Tavern Mac & Cheese with chicken
Areeba Z.

This is a very popular spot amongst our coworkers for lunch or after work drinks. I've probably tried all their appetizers by this point and they are all amazing. It is a bar so expect mostly bar food, but their service is always quick and attentive. I like their cheesesteak egg rolls and chicken wings the best. During holiday season they have seasonal drinks. I got their hot chocolate. They also have private rooms for large parties.

Menu. You can appreciate all the GF items. Brownie was AMAZING!

This place was amazing! Our server was kind and knowledgeable. My child is Celiac and I am gluten intolerant and our server was very accommodating and understanding. We loved everything we ordered, but what we enjoyed the most is that they had so many choices that were GF and those things we picked, were delicious! Place looked clean, service was quick and everyone was kind. I wish I would have taken pictures of all our food. We had the trio dil appetizer, Margherita flatbread, and chicken milanese. 10/10 recommended!

Warm Goat Cheese Salad with Chicken
Kimberly S.

Food was good, a bit overpriced. Staff were nice as well and lively atmosphere on a Saturday night with tvs and people

The tavern on high flatbread!
Haley P.

Food is mediocre at best! I love the energy of the bar and restaurant but definitely pricey for food that is meh.

White cosmo martini  Blackberry marg

Great recommendation! Loved the vibe, ambiance. Very comfortable spot- popped in for lunch and loved it. Great drink menu, great variety on menu, lots of tasty selections. I got the goat cheese salad- great choice and my husband got the fish tacos- exactly what he was craving. Service was excellent- can't wait to go back!

Shrimp Risotto

I've been here many times and usually don't complain. Tonight, I ordered this (full entree) to go, it cost me $28 plus a 20% tip.... This is what I got.

French Onion Soup
Maria G.

I ordered to go, and I got French Onion soup, and a burger with Brussels sprouts. I honestly thought the container in my pictures was the side for my burger. (The burger was the only good part of my meal). The French Onion soup was served in the smallest container (usually used for Cole slaw, potato salad, etc). Never have I ever... The Brussels sprouts had no flavor, just greasy, and covered in oil. The only good part of the meal, as I said was the burger. I can't speak to the ambiance, as I never went it, and the service was fine. I know costs are up- but $12 for the French Onion soup is more than ridiculous.

Tavern Tenderloins
Gloria L.

If I could give it a 3.5, I would, but since I can't, I'm rounding down. To start off, the place itself has ample amount of seating - high tops, low tops, and bar seating. There's also a patio but since it's winter it's not open. The staff was great and attentive as well. Now for the food. The french onion soup was very rich and flavorful and not too salty, but I don't know if it's $10 worth for the size you get. The Tavern Tenderloins were nicely cooked and the marinade tasted delicious. The green beans were nicely cooked, very basic ingredients from what I could taste, butter and garlic. The mashed potatoes however were cold and bland AF. There was absolutely no seasoning on those potatoes. The spicy Cajun chicken sandwich was not spicy at all. Honestly, the only thing I actually tasted was the guacamole which wasn't bad. The chicken itself was nicely fried and I have no complaints. The star of that dish were the fries. Crispy on the inside, soft on the inside, the perfect pub fries. I don't think I'd come back here to eat, but maybe I just didn't order the right thing. and staff were really great - attentive and nice. The french onion soup was really good too, but I don't know if it's $10 worth. Now for the entrees. We got the tavern tenderloins which had a great marinade

Salmon and risotto
Patrick F.

Great temperature, risotto was creamy and tasty, salmon was well cooked. The only downside is the pesto, too much. Strong taste. The dish was well served, it is literally HALF CHICKEN, and mashed potatoes was very good.

Peppermint chocolate martini so tasty! Best drinks and bartenders

Just not great so many better places. I'd always opt to NOT go. The food is marginal at best. The ambiance is lacking.

The food was good, service was excellent but it felt crowded and loud, so just missed getting a fifth star. I will be back.

Only missing the impromptu dance floor up front as the DJ came on. The service was amazing, and maybe it also made a difference that it's hard to find good service anywhere around here.

