Owen's Tavern & Garden

Stopped in for a late brunch on a Sunday afternoon with a friend. Owen's is located a little off the beaten path in pike & rose up some stairs & behind the sushi place. They have a cute outdoor dining area with heaters and tables. There were limited bar seats available and lots of high tops to choose from. The interior is dimly lit with dark wood accents. It felt like an upscale sports bar walking inside. We sat at the bar and ordered specialty drinks, espresso martini ($13) and passion Aperol spritz ($13) both were delicious. The Aperol was light and the martini wasn't too heavy and wasn't too sweet either. One of the best ones I've ever tasted!We got the calamari and the chicken sliders. Both are appetizers and both were must haves! The sliders were crispy and even though they're listed as spicy they definitely were not. I was disappointed we only got 3, as I could have eaten way more! The calamari batter was crisped to perfectly and perfectly salted. The bartender made sure to round on us often. They have TVs playing the games and the bathrooms were very clean. I'm excited to come back and try their creamy burrata which was unfortunately out of stock when we were there. I highly recommend Owen's tavern if you're in the area & looking for something new!

So many draft beer options. Everyone in our group was able to find something they could enjoy. The garlic bread pizza caught my eye and I'm glad it did. It was absolutely delicious. Everyone in our group enjoyed our food and being able to sit outside.

Came here for happy hour and was highly satisfied with my cider cocktail and chicken parm sliders (which are the same as the awesome Caruso's dish) with vodka sauce. Services is efficient and friendly , and plenty of seating space in the bar area. Highly recommend !

Located in the Pike & Rose area by the garage and the "back side" of the main street. It's a bar restaurant with a divide between the bar with additional tables and booth seatings and the restaurant. The restaurant side can get busy and have a wait, but the bar area is open seating, so just grab a table and booth and you can still order the food. Ambiance was as expected, casual and a bit cozy with warm lighting. Service can be hit or miss. Sometimes I have to keep asking for more water or get none at all. Been here a few times in large groups or on a date for a drink. Good for just grabbing a drink and you can still hold a conversation. I'm mainly here cause they open later or other places are packed. If you take it for what it is (a bar restaurant), then it's a 3. If you want to compare it to the rest of the restaurants in the surrounding area, then it's a 2. But I like to put things in relative terms, so I'll give it a 3.

Had perhaps the worst service here about 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure what was up because it was not busy for a Saturday night. I went as a group of 5. Three of our burger orders came out missing their toppings, and when we asked them to be fixed, they didn't fix them correctly. When we pointed it out, rather than apologize for taking our orders wrong, our waitress claimed that we didn't order properly the first time...We also all ordered our burgers cooked medium rare, and they were borderline well done. Heed the negative reviews... there are other options in the area.

Very interesting beer selection! Worth the visit just for the beer list.Ambiance is actually pretty nice inside if here from the beer tap to the lights. Service was pretty decent besides one awkward moment but overall good.The food was a let down. Had the pizza and wings and i would pass on that in the future. So great place to grab a beer but i would be cautious on the food front.

We couldn't get a seat at Caruso's tonight so we sat the Owen's Ordinary bar. I usually have a great experience but tonight makes me not want to come back. Our bartender "server", Erin, was inattentive, indifferent, and didn't respond to us asking for to go boxes. Instead she just grabbed the check over our food and counted her tips. Please expect more from your wait staff..

So, an important update to my previous review, regarding the sneaky thing that restaurants think it's okay to do nowadays: adding a 20% tip to the check by default PLUS an additional 3% for the back of the house. I handed my check right back to the server, told him to remove both of the charges, and I tipped what I thought was appropriate - something I encourage all of you to have the courage to do. The restaurant business is all about hospitality, but this concept seems to have been lost on the owners. Just pay your workers what they deserve and raise the prices accordingly. Will I go back after this experience? Not a chance.

I came to Owen's Ordinary on a Sunday afternoon for brunch with a friend. The restaurant is located in Pike & Rose shopping center. Parking is a nightmare on the weekends so factor that in if you plan on making it to a reservation time! We made a reservation for outside seating and were seated immediately when we arrived. I ordered the Shrimp Tacos which comes with Avocado Mousse, Shredded Lettuce, Pico de Gallo and Calabrian Chile Aioli. The tacos were delicious, huge shrimps that were perfectly breaded. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly the food came out, it was fresh as if right off the stove. The staff were attentive and polite. This was my first time at Owen's Ordinary as there are so many options in Pike & Rose, but after this exceptionally positive experience I plan to come back soon! :)

The chicken mac and cheese was delicious, burger was nothing special, and the calamari was not that good. Food took quite a bit to come out and overall service was not great. Had to keep asking for water and check. Nice indoor and outdoor seating, overall 3.5/5 stars
