Reviews for Tavern in the Square Shrewsbury in Boston, MA
Waiting time was tooooooooo long for the amount of people in there! We were waiting for appetisers (nachos!!!) 30-40 minutes... !!!! We’ve ordered nachos twice, and second time they didn’t bring salsa sauce saying “it’s not included”, when wesaid that it was included in our fist order — they’ve brought even 2 sauces. To be true — bad experience, bad attitude,won’t come again and can’t recommend! Bad quality for the price. Read more
This place is elite especially in the Allston area. The atmosphere is very lively every single night and especially on a... Thursday as the line to get in reaches the next street. Read more
I've visited this restaurant twice, my first time I had a burger that in all honesty didn't taste very good, but I just assumed... it was an off day. I decided to give this place a second chance on a Friday night with my girlfriend. We started off with theMac and cheese starter which was about the tastiest thing we had that night. Next we ordered an espresso burger and a friedchicken sandwich, what we received was attractive looking, but was lacking where the food actually mattered. The chicken in mysandwich was laughably thin, even with the breading on it! That chicken was thinner than the slice of tomato that was in thesandwich, even though it tasted o.k, but in the end we were left with an underwhelming and sticky experience from that chickenthat was drenched in what seemed to be super glue mixed with maple syrup. My girlfriend didn't even finish her burger, I tried abite and we both agreed it didn't taste like what we paid for. Our waiter and service was great, but at the end of the night Iwas apologizing to my girl for giving this place a second chance. If you want decent food at a decent price, don't come here. Read more
The food isn’t bad, I like just three things on the menu. this evening, the lady at the bar took my card “to start a tab”... although I was just having a meal. She gave me the receipt to sign and it wasn’t until I made it all the way back home (50miles away) before realizing the woman never gave me my card back. I called to speak to them regarding this and the lady whoanswered the phone transferred me to the manager. The manager on duty (JUSTIN) gave me major attitude and told me it’s all myfault and the fact that the woman did not give me my card back has everything to do with my responsibility, and absolutelyNOTHING TO DO with the staff. JUSTIN was extremely rude, condescending, did not offer anything as a resolution, but continued todown talk me and blame me for the lady not giving me back my card. He also laughed at me and told me “that’s too bad.” Hedid not even apologize for his staff’s mistake. I will spread the word about the horrible staff there - JUSTIN. I should havenever returned after my previous bad experience with poor customer service with a rude bartender and rude hostess, but I did,against my better judgment. I will never return there and I will advise everyone I know to steer clear of this awfulestablishment. It’s a shame because this place used to be cool awhile back, but definitely not anymore. JUSTIN is an awfulmanager with poor communication skills and an awful, absolutely terrible personality to match. I will escalate this matter tothe corporate office and GM. This location just lost tons of patrons solely because of justin. Read more
Loved the vibe here. You should try the BANG BANG BROCCOLI. It is literally the best appetizer and the best version of brocolli... I have had. I wish they had some vegetarian options for the main course. Everything else is good. You should visit this placeif you looking to chill with friends or if you want to watch a game Read more
Food was delicious! The only issue we had was no black tea and the doors didn't open til 10:01am. If you go, ask for Saveon as... she is the waitress from heaven! Please tip her well! Read more
My order: -Espresso Martini (a whole bunch of them) -Weihenstephaner (a really good German beer) -The Nachos (nothing added,... we’re not ballin’ here) -The Chicken Sandwich Truly I expected the worst of this place, but was pleasantly surprised.Mayhaps because it was on a Tuesday night, but it wasn’t crowded, drinks were okay, food was descent. Pro tip: make sure youscrape the cheese from the baking sheet that was melted and put it on top of your nachos before you begin eating them. Read more
usually love this bar. Such a great vibe, great drinks, awesome bartenders, etc. BUT this past weekend I went with some friends... and the bouncers were anything but nice. One of them was just so angry and was clearly taking it out on the people in line. Ireally wish I got his name. I understand drunk college kids can be annoying, but at this point in the evening, my friends weresober and we were being extremely polite. But, once I got into the bar, the vibes were great as always. the bouncers that werethere that night should work there. I am usually a very kind, patient and understanding customer at places but this man wasyelling at my friend and I, putting us both on the verge of tears. absolutely ridiculous. Read more
