Tavern in the Square

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

Made an unplanned stop here for dinner and it was very solid!! Our server was lovely and very efficient and helpful. I really appreciated the fun range of mocktails (highly recommend the pomegranate blueberry refresher!) and the menu had a good range of options. A good solid sports bar with a big menu. Not too loud or crowded -- at least on a Wednesday around 6.

Nice for a casual date. Noisy but relaxed atmosphere. Vegetarian options available. The appetizers are great and the portions are big. The drinks menu is extensive and they have refreshing mocktails available too. We recently tried the brunch menu which was very tasty. We've been here multiple times and have always been seated quickly. Servers were always nice.

Service at the bar was terrible, very inattentive. Food was decent for bar meal. Parking for the restaurant unless non busy time is abhorrent.
