I went here with some coworkers while I was in town for a business trip. We had reservations and were seated immediately on the patio (where we requested). The service was really good, and the staff was very knowledgeable about the menu and made good recommendations. For our appetizers, we had bang-bang broccoli and crispy chicken dumplings. The broccoli was so amazing. It didn't feel mushy, and it was the perfect crisp. The dumplings were also great and had a good flavor. For my drink, I had a margarita. It had a nice kick, but it wasn't overwhelmingly strong. For my entrée, I had Baked Tortellini Bolognese. It was so good, and there was so much food on the plate that I had some leftover to take back with me. The short rib and sausage were both tender. Everything on the tortellini was amazing. The short rib packed such a great flavor, and it was so tender. It easily made the dish. I'm so glad I went with my gut and ordered. They also took great care regarding my shellfish allergy and checked to make sure I had no issues, as someone in my group had ordered seafood. I thought that it was very considerate of them to do. Overall, I enjoyed my visit, and if I am in town for business again, I hope that we are able to stop back by. read more

Scratched my burger craving with the steakhouse burger topped with mushrooms, cowboy butter, cheddar, arugula and garlic aioli. Added some caramelized onions and it was pretty tasty and surprisingly not too messy. The bun held up to the toppings and the burger was juicy. Fries left a bit to be desired, they were lukewarm. The strawberry spritz was refreshing and not too sweet. Our server was great and had impeccable timing. She acted quickly when I mentioned the onions were missing. Space was lively since it was Sunday night football. Overall pretty good tavern for some pub food. read more

I had lunch today at the Tavern in Woburn - first time there. I was a a bit distracted because I was with a friend who is RV-ing around the country and who has just found a new beau in an Arizona campground! I had to hear all about it. She is 80!!!! In any event, I changed my burger order a bit, having the sweet potato burger (Garden Goddess Burger) with the toppings from the Blackened Bacon and Bleu Burger, minus the bacon. The waitress, Alex, asked me if I wanted the trimmings from the sweet potato burger, lettuce, tomato, etc., and I said I did. I never noticed that avocado was one of the trimmings. When the burger came, I saw the avocado and said I couldn't eat that; I am allergic, and asked the waitress to remove it. I should have done it myself! It was just a moment of shock on my that caused me to mention it to her, because I was off in left field hearing about dreamboats! Well! Alex took the burger away and the manager, John came over to the table. By this time, I was more collected and told John not to replace my burger, just take away the avocado! He was so concerned about the avocado having touched the rest of ingredients that he insisted I have a new burger. I understand his concern; I would have done the same thing if I were managing a restaurant, but I knew it wasn't necessary in my case. And I hated to waste the food. A new burger came and we were all happy (except I regret the fluff-up my inattention caused). John was a perfect host! His handling of the situation and me were perfect! And Alex is a dream server! Informed, patient, attentive - perfect! She should get a raise and John, wonderful! - I hope his bosses appreciate him! Good employees are not a dime a dozen, let alone wonders like these two! The mac and cheese I got as a side with the burger was the best I've had in a restaurant. I hate to say this because it might be misinterpreted, but it tasted like a sublime upgrade to Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, the Original! I love Kraft - a vestige of my childhood, and the mac and cheese today had a hint of the Kraft taste in its blend of cheeses. I'm not suggesting the cheeses were melted powder or anything of the sort; the dish was simply delicious with a delicious flavor that reminded me of, hinted at, the old standby. And the serving was enough for three people to share as a side. My friend got the sweet potato burger with no changes. Her side was sweet potato fries - also tasty! The restaurant's menu is interesting, not enough to draw me back because I'm a vegetarian/ a little fish and I really want vegetables and salads galore on a menu, but for a normal person, there are interesting choices. The staff is special. They were personable and sweet, attentive and professional. Because of them, I would go back - fish tacos the next time....no avocado! read more

Went on a one on one night with my son. Waitress was super friendly and patient with my guy (7 yo). Food was quick and hot. The tacos were great, and the rosemary fries were amazing! We splurged and had dessert. The chocolate mousse cake was HUGE! It was delicious and I'm glad we couldn't finish it because we were able to take it home for another day. read more

Loved this location! They opened the side doors which brought in a nice breeze. Perfect summer day. It was pretty busy but it didn't feel uncomfortably packed or too loud. There were 5 of us and we all enjoyed our meals. Each one was very tasty. Between us we had fish with rice and veggies, chicken with rice and veggies, quinoa and veggies, fish tacos and tots, and a chicken quesadilla. Delicious! Our server was very nice. The only negative is that it seemed to take a while for our food to come out but it was well worth the wait and we will go back! It was clean and definitely comfortable in there. read more

