Its a tavern/ sports bar / restaurant. Its got something for everyone. The food is really good. There's a large bar with dozens of beers on draft plus mixed drinks and also lots of seating. I've been several times and really enjoy everything about it. On weekends they have brunch. It can get crowded which is a sign of its popularity. Definitely check this place out!
I love this place; it's huge but feels homey. We actually went here on New Year's Eve. I waited too long to make reservations at Ruth's Chris, so we ended up here instead. Hey, I saved 200 bucks, and we had great meals. I had the steak tips, cooked medium, with broccoli and garlic mashed. They were cooked to perfection and tasted delicious with the house marinade. My wife had General Gau's chicken over jasmine rice. She said it tasted great. My son had the kids' steak tips, and my daughter had the chicken fingers and fries. They both were pleased. All four meals were great; you cannot go wrong with Tavern on the Square.
Great food and drinks! Sat at the bar with my husband and our bartender Erin was great! Also want to give props to the brunette server who I believe is named Paige. We saw her running around dealing with different tables and she handled it with grace!!! Will absolutely be coming again (and requesting Paige to be our server)
First time enjoying Tavern in the Square and the experience and food were amazing. Had the Bayou Chicken Pasta at the recommendation of our server, Jennifer, and it was incredible! Both meals ordered were big enough for two meals. 5-star all around!
Had a great birthday dinner at Tavern in the Square. The fried pickles and guacamole were the perfect start, and the crispy ranch chicken sandwich with tater tots hit the spot!
Such a great experience here! The bang bang broccoli and guacamole were phenomenal — full of flavor and perfectly prepared. We also tried the mango chile margarita and the Boss margarita, and they were absolutely yummy! Sweet, tangy, and a little spicy — just perfect. The atmosphere is fun and lively, and the staff were really friendly, making the whole evening smooth and enjoyable. Everything felt fresh and thoughtfully made, from the appetizers to the drinks. We can’t wait to come back, try more of the menu, and enjoy another round of those amazing margaritas. Definitely one of our new favorite spots!
Made a reservation for a business luncheon and everything was spot on. Our server was incredibly thoughtful and the entire experience was memorable. Delicious food and drinks, neat space and a modern vibe.
Stopped into Tavern in the Square in Shrewsbury late at night after a Holy Cross hockey game, and it was the perfect place to wind down. Even at a late hour, the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel relaxed and easy. It’s always impressive when a restaurant keeps that level of service late into the evening. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. The menu has a great variety, so it’s easy to find something satisfying after a long day. The atmosphere strikes a great balance — lively but still comfortable. If you’re in Shrewsbury and looking for a great late-night spot with good food and strong service, Tavern in the Square is a great choice.
We decided stop in, sat at a table at the bar and we're greeted by a very friendly bartender, Danielle. She was very attentive and offered up some great drink suggestions. We went with the Downeaster Pumpkin Cider with the cinnamon rim that was so fresh! We ordered some handhelds and were both very happy with our food. I would happily order the chicken burrata handheld sandwich. Great, drinks, food and service!
It's a great restaurant! Food great. Service great. My niece brings us here regularly and I enjoy it every time we go. We typically have large party but nothing they can't handle. Give lots of credit to server last night. Sadly forgot his name. He double checked the order w everyone with it being a large one which was great move on his part! Keep up great work everyone! Wish there was a location to the West in Mass
