The Tavern

Is a burger considered a sandwich? Because you really should include 5 Guys in that case.
Harvey Chafitz
8:24 am on Monday, February 27, 2012
This is a wonderful category !!
It should be more "specific" as to the type of sandwich.
So many types !!!
So many choices !
So many places !!
Susan Petroni
9:38 am on Monday, February 27, 2012
@Paul - yes a burger does count. I will add 5 Guys to the list.
And answering a question on our Facebook page at the same time, wraps count too!
@Harvey - Framingham is so large it may have helped to have a specific type of sandwich, thanks for the feedback!

The steak & cheese at the Sub-Way & Pizza on Union Ave is delicious!!!
Danny Wetherbee
2:21 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
The Steak and Cheese at The Tavern in Framingham hands down is the best around.
Wendy Deneault
2:41 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
The Steak and Cheese at The Tavern is the best in town!
Paul Sanford
2:47 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
The Tavern has the best Steak & Cheese around. Also the "Tavern Burger" is unreal as well. You should put them on the list.
The Tavern
102 Irving Street

David, Wendy & Paul -- I have added The Tavern. They are the last establishment on the poll. Please vote for them.
Amy Schwartzberg

Egg and Cheese on a bulkie roll (some people like it on a bagel) at Eggcetera!
Eggcetera, Etc.
10:24 pm on Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Thanks for your vote Amy! I didn't even know about this contest...I hope the Framingham Patch will recognize Eggcetera, Etc. as one of the greatest new restaurants in town (I don't think they've been in yet)!!
We also have awesome CHEESE GRILLERS & we just added BAGEL BURGERS to the menu -- talk about a great sandwiches!
Mark W. McClennan, APR
3:27 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
I would strongly advocate for putting burgers in a separate category. A burger is not a sandwich. It's a burger....
Sub - Centre Pizza - best sausage sub in Framingham.
High End Sandwich - Panera Bread
Burger - Five Guys - Bacon Double Cheeseburger with everything.
Thoams Leach
3:28 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
If you want the best steak and cheese sub made to your liking,with any topping you want than you must to the The Tavern on Ivirng St . So if you want a awesome steak and cheese sandwhich you know where to go The Tavern.Will beat any ones steak and cheese sub around hands down.
Christine Marley
3:42 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
I ABSOLUTELY vote for The Taverns STEAK N CHEESE.... They have officially ruined every other steak n cheese in town!!!! Not to mention very cost effect!

Steak an cheese at the tavern! Doesn't get any better than that!
Karen Kornbau
4:42 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
Wow! I am clearly missing out by never having been at The Tavern. I guess that will be the next place I try!
Susan Petroni
8:04 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
@Karen - Me too. My family has never been.
We just checked out the menu and I see besides their steak & cheese they have on the menu a bacon-wrapped pickle and bacon-wrapped Pop-Tarts.
They do have Sweet Potato fries on the menu, which sound yummy.
Question: Fans of the Tavern, Can you do takeout?
Karen Kornbau
10:08 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
Bacon does make everything better!! May have to take the family this weekend. I'm sure my boys will want to try the bacon wrapped Pop Tarts...lol!

Steak & Cheese at The Tavern = HEAVEN for this momma to be :)
Christine Marie
6:35 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
Definitely the steak and cheese at the tavern!! I can't eat a steak and cheese from anywhere else now. And the tavern burger is hands down the best burger I've ever had!!
Kim Poness
8:25 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
Wow, I just dropped my daughter off at the Tavern and headed for Tera Brasilis - why didn't I read this sooner???? The Tavern it is! And I can walk home to burn of the calories. Thanks for starting this post, Susan!
Susan Petroni
8:46 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
Tell your daughter to post what she thinks on the steak & cheese!
Or perhaps you and I can finally meet in person and split a steak & cheese??
Kim Poness
8:49 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
Yes to both! Email me :)
Kim Poness
8:25 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
oops - I meant burn "off" the calories - got a little too excited about the steak and cheese LOL

The taverns steak n cheese hands down. Especially rocking out to Tester!!
Miss Mollie

Not to be negative, but I'd hate to see "the best" be a chain, i.e. Five Guys. Especially when you can find such good places to land like the Tavern. This bar is most definitely the friendliest place you'll walk into. the Tavern's steak'n'cheese, is by far the most delightful in all of Metrowest. And for the all too-deserving category of: "Best Burger" well kids, the Tavern takes that one too. I assure you, you will not find another burger like this one anywhere around. Definitely go check out the Tavern, I love that place and they have great entertainment on Wednesdays and weekends. Love it.

