolutely stunning. Rather you want a burger or an ice cold beer, the tavern is the place to be! read more

Greasy food. Mediocre quality, especially any beef or chicken. Cheesy, divorcee atmosphere

Nice ambiance and bar & grill vibe, but food is hit or miss. I've been here 4 times and no consistency on food at all. read more

I came here for a work lunch, had no idea the are this place is on existed. It is a really cool area and The Tavern fits right into the area... I will give this place a 5 on atmosphere. They have done a great job bringing in the tavern feel and ambiance. The place has a really nice vibe. The service was really good. Our waiter was was attentive without being obtrusive. He checked in regularly and got us everything we needed. Our food came out in reasonable time and was fresh and hot. I ordered the Lemon Pepper Chicken. It came with mixed veggies and mashed potatoes. The chicken was good but the lemon was a bit overpowering in some bites. The veggies were seasoned with lemon pepper as well, and that was a little too much. Mashed potatoes rocked. Fun place, I will be back! read more

This location is awesome, we began our dinner with a drink or two outside while we waited for a table. If we had a smaller party, I would have loved to have our entire meal outside. Not only was the weather perfect, but the ambiance and server were great, too. It was a perfect start to our dinner. Once we moved inside, we still had a very positive experience. The best part was the team of servers that we had to ensure our party was well taken care of and there was no issue. It was great to see everyone work together so easily. The drink menu is a bit small, but the options were very nice and had something for everyone. The food isn't quite as good as I had hoped - everyone said their dish was okay, unfortunately nothing was a standout. The mac-and-cheese was probably the best, collectively. There was a full meal buffalo mac that looked (and tasted) very good, too. Definitely avoid the Pad Thai - it tastes bad..and looks worse. read more

I have only been to The Tavern at Lakeside a couple of times. Sunday Brunch was very nice. We had 8 people and service was perfect. Lately, when I go to restaurants with groups of people the bills are always messed up. Our waitress had all of our bills separate and correct before we even asked if we could get separate checks. I had a pineapple mimosa and the chicken biscuit. My next visit was a girls night on a Tuesday. 50% off signature entrees is pretty nice on Tuesdays. I had the Redfish which was delicious! There is a nice selection of wine and beer along with a full bar and signature cocktails. It's definitely a spot that I want to continue to go to, because of the large variety of food choices, great service and location. Both times the restaurant was crowded, especially Tuesday night when there was a full restaurant inside and out. It has a party atmosphere. read more

Awesome place to hangout and watch sports! Lots of TV's so that you don't miss anything. Amazing food and cool staff.

Come for the burgers! The burgers consistently get rave reviews and have been called the best burger you can get in Flower Mound at a restaurant (Flurry's is a strong contestant for during the day burger grabs). Come for the service! I had an issue with my tuna being "off" (think, tasted like licking the inside of a dirty aquarium) and the server took care of it immediately and was super empathetic. Then, after ordering my replacement meal (cup of tortilla soup), they brought a bowl instead - and when reminded, they were apologetic and took care of that, too. The tortilla soup was good and brothy, just like I like it, with cubes of tender chicken and a few slices of avocado. (No tortilla strips, though? Maybe they were broken up in the soup and too soft/small for me to notice?) What I can't recommend (at this time) is the tuna atop the salad (pictured). The salad underneath it though? DELICIOUS. I hope it was a one-off bad piece of tuna I experienced though! The place was really lively for a Wednesday night at 9:30. It was loud and we could barely hear each other, but there aren't many later meal options in Flower Mound, so beggars can't be choosers? read more

My family and I used to go to this restaurant all the time the food was always good and there was always something on the menu for everyone. I'm not sure what happened but over the last year they removed some of the best things from the menu of the food qualities gone down and after many bad experiences, we just don't go here anymore. I hope they find a new chef and bring the place back to life. read more

Such a disappointment!!! Been coming here since they opened but it has gone down hill in recent months! Food is mid at best. Service no longer exists! Bartenders and waitstaff have way more fun chatting at the bar than working.

Solid food and service. Usually has availability. Casual and homey. Food has always been good.

Beautiful sunny day here enjoying the patio, good food and great company! The food was outstanding. I had the jalapeño, honey butter chicken sandwich-I could only eat half but took the other half home for later. It was sooo good! A friend got the scotch egg and loved it. Can't recall our third dish, but the service was great, the food was so good and I want to come again next time I'm in town! Oh and we got dessert too! It was delicious as well!! read more

very average food and drinks in my opinion. Ordered the garlic parm wings which lead to stomach issues for the whole table m all of next day. service wasn't great, had to go to the host stand to ask for plates & our server was nice but didn't check on us as much as we would have liked since we ran low on water a lot on the patio. wasn't the worst but wasn't the best. prob won't be coming back. read more

Stopped mid afternoon for drinks and appetizers. They have some interesting happy hour choices. We ate it side and enjoyed the atmosphere. Peeked inside and the place looked cool. We had some beers and the brisket fries and southwest egg rolls. Beer was cold and good list. The egg rolls were served with a southwest sauce and a Korean style sauce. The egg rolls were nice and crisp with no grease you get with some egg rolls . Would get them every time I visit- quite good. Fries were solid good, with nice chunks of brisket. read more
