    Great service and systems in place. Ticket times were short. Well run restaurant with well trained staff. Food was prepared to perfection, served at the right temperature. Great dependable dining option

    I have to say I love this restaurant ! I normally go to the location in Cranston. I'm beyond excited that they have expanded and opened in different areas. Tonight was my first time trying this location , food was excellent as always. My only real complaint was my martini wasn't really filled to the top. I feel like I got shorted on my drink.

    Went for dinner on a busy Saturday! Our waitress was friendly and attentive! The wait for drinks was long! Our apps came at the same time as our first drink! The apps were good and everyone liked their meals! The vibe was loud and happening! It's fun and lively! We will definitely be back!

    General Tso's Chicken

    This is another great location of Tavern in the Square. It's always busy here so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation but I had no trouble finding a time that worked for me. We were say immediately and our waitress, Kaylee, came out promptly. She was very sweet and made sure we had a pleasant experience the whole time we were at the restaurant. I had the general tso's chicken which was perfectly crunchy and a little spicy. I've always enjoyed the bang bang broccoli and this was no different tonight either. I would have preferred my rice to be a little bit more coconutty but it was also very good overall. If you like Tavern in the Square I can definitely recommend this location!

    Greek salad  Sweet potato fries  Honey siracha wings sauce Tuscan pizza
    Nova L.

    Food - Yummy!!! We got the Tuscan pizza which is a summer special 10/10, honey siracha wings they weren't cooked to my request but the sauce was really good, Greek salad 10/10 flavorful and so many different things in the salad which I love, sweet potato were fries good Drink - I got the The Solstice it was very good, their drinks are crafted they are not going to get you buzzed though truthfully my friend had the rose sangria it was good but not strong Service - 9/10 good service, nice & informative Ambiance - love the outdoor patio & the open windows such a summer vibe!! The space inside is really big huge bar, which is great because we got seated right away and they were busy!! I want to give a special shout out to the kitchen staff & cooks, the food was presented well and the service was quick even with the amount of guest that were present, I was very impressed and I'll be back!

    My meal! Salmon well done. Quinoa bowl, fried pickles and white sangria!
    Andrea R.

    This is my spot! I love the pickle chips and quinoa salmon bowl for take out. They are always accommodating to my substitutes and always get my order correct. The wait time is very reasonable to run quick errands in the area, or wait with a drink at the bar. It's a sports bar ambiance that has outdoor seating. It's great in the summer.

    The food was good not great my salmon was a little undercooked for my liking. The dumplings and pretzels very good. My daughter and her friend enjoyed their selections. The service was great helpful and friendly. The vibe is typical sports bar/restaurant. I will be back to try some of other selections.

    Mushroom pizza
    Candice S.

    I really wish this place had more vegetarian and pescatarian options. It felt a bit challenging to find an interesting option if you didn't eat meat. The bang bang cauliflower was super crispy and not too sweet. The whipped feta has this berry jelly on it that makes the dish a bit too sweet for me, I miss the old recipe for this dish. The mushroom pizza was really nice!

    Sweet Thai chicken salad.

    Busy Saturday night but we found a seat at their huge bar. Bartenders were great. Ordered the sweet Thai chicken salad.. it was amazing!! I want to go back and get it again..

    I must say overall that this experience was a little underwhelming and overpriced. Decent Food but not Great and in my opinion, overpriced. The interior decor is the highlight of the experience

    mango margarita & talk tiki to me
    Amanda L.

    I enjoy Tavern in the Square. Ive been to their locations in Allston and Cranston and enjoyed the food and vibes. Fiance and I came here on a Friday night. Place was PACKED! Parking was not hard to find considering the plaza they're situated in, majority of businesses were either already closed or close to being closed as it was 7 PM. We put our name down for a table of 2 and it was about a 45 min wait, however, it was only a 15 minute wait. For drinks, I ordered the mango margarita and fiance ordered the talk tiki to me. Came out pretty quick, about 5 minutes or so. we placed our food orders, he got the buffalo chicken and bacon mac and cheese and i ordered the tavern burger with bacon and a side of sweet potato fries. our waitress was extremely attentive and so sweet. will definitely be back!

