Tavern On the Main

Loved it here. I went with a work group. This was actually my second time here. First time was back in 2022 for a Christmas party. Anyway, We participated in a bar crawl on 2/17/24 for Jess. It was nice music. They also did a raffle! The service was fast. The place was packed. I kept ordering the grapefruit basil martini aka the duchess. It was really good. The staff was polite and useful. They had great wings also. I'll be back to try those loaded waffle fries one day lol.

What a great spot to get some tasty food! Everything is cooked in front of you, service is nice! Place is roomy and feels spacious. It was busy on a weekday evening, but there was no wait to get seated. Their Reuben sandwich was amazing, so as gyro and coleslaw! Everything is fresh and delicious! Pita, fries - all tastes great! Will be coming back to this place!

I've been driving by this place for years, but finally had the opportunity to give it a try last weekend when we were catching a movie nearby. The place is quite large and much nicer inside than I expected it to be. The menu has a wide range of options, which was good, because my wife and i were in the mood for different types of food. I went for the meatball sub, which was quite tasty. She opted for the Tavern Salad, which she thoroughly enjoyed. The price was reasonable and you could pay by QR code on your phone, which I love!It was a chilly day, but we noticed that they have a huge outside eating area, so we we'll definitely be back when it warms up!

Seated inside, by the patio. It's quite chilly inside. My fingernails are purple. Bring a jacket. Drake is waiting on us. He is all over and is running around a lot. Ordered the Turkey Reuben, not on the menu and a santorini salad, side of onion rings with the Rueben and a side of coleslaw.Menu doesn't have the customer notice about menu prices reflecting cash prices only. Do dislike restaurants that do this shady stuff. I am not a cash person at all, but places like this reward cash carrying customers only. Irksome to say the least. The onion rings were a bit too cooked, a few were rock hard and the onion was hard as well. Santorini salad is as you would get in Greece, no lettuce. It wasn't bad. The chicken pieces were dry. The side of coleslaw was way too thick and creamy for my liking. It's a bit overpriced for what you get here. Also, they add an additional 20% gratuity to the bill, it's not mentioned at all on the menu that they do that at all either. This place is really shady. Drake said the reason for the 20% forget gratuity is that they do that for everyone, since they are understaffed. The manager explained a bit later when I wasn't buying the excuse from Drake that there is a 3% surcharge for the food for using a credit card. I said I get that, saw it on the menu, but I told him I was automatically charged a 20% tip, when the menu states that's for parties of 6 or more, not for 2 people. The manager had to void my first transaction. Drake put it in "accidentally" that we were a party of 20 instead of 2. Those zeros will get you. After the forced gratuity was removed, the bill total was $36.03.

Picture from the menu. Unbelievable. Disgusting. Won't be returning. The fact that management thought that this was okay...

I was craving fish and chips tonight. So I did a search on yelp and this place came up. I get here and it wasn't that busy but a decent amount of people. I ended up saddling up to the bar. I am assuming based on my receipt that the bartender was Rhonda. So my first impression of her was she asked me what I wanted to drink in the middle of me telling her she walks away. I thought that's kind of rude. She comes back and asks again. I orderer up the fish and chips. Spoiler alert. They were awful. The better on the fish was rock hard and the tartar sauce was pretty bland tasting. The fries and coleslaw were ok. But what made it even worse was they charge $17.00 for this awful fish and chips. Back to Rhonda she never came back to make sure everything was ok. She did come back after i was long done and eating to ask me if i wanted anything else. Just the bill.It's pretty safe to say I won't be back.

Looking for a place to eat in Clawson and I asked my friend who lives in Clawson where should we go and she suggested Tavern On the Main. The restaurant is at the tail end of the downtown Clawson area. The restaurant has its own private parking lot and it is free. There is a patio seating area and plenty of seating inside. Umbrellas are throughout the patio area to give relief from the sun. Walking into the restaurant smelt like an older building - musty kind of smell, but the inside is not old looking. The decor is very cute and updated but still has some older charm, like beams on the ceiling. The bathroom was tidy and also had a cute vanity and overall design. All of the staff were very friendly and our waitress was attentive. We were seated right away and sat out in the patio. I was impressed with the drink menu and the food prices were not too pricey. The menu was also a good size - not too big but not too small either with items to pick. I went with the appetizer coconut shrimp and added coleslaw/fries to it to make it a meal. I was happy with the shrimp and the dipping sauce was good but it was frozen - so not sure if the fridge was too cold or if the sauce is frozen? Coleslaw was fresh and fries were crunchy. My husband got a burger and he was happy with it - the cook of the burger was how he ordered it. I would recommend and I wish I lived closer because I would become a regular!

This is a nice place in downtown Clawson. It's outdoor/patio seating area is nice for summer evenings. I love their burgers and Greek Gyros . The atmosphere is laidback and the scenery is ok since it's facing the south side of Main St. However, it's quiet and nice enough for friends and family interested in getting together to chat and grab a bite together. Bonus: customers may select to pay via their phone by scanning a code that's printed on the bill, which makes for faster payment processing time. Overall, the food and atmosphere is decent enough that I plan on going back with a group of friends.

I've been to tavern on the main multiple times. They have a lot of delicious french fries, and I am also a big fan of their house made veggie burger, which is made out of cauliflower and quinoa. Service is always great. :)

the food came out fast, very filling and warm. i did not like how loud that place was, that's why i gave it 3 stars
