Sandwich Taverna

Must second the last review!!! We had been here a number of times before and have never been disappointed — it was exquisite!!! We had the BBQ Chicken pizza and that was great but the Spicy North End fuhgeddaboudit — a must have — now I don’t think I’ll ever order pizza anywhere else!!! Two large — BOGO free for $ 18

Definitely go on a Tuesday-​everything on the menu except pizzas (and specials menu) are ½ price. Burger was unmemorable but steak tips where delish and cooked perfectly! Wine was inexpensive and they fill your glass. Keno in the bar and restaurant is great but can’t always see the tv-​I think that’s why they have a ticket check machine. Wednesday’s they are doing all pasta dishes ½ price-​we tried the shrimp scampi and it was good.

Really disappointed! The jumbo wings were the tiniest we have ever been served at a restaurant. Chili was… just as good as canned, the angus burgers lacked any kind of flavorful impression, medium rare came out med well! The restrooms … No paper towels or functioning air dryer in the ladies room, the stall door had no lock on it and the seat was loose… even my husband commented to me how discussing the men’s room was! The server was nice but was the only one on shift so she really didn’t have time to check on us during our meal or refil our drinks. Sorry Sandwich Taverna… I was so looking forward to a great dining experience and you really let us down.

I wouldn’t even give this place any stars but it makes you choose something. The owner is a complete dick. The bartenders are rude. The food is absolutely horrible. How are they in business. Don’t go here if you are looking for a nice family restaurant and expect reasonable service.

Some of the other reviews on here are quite intimidating as far as people not having a good experience… I’ve never had anything but beer and pizza here, which is probably a hard thing to screw up.
I’ve been here three times, once was a night out with friends, another was with my husband, children, and another family, and just recently my husband and I came here some beers and to watch the Pats playoff game. Other than the shocking price for the beers ($ 15 bucks for two beers???) we had a good time.
I’m not sure what is to be expected as far as atmosphere, it’s style is kind of all over the place — surf boards, drumsets, a t-​shirt hanging from the ceiling, and some western stuff — but whatever. One thing that is kinda gross is that all of the exposed ventilation and décor that is up high is super dusty…

One of the most hopping restaurants/​bars in sandwich, but that isn’t saying much. It’s always a good mix of young and old, and there is usually a live band playing which are both pluses. Food is always decent, but never anything spectacular. Burgers, pizza, appetizers, salads are always satisfying but I personally wouldn’t choose the fancier options other than on Tuesdays when the entire menu is half price. Their buffalo chicken mac and cheese is probably my favorite entrée on the menu and worth a try.
Drinks are pricey, but they always seem to have some sort of deal going on which can make it more reasonable.
Overall, just another small town local joint with average eats and lots of liquor. Welcome to the Sandwich high school reunion.

Bad experience with the manager. Arrived at 5:45 with a party of eight.
One of our party ordered a steak rare and it arrived well done. This person rarely (if ever) sends food back so it had to be very over cooked.
The wait staff checked on the table and was told the steak was well done. She apologized and a hamburger was ordered instead.
The manager then comes to the table and proclaimed the steak was fine and proceeded to use the knife and fork of the customer to slice into the steak and once again proclaim it was fine. It was not.
The table next to us had the same situation with a steak ordered rare that came well done but he was too embarrassed to complain after what our table experienced.
I feel sorry for the waitstaff. They work very hard with no support from management.
We are locals and will not go back.

Friendly waitstaff, delicious burgers, ginormous nachos and no wait made for a fabulous meeting place for long time friends to reunite!

This kitchen is bitttchhinnnnnn
Went on a Tuesday night with brother and sister and found out it was half price menu (except the pizzas. which when in MA. stay far, far away from their pizza if you are a NY-​er…) and also we were in time for the Happy Hour. I always forget that Mass doesnt discount liquor so instead you buy two drinks and get a free app. I’m cool with that!
The calamari and mixed trio app were the usual, not special or taste bud blowing but still mighty good. I’m not going to judge on basic apps. The first cosmo I got gave me an eye twitch. Holy Franny Freehand with the vodka! I’m not complaining about a strong drink– i’ll take that any day over a weakling. The $ 7 New Amsterdam fruity cosmos are the way to go. Huge martini glass too.
Bro had to try the buffalo mac n cheeeeeee and oh my hot damn, it was DOOOOPE! So cheesy and fat and delicious and atery clogging and mmmmmm! Bartender guy slash part time cook, was hella friendly and fun. and cute
Seems like a locals type bar as there were many 40+ peeps up in thur on a Tuesday night. No complaints from any of us tho. We ate and drank til we were almost comatose for under $ 25 a person! I will most def be returning next year or if I can manage another trip to the Cape again in 2015

Well, the «fresh bread»
Was more like a toasted hot dog roll with oregano on it. It came without butter, but some weird sauce I thought better not to try. The place looked southwest, so I would assume Mexican fare, but it was American with pizzas and burgers on the menu. Ordered a $ 12 bacon cheeseburger, it was good. But the «boneless wings» we also ordered were just spicy chicken tenders. Overall ok.

My boyfriend and I were staying in sandwich and stopped in for a quick dinner date here, although the new server messed up my order, the food was delicious and the staff were friendly!