Yum! I get this salad almost every time I come to Tavern - it hits every time! The chicken is so crispy and so flavorful - I do wish it had a little bit more of a spicy kick but I do really like it. The toppings all mesh together really well and we had great service! Will be back for sure. read more

UPDATE: Love the ahi tuna bowl! We've eaten here a few times now and this has to be my favorite dish on the menu. The fish is so fresh and beautifully presented. The wait staff here are always so kind and we are always seated quickly. The menu is pretty set so it would be nice if there offer some specials every now and then. read more

I have been disappointed recently at most Of the new places. Usually the food is mediocre, with lousy service and poor presentation. This was very different. Food was abundant, good quality and taste with attentive service. Presentation was very good. The plates of food were loaded with food, that was well prepared.surprised, I'd go again. read more

Went to brunch and honestly impressed for a chain restaurant. The wait staff were very knowledgeable and friendly, and food was very good. My friend is also GF and the cooks made sure to label her food with a toothpick to ensure the right plate was brought out! read more

Made a reservation for 515 and arrived at 510. Group of 3. We were sat outside in back and were promptly forgotten about. There were numerous staff visible and several different people walked by our table multiple times. We left after waiting 15 minutes and seeing several tables sat after us have orders taken. On the way out we noticed a group of servers chatting. I tried to outreach the restaurant via open table where I made the reservation, however rather than a response they "helpfully" cancelled the reservation which deleted my comment. read more

Food and drink are always great The service not so much. I have been there three times. The first time was mediocre service. Seems like they didn't want to be there the second time. The server actually took the plate away from my daughter while she was still eating. We thought it was funny but at the same time not. Takes too long to get refills on either soda or alcohol. Third time server seemed new. Really really sweet but it took like 12 minutes for our drinks and there was only two tables there. They all seem to be huddled in a corner laughing and giggling and just chit-chatting but it wasn't busy at all. I expected better service. Not like a fast enough check back at all. Basically finished before the first check back. We were given the late night menu but no drink menu. We had to ask for it Good food prices are good. Service needs improvement. read more

We had delicious and plentiful meals here and it was nice to see so many gluten free options. Service was great. The ambiance was crowded and noisy but we still had a good meal. read more

Had a very yummy dinner with some friends. We had reservations and we were sat right away and even got roof top. Our server was super attentive and kind. I have a gluten food allergy and they kept me safe. I had the fish and chips and they were perfect! I can't wait to come again read more

Up in Boston for a few days staying across the street from here, we ended up going here 4 times. All the food was delish, service was excellent and the vibe was super cool. We sat on the rooftop 3 of the 4 times and it was lovely up there. Drinks and craft cocktails were on point. Great beer list on tap. Had the Korean chicken sandwich which was awesome, nachos were huge, and the tacos were delish. Really enjoyed the views up stairs. Definitely a good place to go. read more

I've been to a couple other locations that I prefer a little more. Things were a little slow to start and we arrived pretty late on a Monday. But we had a good time and enjoyed our food and drinks. I got an espresso martini, a spicy margarita and then a glass of Prosecco. The steak and cheese sandwich was decent, and the Mac and cheese was a generous serving. Our waitress was nice and checked in on us regularly. Holiday decor was still up so that was nice! The upstairs portion was closed- it would have been nice to see/be in that area. read more

The food was excellent with lots of options. . Great service. Sports vibe atmosphere.

The burger with bacon and an egg on top is so good. I got broccoli instead of fries and paired with a glass of Chardonnay. What a great lunch - I'd go back for it again anytime. However, the garden salad was a disappointment. They tried hard - the ingredients are fresh, it is presented well, there's good variety, etc... I asked for blue cheese dressing, which was good. But, they added something to the salad that made each bite feel like I was chewing on gritty sand. I don't think it was chia seeds. I'm not sure, but I had to stop half way through. I was sick of crunching. Too bad since the rest of the salad was really good. read more

Birthday arrival evening and found this place in what appears to be a shopping center. One of few places open late. Beautiful place, plenty of noise but still very private areas around the bar. They were short staffed so we were not greeted at door and we sat ourselves. We did have a 5 minute wait before our waiter came over. Despite that our waiter was very polite and friendly. The food was hot, delicious and pleasantly plated! Overall a good experience for my birthday read more

