    This is a cool place to hang out and grab a quick meal, especially during the late night! Our server was helpful and pretty attentive. The menu is pretty small and what I ordered actually wasn't even on the menu so be sure to ask your server what items are available that aren't listed. The crispy chicken tenders certainly live up to the name. They have a great crunch to them and they are well seasoned and battered. The chicken tenders taste very homemade which I love! The mac and cheese wasn't bad but did have that slightly fake cheese flavor if you know what I mean. It's definitely creamy though. Not featured but we also had the empanadas. They weren't bad. Just ground beef on the inside and cheese. I would've liked for them to be a little cheesier but they were still good. I'd recommend!

    Fried chicken sandwich
    Lauren H.

    This is a little better than typical bar food but it's still bar food. The chicken sandwich was decent. The fries were my favorite part of the whole meal. Now let's get to the creamy caramelized onion dip. Have you ever tasted something and instantly knew it would make you sick? That's what happened here. Something was just really off with this dip and I can't put my finger on it. My husband also said it was very strange and that he wasn't going to continue eating it. The chips that come with it are pretty salty (I love salt) and break apart when you try to plunge them into the cold dip. That's right, the dip was cold. I don't know if it sat in the fridge too long and possibly expired... We didn't raise a fuss about it because it could have just been our tastebuds that set out a red alarm. The service was really slow. Mind you, the three gentleman that I saw working were all at the bar and serving those guests as well so they were busy. I get that. We did have to get up several times to go to the bar for service. No biggy, just a heads up if you go and experience the same thing.

    Love this park to walk, jog, run ....take your dog out or simple relax! Clean and great park that has many parts to it! Enjoy a nice trail and it's set up for so much more! Surrounded by restaurants and living ...this place rocks! Love a great concert here too and enjoy when the food trucks pull up!

    Brunch Burger.
    Jay M.

    I've been here a couple of times now. Once back in 01/21/2023 and more recently on 12/26/2023. The first time we had brunch and I had the Brunch Burger, Macaroni & Cheese, Buffalo Wings and Crispy Fries. The second time I had the Cuban (not pictured) and the Fried Cauliflower. Everything tasted pretty good. For those unaware, I would make sure you have plenty of time to wait for your food. On our first visit, the food didn't take as long to get out to us after ordering as it did the second time. That could be in part due to the timing: brunch after the holidays and dinner the night after Christmas. We weren't in too much of a hurry and just enjoyed the time spent with family so no big deal. But again, something to be aware of to avoid anyone turning into a Karen or Ken! So far the food hasn't disappointed so I will return again.

    Onion dip with house made potato chips. Loved the chips so much but they were too fragile for the thick dip.  (12/8/2022)

    We trekked over to Addison earlier this week to check out Vitruvian Park's Christmas lights (if you haven't seen them I highly recommend you go!) and decided to grab a bite to eat in the area as well. Of course, I used my trusted Yelp to help find a place and we ended up at Vitruvian Park Tavern. We aren't big drinkers so we bypassed the bar (where someone had an adorable and well behaved pup!) to the few tables in the back after asking and being directed that way. We sat for several minutes before being acknowledged, which was irritating, but a bartender eventually brought us water and said the menu was in their website if we wanted food. I get it, this is primarily a bar so I understand that food is secondary. That being said, the food was fantastic! It way surpassed my expectations! We started with the creamy onion dip and house made potato chips since that's not something you usually see on a menu. The problem with this dish was the chips and dip didn't work well together. The chips were amazing! They were waffle fries that were cut very very thin. It was almost as if you could bend them without them breaking, if that makes sense. I'd love to know how they are cut that way and what seasoning is used! I am by no means a potato chip connoisseur, but these are probably the best chips I've had. The dip was very good but really didn't have an onion flavor and was too thick to dip the thin potato chips. It came with a spoon so we used that but even then the thin chips broke when we added dip. Both great on their own, and I'd still absolutely order this as a starter again, but the execution could be improved. We both had the "Double Patty Tavern Burger with American Cheese, Burger Sauce, Pickle and Steamed Onions". The meat was wonderful and the cheese was gooey - what else is there to say but "Yum!!" I would order it without the pickles next time. I normally want extra pickles but these were like bread and butter pickles and I thought they were too sweet for this burger. Dill pickle chips would be awesome on this burger! Even with the few things I would like to see done differently, I don't consider them important enough to me that I am removing a star - I enjoyed the food that much! And maybe the Christmas lights in the park didn't hurt either! :)

    Adult coco! (peanut butter whiskey and spiced rum)
    Anthony D.

