Rating: 2/5 I visited this tavern expecting a pleasant, cozy atmosphere, but the experience was rather underwhelming. There was almost no music, and fout screens were showing sports. About 15 guests were quietly chatting, and although there were four staff members, they didn’t seem very attentive. Food: I ordered a grilled chicken and blue cheese sandwich, fries, and steamed broccoli with Parmesan. Unfortunately, the sandwich was a big disappointment: the chicken was dry, and the bread tasted cheap and bland. The broccoli was overcooked and falling apart — without the blue cheese, it would’ve been completely flavorless. The only thing that was truly great was the fries: not greasy, perfectly salted, and crispy. Service: I was given a dull knife that couldn’t cut even icecream if would want to, so I had to get up and ask for another one because no staff member was nearby. When I finished my meal, the waitress brought the bill without asking if I wanted anything else, which made me feel like they were eager to get rid of me. Unfortunately, during the day this place doesn’t feel nearly as good as it used to. If it weren’t for the fries, the rating would barely be a two. I might give it another chance in the evening, just to see if there’s still any of the atmosphere I enjoyed two years ago. Quality and quantity meal vs prize : score 2 of 5

Gordon Street Tavern continues to be a convenient and reliable spot, especially given its great location for anyone passing through the area or heading to nearby activities. On this visit, the food was generally solid, though not quite as consistent as past experiences. I ordered the turkey club, which has been a favorite of mine before, but this time it didn’t quite hit the same mark. It was still decent, just not as memorable as the last time I had it. That said, several other items held up well. The chicken tenders remain a standout—crispy, flavorful, and a dependable choice for anyone who likes classic comfort food done right. Their burgers continue to be strong across the board, and the mac and cheese and fries are reliably good, making them an easy side to recommend. The staff Matt (the owner) and Amanda (waitress) were excellent throughout the visit: friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. Their service definitely elevates the experience. Gordon Street Tavern also shines when it comes to drinks, offering a great selection of beers along with well-made cocktails, which adds to the overall atmosphere. While not every dish was perfect this time, the combination of strong service, good drinks, and convenient location keeps this tavern on my list.

This is a nice little spot, especially the table by the window. For having such an eclectic menu, everything tasted great and house made. There is a great craft beer selection as well. The portions were great for the reasonable price, and my server was attentive both times. I especially appreciated the 4 ounce ramekins of homemade ranch dressing, no need to ask for more! If I had to complain, which I'm not, I'd say it is a bit noisy and cozy, but that's not really something that can be fixed. I would also try to stick to the more American themed dishes as my partner has had better falafel, but for not being a Mediterranean restaurant it was still quality, and we ate it all! We will certainly be back and maybe try out the porch seating next time.