I caught up with my high school best friend here last night and had a wonderful time. I got a marg and he got a beer, we shared the chicken tenders app and each got a burger. Great experience, delicious food, and awesome service. The place was beautiful and packed - clearly a great spot for people to gather. Would love to come back in the summer and see what it's like with the garage doors on a warm day! read more

Stopped here for lunch over the weekend. It's a nice place with a good vibe. The weather was nice so they had the garage doors open. Service was good - but they had a lot of servers standing around doing nothing. Food was good - we had several food allergies and they were extremely responsive. We had a child eating with us and he loved his chicken. Caesar salad! Prices were reasonable. I would definitely go back. read more

The service was both fast and great and nobody else at my table had problems with their food, however throughout my mac and cheese there was little pieces of uncooked pasta which was kind of unappetizing for me. other than that my food was delicious and all the staff here was very nice and accommodating. this restaurant has a perfect atmosphere for a late lunch! the lighting was dim but not too dim! overall i will likely return! read more

A large group of us came on a Friday night for a special occasion and everything was good. We got the fried pickles, Yuzu Tuna Stack, and Sweet & Spicy Thai Chicken Salad. The food itself is decent, nothing amazing. The fried pickles were good. Someone got a pasta dish and it was not good. I would stick with traditional American/tavern food here. They do have vegetarian and gluten free options available. Service was good. Reservations are recommended for weekend evenings. This location has two levels and a rooftop. There are a ton of TVs so great for watching sports. It's located in the shopping center Woburn Village, so there is a parking lot but if it's a busy, you can be driving around a bit looking for a parking spot. read more

This was a pleasant surprise with good service, tasty food, allergy friendly, and decent atmosphere. We visited with some friends and had a good time. The Bayou chicken pasta bowl was very flavorful with a bit blackening on the chicken and Parmesan cream sauce. Highly recommended for people who like strong flavors. The Sweet and Spicy Thai Chicken salad was very generously portioned and really good. This location is in the Woburn Village Mall which is nice to explore and walk around. read more

Came here with friends and it was a great environment! Friendly staff and decently good food with a large menu. The broccoli was a great starter and had lots of flavor, but we just wish it was a little crispier. Our entrees were all really good also, the burgers were delicious. The portions were large though and we all ended up taking half of our meals home. read more

I believe most experiences I have at Tavern in the Square to be nice, cordial, and fun. This location was far from any of those things. The atmosphere of the restaurant seethes with the gentrification of the sub-area it is located in: Woburn Village. The area is a microcosm of white and glassy buildings that the wealthy seem to love despite it looking uninspired and boring. This location follows that trend with most of the walls being glass windows, wooden panels that make me feel like I'm in my basement but also somehow a wealthy version of it, and the very tacky overhead lights and sconces. It is the location least like others I have been to and it suffers because it does not feel like a tavern, pub, or any other similar word you'd like to use to describe it considering even just the look and decor is diametrically opposed to the target audiences that would be in a tavern: working-class people. Beyond this, how about the service? The red-headed waitress who was with us for this outing did all the things a waitress does, but in a snarky, almost angry way. From aggressively snagging the menus from my hands after ordering to throwing the check on the table- this was not exactly an ideal experience. I believe the most egregious thing of all is more of a general red flag for me: when the waitress for some reason can't even look at my partner at the table, let alone face her, we have a problem. I'm not sure exactly what the hangup was here, but it seemed there were hostile and uncaring undertones. This review only gets 2 stars because I know the chefs are at least trying. The Nashville chicken sandwich and buffalo mac and cheese were our choices today. How a mac and cheese dish is $23 I will never know. It probably has to do with this tendency to cater towards "avocado-ing" everything on the menu. I digress and I don't agree with it, but the chefs are good at what they do here. Mac could have been a little less watery, but overall a good meal. read more

I was visiting out of town and was amazed they had gluten free options. The food was so delicious and didn't even taste like it was gluten free. The chicken tenders were amazing and the pasta. I got a pizza and added tenders and it was the best. Loved every entree I got! read more

On the way back from Montreal, I stopped for lunch at this Tavern in the Square location. I have been to several of their restaurants in the region before, so I knew about their menu and quality. Since I am part of their rewards program, I also had some "credits" in my account that I wanted to use. I arrived and got seated promptly. My server was very sweet and friendly. I got the Mediterranean Salmon, I asked for rice instead of couscous and my server, said, no problem. The food arrived timely and the salmon was cooked perfectly...I did not need to use a knife to cut the moist piece of salmon, my fork was all I needed to get into this beautifully cooked piece of fish. I had asked for the sauce on the side, so I was able to meter the amount of pesto sauce I layered on the salmon. Some fresh roasted vegetables complemented the plate, all done very nicely. The rice was perfectly cooked as well. A great meal at a restaurant with great menu choices and good prices. read more

