VERY DISAPPOINTED!! Tavern on Main has been our go to for years and we always loved it. Today's visit changed that for good. Most definitely will not be going back. This was our first time there since the change of mgmt. and couldn't have been more disappointed. I ordered the fried haddock and was unable to eat most of it due to it being FULL of bones! The peas were cold, and as for the baked potato, it was also cold and most of the inside of the potato was brown. My husband ordered a seafood dish which also arrived lukewarm at best. We ordered a cup of N.E. clam chowder as well which was basically a cup of floured milk with a few potatoes and clams and the flavor was extremely lacking. I mentioned the issue of the bones in the fish to our server (who was the only good part of our visit) and he said he was going back to inform the kitchen only to come back out with our bill and put it on the table. I had not asked for a discount on the bill (although it should have been immediately offered) and there was also no offer to remove the charge for the fish dinner. The manager couldn't even be bothered to come out to our table to talk to us. The restaurant was NOT busy at all so no excuse. This was rude and showed only to be completely unapologetic and insensitive to the issue. Sadly, this historic and once wonderful restaurant is not even close to what it once was.👎

I have never once had a bad meal here. The regular menu, the specials, everything is phenomenol, my favorite is the pecan chicken or steak tips. Besides the excellent food, the staff is great; friendly and accomadating. I love that the historic aspects have remained and adds to the overall appeal. Whether coming here for date night, a family meal, or with friends, this is always on top of our list.

The whole place is amazing. The atmosphere, the food, the price, the location and most of all the quality. My favorite place!

I love everything about Tavern on Main. This has been my favorite RI restaurant for years, and I always recommend them, even when I don’t live in the state! Excellent service, delicious food in huge portions, and a priceless atmosphere. I love historical buildings so that’s just a bonus for me!
Stopped in for some soup to wam up. We got the chowder and stuffies and it was excellent! Highly recommend. Love the vibe of the antique place. Perfect for spookie season. Gotta get back for the prime rib!!

Special place. Such a cool 1800s place with a lot of character. Quaint, haunted, charming. Really good time, beautiful drive. My family & I had a great time celebrating my birthday there. It’s so cool. We’ll definitely go back again.
Have been going by this place for years. Always looked closed and scary. My brother told me they were great. Guess what he was right! One of our favorite restaurants now.

I love this place! It's a treat to go & every time I do it seems to just get better! The food is ALWAYS amazing & the staff is so friendly (my husband is a lil crazy, but they don't care...they just joke around with us & treat everyone like family)! Best restaurant around ❤️

Great little old fashion tavern food. They nailed it here and never changed. Very refreshing in a landscape of trendy and chain restaurants these days.
