Tavern on 3
Welcome to Tavern on 3, a delightful culinary gem nestled in Rocky Hill, Connecticut. Located at 950 Cromwell Avenue, this eatery has quickly become a favorite among locals for its vibrant atmosphere and extensive menu that caters to every palate. As a food reviewer for Menu Buzz, I am thrilled to introduce you to a place where every meal feels like a celebration!
Tavern on 3 offers an impressive array of appetizers designed to tantalize your taste buds. The Bang Bang Shrimp—lightly fried and drizzled with house-made sauce—is a must-try for seafood lovers at just $12.00. If you're in the mood for something crispy, the Tavern Calamari is hand-battered and served with your choice of dipping sauces, delivering a satisfying crunch with every bite. For those seeking a heartier option, the CBR Quesadilla hugs grilled chicken, bacon, and cheddar, paired perfectly with salsa and sour cream, all for the same price.
As you move on to soups and salads, I highly recommend the Tavern Cobb Salad, packed with crisp romaine, egg, bacon bits, and cheddar, while the classic French Onion Soup warms the soul with its rich beef broth and melted Swiss cheese—a perfect start to any meal.
The loaded skillets are another standout feature of the menu. Imagine a melted mountain of cheese paired with shredded chicken, bacon, and the right amount of buffalo sauce in the Buffalo Chicken Bacon Ranch skillet. It's deliciously indulgent and perfect for sharing or enjoying solo at $11.00.

“ Wife and I went to Tavern On 3 tonight. Our server Maddy was nothing shy of fantastic. She pointed out the happy hour specials and I ended up getting wings & nachos. For the main course, Wife had the Steak Salad, and I had the Tavern Skillet Pie. If I had a complaint, it would be there are just too many great menu options... So, no complaints! They even have Yuengling beer. ”
“ To say I was extremely impressed by the amazingly authentic menu at Tavern on 3 would be an understatement. We tried many different apps - each of them was excellent & you could tell the chefs put a lot of care into crafting such delicious dishes. The bar was trendy & bustling on a Thursday night. The atmosphere was friendly & all the waitstaff were very welcoming & attentive. We started with one of the skillets which we were too famished to get a picture of but it was hot & melty & just an awesome shareable “ for the table “ I’ll definitely be going back & recommending this place to all my friends !! ”
“ I have been here a handful of times and it's very consistent. I have dietary restrictions and they accomdated which was nice. Their chick pea patty is really good! Service was excellent, they messed up my burger and put cheese on it and immediately took it back and gave us 20% off the meal, no questions asked. Great spot, parking can get crazy in that plaza so be prepared if you go during happy hour. ”
“ I wanted to try some place new so my husband and I gave the Tavern a shot. I really liked the atmosphere and the music they were playing. We went on a Sunday afternoon and they had a decent crowd. Our waitress, Cara, was awesome and very patient and pleasant with my grumpy husband. He ordered steak and fries which was good and prepared as ordered. The steak also had a nice sear. I had the fish and chips which was way better than I expected. It wasn't greasy, tasted fresh and was very flaky. They even have happy specials, food and drinks, Monday thru Friday I believe. I would definitely return here and will bring my friends on a Friday or Saturday night so we can enjoy the DJ. ”
“ Stopped in on a Friday night and it was very crowded. No low tables were available to accommodate my wife who is in a wheelchair. Instead of making us wait for a table to be available the hostess and a waitress got a two top out of the back and put it in an available corner. We were seated and served in no time. The food was hot and great quality. The service was good considering the crowd, and the entertainment was top notch. We had a fantastic time and will definitely go there again. ”
“ Good range of wholesome, home-cooked food and a nice choice of craft ales. Sometimes, things don't quite go to plan, it happens, and the important thing is how the restaurant handles the situation. I have to say, the team at Tavern on 3 went way above and beyond to rectify a minor grumble, leaving me one very satisfied customer. I can particularly recommend the Rodeo Skillet - very tasty indeed ”
“ My fiance and I came for a laid back lunch on Sunday, and were impressed to find such delicious food here! Everything was high-quality and flavorful. The steak salad was very fresh and tasty, and we absolutely loved the lemon sauce on our grilled chicken with fresh green beans. The shepherd’s pie chowder was a really unique option, and the variety on the menu is fantastic. You could come here for weeks and still have new menu items to try! We caught them during brunch, so we tried the Oreo bash pancakes which are perfect for those with a sweet tooth. The apple crumble and pretzels with dipping sauces made for great desserts too. Loved the vibe, and have to say it’s one of our new favorites in Rocky Hill! ”
“ So my friends and I go here with our service dogs after class, we walk in they know to ignore the dogs, and we're always placed in a great spot for our dogs to watch our back and still be comfortable. I love that they don't make a huge deal out of it, the servers are always friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and they give you your money's worth. ”
