    Sesame chicken chopped salad
    Steven B.

    The sesame chicken salad came out with a stunning presentation! The fixins inside were fresh and made a complete salad. The chicken was crispy, which I love! There were just some pieces that didn't really have chicken, it was just a crispy shell. The bartender came out and was very attentive and matched my vibe. By the time someone brought out the salad, I didn't see them again before asking for the check. All was well and good, successful lunch.

    I often meet up with a friend for a meal at the halfway point for us which is Burlington. I'd dined her before but it had been a year or so- new place for my dining partner. We shared a delicious pretzel with beer cheese sauce and some sliced apple. I had fish and chips (huge fish) and she had the Korean crispy chicken. I think everything used a cornflake crust with different flavors. Large servings. We both enjoyed our meals. Our server was friendly and attentive- change the channel on a nearby TV so we could watch the Sox. Lots of surface parking but still a bit hard to find a spot. Comfy atmosphere. We'd definitely return to try some other items- and brunch. Brunch ended at 230pm on Sat so we just missed it. Many GF items marked on the menu- and Kitchen is nut free.

    This was really yummy!! Loved the nachos but I wish there was a bit more cheese. The rosemary fries were also amazing. And the peppermint mocha martini was also great. Good for a late night meal.

    Quinoa bowl with salmon

    Never a miss at TITS! What an incredible menu they have. Plenty of options for everyone. I had a hard time choosing what to get myself. I ended up ordering a quinoa bowl with salmon which was insanely good. Highly recommend the salmon as an add on, which was cooked to perfection. I came here with a large group for lunch on a weekday. The service was great, and our food was prepared relatively quickly. Already looking forward to coming back!

    Lots of parking, walked in with no reservations and was seated within 15 minutes. Great place to meet up with friends, watch the game, casual dinner or after dinner drinks. Server took our order and brought drinks quickly. Food was served hot and dishes we ordered were spot on. Conveniently located near the mall, you can't miss it.

    Korean crispy chicken sandwich
    Barry L.

    This was my second time visiting this local chain With lots of new chicken franchises popping up everywhere chicken was on my mind. On this visit I ordered the Korean crispy chicken sandwich with Rosemary Parmesan french fries. All I can say is this sandwich was five times better than any other chicken sandwich out there The sandwich must' have weighed a pound. It was that heavy. I ate half of it , took the rest home The french fries came in a large bowl. I thought they charge me for a side order, but they didn't that's just the way they give fries. I think it was way too many fries yet. I appreciate it. The value $18 for the sandwich and fries was incredible. The roll was delicious. The maple dressing that they use in the sandwich was incredible and the pickles inside the sandwich were dynamite. I can't say enough about the sandwich. It was big, it was hefty. It was way too much. I'm not complaining. It was a fantastic value my guest ordered the steak tips $29 another guest ordered the fish and chips $24 And my other guest ordered a salmon bowl$25 portions were. Excellent and everybody enjoyed. We did have to wait about a half an hour to be seated, which did go by quickly. It was a Saturday night and the place was packed. Definitely check out the Korean crispy chicken sandwich. I think you'll be amazed. I can't wait to go back it was that good?

    Great spot to watch hockey, basketball or football. I ordered the burger with sweet potato fries and it was great, hit the spot. But I have to say the service was outstanding. Billy at the bar provided great service and very knowledgeable about local beers. I loved that it was open late when most other places close at 9:00PM. I will make it a point to stop by the next time I am in town.

    Caesar salad (side portion)
    Jay B.

