My friend and I were looking for a low-key place where we could grab dinner and walk in with our…read moreworkout clothes, and this place came up. Neither of us had been before, and a burger sounded really good to me at that moment, so we decided to give it a try! I made a reservation about 20 minutes before we arrived. We got there early, but they seated us right away. It wasn't too busy, and we eventually moved to the bar because the seating made it easier to chat. The frozen espresso drinks immediately caught our attention. Even though it was late, we couldn't resist the sound of that. They were strong and quite tasty. We started with the fried mozzarella balls, which were nice and crispy. My friend ordered the chicken Milanese, and I went with the signature Tavern Burger. Our bartender, Luan, was very nice and attentive. Between the overall relaxed atmosphere, tasty drinks, and friendly service, it was a great spot for our casual night out. Luan told us that the menu was changing the next day and we will definitely come back to try the seasonal menu.

With the low cost, expect disposable plates and utensils, but who cares?! Come in for a drink, stay for a meal, and leave with some new friends.

Cruisin' through Andover, I roll up to The Autograph American Tavern lookin' for some comfort food, and they hit me with a chicken pot pie that was straight-up gasoline. Capisce? This thing comes out in a cast iron skillet, sizzlin' hot, with a giant puff pastry dome on top, golden and flaky like a perfect peeling wave. Sprinkle of flaky sea salt, little fresh parsley on top. Bellissimo. You crack through that crust and the creamy filling underneath is bubblin' up around the edges, rich and hearty, just beggin' you to dive in. I was fully barreled, brah. On a cold New England day, this is the kinda dish that warms you up from the inside out. Tastes like somebody's nonna made it with love, but with that upscale tavern touch. The whole vibe of the place is classy too, without bein' stuffy. So listen to me. You find yourself in Andover, you go to The Autograph and you get the chicken pot pie. Don't make me tell you twice. Fuhgeddaboudit, this one's a keeper. -- Captain 619

Side was sweet potato fries. My wife really enjoyed this dish. Second main was Korean Krispy Chicken side of tater tots. Chicken was cooked correctly and the sauce amazing. Drink was a non alcoholic Guinness. I loved and recommend this dish. Our server came back and checked on us regularly and offered dessert at the end. Now was it worth a $100 lunch after tip? Yes it is. Life is too short to not enjoy yourself. Now eat some great food.

You sit there for 30 minutes and you lose your appetite, causing the restaurant to lose money. Watched multiple people walk in and directly back out even with ample bar space. The food is some of the best I've had at the chain. Love the wings, feta dip, general tsos chicken, and burgers! Drinks and friendly conversation with bartenders is amazing! If you don't make a reservation, don't bother sitting anywhere but the bar. They have 6 hostesses on a given night and not a single one will greet you or act professional. Can't get an accurate wait time aside from "X number of people ahead of you". No communication that upper and lower level seating waits are different. At the end of the day, come here for the bar and decent food. Don't expect air conditioning or appropriate management.
