10. The Central Tavern
The Central Tavern provides the Greater Milford community a warm and inviting gathering place to encourage building long lasting relationships, while serving inspired food and drink.
Reviewed By bostondave11
The Central Tavern is a nice local restaurant/bar with a large square bar area, a table seating area, and a real stage for the local bands they have in on weekends. They have one pool table and lots of TV's. It's large enough so that if you don't want to be right next to the live band, you can hang out at the bar. But if you want to be in the action, there is a dance floor in front of the medium size stage and tables behind the dance floor area. The pool table and a counter with bar stools if off to the side of the stage, so you can watch the band and still have a conversation. There is on-street parking as well as free off-street parking across the street. If you are in the area, I'd recommend checking them out. You can see the band listings on their website.

We've been here several times in the past 6 months and notice the quality of lunch food has declined while the prices have stayed high. So much more was expected and hoped for at this location. Service is average but the noise level, even when half full is not good. Booze is very pricey and they always push the top shelf. Hi Lydia, I think you have the wrong restaurant. All of the things you have mentioned in your review are not true. We have installed noise panels about 1 and 1/2 years ago. We have since had great reviews about noise levels. ( especially during lunch). We also donât push top shelf We have many drinks that are priced inline with our competitors same goes for our food prices. We are priced inline with restaurants with similar concepts we are a scratch kitchen so costs are higher therefore we need to price appropriately. Please take a look at the restaurant name as I feel you are reviewing the wrong establishment. Thx

The burgers and chicken burgers are great here. They always have a wonderful selection of brews and wines (it's right next to a really nice wine/brew shop).The main waitress there is super sweet and always gives great service.There's an italian restaurant right next to this one and Bison Burger's bar is just as nice and usually not as packed. Great spot to watch a game too!

We were excited to try Civic for its focus on being farm to table. We were surprised to learn that it is the clubhouse restaurant at a local golf course. This didn't dissuade us, but we aren't accustomed to eating out on the links.The atmosphere is clean if a bit spartan. Located in an old house, the walls have been rearranged to create large openings, but the tables in the dining room are split up and you can tell that there were multiple first floor rooms in this old home. The walls are decorated with antique photos from Westborough, which create a local interest. The floors are hardwoord and there are austere blinds on the windows. Thus, the dining room is a bit noisy as the sound ricochets off the hard surfaces. Needless to say, we could hear each other fine but we want to note it for those who may be sensitive to this.The cocktail program was intriguing. They covered their bases on all spirits, but bourbon and gin drinkers had multiple options. The wine list was adequate but a bit limited on options by the glass. They have multiple craft beers offered.The menu is diverse and they highlight their sources, which include multiple local farms for both meat as well as vegetables. We love this about them.The smoked gouda mac and cheese was a nice twist on the original. The arancini had a nice, fall spiciness to them. The scallops were perfectly seasoned and cooked. The spaetzel underneath was adorned with fresh winter vegetables and felt very light and healthy, even though it is winter. There was a buttery vinaigrette on it, however, the flavor was so delicate it was not noticeable. The tacos were tasty and the meatballs were well made. We ordered a side of truffle mashed potatoes and were a little disappointed -- the potatoes were fine, however the truffle flavor was so light and mild, it was barely detectable. The desserts were delicious; we ordered a blondie with ice cream and a blood orange cheesecake. The blondie was brought in from a local bakery, another local detail we feel compelled to mention in a positive way. We will return to Civic, as we enjoyed ourselves, the food, and the atmosphere. There are multiple menu items intriguing us, however the teens didn't enjoy it as much. They felt limited with the menu and we will probably return as a couple to enjoy the bar area or outdoor seating on our second visit.

I had a lunch special cheese burger w/fries. Cost only $5.99..It was done perfect, pink in the middle, w/the mayo & pickles on the side. They have the best french fries that I have ever tasted..just like home made...the flavor is very good..Good service also. My family celebrated my husband's BD in Hunters Grille last month..We sat on the bar side that time. Food & service was perfect. The owner was also the bartender that time and he was very friendly, w/out being a pest. Perfect atmosphere for great lunches.

They have something for everyone. Pretzels and the dipping sauces are my fav. They sadly got rid of my absolutely favorite menu item last fall, the french dip. They replaced it with a steak bomb that isn't exactly take its place. Fries are amazing - salads too, especially the ahi tuna one!! Staff is friendly for sure!

My spouse and I have started to regularly go to John Henry's for lunch on Saturdays for the past few months and enjoy this place tremendously. We sit in the lounge and mingle with the golfers and other customers. Can't watch a college football game without chicken wings. A must try are the inferno flavored version. Yikes! The "Big Tony's" Italian sub is very delish, and also the corned beef Reuben. I have yet to send back a meal (which I have done at other places I have eaten). It will be sad when they close for the winter which will be end of November. The tavern is nice and relaxing with the large windows to view parts of the course.

We haven't had good seafood in a long time, found this place while driving thanks to tripadvisor! I had a seafood salad roll with some onion chips, fantastic. My husband got his usual when we're in MA, fried clams, he was very happy! An out of the way place we wouldn't have found without tripadvisor and waze! And did I mention, beer glasses were chilled!

Now that I have your attention. This was a fabulous breakfast! My friend had the Tavern breakfast special and I had the egg sandwich on a Portuguese muffin. Farm fresh eggs since we are close to all the local farms and as I said they make their own sweet sausage patties. The home fries had a wonderful Old Bay style seasoning and of course we had breakfast cocktails. I was so full but determined I was not leaving anything on the plate. The owner is a former catering chef in Boston and knows how to cook food right! Excellent meal and I will definitely return to try lunch and sit on the patio

Place is more a bar than restaurant. Arrived after big group left, bartender was focused on cleaning up rather than serving us, but that's fine. Got a salad with perfectly grilled chicken, egg, blue cheese. Loaded, fresh and yummy, husband got he burger. I'm thinking hand pressed. Juicy loaded with toppings. He ate the whole thing! Home made fries , wanted to like, but no crisp at all a bit soggy, wondering if twice fry techniques would solve it. Definitely would got back. Chef cares about what he puts outM thank you
