Great pub with great service! I had the Summer Cleanse, delicious. Appetizer was the Obi-Wan Pierogi, an interesting take on the pierogi. For an entree, I had the Hangover Helper, a greasy heavy dish that hit the spot. Service quick and efficient, pub atmosphere very clean and friendly. Highly recommend!

We were vacationing with our dog Dixie, the weather was gray, rainy, and chilly, so we were looking for someone to serve us outside. These folks didn't hesitate to clean off a table for us and serve us on the patio. The patio is open but covered with a roof. We both had the mac and cheese bowl with shaved steak on it, and it was great. So much food. We took each took some home. By the time we left, the sun was finally shining. We definitely recommend this place.

Went here on Friday night for the first time in 6-8 months. We were able to make a reservation which was nice. I'm not sure what happened but the menu and the food itself is even better. Like much better (and it was good before). Our server was incredibly nice and helpful. We had such a good time we went to the bar after dinner and watched some live music. If you haven't been here, or haven't been here in a while, go check it out!

Loved this place!!! Waitstaff was super friendly, and attentive, the atmosphere was very nice with tvs for sports and the food was good. We just stopped for appetizers and drinks and everything was very good. The brussel sprouts were very good, with fresh parmesan cheese, highly recommend those! The nachos could've used more cheese, but were still tasty.

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! From the moment we called to get a reservation for our group of 12, they were super accommodating. Seating us as we walked through the door. We decided to pop in after our Long Beach day! Our waiter Patrick was amazing, super helpful with ordering. He was so efficient and friendly! We started with the tumble weed appetizer, was delicious and nice and hot! The tacos were amazing!! As was the Alabama slamma! This is absolutely gonna be a go to after every beach day! 100% recommend, food and service! Also the Mac and cheese is slamminggggg!

The waitress said...1 I can get you a table but I have to warn you, I'm the only server. Boy did she lie. The water was quick, drinks and food timely. Tasty and delicious. However, she wasn't alone because the back of the house hustled out the food and helped clear dishes. What looked like the sous chef got me more beer . Fantastic service. Food is great for pub food and must be great for people in the area awhile sick of seafood. Fish and chips and fish sandwich were the only seafood. Thinking if only they had a lobster roll and some chowder. The nachos were great! The blue cheeseburger was great. The local beer and drinks are probably more of a highlight. I had a Captains Daughter IPA. Nothing says your sleeping on the ride home like some pub food and a couple of IPA's. Next time we go we'll remember how fine it was as we search out some fresh fried shrimp and lobster. However if i was staying a week or a few days, this is a great place to spend one of them....5

Some of the pond of thirsty beaver in Westerly, Rhode Island when my favorite spot had a two hour wait to eat. I’m trying and Sherry it was very well set up and the bartender greeted us was such a friendly smile. There are huge TVs everywhere and the games were on. My friend ordered chicken wings and I ordered a burger and some coleslaw we shared pierogies the pierogies were so delicious. The chicken wings were campfire sweet chili sauce. They were delicious texture was everything and the burger had white Marvin sauce on it that was really really good white barbecue for those of you that don’t know is barbecue sauce with a horseradish base. I will definitely return here again because the food in the service did not disappoint. Dave and serve spirits from local distillery and have a custom menu. Don’t forget to ask for the gin, gin juice. It is a gin, Gingerale, and pineapple juice. The pumpkin space weight rush is also good as well. Tell them Elizabeth sent you.
