So my wife and I left our son's football game at Framingham State and we headed toward the highway keeping our eyes open for a decent looking eating establishment that wasn't a national chain. We stood in the vestibule waiting to be seated and a house fly landed on my leg. Should have known right there! Yuck... Well the service from our two day newbie waiter was fine and the food was reasonably good. Granted the food tasted good but mostly all the items tasted the same as they were all overwhelmed with the same seasoning. Throughout our meal we had to shoo away house flies which kept trying to land on our drinks and food. That was gross. I had to use the restroom, it was only 4 pm and it really needed a cleaning. Seems to me the place needs a management intervention. read more

Tonight was our second try. The place was nearly empty. The food was acceptable but nothing exceptional. Again, the server was inattentive and even a bit forgetful. We like our local Ashland Ale House and will choose that I er Morse in the future. read more

Worst meal ever. Nice staff . Never will go there again. Have been patrons for years. Very disappointing experience

Morse Tavern has a nice neighborhood vibe to it. They offer a dining room and big bar with plenty of TVs to watch the games. We ate at the bar to watch the football game. The bartender was friendly and the food was good. Morse Tavern has a good amount of parking as well. read more

The food was very mid, nice vibe, and quick service. Would recommend burger. It's not bad food at all, and had nice location right near slugs. Good after day of skiing read more

Soup was full of hairs. Waiter took it and ran when I asked him what it was. He told me it was "a crack in the cheese" until I told him I had a photo of it. I don't ever leave reviews but I feel like it's necessary for this one. read more

Arrived at noon and door was still locked (they open at 11 am) had to call restaurant to have them unlock the door. Ordered a beer and was informed bartender was more than an hour late to work and waitress had to call the manager. We order wings and the ribs. Wings were ok. The ribs were so tough I literally couldn't separate them with a steak knife and couldn't t get the meat off the bone. We left at this point and management took the ribs off the bill. It's a shame as it's a cute location it just seems like ownership is not very involved. read more

Went in on a snowy day after a girls "hike" at elms bank. Bartender "bob" Starbucks name was phenomenal! Made our girls stop memorable. Glad we stopped enjoyed a beverage (or two) will be back!! read more

Lindsay the bartender has me coming back here on Wednesdays, I live right down the street and love coming to see her because she is so fun warm and welcoming and makes a mean drink! I really come here for the homemade daily soup special to eat but on Mondays they have a great five dollar burger special, always cooked perfectly! Sean works on Mondays behind the bar and treats all his patrons really well and is very good at his job. read more

Morse Tavern - Enjoying a nice drink made by Lindsay the bartender! - Irish Near Me - Natick, Massachusetts

Service is solid. The bartender serve a quality IPA(Fiddlehead), ambiance is reasonably relaxed, chili and tortilla chips is a reasonable value. Screens are tuned to appropriate athletic events, and staff is generally friendly and engaging. If you are high end and uptight, MT is not for you. If you are looking for a solid outing, it's worthy of your consideration. read more

Ribs were like leather, steak was ok. Sweet potato fries were great! Mt friend got the chowder, it had done weird squishy vegetable in it, she wasn't a fan. Two people got the broiled seafood, and neither of them liked it. A weird flavor in the butter, couldn't put their finger on it. Also the scallops were very chewy. We won't be coming back. read more

2.5 stars:( gosh.. i really wanted to give this local establishment a higher rating. i loved the pizza! 5 stars for that. but... every single employee was so grouchy. no greeting. no smiles. no nothing. it smelled musty . i was shocked at how good the pizza was. fresh tasty broccoli, excellent cheese... fresh onions and the dough was sooo good. if you are the owner reading this... you should get some "fresh blood" behind the bar. bars are suppose to be fun. turn up the music. smile. engage your beer drinking locals and (visitors) im glad the people we were meeting were fun. sorry if our laughter was annoying. now you can get back to your funeral as one other reviewer mentioned. the only excitement we got was when they were closing and walked us all to the door to turn on the closed sign. lol . i would get a "to go" order only if i wanted pizza. read more

I ordered a cheeseburger with bacon. I received a cheeseburger with fried fat. That's right - just fried bacon fat. The ketchup was watered down. Gross. read more

The food was ok. I ordered sandwich and I can make it at home for a lower cost and tastes better.

