“My husband and I have driven by this place so many times 🚗 but never had the chance to stop. Today we were in the area at just the right time and finally made it happen 🙌 OMGSH we are so glad we did! The food was outstanding, the homemade bread was incredible 🥖 and everything was so fresh. Our server Emily was an absolute blast 😄 She was fun, sarcastic (just the way we like it 😉) and made us feel like we were regulars from the moment we sat down. It’s one of those places where everyone seems to know each other, and the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming 🩷 We live a little over an hour away, but this spot is absolutely worth the drive. We’ll definitely be back! ✨ Sorry no food pics… we were too hungry 😆🍽️“

“Don’t miss this gem! Clam chowder is very tasty. Broth is excellent and potatoes maintain their structure and are not mushy. Lobster roll has a lot of high quality lobster though is on the small side. Onion rings are so crispy! Perfect! Haddock is high quality and delicious. Batter is light and flavorful. Again, cooked perfectly. Then of course we had ice cream. Single scoop is very generous. Best I have ever had.“

“Steph the bartender was awesome. Super friendly and held down the whole place herself for drinks and food. The pool tables are high quality and the cues are also not warped or broken (which I now expect when I vacation) which I REALLY appreciate. This is a local feeling hang out spot with an extensive bar, good bar food, and great staff. To the gentleman who works there who helped me find the triangle- I appreciate you- I would have been there all night 🤣. Although there were a lot of men there this doesn’t feel like a pick up place- it’s definitely a “everyone is just here to have fun or eat or watch the game” which is also appreciated as someone who was visiting the area.“

“Had a impromptu dinner date with my 9 yr old Lil one tonight. Cassie was our server and was excellent. She greeted us, got our drinks. Lemonade for the wee one and for me a Espresso Martini (which was excellent). We had some Bruschetta to start and the little one tried and liked it. She told us about the specials of the night, then we ordered our meal. Chicken tenders for him ( I swear he is gonna turn into a chicken tender someday, lol) and Steak tips, Mashed, green beans for me. Everything was excellent. Dessert was a scoop of Black Raspberry for him and Creme brulee for me, both delicious. I had a long week of work and this experience hit the spot. Friendly people nice atmosphere and nice music. I will be back sometime soon. I hope the next experience will be just as good.“

“Great pub atmosphere with separate bar and dinner areas for quieter dining. Exceptional food at very reasonable prices. Pizza and wings are a staple and their extensive menu shows off many other outstanding dishes. Have been there dozens of times over the past several years and the service is friendly and terrific. While not a beer drinker, my friends rave about their in-house brews. Have never made it to dessert, but I'm told they are excellent! The attached Willy's Market showcases their sausages, meats, and sandwiches along with homemade salads and a Maine Agency Liquor Store.“

“Great food, large portions, good people. I love this place and love how loud the music can be on some days. Only problem is on busy nights its a long wait for food. Sometimes it takes a while for the staff to seat incoming customers. Would be nice to see more young adults like myself come here.“