    Nice place to go get some drinks to warm up after taking photos in Vitruvian Park. They serve a nice "adult coco" of peanut butter whiskey and spiced rum which tastes delicious and is also not too strong. They are pretty quick with orders, my qualm is that we couldn't find any hand sanitizer inside the store and it didn't seem like they were appropriately implementing social distancing or occupancy limits. It was a good place to stop by since it was near the park, but otherwise, I don't think I'll be stopping by unless I'm in the neighborhood.

    Roasted Garlic Hummus
    Brittney T.

    Loved this spot! We went after our Sand Volleyball game and it was the first time for all of us. Our waiter Elijah was super dope! He gave great food and drink recommendations! Food was great and so were the drinks! We had wings, fries, the hummus and the beef empanadas. I personally had the hummus and fries which were great! I would definitely order both again! We will for sure be back after our next game! This might be our new little spot! Oh and I had a lemon drop drink with tequila that was super bomb! #tryit

    Stating it is a Bar and that there is no dine-in
    Ryan M.

    I have been to the tavern many times, and enjoy the food and drinks, however after stopping by today I will never return. First of all, this is essentially a bar and should be shut down right now as of Gov. Abbott's order. They clearly have found a way to get around this but still defy yet another order for the safety of their patrons by not wearing masks. Not a single employee is wearing a mask even though they are mandated to. It is as if they are trying to go against safety protocols. I am extremely disappointed. They clearly state on Google that they are a bar, and are NOT serving food. The ice house across the street has shut down and has a full menu of food, they will be getting my business after opening.

Overall, the experience was great. I loved that the chef and server took extra steps to ensure my son was safe.

While that as listed on their menu (which you have to read on your phone because they don't have paper menus), it's in such small print that it is illegible... unless you zoom in, at which point it is hardly legible because of the low resolution. Of course they add a tip for themselves... with cruddy service like they offered it's the only way they will get a tip! When I complained to a different waitress (because our waiter disappeared and was never seen again) she told me that if we complain then the manager would remove it. He came over, gave us excuses for the waiter (I told him to take his break because he had been working nonstop since morning) and he looked at the payment machine but did not remove the tip. I ended up just paying it because after seven minutes of his excuses and inactivity I was fed up, and will dispute the charge on my credit card. Managers should make things right, not excuses. In a restaurant where there are absolutely no other customers it is inexcusable to have lousy service. When I asked him for a business card he said there wasn't one. Oh... and they insist on a physical credit card, because (fill in his next feeble excuse) he told me if I didn't have my card then I could pay him to his personal Cash App account. I will never go back, and I will tell everyone I know to never go there. I am new to the area and could have been a repeat customer... NEVER AGAIN.

We initially received our drinks, but the person who took our drink order never came back. After waiting, one of us finally went to the hostess stand to ask if we actually had a server. There were SIX servers standing around, and the person who eventually became our waitress was on her cell phone. She finally came over, took our order, and our food eventually arrived. But what we witnessed while sitting there completely ruined the entire experience. We watched another waitress, who was serving the customers behind us, literally stick her bare hand into the ice container, take ice out and eat it, then wipe her hand on the back of her pants. She touched her face and played with her hair, then went BACK into the same ice container with her bare hand a second time. What made it even worse was watching her use that same ice to prepare a drink and SERVE IT TO A CUSTOMER. I cannot put into words how disgusting it was to watch. This goes far beyond slow or inattentive service. This raised serious concerns for us about sanitation and food handling. And yes, I have video of exactly what we witnessed. We came because of a recommendation. Unfortunately, after what we personally observed, I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone.
