    Tavern burger with fries
    Deliah C.

    Just the outside of the building you can see the type of atmosphere it will be. Its a super fancy looking place. Very open but welcoming and friendly. The hostess (whome i found out is the manager after we were finished) was friendly and polite. The waiter,Alec, was right off the bat amazing. Super friendly, talk-a-tive, just how we like it. My boyfriend and I do enjoy our friendly waitress/ers. So he made our experience amazing before we even ordered our food. He recommended a very delicious fruity drink for me. Than the food. I had the honey salmon super delicious. Cooked to perfection. No complaints from me. My boyfriend had the burrito and fries. He likes his simple food which is totally fine. The burger was good, cooked medium rare. His fries were amazing great seasoning on it. Over fantastic experience!

    I've been twice and really enjoyed the visits. The first trip was exceptional. Service fast food amazing and a really fun vibe. They have a rooftop area which I have used yet but I will next visit. The second trip was not as great. Order apps 10-15 mins before the main course and they came out with the food! That is a major pet peeve of mine. Food was good but not as flavorful as the first trip. General Tso is a great dish. The even deep fry the broccoli and toss it in the sauce. My husband got the fish and chips but said it was only okay. Don't enjoy the panko bread crust. We will definitely be back and hopefully they'll get those kitchen times on point. Not an app of it comes with dinner!

    Steak & Cheese Crunch Melt w/Mac & Cheese

    Stopped by TSQ to have lunch with my friend. We are in the Loyalty Program & had rewards to cash in. I highly advise joining because of the perks. We had our entire meals at no cost to us. My friend had the Steak and Cheese Crunch Melt. She said it was delicious. I probably wouldn't get it because it is a little spicy. She chose Mac & Cheese for her side. The portion was large enough for a meal & she took most of it home. I tasted it-so rich & creamy. I had the Steakhouse Burger with a side of Sweet Potato Fries-so good! We sat at the bar & had excellent service from Jeff who was very kind & helpful. We will certainly be back.

    After a long day of shopping we stopped into Tavern in the Square for an early dinner. The restaurant was packed but once we were seated we hardly noticed. If you try anything at Tavern I insist you try the whipped feta!!! It is absolutely divine!!! My only complaint was there was not enough bread, however, our amazing waitress got us more no problem. Honestly we enjoyed everything we ate and couldn't have been happier with the service. We've been to several locations and this one is the best to date!

    Came here for my brother in law's grandmothers bday and I'm so glad we did. It's located in the heart of Tuscan Village so parking can be rough but the weather wasn't the greatest so we found some decent parking. The service was very good for the restaurant only being open less than a month. My whole family really enjoyed the dishes they picked and now it's time to talk about my food. I picked the Picanté Burger because it was my first time here and if you can't make a burger then I don't want to try anything else lol. The burger consisted of crispy bacon, pepperjack cheese, pico de gallo and chipotle aioli. I really enjoyed the burger and all the ingredients went really well together. I was surprised that everyone in my party loved their food. I'll definitely be back and the prices are reasonable too! So give this place a try if you're around Salem.

    Tonight, we went to Tavern in the Square at the Tuscan Village for dinner. Surprisingly, we only waited less than 30 minutes on a Friday night, even though the restaurant was filled to capacity. I ordered the sweet and spicy Thai chicken salad, and my friend had the steak & avocado garden salad, they were both delicious, with the steak cooked perfectly. The staff was attentive and friendly. My only minor complaint is that my mock-tail was served in a slender glass, mostly filled with ice and not very much to drink. Additionally, it took a while for our server to return to our table to ask for takeout boxes and our check. Towards the end of the meal, she didn't ask if we wanted to see a dessert menu, which would've been nice, but we were too full to ask anyway. I might try going again, perhaps for lunch on a less busy day. During our meal, it was a bit too loud, making it hard to hear each other talk. Overall, a good experience!

