"I ate here twice when I was on vacation last spring and I might have had the BEST nachos of my life at this place! My wife and I also managed to stumble upon Pub Trivia night here and had a blast! My second meal here was a hamburger and it was excellent as well. Super impressed with this place!"

"This is one of the best gluten free burgers I’ve had anywhere. They also have vegan burgers and do a great job with them, also. The bun didn’t fall apart, which usually happens, and our burgers were stacked and looked great. Our burgers were all make correctly, the fries were crispy and the portions were generous. If you’re not lucky enough to eat here in October, you’d be happy to stop here in another month when you don’t have such a wait (and they still do take out outside of October!) Also? The day before Halloween and their bathroom is one of the cleanest I’ve seen during the entire month of October. Props, Village Tavern crew, for offering a nice bathroom to your customers during the hardest month of the year to keep it nice!!"

"Food is okay. I had the jalapeño burger and it was a 7 out of 10. Large menu - My wife had a bowl of clam chowder and it was lukewarm but still tasty. Had to wait about 15 minutes to get in on a Thursday. Our waitress was phenomenal though. Great suggestions on cocktails and super friendly."

"Great little bar in the main business Square of Salem. Feet from most of the haunted tours and October Festival happenings. The service was great even when they were insanely busy. We only had apps, but the chicken tenders with Thai Chilli sauce was great."

"Our first time eating here. We ordered a regular burger, one nachos to share for 4, a grilled cheese for our birthday niece, & 1 large Greek salad, 1 small Greek salad & a beer. Our waitress was great, fast, helpful, & there for us. Thank you- We all finished our meals & enjoyed. We will be back."
