The cream of crab soup and fish and chips were amazing! The onion soup was a little short on onion taste but that may have just the onions. The Ruben lived up to its reputation, but the bread/sandwich was a little on the small side given the price.

Really ?!?!! Closing at 9pm on a Saturday?!?! ???parties don’t even start until 9. They must have just collected on the nursing home and went home for the evening, sleep well the real money goes to the others I suppose

I've eaten here many times - not sure why I didn't leave a review before now...This is the kind of warm, inviting establishment that naturally lends itself to returning to again and again.If you're looking for a 10-page menu that constantly changes, this isn't really that place (but those folks will still find something great to eat here!). This is the place that has a basic core menu that pretty much remains the same, but that's a *good* thing, because you can count on them having that favorite every time you want it - and it will *always* be good. I've never had a less-than-great meal here.If you are travelling through Denton, or visiting friends here, this is where you want to go for lunch or dinner (or just drinks).Today I visited with a friend, and we started with the Crabby Pretzel - the pretzel was essentially the size and shape of a small baguette, and topped *generously* with crab dip, sprinkled with old bay. It was even better than it looked.I ordered the Reuben with fries for my entrée - the only critique I have is the bread could be a little bigger - the generous meat and filling needed just a little more "coverage," in my opinion. But the sandwich was awesome - bite led to bite. The fries are a long, thin-cut fry, and for me they go great with a little salt and malt vinegar (which they always keep available).My friend - a former bartender - ordered a tea w/ whiskey. They explained ahead that it would be a bagged tea. He was really impressed and said it was delicious, a perfect ratio of tea/whiskey.He also ordered the Seafood Smorgasbord, which featured battered cod, fried oysters, and jumbo shrimp on a bed of fries. He was very pleased with it. He let me try a fried oyster - which I hadn't had before - and it was really good.Today was unseasonably warm and so we sat outside and enjoyed conversation along with the fantastic meal.The service is always polite, friendly, and courteous yet still down-to-earth (read: not pretentious). This is the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and I personally wouldn't have it any other way.Reviews are for the unfamiliar, not for folks who already know a place well - with that in mind, welcome to your new "home away from home." I don't think you could possibly be disappointed. Great hearty food fare in a rustic, cozy setting, with a bar pretty much unmatched in the area.A place where the Welcome mat is genuine and sincere.

The wife and I stumbled upon this wonderful pub quite by accident during one of our early dates several years ago, and it's always a pleasure to return. We'd be regulars if we lived closer. The food is excellent, and there is always a good selection of beers on tap. (Of course, we always have to get at least one Guinness.) The decor, including an impressive collection of tap handles, is a nice touch. The owner is often behind the bar; he is a gentleman and a scholar.

Love the outside seating during the warmer months where we can have our dogs with us. ?Dietary restrictions: My husband has a strange allergy to onions, and they have had no problems accommodating him.Parking: Parking sometimes can be difficult for most of it is street parking and normally taken. Now, if it's not court hours, then there is parking around the courthouse and only a short walk.