    You would think a restaurant with 17 locations should be able to get something as simple as steak tips, broccoli and mashed potatoes right. My daughter and I went to Tavern in the Square for our weekly night out. The location we went to was in the Tuscan Village. The décor is very nice and if you are going out for drinks and nachos this place may be alright for you, but a delicious dinner its not. Not what we got anyway. I have to say 99 is better. This place is obviously run by investors that want to make as much money on these restaurants as humanly possible. They have 17 locations, 2 upcoming locations and 4 sister restaurants and 2 upcoming sister restaurants. I should have paid attention ahead of time. I would have known you are never going to get a cooked to order meal out of a restaurant chain of this size. Certainly not your average chef run business. We got drinks to start. It was late so we just ordered everything at once. Sirloin steak tips which are described as in a house marinade which came with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli for $29.00. We ordered the tips medium. We also got a Chopped Greek salad with chicken at $15.50 and a Classic Pizza at $15.00. They do not serve bread. The sirloin tips came and had no char on them from the grille so obviously were not cooked on the grill. They almost seemed like they were boiled. Even if they were baked, they would have some sort of char on them. They had no marinade taste, were well done as seen in the pictures by not a drop of juice on the plate, and tasted gamey. I only ate one and that was all I needed. The broccoli was literally RAW. It is described as steamed but I think they skipped that step. If they threw it in boiling water for two seconds to brighten it up that's all they did. The garlic mashed potatoes had no garlic taste and were instant.

    Via the bartender was absolutely incredible. Me and my friend came in for brunch. The Buffalo chicken Benedict was to die for and the lemon drop martini was 10 out of 10.. Super friendly and she has amazing hair to top it off ‍ We will be back to visit this hard-working girl at this new establishment!

    we had an early dinner on New Year's Eve. There was a group of eight. We had to sit at two separate tables because the kitchen was not ready to serve eight people. We ordered the bang bang, broccoli, buffalo cauliflower, and two pizzas. The food was excellent, and the portions were good. The service was not great however it was New Year's Eve and they are newly opened. I hope that it improves with time. We will definitely return.

    Had a great lunch here today. Our server was super nice & helpful. I even signed up for their rewards program! I had the mesquite chicken bowl & my wife had General Tao's Chicken. Both were excellent! Lots of gluten-free options too. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Love this new location in Salem.

Inside was very busy and cavernous but we got right in and sat at a table in the back. A band was setting up for some live music. We ordered beers, and a half tray of natchos which were very good and had a generous amount of cheese. For dinner, I had 16oz prime rib with 2 sides ($24.99) and I had a garden salad and a baked potato. The rib was cooked correct (medium) and the au joux was a bit salty. The rib had a good amount of fat (to be expected) but had a lot of silverskin and sinew which should have been removed prior to cooking. The potato was not cooked and was hard in the middle. I got that swapped for fries which were decent. Service was eh just ok and not to attentive.

Not enough staff was on the floor to attend to number of customers around an event that the place was hosting. Nachos were not great, to few chips has any toppings on it and the plate was left with just about every chip with nothing on them. The pretzels had no substance and was covered with enough salt to melt snow on 93 north. The beer was cold, so for that - they get one star. An argument broke out and spilt into the lobby and parking lot and staff seems to be involved. Local police came to calm everything down, it was a strange scene and doubt I would be going back anytime soon.

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 :)

We had a party of 7 and we were very excited to finally try Dreo. We started with 2 orders of the calamari and the spinach dip special. My husband noticed the calamari also had shrimp which I am allergic to. They happily removed the shrimp but unfortunately it's fried in the same oil (which is completely logical) but everyone at our table (besides me) throughly enjoyed the calamari. I cannot even begin to explain how good the spinach dip was. I'm not sure I'll have want to eat spinach dip without garlic bread again!!! Next up entrees: 2 ribeyes, 1 NY strip, 1 Korean BBQ Bowl, 1 Soy Maple Glazed Salmon, and 1 Tuscan Fried Chicken. I am newly pregnant and to be honest I was not looking forward to eating out because my go to is rib eye but I refuse to eat well done meat so instead I ordered the Tuscan fried chicken. I also asked to sub the mashed potatoes for truffle fries and the veggie medley for green beans. They had no problems with my requests which I loved. I loved every single bite of my chicken and I actually stopped caring that I was missing on steak! In fact every single person at our table loved everything they ate too. We ended our meal with cookie skillets and again absolutely delicious! Now our meal was fantastic by itself but I have to say our waiter Brett was just as amazing!! He couldn't have done a better job and he totally rolled with our parties over the top personalities. Even if the food wasn't outstanding we'd go back just for the service! I really hope of the owners or managers see this; Brett is fantastic and deserves praise!! We will definitely be back and since I still have about 7 and half months to go I will be coming back for more Tuscan fried chicken soon!!
