Rod's Tavern offers a nice atmosphere with open and airy decor, and the option of a heated porch. The menu features a fabulous New England Clam Chowder with a puff pastry top, alongside the highly praised French Mussels, which many consider the star of the menu. However, some dishes, like the veggie burger, may seem generic and overpriced. The noise level can be high, making it challenging to have a serious conversation or a date. The portions may vary in size, but the meal portions are generally large, with customers often unable to finish them. The food's authenticity is sometimes questioned.
The service can range from mediocre to top-notch, depending on the server. Recent reviews highlight great service from Adian S. and Steven, with customers noting that the bartenders are amazing and personable. Many describe the overall experience as "a bit hit or miss," but the atmosphere remains enjoyable, especially when sitting outside. The Clam Chowder is praised as "better than Matt's Fish camp," and the Guinness is noted as the "best pint since Dub's." However, the Shepherd's Pie was not the best.
Rod's Tavern has recently undergone a renovation, with the paint, furniture, and overall look described as "immaculate." Overall, Rod's Tavern presents a varied menu with both hits and misses, all within a pleasant and recently updated atmosphere.
