My boyfriend and I traveled 45min to eat at Poor Thom’s Tavern. We made a reservation and we got seated shortly after arriving. The food was phenomenal and our waitress, Cathy, was great. Great food, service was good but the restaurant was busy so it was loud. Highly recommend and I will definitely go back again!

My husband and I came from WI to visit our Claremont friends, who joined us with high recommendation. We had such a delicious dinner and the atmosphere was lovely for a Saturday evening! My husband had a nice cut of prime rib, garlic mash and veggies from the garden! I chose the maple salmon, garlic mash, broccoli and also added a (nice sized) leafy green salad. I'm still drooling over the maple glaze & mash potatoes ...& hoping to somehow make this back home. I ordered an old fashioned sweet, which was decent. The WI in me could accept it but I could see some room for improvement, but we weren't there for the drinks anyways! We tipped well, left FULL, & brought home some leftovers and dreams of our next visit our east to visit PTT's again! Thank you for the kind hospitality and mouth watering dinner!

Drats. I want to rate Poor Thom’s Tavern 4.5 stars but the app doesn’t let me. Poor Thom’s is an excellent escape to a quaint tavern with good people and lovely food. It’s also so picturesque - walking in from the outside - during a snowfall. I have fond memories of the dishes I’ve enjoyed here. The service is rapid and earnest. The ambience here is subtly-modern tavern. The first dish they do well is the basic pepperoni wood-fired pizza. It has a very substantial-by-way-of-sturdy crust: I want to say there is a dusting of corn meal beneath the bottom of the pizza, though not sure. Maybe that is why they name one of their featured pizzas, “Dust Pan.” Poor Thom’s pizza leftovers have been my sustenance, at times. My favorite pizza here is the Sugar Shack with Granny Smith apples, caramelized onions, smoked bacon and a maple syrup drizzle. This one is a real treat which I wish I could have all of the time. Seriously. I also love the Shepherd’s Pie, here, which I don’t see on the current online menu. They might prepare it for you, anyway, if they have the ingredients that evening. It’s a refined take on the classic Irish pie with ultra-diced meat and veggies and exquisite flavors from the combination and seasonings. It’s also the most gorgeous Shepherd’s Pie I’ve seen. The samosas are awesome, crispy and substantial, though I did not have the best experience with the spicy green chutney once. Their buffalo and sweet Thai Chili wings rock! Favorite. Love them for how crispy they are. The burgers are good though not as memorable as the previous dishes I’ve mentioned. Their fries are very good especially with honey mustard. It’s like you can’t get enough of them! The beer and drink selection is ample. Go to Thom’s!

What a great place! Stopped by with my partner and her daughter for dinner. Sat on the patio with the dog which was lovely. Our server was a woman in her 40s, and she was wonderful. The food was great too! Try the potato skins. The spinach artichoke dip filling was a great little twist. Overall had a great experience and if I lived closer, I’d be a regular for sure.

We were excited to try for the first time and a good first dinner. Meatloaf with mashed potatoes and carrots and a Cuban sandwich with French fries. The meatloaf dinner was definitely the better and tastier choice. Would get again. The Cuban sandwich was a panini with a mixture of meat, cheese, pickles, and cold cuts. It was okay, but I've had better versions and wouldn't get it again. We got a wood fire pepperoni pizza to go, and it was very good. Even reheated in the oven the next day. It was a little loud in the dining room, but we were there on a Saturday night. One big room. Separate adjoining room with bar.
