The Gavel Public House - Wrentham, Massachusetts

Sam Sanson

A local favorite with reasonable indoor and outdoor seating. However I have never been to the lower outdoor seating that seems more spacious and with fake grass. Maybe a reserved venue area. There also bar seating inside and a bar outside. The place is not huge and can get fairly packed. Like a college bar scene than fine dining.

Food is always good here and the staff are friendly. I don’t think this is a good date place if you sit inside because it gets pretty loud and you won’t be able to hear each other or have some privacy. Maybe outside would be better for that but you’ll have to deal with the weather and bugs. Up to you. I would just bring friends and hangout and talk about how your date went.

The Gavel is a great local place to get together with friends and family. The atmosphere is warm and casual. Food is delicious with a nice variety of options. We have had the salads, tacos, shrimp, and burgers. All were excellent. Service is awesome and the Gavel is highly recommended!

This place is a bar with expanded seating and live music and that's all fun it was a good we all had a good time and we went with our friends who come frequently.

I would recommend the calamari and the nachos as the better apps but for food we had steak tips they were about average but cooked as ordered which is excellent. We took a crab ragoon pizza to take home, pizza was better then everything we ate. I'd go back and get those apps and just pizza.

My friends (table of 4) ordered Buffalo Mac and said the Mac was just had to much buffalo sauce though my boy loved his burger. My drinks just seemed off and missing things. Service at the table was very good it was extremely busy and we didn't want to stress the situation.

I think we will give this place another try at a different time.

We stopped for lunch today around 3pm and it wasn’t busy at all for a Saturday. We were able to get a table for 2 on the patio right away. There were so many options on the menu that sounded good, but I went with the turkey BLAT with a side of tater tots. It was a huge portion so I took half home to have later. Food & drinks were great and service was excellent. We had a few different servers/runners stop by our table multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. We’re not from the area so this was just a random stop after googling “food nearby” but I would definitely come back if I were in the area again!

The Gavel was a bit busy on a Friday night around 7:00. We checked in at the hostess station and told it would be about 30-35 minutes for a table of four, so we got on the list and headed to the bar for drinks. The bar area was standing room only but the bartender was quick to take our order. Approximately 30 minutes later our table was ready. Our first time eating here so we decided to have appetizers. Nachos with carnitas, tater tot poutine, bone-in wings with buffalo sauce and mango habanero sauce on the side for dipping, and Devil on Horseback (cajun scallops wrapped in jalapeños & bacon with chipotle aioli). Everything was delicious. We’ll be back to try their entrees

The food was delicious. The staff was also very nice. Most of all I have to thank the chef for customizing the taco to veggie cuz that was by far the one of the best taco I've ever had.

Date lunch with the hubby was a success. Pleasantly surprised by the broccoli and cheddar soup! It was made with a light broth rather than thick, cheesy one like I’ve had in the past. The stuffed haddock was pretty pricey but - wow - absolutely delectable!! Drinks were strong. Our server was sweet. We will be back!

The food was great, great beer selection, and our waitress was on point. Even the hostesses were both great people. They helped me out when OpenTable had reserved my table for the wrong time. The Gavel has a massive multi level patio outside, and it's a great time to hang out and drink with friends at.