where i sthe tavern? and where is Cjs? Never heard of them, I think I need to try both.
Susan Petroni
10:19 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
Cj's Northside is in Nobscot at the old Riley's - locally owned and operated.
Tavern is downtown, if you are coming down Route 135 from Ashland, take a right at Route 126 and I believe your next left. Only open after 3 p.m. Has musical acts at night.
Heidi Zizza
10:05 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
You should add Jennifers Cafe!
Susan Petroni
10:19 pm on Monday, February 27, 2012
Where is Jennifer's Cafe?
Karen Kornbau
9:50 am on Tuesday, February 28, 2012
Near Mad Willies and Centre Pizza!
Susan Petroni
2:27 pm on Tuesday, February 28, 2012
Thanks ... I've added it to the poll.
*** Keep in mind if the poll vote is close or a tie; the comments "here" will be the tie-breaker.

Candice Reynolds

I can't vote on mobile, but you have to go to the Tavern in Framimgham. Best streak & cheese, awesome tavern burger , and bacon like you read about! Love it! Go there and met the best people and eat well!

CJ's Northside Grill. Best sandwichES!!! Hard to pick just one sandwich. Roast beef all the way.

The Tavern in Framingham has phenomenal steak and cheese!
Mr. Victor
4:50 pm on Tuesday, February 28, 2012
The steak and cheese at The Tavern gets my vote as the best steak and cheese in town.
Chris Gagen
12:03 am on Wednesday, February 29, 2012
I have never had a better cheesesteak then the one at CJ's...
Matt Fontano
8:22 am on Wednesday, February 29, 2012
I travel from Florida for CJ's roast beef. It's unparalleled.
Robert Fucci
3:50 pm on Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Best roast beef sandwich you will ever have is at the Northside Grille!!!
Quimp
8:03 pm on Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Cj's is the best hands down!!! All the other places need to pack up and move out of town or maybe change their names to CJ's!!!!
Eggcetera, Etc.
11:00 pm on Wednesday, February 29, 2012
@Susan -- can you please add Eggcetera, Etc?? We've only been open a few months & ppl are still finding out about us, so we may not get a ton of votes, but if nothing else, maybe it will help to bring awareness to the community that Eggcetera, Etc., in addition to our other menu items, also offers an EGG SANDWICH (we call it an OmWich), a create-your-own STIR-FRY or SALAD WRAP, BAGEL BURGERS, and really good CHEESE GRILLERS... Thank you!

The new Pantry restaurant at the Verve, Crowne Plaza Natick has some amazing sandwiches, but their fresh homemade Garden Burger is my favorite. I guess the Pantry is too new to make the list of restaurants, but for future reference.
Susan Petroni
8:40 am on Thursday, March 1, 2012
@Julie - did you see if natick.patch.com had it on its poll??
Ariel Sarousi
9:40 am on Thursday, March 1, 2012
It's too bad that most of the eateries listed are mega-chains. Hardly any of these are exclusive to Framingham. I would suggest the Pizza wagon's Buffalo Tender Sub. I'm not sure if it's on the menu, but they will make it if asked. Crisp, juicy, spicy chicken is something I sorely miss. I don't think the pizza is all that great as I believe the crust is pre-made, bu the Buffalo chicken tender sub is amazing.
Julie Dennehy
11:56 am on Thursday, March 1, 2012
@Susan: they don't, but I just commented there. The restaurant is right on the Fram/Natick line... literally... so I forget which town it's in sometimes! ;)
Susan Petroni
1:39 pm on Thursday, March 1, 2012
WOW - 350 votes. Keeping voting until 9 a.m. tomorrow, March 2.
@Ariel - yes there are a lot of chains on the list but the top voter getters at the moment are the local establishments - CJ's Northside Grill, The Tavern, Waverly Market, Gianni's La Cantina, The Sub-Way, Kugel's Deli and J&M Diner.
Amanda McCarty
7:50 pm on Thursday, March 1, 2012
CJ'S Northside Grill is by far The Best!!! Sandwiches, Burgers, Seafood, BREAKFAST and More! Always great food to enjoy... no matter what your in the mood for! And even better.. Friendly people and a awesome atmosphere! Go Red Sox!

I cannot believe no one has mentioned Friendly Pizza Meatball sub..It hasn't changed in many years..and not only my fave for meatball subs..but EVERYONE else in Framingham that enjoys a meatball sub..always say Friendly Pizza is the ultimate best..Hands Down!
