All I will say is if you are looking for a quiet place to chat with a friend, this isn't it. Very popular place, very busy, very loud n noisy. My food was good, my waitress was good n my drink was good. Probably not like this all the time but yay, good for them the more it is.

A nice little family Pub. The food here is pretty good. Sometimes it can be a little bit noisy. But it's worth it

I am a single older (old) woman who sat at the bar for a drink and take out. First, had to request a menu after watching one bartender take care of several customers, then remove a bucket of dishes to kitchen, then return and unload and reload glass washer, then move toward a couple to my right when I finally asked for a menu. Ordered a drink. Take out was promptly delivered but when I got home Greek salad was missing the Greek dressing - a rather important part of a Greek salad. I'm told by my friends that I over-tip. I did not tonight. Shanty food is excellent. Service is spotty - tonight was not the first time. Too much attention being paid to a bunch of young guys having fun while one older repeat customer had to loudly ask for service. Not good.

We live in Sanford maine and work in Newington so this place is perfect to stop at on our way home... Had many meals that were excellent, last time we were there was yesterday , Wednesday the 3rd. The day bartender who gave my girlfriend a high noon seltzer ended up knocking her drink onto her lap and apologized as she handed us towels to clean it up... when we got the check, she didn't charge for the one she dumped all over her but charged for the 2 after, I mentioned it to the night bartender and she immediately apologized and took all of my girl friends drinks off of the tab, she couldn't believe what I said to her. I will continue to go there, everything is great.

I really wanna love this spot. Food is consistently good and the atmosphere is lively, open and fun. The service is so painful. I’ve had now multiple experiences of waiting for what feels like forever for the bartender to even acknowledge we’re there. They also have refused to take a takeout order over the phone asking me to call back in 5-10 minutes because they’re so busy.. that’s not normal. I know they’re still new and getting settled but the service issues are with different people every time so it’s seeming like their standard.

The food was excellent! I'm sure it's a great place to go for sports. But I'm way past the age for a sports bar.

The bartender needs help, he shouldn't be alone with a full bar and making drinks for the rest of the restaurant.
