A great place to stop for a beer and a bite to eat in downtown Garland.
Great selection of bar food standards. My wife and I had comfort foods today. She had chicken pot pie. I had shrimp, sausage and grits. They were definitely homemade and were delicious (kudos to Josie!)

Super chill atmosphere. Food is great and drinks are affordable and great. Dorothy and Ashley are just fantastic bartenders. Always super friendly, happy to help and extremely personable. Definitely my new favorite regular haunt. I got wings and they were big and delicious!

Small local bar on a corner of a beautiful old downtown garland. Right in front of the park with tables outside, small, local, affordable drinks, most of the times I’ve gone there have been after work. The bartenders have been amazing every time, friendly , helpful and attentive every time. I tried the nachos once and they were so good. Will keep coming back in the future. Chill, good location and affordable prices would be the things I like from this Tavern.

I really enjoy this small eatery. We’ve never been rushed and the food is consistently good. Wide range of menu items, so everyone in your group should find something to please their palate. One note, regarding their Ahi Tuna salad plate. Their Ahi Tuna salad plate is served raw rather than rare as stated in the menu. The owner was kind enough to have the kitchen lightly sear the tuna, which made it perfect for me!

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 absolutely be back.

What a gem! We stumbled across Tavern on the Square purely by accident. We travel every weekend and always seek a locally owned bar / restaurant to work. This was our 4th stop as we were seeking a non smoking establishment. So happy that we landed here! Leesa was our server and she could not have more gracious, friendly and attentive! The food was spectacular! Highly recommend the Texas Twinkies! Everything we ordered was delicious & presented beautifully .. We will definitely return in our future travels to Dallas!

We recently visited Tavern on the Square, and unfortunately, it wasn’t quite what we expected. We thought it would be more of a restaurant, but it turned out to be more of a bar atmosphere.
When we arrived, the first thing we noticed was unfinished Halloween decorations piled in a corner, which made the space look messy and disorganized. Our first waitress seemed overwhelmed trying to manage several bar customers at once, so it took longer than expected to get our menus and drinks.
My husband ordered a premium Old Fashioned made with Maker’s Mark, I ordered a Whiskey Lemon Drop, and our son had a Roy Rogers. The first round of drinks was decent, but my husband’s Old Fashioned was very sweet, and he could barely taste the bourbon. When we ordered a second round (after a shift change), the new bartender told us they were out of Maker’s Mark and had to use a different whiskey. That made my husband feel like he was underserved on the first drink since it seemed they were already running low on the bourbon he specifically ordered and paid extra for.
Before the shift change, we also ordered a Jäger bomb, and the first waitress seemed unsure how to serve it—she even asked us how we wanted it, which was awkward since it’s a standard bar drink. It didn’t give us much confidence that she knew her way around the bar.
We ordered the dip sampler appetizer, which came with guacamole, salsa, cheesy beans, and brisket queso with tortilla chips. It was okay—nothing special. My husband had the club sandwich with homemade chips, which was fine but not memorable. My son had an Italian hot sub with fries that was also just average.
I ordered the roast beef hoagie with au jus and sweet potato fries. Before I ordered, the waitress told me it was one of the best sandwiches on the menu—but it turned out to be the worst thing we had. The onions were barely cooked and crispy instead of caramelized, and the meat was rubbery and tasted like plain deli roast beef. The sweet potato fries were the only part I really enjoyed.
To top it off, when we tried to tip our first waitress before she ended her shift, she refused it in a rude and dramatic way—walking all the way back to our table to return the money and making a scene in front of other customers. It was uncomfortable and unprofessional.
Overall, the food was mediocre, the service inconsistent, and the atmosphere disorganized. This place might be fine if you’re just stopping by for a drink, but it’s not somewhere I’d recommend for a sit-down meal.

If you’re retired and want a quiet atmosphere during the weekday, this is for you. Otherwise, prepare to be bored and wait a long time for the waitress to take your order or give you more drinks. This place used to be nice, but seems like they are trying to save by only have one person running the entire main area. I support local businesses, but this was a let down.

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 BurgerHut in Wylie!