    Salted Carmel hard cold brew !
    Shannon Y.

    Stopped here while car shopping. Went on yelp to find a small business to enjoy a nice lunch. This place came in first for a rating . Loved the space , the drinks were great! Had an amazing hard salted caramel iced coffee! Bartenders super friendly. We order the nachos. Which were very tasty! I ordered the fish tacos and my husband had a salad with steak. I gave this place three stars because the food wasn't great. My fish tacos were cooked well , had a great salsa on them and truly needed some kind of sauce on them. The steak on my husbands salad was chewy, flank streak not marinated to give it better taste and tenderness. Disappointed as the charm is there, the bar is awesome.. food? Average...

    Crispy brussels sprouts
    Seth B.

    **Tavern on the Square:** The atmosphere is cool, spacious, and rustic, creating a pleasant dining experience. The layout is well-organized, making it comfortable to enjoy the surroundings. Our waitress, Liza, was friendly and attentive, enhancing our visit. My wife started with a pear martini, and I opted for a classic Diet Coke. For an appetizer, I chose the crispy Brussels sprouts, for us to share which were outstanding--definitely a 10 out of 10! We decided to share an order of chicken wings along with the steak and avocado salad. The wings were cooked to perfection with an extra crispy exterior, which we appreciated. We sampled the honey sriracha sauce but found it wasn't to our taste. You can't go wrong with the blue cheese and buffalo sauce- delicious! The salad was delicious and well-prepared. The staff thoughtfully split it into two smaller bowls for easy sharing. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rare and was accompanied by a fresh mix of lettuce, black beans, corn, turkey, tomatoes, and avocado. The jalapeño lime ranch dressing added a delightful flavor to the dish- not spicy at all. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely return. My only suggestion for improvement would be to adjust the air conditioning; we had to ask to move from our booth to a table, and I still found it quite chilly, which led me to wear my hoodie throughout the meal.

After doing some research, we came across chick'n boba, a new restaurant in town. The parking lot can fit about 15-20 cars (I am not sure if it is a shared lot with surrounding businesses), but there is also street parking. There are about 3 tables, and some high chairs facing outside for seating. The menu has about 12 different meals, appetizers, and about 12 different boba / tea options - with almost everything being under $12. Since they're still new, they did have some deals. We ordered 2 small taro milk tea with tapioca, 2 spicy chicken sandwiches, and fries, all for $24. After about 10-15 minutes we got our order. All of it was nice and hot. I liked that they wrap their sandwiches half way so you can hold it. I noticed the cheese on the chicken sandwich was not melted, and it had jalapeños to make it spicy. It would have been better if the cheese was melted and if the jalapeños were infused into the sauce. I wish there was more of the sauce it did have because it was delicious. The bun was nice and soft, and the chicken was perfectly crispy and moist. The fries were delicious and had just the right amount of salt. I did not realize until after that they have sauces on the menu (I would have ordered some for the fries). I have never liked tapioca but these were so good. They were soft and actually had a good flavor. I am used to tough and flavorless. The taro was sweet but not anything overwhelming. I would definitely come back for more.

