Very nice place. Service was good and so was the food. Only criticism was the noise level of the music. Made it a bit difficult to have a conversation.

The bayou pasta was delicious and a generous portion. The margaritas were excellent…only wish they were more generous portions for the price. Definitely worth checking out! All staff and servers were friendly and attentive.

Loved the remodel of the space and the vibe. The menu was great, particularly for gluten and vegan options. The food took FOREVER. We sat at 12:55 and didn’t have our food until 2:30pm. This included kids meals. Server seemed a bit annoyed we asked after being very patient for an hour. When the food did come it didn’t even seem super hot. Seems like it sat. We will go back and hope for better experience as food was good and place was cool.

This was out first visit. We weren't at all familiar with the type of restaurant this was - lots of sports on TVs, very loud atmosphere. We went for the Veterans Day offer so there were many "older" diners in what we would call a younger crowd where sports enthusiasts are the norm. The menu was varied enough but pricey for what it was. The herb topped salmon $27 was on the small side with diced root vegetables. I would have expected something more sizable, maybe with potato or rice for this price. The Beyond Burger was quite large but an upcharge for it (as compared to a meat burger) and the plant based cheese (sprinkled on top of the burger and not melted) was also an upcharge. The Guiness beer was $8.50/glass for a smallish glass (I know, this isn't Ireland so it wasn't a full pint).Nice server, but she wasn't at all familiar with our asking about vegan options. She seemed a bit new to the menu herself, and wasn't quite able to point out anything else for us other than two apps and the Beyond Burger. Overall I would give this place a "meh" rating. I may go back if others in our group want to try it. Otherwise, not my favorite - been there, done that.

This was our first visit to Tavern on the Square and we really enjoyed it. The waitress was great and attentive. It took a while for the drinks to come out. The Talk Tiki To Me drink was very good. Steak tip entree was delicious and very tender. My husband liked the side dish of brussel sprouts. Open Table reservations are highly suggested in advance, especially on a weekend night.

The restaurant uses every square inch for diners, and the result is a noisy and cramped dining experience. The wait staff seemed overworked and didn't have time to be very attentive (and couldn't hear when you tried to get their attention). It was okay, but I doubt we would go back.

We had a 3:00 reservation. We were seated right away. After 10 minutes and a little confusion on the wait staff our waitress came over. We ordered drinks and placed our food order. My husbands drink was brought 10 minutes later. After 20 minutes my husband asked the waitress where my glass of wine was. 15 minutes after that it was served to the table. I asked for a Caesar salad with my dressing on the side. I ordered a turkey burger plain with nothing but onions. When it FINALLY came salad was loaded with dressing and the burger had everything on it. Very disappointed. The waitress did take my meal off the bill as she realized the wait for drinks and the dinner being totally wrong. She tried to make good on our meal but I will never go back to Tavern In The Square in Framingham. The service was terrible and it was early afternoon. Cannot imagine if it were dinner time. Shrewsbury is so much better. So I guess we will take the extra time to drive there.

The food and drinks are good. There is a wide selection of both. The service is good. The decor is like Yard House. It's a very large, open space with a rectangular bar in the middle, with lots of TVs. The main problem is that it is very loud, too loud to have conversation across the table. We were there on a Friday night, so presumably at less busy times noise would not be a problem.

The crab and shrimp cake was good, if a little bland. The pretzels were awesome but next time (and there will be a next time!) I'll ask them to skip the cheese goop on the side and give me honey mustard. Bang Bang Broccoli is one of my all-time favorite starters ever, anywhere. My companion had a very delicious chicken meal. If there's any doubt of whether or not I like this place, I had dinner at the Wrentham location earlier in the week and suggested it both times. The only negative -- both locations are LOUD.

Enjoyed a relaxed meal with friends. Service was very good. Food also very good. Great beer selection. The restaurant was busy (6pm) with people waiting. Noise level on a Saturday night was tolerable, but made it a little difficult to hear too. This was my second time to this Tavern location. I think we'll be back!

Our server, Bruno, was outstanding. He was respectful and very attentive. Food was what we would think of as pub food...I had a burger - it was great. The fried pickle app was also great. We were there on a Thursday at 5 pm, so I don't know how loud or packed it would be later at night or on a weekend. However, it was pretty busy. Also...good parking and easy to find. I had a very yummy Mango Margarita - recommend. Prices were reasonable. I highly recommend. Fun place to go and hang out. We never felt rushed.