    To the average Millennial and/or Zoomer, retirement can seem like a distant, unattainable concept to most. Yet on this mostly cloudy New England day, I found myself attending a celebratory retirement dinner for a dear coworker whom I hold tremendous professional respect for. Hence, he chose Tavern in the Square as his outgoing request. Knowing this, I wanted to believe there must be some special sentiment regarding either their cuisine selection, drinks, service, or combination of the three. What I was met with instead was....a sublime mediocrity comparable only to the likes of a poorly conceived Fody's. Keep in mind, this is merely based on a first impression. And seeing as how you only get one shot at that, this is as fair of a review as I can give them. I want to start out by saying that the service was beyond reproach. I mean, aside from forgetting to bring me an extra side of tartar sauce, I can't really complain about the servers' performance at all. They were all very attentive and prompt; which is saying a lot, considering we had two tables with a combined total of about 17 persons in attendance that evening. 9 out of 10 for their outstanding performance this evening. What I found absolutely shocking, however....was the food. It wasn't all bad. But it was all over the place in terms of execution. So, let's talk about the Caesar salad for a minute. What do you imagine the perfect salad to consist of? Semi-copious amounts of dressing with positive quality control on which lettuce pieces are used and tender-ish croutons that still have just the right amount of bite, right? Yeah, well....the salad possessed a severe lack of Caesar dressing, accompanied with croutons that were hard as boulders. I won't even get into the stalky lettuce pieces they used since I can usually eat past those anyway. 4 out of 10 - how do you f*¢k up salad?! Before I discuss the main course, I want to give a quasi-honorable mention to the menu. Whilst some may view the selection as bold and interesting, I found it rather middle-of-the-road, limited, and boring. Perhaps this just isn't my scene and, remember...this is just my opinion on things. But it's worth mentioning because virtually the only thing I felt willing to try that was NOT a burger was.. The fish n' chips: normally a classic New England favorite of mine (since I grew up here n' all). Ultimately, the fish was the best part of this whole experience (thank whatever deity you worship) because at least it was tender and flavorful. As for the chip crusted breading, it could have been thinner. I don't mind the different approach to the composition of the breading itself. In fact, I was intrigued by it. I just wish the outer layer didn't resemble the outside of a tree stump. The fries it came with straight-up pissed me off. They were almost totally inedible due to being cooked to oblivion. This created an outer shell that was rock hard with the innards completely hollowed out. Seriously, if your kitchen is jacking up the fries, it may be time to get a new deep fryer. That or....double check temps of your oil. Either way, this dish was like a 5 out of 10 for me. Couldn't even finish the fries. Oh, side note: another coworker of mine got a Long Island Iced Tea which looked a lot more like a Mimosa gone wrong. And no, I didn't sample any. My coworker, on the other hand, confirmed to me that his drink was, indeed...ass. At least the house Cabernet was fine. The bar area looked vastly roomy and inviting as well. So, there is that. Like I said, the best part of the evening was basically the service. Had it not been so stellar, I'd probably be giving this place 2 stars, at best. Ah well. Proof positive that service can *somewhat* make up for otherwise subpar cuisine. Needless to say, I can't see myself coming back here ever again (for dinner, anyway). Not because it's bad or anything. But because it just doesn't seem to be my scene, I think. On that note, Tavern in the Square receives 3 cod fish coated in tree bark for breading out of 5.

    Apple danish pancakes
    Victoria C.

    Located next to the Burlington Mall, Tavern is a classic spot to get together with friends. I came here on a Sunday afternoon with a few friends and was able to still order brunch. I got the Apple danish pancakes and they were spectacular. They are massive, 3 pancakes with cinnamon in-between topped with apples and frosting. I wasn't able to finish the whole plate, so took it back home to enjoy the next day. The service was great and the music selection was pretty old school. The place was pretty full with small groups of friends and families enjoying some time out together. I would recommend coming if you have a big gathering of people.

    Great bartenders and drinks but food is mediocre for children and overpriced. Portions are subpar and choices are decent.

I opted for the $13 option to max out on cheese curds. They let you order 2 apps at a time and while the deal is a good value, service left something to be desired. Unfortunately, it took a while for apps to come out despite the fact that it wasn't busy and we were only ordering 2 at a time. Also, in my opinion, only the cheese curds and mozz sticks were worth it, all the other apps weren't that good, especially the chips and one of the dips (way too many chips and not enough dip - we had to ask for just the dips and no more chips for subsequent orders). It's overall a good deal to feed 4 mouths, but don't expect high quality apps, it's quantity over quality for this promo. But their wings are still wonderful, especially on BOGO Tuesdays and Thursdays! Also it's a lovely spot to watch sports and hang out with friends!

It is ok the smaller side, so I would arrive slightly early if you would like good viewing of a specific game; however, there is TVs throughout the small-ish space. I ordered the cheese curds to munch on, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that they were some of the best cheese curds I've had. The breading wasn't thick like most, just an ultra thin layer. Added fresh jalapeños. And for dipping it was a ranch-styled sauce. So SO good ! I had a local, canned beer to drink. Service was good and it gave off a local/community vibe since the bartenders seemed to know who the regulars are. I will definitely be back! I typically don't drink cocktails at this sort of establishment, but the White Russian 2.0 has perked my interest. If the food is that great and it's only $13 for a cocktail... I'll be back to give it a try.