Ate here for the first time tonight. Was a little nervous after seeing the reviews, but tbh I was happily surprised. Food was excellent, as was the service. I had the bourbon steak tips (rare) and my boyfriend had the buffalo wrap. I'm a *very* discerning diner, so trust me when I say the food was quality. We'll be back! read more

Morse Tavern - Bourbon steak tips! - Irish Near Me - Natick, Massachusetts

Such a wonderful location and such negative management. The staff is wonderful but the owner is combative and verbally abusive to his staff and customers. He is incapable of having a civil conversation....justs screams at everyone and threatens to call the police. It's a shame. I will not enable his abuse by going there. It's time for him to move on. Me and my money cannot support such a socially inept management. Really deserves zero stars. read more

Horrible food. They were friendly enough, but my boyfriend's drink was lousy. I just felt bad for the family next to us. They were there before us, and they didn't get their food till we paid our bill. They won't see us again. Sorry guys, you must do better! read more

I have to say that I really like the Morse Tavern! I typically go there for a quick dinner at the bar. They have great food! The burgers are great! Varied menu. Pub style interior. Shepards pie was excellent! The bartender is always friendly! read more

Quick stop for a pint while waiting to meet up with friends for dinner, Morse has a reasonable selection of draft and bottled beers. I found something tasty that I'd not had before and so I sat in their bar area at a hightop for an hour enjoying that. Several exposed power outlets and the bar area wasn't loud as the televisions turned to sports channels were muted. The beer was cold, the chair was comfy and the wifi worked well.

Morse Tavern - Dining area - Irish Near Me - Natick, Massachusetts

I have usually had ok wings and an ok burger here, but the last 2 times have been really rough, so I can't see us going back. Last night, our server just...forgot about us. Drinks were slow and when it was time to pack our food, she disappeared. We finally asked the host to help and he told us she was having issues with the manager. He brought boxes and when she finally appeared with the check, it wasn't itemized and she said she vanished b/c was "busy doing paperwork in the back." It was also quite warm in the restaurant, which made it uncomfortable. There aren't a lot of options for casual dining in Natick center, but this one isn't likely to make the cut anymore. I hope we get some new options with the mixed space buildings going up in the area. read more

Recently had a bad experience here. Ordered a chicken salad sandwich. Surprise, they have raised their prices 33% from the last time I was there. When I went to pick it up, I got a snippy lecture from the woman working in the front about this not being normally on the menu. So I am thinking why didn't you tell me that when I ordered it on the phone 20 minutes ago. But then I was assured it was my lucky day low and behold and I was going to be the lucky owner of a chicken salad sandwich because it happened to be their special of the day. But then a dark cloud appeared above the dark fortress that is the Tavern de Morse and the two women working there warned me not to expect chicken salad sandwich to be on the menu again. Oh no! Shame on me. The sandwich was brought out in a styrofoam box that almost fell apart when I opened it. The chicken was old and dry and had a fishy taste to it. Too bad! I used to love their burgers and pub food and band nights. No more. read more

Food was great! Unfortunately we had a server on the lunch shift that was into anything but serving ! Had to wait a half hour for COLD TEA. I had to ask her to nike it...asked for lemon ,she never remembered. The lunch took 40 min to serve. No water for me and my guest who ordered a coffee. It took OVER 49 MIN for our credit card to be picked up. One of my party had to search the bar AND back room in order to get service!. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Bartender refused to take my order for at least 20 minutes as retribution against my friend for a kerfuffle that had happened before I arrived. (Friend had unwittingly violated an unwritten rule by moving from a table to the bar without first closing out his tab.) Professional service? Nope!! read more

I saw a band last night in Waltham . I know the guys in band . He told me that the owner didn't pay them and said take it out with drinks . So the bar tab came to 300.00 , which is below what they paid, and the bartender I can't do that . He called and was swearing and said he never they drink for their time . This place is no place to go when the owner treats people this way. read more

Great wings, burgers and good ol pub food. Lots of TVs and seating in bar area. Good selection of beer on tap.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Tavern panini was to die for and I definitely will be coming back!

I came here with my family for a late lunch. It is a cozy tavern and restaurant, frequented mainly by locals. We were greeted warmly by the server working and we ordered our food and drinks. The food is basic pub food, burgers, pizzas, sandwiches, etc. Several of us got burgers and fries, some got pizza and the food checked the box pretty well. It was good and what got what we ordered. We were not blown away, but were not let down either. Although we did not see our server much, we never waited to long to get a drink refilled or get more silverware, etc. Overall it was a good experience. read more

I was going to the Morse Tavern for 6 or more years. The owners are extremely rude and yell at their customers in front of other customers. I know I have been one of there victims. They can't keep help, because of their vicious way of treating their employees. Very nasty people and the environment is very hostile. read more

Had burger specials on Monday night Sept 4. Burgers, fries and salad were great. Wife ordered red wine which was served in a glass that could not have held more than 3.5 ounces ($8.00). Don't know if wine serving always so small or just with specials on Monday nights. Wine nit worth the $8. read more

Music was good. Decent atmosphere. Gluten free options are close to non-existent. Service was average.

