Tavern on the Square — Restaurant in Garland

We were looking for something new and happened across Tavern on the Square- this place is unassuming but an absolute gem that I'm so glad we found.

Everything looked good on the menu so I asked the waitress for recommendations. She was so kind in pointing out options on various parts of the menu (from salads to starters to sandwiches). My husband got a burger and I got the turkey club sandwich, both were excellent as was the follow-up service. The presentation was also, unexpectedly, beautiful.

The food isn't the only thing that stood out though. You could tell this was a neighborhood establishment and what I loved most was that we walked in off the street, clearly never having been there before, and everyone talked to us. They were friendly and welcoming and happy to tell us about the history of the bar as well as about some of the regulars.

They told us about music bingo, nights with different specials, community involvement, and about the chef who had been with the catering facility 17 years. It had such a welcoming and small-town feel, we will...

Most likely will not return .. waited over an hour for my food on my lunch break... there was only 3 customers at the restaurant. I left because after an hour my food was still not ready.. I was late for work .. I placed an online order at another restaurant to deliver my food at my job ... I will say the waitress was very nice . I feel like they may need to hire more staff because she was doing everything it seemed.. I had no choice but to cancel my order and leave because I had to get back to work.. she did send my food with my co workers who stayed and waived my bill .. I thought that’s was nice but now I had already placed an online order that I couldn’t cancel because it was on the way . So I ended up saving one order for dinner.. if anything I will definitely call in my order an hour prior to arriving if I decide...

I think I was served by Vicky! She was amazing and switched out the cheese in my cheeseburger from American cheese to pepper jack cheese. I came on a Tuesday so my cheeseburger was only $6.50. I asked for no tomato or pickle and they kindly left anything beyond the meat and cheese off of the burger. The meat wasn’t well seasoned and the cheese didn’t melt all the way. As I ate some of the burger I was just disappointed. The fries were ok but for $5, you barely get any fries.

The service was exceptional! I gave it 2 stars for the service, it would have been 1 star for the meal if it wasn’t for the exceptional service!

I’m not a big burger fan but if you’re looking for a really good burger, check out the Jalapeno Cargado burger at...