The…read moreset up of the restaurant was a little confusing to navigate but I'm sure on the weekends they get packed and all the spaces get filled up pretty quickly. We ordered a Backyard Platter to share as well as an order of the Pit Mac And Cheese. The Backyard Platter was insane. $67.50. 1/2 lb smoked brisket. 3/4 lb smoked pork. 1 lb hot honey chicken. 4 smoked chourico. 4 pieces of cornbread. and pickles, slaw, and bbq sauces. The meats were delicious. and those bbq sauces! So good! I definitely wish they gave more cornbread, cause you would think with all the food in this order, they would be full pieces of cornbread, but in actuality they were like half pieces of cornbread. so we felt a little shorted there unfortunately considering the cornbread was really delicious. i just wish there was more. Definitely a shared meal, and definitely on the pricier side. The pit mac and cheese was a miss for us. $16.50. we didn't add any toppings to it since the backyard platter was more than enough and sadly, for the price, we were let down. It felt overpriced for what was presented considering the dish itself was shallow and there wasn't anything that stood out. I would've easily paid maybe $9 for that but not $16.50. it felt more like what their $6 side dish would be in truth. Overall, i'm glad we finally stopped by as it's around the corner for us and we had been meaning to try their food. I would definitely come back and try something else next time!

    I was researching some places that had sandwiches for lunch today and I'm thrilled I came across…read morethis place and was able to give it a try! Parking is tough but you should be able to find street parking without a long walk. I knew the restaurant was small and was worried we'd have trouble finding a seat because of that. However, we were the only customers in there for a solid 10 minutes when we first arrived. The restaurant itself was adorable! Small but nicely decorated and furnished. I appreciated the stars on the ceiling. The staff were friendly and gave us as much time as we needed with the menu before we ordered at the counter. I had the chicken empanadas and the shrimp poboy. The food came out quickly and was piping hot and fresh. The empanadas were excellent. Great flavor and tasted high quality. I found them to be a little oily but that wasn't anything a napkin couldn't fix. The shrimp was cooked well and I liked the sauce it came with. Their bread was also super soft and tasted freshly baked. Definitely something I'd consider ordering again! Overall, I'd definitely come back to the White Owl and would love to check out more things on the menu.

    White Owl in Providence is such a solid neighborhood spot…read more Cool, casual vibe with a modern feel, and the menu has a fun mix of comfort food and creative dishes.

Service has been friendly and the atmosphere on Hope Street makes it feel like a go-to local hangout. Overall, really glad this place is around -- I'd definitely recommend White Owl if you're in the area.

    Everyone needs to try Honeybird atleast once in their life. The place is absolutely incredible…read more I've been twice now and both times have blow me away. The restaurant itself is pretty small but decorated beautifully. I'd recommend calling ahead for dinner and arriving early for lunch. I went today for my second time and arrived at 12:30 with no trouble finding a table. Our waitress was attentive but not overbearing and answered every question we had about the menu. It's predominantly fried chicken but there are some small bites you can order as well. The main menu has a variety of chicken, flavor, and sauce options to choose from. Today I opted for the plain blue plate with the Honeybird sauce. My sides were the dill pickle potato salad and grits. In the past I've had the pimento Mac and cheese and creamed corn as well. The chicken was perfectly crunchy and large- these are some big birds they're cooking. The grits had a perfect flavor and were nice and cheesy. The potato salad was also a stand out with the creamy potatoes and sharpness from the pickles. Everyone who came with me today enjoyed their meals and their food has been consistently great. My arteries may not be happy with me but I highly recommend this cheat day meal!

    Disclaimer: I don't eat chicken so no comment on that but others in our party did like the chicken…read morevery much. As a non-chicken eater, I ordered salad, hush puppies and the catfish sliders. I was also excited that they had a number of local beers on draft. The salad was pretty average and underwhelming. The hush puppies were also just okay. The catfish sliders were the tastiest of the three but I did find a small piece of bone in one. We chose this restaurant because it was close to an event we were attending later in the evening. Since the chicken was well received, I might come back with other chicken enthusiasts, but unlikely I'd check back here myself. Service was pretty speedy but although we requested separate checks at the start of the meal we still got a combined check and had to ask again for the split. Ambience is nice with a bit of a bistro flair and cute chicken themes. The process of making a reservation here is awkward. You have to request the reservation and then they email you later to confirm it. Would be much more convenient if they did Open Table or Resy. Limited parking too. Their lot is small and we had to park on a side road, which was not a big deal as the road seems to be in an industrial area and was not busy.