My Dad and I had an absolutely terrible experience at this restaurant. Not only was the manager incredibly rude and unprofessional, but she also refused to allow me to bring in outside food despite my medical condition. As someone with celiac disease, I have been advised by my doctors not to eat in restaurants due to the risk of cross-contamination. However, when I attempted to explain my situation to the manager, she was completely dismissive and refused to accommodate me in any way. Until now I've never been to a restaurant who's been anything but welcome to the idea of bringing in food. I simply carry in a plain turkey sandwich made myself, Boar's Head turkey on Schär gluten free bread, 100% gluten free. Normally I ask if they mind, I eat my own food, elsewhere the answer is always, absolutely. Not at Morse Tavern, here it was a big problem, one she could offer no solution. I asked the manager to call the owner, requesting if it would be at all possible to allow my normal routine. She called and after a minute came back denying my accommodation request. She said the strict policy was due to Natick having an no outside food law from the local board of health. Wondering if this was true, I called the Natick health department. They said no such town bylaw exists. She also used the excuse "it could be contaminated". Next, I asked about gluten free options on the menu. She suggested their salad with salmon. I asked, "how is it cooked, in a pan or open grill?" She replied with an attitude "I don't understand why have to be so mean to me" and stormed off to the kitchen. Clearly her response indicated a complete lack of understanding of the situation. I always ask questions to gauge my confidence in their ability to produce a safe meal. As the grill is contaminated and off limits to celiacs. Every bite I eat must be strictly monitored, no exceptions. As eating even a gram of gluten would result in permanent damage to my digestive system and take up to a month to heal. Why should I take this risk? If she can't effectively understand my needs and communicate how can this manager communicate my needs to the kitchen. At that point we decided to leave after a two-minute unnecessarily stress filled visit. After a two-hour drive to get there, this completely ruined my day off from work. My Dad is also disabled and relies on a scooter, it takes ten minutes to get him and the scooter in or out of the car. We had to cancel our lunch with our friend as unfortunately Natick has very limited lunch options. Thus, all that work to get in the door wasted by the manager's lack of thought and inability to listen. We were shocked and disappointed since at any other restaurant they are accommodating. How dare this restaurant owner and manager dictate what I should eat without having a proper two-way conversation about the allergy precautions and cooking methods used. Especially given I had an ideal 100% safe gluten free lunch sitting in a cooler in the car. Living in a world filled with wheat is hard enough. Social events are stressful for people with celiac disease and made exponentially more difficult with uncooperative and inconsiderate management not willing to adapt. It is truly unacceptable for a restaurant to have such a callous attitude towards customers with medical needs. I would strongly advise anyone with dietary restrictions or medical conditions to steer clear of this establishment. The management is completely intolerant and unhelpful, and their disregard for customer health and safety is truly disturbing. Save yourself the trouble and find somewhere else to eat. read more

The food is not very good and the prices are high for the quality. The owner treats the staff like dirt and can't keep any staff because of it. read more

Where to even begin. Absolutely devoid of charm, color, warmth, service, wit, ambience, good cheer.... Went in last week against my better judgement because there's nothing else open around here, and must have waited for five minutes while the bartender concocted some absurd libation consisting of multiple Red Bull shots for some slob at the end of the bar; looked around at a bunch of sullen tradesmen staring into their beers, a bank of tvs tuned to obligatory sports channels, the fake ferns, shitty sheet rock walls and weird small-town apocrypha adorning the place and decided I'd stumbled into some version of hell. Fuck this place. No, really, fuck this place. read more

Service and food is always top notch. Entertainment is amazing. Great place to meet friends, offers a little if everything

We came here last year for Easter dinner and I must say last year was outstanding compared to this Easter. The food this Easter was awful.,There were 3 of us having Easter dinner and we all agreed that the food this year was sub par to last year.The omelots had no taste and were over cooked,same as the roast beef,The scrambled eggs were watery .the bacon was full of grease.and we never saw one person come out and replenish the buffet with fresh food. The young man we had as our waiter was excellent .We will not be coming here anytime soon.It was not worth the 110.00 total bill. read more

I love the environment and the food was great. Our server was great and unfortunately she was the only one and had alot of tables to cover, but when I asked for anything she quickly took care of our needs!!! Perfect place to watch Sunday football and have a beer and food! The 2 1/2 stars in my opinion if unfair and I hope you will give this place a chance!! read more

This place has been very hit or miss for me. That being said, It is the only if it's kind on this side of Natick. They did recently get the liquor licenses for outside and are renovating the bar area, so I'm hoping that improves it. They have a wide selection of beer on tap, but the gods very inconsistent read more

Great bar with great music. Food is horrible. Clam chowder is tasteless and texture is similar to Elmer's glue. Get a real chef! Everything tastes like it is not fresh, but frozen and thrown into a fryer. Any of the reviews of this restaurant that rate the food as excellent, do not have a palate or are missing taste buds. read more
