Tavern in the Square Burlington

I signed up for the loyalty program a Tavern in the Square in Burlington, but too late to get a free app during my birthday month. They did, however, send me a $10 off voucher, good for only three days. Update: 02/01/18 I just got notified of a free birthday appetizer.

I have never been to any of their locations. They have a dedicated parking area. I think the sign needs some maintenance.

Big bar with lots of high tops, and bar seating.

This is the more formal dining area.

I picked the 3S Rib Platter (18) with grilled street corn, garlic mashed, slaw, house pickles. The 3S stands for Sweet, Sticky and Spicy. They missed the spicy part. The ribs were really tasty with a bit of bark, but they were dry, and there was a lot of end pieces that are mostly collagen. They still tasted really good. No smoke flavor at all, but they don't claim to be BBQ ribs. The grilled street corn was really good and well seasoned. Only a few grill marks on the bottom. The mash was outstandingly good and tasty. Not sure why they serve mash with ribs? Fries that could be picked up would have been more appropriate. The slaw was interesting and on the tangy side. It also had sliced onions in it. Unfortunately, it was really big rings, so you ended up with really onionly bites.

There is an "outside" seating area for when the weather is warmer. My leftovers were nicely packaged in a recyclable container, but not all the ribs made it, and the slaw was also missing.