Ordered chicken and a baked potato. Couldn’t cut into either one with a steak knife. The waiter was attentive and took care of it, so I can’t complain about the service, but I go to restaurants to eat good food, so… skip it. Blah.

Sandwich Taverna has an extremely friendly staff who are willing to help with anything you need. My bacon cheeseburger was cooked to perfection and was well accented by the golden onion rings. Every bite was absolutely fabulous. The atmosphere was very clean and not too noisy. If you are near Sandwich, Massachusetts near the beginning of Cape Cod, you must try this place.

Paid $ 10.96 for a garden salad that was on your website for $ 5.99. When I asked about the price jump, hostess stated the website was wrong. Uh, first UPDATE your website prices. Second, who pays $ 11 for a take out salad with no meat!!! I won’t be back!

See the pic of the Buffalo Mac N Cheese and you won’t wonder why 5 Stars isn’t enough of a rating for this place!!! Great service, nice décor, good portions for a Lunch item. Keep up the great work guys! Tell Thanos that Dan the Aramark guy sent you!!!

Spent Thanksgiving up in Cape Cod, spent the Friday after walking around Chatham and decided to get some grub on the way home. We got here about 3PM on Friday, so there was only one table seated, bar was 80% full. May be best to take it area by area then by entrée.
Service — nice lady named Jeanne — no complaints. The beers never hit empty because she was on her game. Polite banter, and the food came out in a timely fashion, so the kitchen did it’s thing as far as service goes as well.
Beer — cold and delicious, good selection. I’d come here for the beer again.
Atmosphere — what I would want a bar to be. Alot of wood, random stuff on the walls, great vibe. And if you’re inclined to sit for some food, there are alot of booths. Also had a popcorn machine, which was a cool touch.
Cost — right where I expected them to be, it’s the off-​season and they need to keep the lights on without over-​doing it.
Food — let’s go by entrée:
Beef Soup — it was the soup of the day, I’m sure it had a catchier title, but I don’t remember it. Brutal. Overkill on the bouillon or whatever they are using to make it. Tasted light and watery, with heavy bouillon. The soup never had a chance to thicken up slightly or get a taste of the beef. There were a couple unidentifiable pieces we hoped were beef. Girlfriend made it through about ¼ of it.
Garden Salad with Balsamic Glaze on the side — difficult to screw up a salad, but they managed it. Hard, dried out lettuce and cucumbers with a heavy balsamic syrup. Syrup remained untouched; we were able to eat the tomatoes.
Pancetta Macaroni & Cheese — somehow worse than the above, and the saddest excuse for mac and cheese I’ve ever seen. It’s mac and cheese folks — not hard. The pancetta was a notch above raw, the cheese sauce wasn’t nearly thick enough, tasteless and room temperature to boot. I could have dealt with the Penne pasta choice if the rest wasn’t so terrible. Fry up the pancetta so it browns up, thicken up the sauce, get some elbow macaroni (or another similar choice that’s not gigantic) and place it in a crock with sometime in the oven so it browns up lightly.
Need a cold beer in a cool atmosphere; this can be your place. Just don’t eat.

Terrible service from the manager/​owner/​clown-​in-​charge. Our table was hassled when a friend asked if he could sub white rice for anything healthier. He was asked what the problem is like we did something wrong. The level of disrespect in his tone and approach is beyond belief.

Great onion rings! Cold beer and very friendly staff, keep us coming back to this «my favorite bar» kind of place. There is alway a game on and often local entertainment. For a casual dinner and a small town atmosphere head over to the Taverna

Wow, what a hoppin’ country place in Sandwich. As we sat tonight, they were setting up the mechanical bull and looking for people to give it a ride. We actually got here kind of late at 7:30, with no one here and watched the place completely fill in the next hour and a half as they got it all together.
I know I need to talk about the food, which was truly truly outstanding. I had the pork chops with just the BBQ sauce they make here, just really amazing. Rebecca chose the Baja pork chops and they were also just completely amazing, I was able to have a quick taste between the two and just could not believe how perfect both were.
Ok, so the pork chops had mashed potatoes, mine actually with double. They were perfect, just outstanding.
This was really a great spot, comes at you with a complete shock and will hopefully stay for a long time in the memory here, will have to get back soon!

A great local place with lots of American flair.
Know what you’re ordering though, and don’t sit by the door.
Simply fantastic pancetta mac’n’cheese. Simply terrible calamari. A very lovely Southwestern salad that doesn’t seem all too southwestern, actually. I’m also a fan of their pulled pork sandwich, as well as their clam chowder.
About that pancetta mac’n’cheese though… perfectly cooked pasta mixed with a marvelous blend of cheeses in a perfectly creamy sauce tossed with tender, flavourful pancetta. It was absolutely delightful, and so unexpected from a place like this!
The calamari — definitely frozen. Definitely rubber-​like. Definitely a NEVER order. Even the marinara couldn’t save it. No sauce could.
The bar scene is great and they often have live music/​DJ/​karaōke. They typically have a seasonal Cape Cod Beer on tap too which is awesome! Sandwich is kind of a sleepy little place and it’s hard to find much nightlife, so this is a wicked plus. We’ve never had AMAZING waitstaff, but never had TERRIBLE waitstaff either.
All in all, it’s a solid choice.
