I did a small catering order here for a house party. The sliders were phenomenal and chicken wings on the bone were top notch. The salad was an extra surprise. Chopped garden salad very fresh and great presentation. Everyone raved about the food. Service was excellent. Everything handled via email with a personal touch.

Never felt the need to write a review before, but I just moved to Winchester and this was one of my first experiences in town. I ordered baked seafood platter, described on the menu as ‘a casserole FULL of seafood’ for $30… check the picture and you be the judge.
Edit: Realized I should mention, the scraps of haddock I was given were dry, the scallops were clearly reheated from frozen and overcooked to the point of being like chewing gum (threw them out), and the shrimp at least tasted like shrimp… although they were supposed to be garlic so 🤷🏻♂️

I love this pub. It's my kind of place.. the food is delicious, the atmosphere is light. There's people at the bar, families at the tables and best of all there's Heather!!

This is a nice little local pub with a very good beer selection. The server was very friendly and attentive. However, the first time I was there, they happened to be hosting some sports kids team (high school age I think) with a sort of buffet set up at the end of the bar. The kids were VERY noisy and disruptive. My server was very nice, but clearly quite distracted. She still managed to provide good service so big shout out to her. The food was good. I had the chili and really liked it. It was kind of spicy which I really enjoy and served with nacho chips around the outside. I'll definitely be back.

As someone with extensive server experience, the servers here were rude and unprofessional. Slammed our drinks down, didn’t make eye contact, barely greeted us at the door. Food was fine for the price

Went for a quick dinner, it’s was very busy due to a local event. We sat at the bar, where it was very busy, my husband and i ordered drinks & while making my drink the bartender accidentally sprayed the soda water tap all over me, which was horrible, but he didn’t even apologize. Another patron who saw what happened handed me a pile of napkins to dry myself off…accidents happen, but an apology would have been nice.
Always feels like being at a friends house for dinner! Excellent service and great food! Highly recommend. During summer season especially enjoyable to be able to sit outside in the sidewalk dining area, very relaxing! Also recommend their ‘sister location’ over in Arlington Heights for a mirror image of their excellent dining experience! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

didn’t even get to experience the food. the waiter told us to wait for 20 mins, so we went back in 20 mins. but the answer was that they cannot serve us because of our age. well i am 18 yrs old. and they still didn’t serve us saying there is no seat for six people. then why did you tell us in the beginning that we would be able to get the seats in 20 mins? we wasted our time and it made our day horrible. never going back. awful.

One of my favorites. They have the best Caesar salad with grilled chicken, tasty burgers grilled perfectly, whatever you order you will be satisfied and happy. Their waitresses/bartenders make the pub the best place to be.