The food, service, ambience, and atmosphere was amazing at a private event that we went to recently on the rooftop. My only complaint is that management really really needs to consider installing ceiling fans under the bar portion of the rooftop bar. There was one super tiny fan hanging on the ceiling near where the food is kept during events to obviously keep the air circulating over there. However, installing some ceiling fans under the Bar portion is so necessary and would give so much needed relief to guests (and staff) on hot days during the summer months. read more

First time visiting Tavern in the Square. Located in a standalone building in a Mall parking lot. Popular tavern with multiple floors with large TV's to catch your favorite games. The menu is 1 page and offers something for everyone. All the food being served around us looked delicious My guest and I ordered two different burgers a Tavern Burger and a Blacken Bacon+ Blue Burger a couple of draft beers Burgers were fine $17-$18 I would try them again read more

came in here ready and excited to celebrate my birthday. We called in advance and the hostess told us for our large party, we would have to separate groups into four (we had 13 people). this was no problem because it was last minute anyways. Upon going into the restaurant the hostesses couldn't seem to figure out that the reservations were under different names, though we explained this several times And that is what we were instructed to do. we stepped to the side while they struggled to figure out what we had already discussed on the phone. next they accused one of our party members of being "too intoxicated" and that she couldn't serve her. this member of our party is undergoing chemo therapy drugs and is frequently sick to her stomach but tries to navigate life normally. We were planning on starting off our night there with drinks. sounds like discrimination and that they were looking for an excuse to not serve us. I hope the hostess (short dark hair female with a wide stature) understands the mental impact of her actions. I hope there's some sort of anti discrimination training that you hold for employees. read more

This place is always busy. The plaza it's in is crazy so definitely leave yourself plenty of time to find parking. Even on a weekday for lunch the lot is often very busy. The restaurant can get very loud, but it is a fun place to sit and eat and catch a game if you want to. The food is better than your average bar food for sure. The quinoa and beet salad is really good. Mac and cheese was okay, but served lukewarm which wasn't ideal. The service is okay, definitely not super quick or attentive, but they're nice. read more

Service was Great Waitress was friendly and helpful. Just what I needed after the 6 hr. Drive. This area looks fairly new construction. I would consider it an upscale sports bar atmosphere. Looks like they have a Great Outdoor area as well. Food was great got a killer grilled chicken Caesar salad. read more

Tavern in the Square is the perfect place for a bite and drinks. Our favorites are their flavored chicken tenders, fried pickles, and Mac and cheese. Can't leave without having an espresso martini either. It's in a great location to bop through a few stores with friends after too! My friends and I have always had a great time here. Once we had tried to see if there was any space at the bar upstairs (with the great view for a summer night!!) but it was pretty busy. A manager saw us and realized there weren't enough seats together for us. He told us to hold on and he worked some magic! He cleared away some things and even carried an empty chair from the opposite end so we could sit up there. It was so nice and thoughtful when we easily could've sat downstairs. I always notice he's helping out his staff which doesn't go unnoticed. All our servers have been great- it's a great show of their service! read more

Unfortunately did not had a good experience here. Bar staff was honestly disrespectful and rude, we were called out for being "over-served" yet they're the one serving the drinks. Came on a Saturday, was not what I was expecting at all. Had 3 beers over the course of two hours and was told we had to order over $20 of food so we "weren't breaking state laws." Sounds like they're just racking up the bill, ridiculous. Will not be back. read more

Food and service are good. But they haven't figured out their temperature settings. There are no fans and the AC doesn't work on the whole outside portion because it's all windows and it's separate. The upstairs is also not air conditioned. Unfortunate for such a beautiful spot! read more

Great menu selection, very good and kind waiter. Food surprisingly good for a chain. Busy and loud but it was a Saturday.

I really liked this location! The restaurant has a second floor with a rooftop which was perfect in the summer. Bar upstairs gave speakeasy vibes. Service is always great bartenders are super friendly and servers are always giving fats prompt service and I feel like there is always a manager on duty that comes in to check how drinks and food was right after first tastes which I thought was a very nice touch! My favorite app is the cornflake chicken tenders- I never had anything like it before. You can get them tossed in a sauce but I usually just eat them plain with honey mustard because they are so good. Drinks are always 10/100 mango chile margaritas and ruby Collin's are my go to always!! read more
