Squan Tavern

I’ve had Squan Tavern many times to-go but this was my first time eating there. My girlfriend and I asked to sit outside, which I’m not sure if that was an annoyance to our server or if she was just having a bad day but she made it known that she was bothered. We got the Burrata Caprese Salad, a Pepperoni Pizza and a Gluten Free Plain Pizza as my girlfriend has Celiac. The salad and regular pizza were great. The gluten free however was clearly a pre-packaged frozen dough and after calling to check if they had gluten free pizza prior to going they said “yes we do, everyone says it’s great!” only to find out it wasn’t so great. Will definitely be back, but our server and the gluten free snafu were a bummer.

The Squan Tavern has been a family favorite for many years so when we stopped for lunch today we were looking forward to a great meal. It wasn’t, the sandwich Special” was a chicken cutlet with lettuce, tomato and bacon. The sandwich and side of onion rings came out of the kitchen over cooked/ burned. Our server checked in well into the meal but by then my husband started eating the roll and the lettuce! He was starving. The server sent a manager to the table who apologized and assured us a new order would come right out. We had to get home so the sandwich was wrapped to go. Imagine the surprise when we got home and it was the completely wrong sandwich with half the amount of chicken on the last inedible one and we paid $14 for a new one!

Third and last stop for today's Tavern Pizza Tour!!! Another First Time visit!!! Last Supper was a small Antipasto and yes another Margarita Pizza for consistency for scoring. Asked for it to be crisp and when it arrived it was hot, crispy and nicely charred. It was a pleasant eating - taste experience, but there was something missing. The sauce depending on the bite had a different degree of sweetness and the amount of basil or lack of taste of of basil was a disappointment. Had to add a little salt, pepper and garlic to up the taste. It was still overall a good 🍕!!!
