"I come to Shaw 's Tavern pretty much every week for trivia with Jeremy--which is awesome. Some of the best prizes in town and supports a local business instead of big trivia. And while the food happy hour specials end at 7PM, the drink happy hour specials run all night on trivia nights!The best deal is the happy hour pizza for $9. They are massive for that price. I prefer the white one, as the red one can get greasy, and love the option to pay $1 for cauliflower crust. Another great deal is the huge side of mac n ' cheese for only $5. It tastes pretty much exactly like boxed mac n ' cheese and isn 't anything to right home about, but is a great budget option or add-on to something else for not too much extra. In terms of drinks, the happy hour cocktails are all pretty bad (or perhaps just sweet) and I 'd recommend getting a well drink or beer instead.In terms of quality food, I love the Brussels and Kale salad (I add grilled chicken typically) or the Loaded Nachos, which come in a skillet. The nachos would be greatly improved by the use of pickled jalapenos instead of raw ones, but alas. My favorite thing is actually the peach cobber. Warm and baked with a crust, not too sweet, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The main downsides to Shaw 's Tavern are that they always seem to be out of ingredients--one week we can 't get peach cobbler, one week we can 't get cauliflower crust, one week we can 't get X, Y, Z. And the service is always mixed. Some nights the service is good, and some nights it takes twenty minutes to place an order and they forget your silverware and drink. And, oddly, it doesn 't seem to correlate to how busy the restaurant is or who our server is. I can 't figure it out! I don 't really come for the food--I come for trivia--but I do typically wait to eat there because it is better than anything I 'd make at home!"