And we interacted with neighboring tables on both sides to recommend (when asked) the oysters, and when one received a drink with a big smoke bubble that created a magical flow of smoke when it burst. French inspired drinks and food were fantastic and interesting. The French 75 menu was so interesting-- choose your flavor and your bubbles. I tried two, the classic with rosé was so pretty, and the honey lavender with base level champagne was delicious. The raw oysters were to die for! Perfect little pop of acidity with other flavors delicately added and perfectly balanced. The oysters Rockefeller were also perfectly delicious. The foie gras is not something I would normally eat, but my boyfriend loves that stuff so we went with it. I enjoyed it more than he did. It was not a classic foie gras, it was smoother with a creamier texture and more buttery flavor. Eating it with the fig jam and "light as clouds" toast made it absolutely delicious! I enjoyed every minute and mouthful--would definitely seek this place out again even though I live an hour away! We enjoyed ourselves too much to take pictures!

The place has the feel of a local neighborhood pub which has finished wood walls, flooring, & ceiling. There is seating at the full service bar, table seating along the walls, pool table in the back, a musician/karaoke stage in the front corner and TVs throughout the room. There is a patio area out back. They offer nightly entertainment such as DJs, karaoke (Tue), trivia (Wed), and live music. The food menu offers pub fare including appetizers, wings, chips & dips, salads, burger/sandwich plates, quesadillas, tacos, chicken & waffles, pasta, steaks, and desserts. The prices are moderate. The bar offers 12 beers on draft, beer bottles/cans, wine, cocktails & mixed drinks. I stopped by Fonzi's for dinner very recently. I sat up at the bar for prompt service. I got an ice water as I looked over the menu. For an appetizer, the Fried Raviolis ($12 plus tax) had 6 good size fried breaded raviolis filled with cheese including ricotta & seasoning) over a zesty marinara sauce. For dinner, the Basic Bit*h Burger ($18 plus tax) had a thick grilled beef patty with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, & pickle chips on a thick kaiser bun. The fries were lightly fried and very hot. Both the fried raviolis and thick juicy burger were very good and fries were decent. After I was done, I got the check with Upserve QR code, which was $32.10 with tax and before tip. I was able to pay the check on my phone, as the place was getting busier around 6:30 pm. The service was prompt sitting at the bar and I was able to watch some sports highlights on the TV. I would definitely come back here to try other food on their menu like the coconut shrimp, tacos, and cheese tortellini gratinati with chicken.

Petty laid back bar…read more Been here a few time the crowd is young professionals and mostly come from Andover it seems like. They have a a large out door patio that is perfect to knock back a few cold ones under the night's sky or during a nice summer day. They also allow smoking on the patio, if your into that. They have a large parking spot but it's not paved so you have to drive on a dirt and small pebbles. The piece is extremely affordable. The popcorn machine is a cool added benefit. The music box is cool but they people that chose the music suck. It's my go to bar in this area. Not really sure how the re-review works but tonight is was a cool night to come here. They have a live music DJ. Paying good drinks jams and at a volume that is not over baring. They have that sand bag game on the out door patio so that's cool to drink and play with friends. The hot fresh popcorn is a plus. Glad I found this local bar. The parking lot is still not paved and have made zero progress in doing so so that still sucks.

(Ok, we come to get W45T3D but whatever.) At this point the bartender knows to expect us and even asked my boyfriend where we were when he arrived an hour before us last week. She said she thinks we're "fun". We ARE the party. Duh. They have everything a bar should have: Cheap beer on tap, hard liquor for shots (Jager bombs anyone?), and a jukebox. That's pretty much all it takes to keep me happy. There are usually a few old townies drinking in the corner when we show up but after we take over the music situation they either pack up and head out or sit back and enjoy the show. We take this place over. And lately we've been bringing more people with us every time -- Because seriously, what else is there to do on a Tuesday night? I've come a couple times on the weekends. It's usually PACKED with "bro's" and college kids. All set. I'll stick to week night drinking :)
