Some of the best calamari I’ve ever had! Per our waitress’s suggestion, got the fried chicken sandwich as well as the lobster roll. The lobster roll was okay, but the fried chicken sandwich was amazing! The fries were also cooked extremely well. Definitely recommend sitting inside on a hot day, it was great to get out of the heat and the food came out quick, despite the crowds. A little expensive, but to be expected in downtown Chatham.

Food was pretty good. The blackend fish tacos I had were a little soggy, but everyone else at my table liked their food. Drinks were were really good.

For a date night or family dinner. We sat outside on back patio while the live music was playing. Good songs for dinner. Espresso martini with baileys was very good. Old fashioned was good too but a lot of ice chips in it and no cherry. Lobster Mac n cheese was very good. The Caesar salad was kind of soggy and presentation was sad. Cinnamon roll with ice cream was tasty but wouldn’t get again as the bun wasn’t warm and hard/stale. Our waiter Jessica was amazing and super nice! Loved the outdoor seating under the Edison lights. Would go again!

Quick food, decent price. Walked in. Seated immediately. Our server was fantastic. Accommodated my vegan dining companion and myself. Drinks were cond and refreshing. Food was good and fresh. He had the vegan curry -which was a Jamaican style vegetable curry and hit the spot. Fish tacos were cold and were the perfect lite fare for the night. W drinks and a dinner and we’re were walk- in and out with great service for about $60 on a Thursday night at 5:45ish.

I decided to order what stood out to me the most on the lunch menu, which lead to me getting the “blackened swordfish sandwich” set down in front of me. It had an amazing texture and a strong flavor, the fries they came with were thick cut and incredibly crispy and warm. The entire meal was delicious and filling.

Yesterday, my large party of 10 had a delightful lunch at the Wild Goose Tavern on Main St in Chatham. Despite being a little short-staffed, they were upfront about it and advised us to order quickly. However, they managed to accommodate our needs without any issues.

We arrived for a 6:15 reservation and were promptly seated in the back patio. That appears to also be where groups with young children are seated.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Wild Goose Tavern with our large group, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable, making our experience truly memorable. The Belgian waffles topped with a fresh fruit compote were a hit, perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The custom omelets were another standout, especially the one with spinach, cheese, and mushrooms – a delightful combination of flavors that melted in the mouth. It’s not often that every member of a large group leaves satisfied, but Wild Goose Tavern achieved just that. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch breakfast experience in Chatham!

Excellent Food but Service Needs Much improvement. We went early (11:40 am) to the Wild Goose Tavern for Lunch hoping it would not be busy. Unfortunately, we waited 15 minutes before the waiter even came over to our table even though there were only one other party seated. Then our food did not arrive until 12:25, with several other tables of customers who came after us getting their food first. When we talked to our waiter about the slowness of food coming, he explained that they give priority to families with children. While giving some preference to young children is understandable, the amount of time we waited was unacceptable.
