Tavern On the Square Salem Mass

Visiting Salem and stopped for a quick bite someplace new. Save your time and money. Ordered a Cobb salad ($ 15.99) and my friend orders the Buffalo Mac –n– Cheese.
For $ 16, I expected a nice-​sized salad artfully arranged or at least presented nicely. I got a small oval plate, five strips of chicken breast, four romaine cores, and some other sparse toppings. Bacon was nonexistent, corn was nonexistent, dressing was nonexistent. When our server (who never told us his name… and we didn’t bother to ask) came back to check in on us, I asked for a side of extra dressing to try and make the salad edible. He said ok and promptly walked away never to return. We watched him chat with a fellow server about 10 feet away for a while before he finally came and we asked for the check.
Too loud, not worth the price, and the service was meh.

Tavern is a chain restaurant with your typical American fare. We sat outside on the Square in the heart of downtown Salem. I ordered BBQ Turkey Tips with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans. We also ordered a flatbread pizza with red sauce and salad. The food and the service was fine. If you like alfresco dining in Salem Tavern does the trick!

Not worth the money for snack size dinner portions. Drinks are water downed. Don’t recommend, burgers are tiny, just go to burger king.

Last night it was my daughters birthday so we took her and a few friends for dinner. There were 6 of us. We have been here many times over the years and it has been great. Last night we were extremely disappointed! We started with the nachos. The nachos that we have had here before are a huge plate of chips covered with delicious cheese, tomatoes, etc. delish! Last night, we got a plate of chips with a little cheese melted with all of the other stuff on the side??? It was not nachos. .. it was chips with tomatoes/​sour cream on the side! We asked for guac, but they forgot to bring it.. . The boys that were with us all got the burgers. In the past, the burgers were so big they could be split between myself and my daughter.. . now the boys were done with their burgers within 5 minutes. They looked more like a 5 guys burger than a restaurant burger! My daughter and I had the «adult BLT» I have had it here before and I left saying it was one of the most delicious sandwiches I have had. Last night the bacon was barely cooked and soggy! Just not good! As far as the french fries, they used to give you a large serving of fries, last night the fries came in a tiny little tin. I had the waffle fries and there were 5 fries.. the regular fries were also very small. The kicker was.. .my son walking down the stairs this morning asking how much the bill was…we told him, and he said «not worth it, I’m never going there again!»
