Nice venue for local bands - food is good pub style, service was attentive and friendly, and all the facilities were clean and well cared for. Glad this place is close to home!
Always a great place for a nice, relaxing lunch!! Sat outside today and enjoyed the sunshine. Fish taco wraps are my fave when I come here. Fries always fresh and hot! Staff and service has always been great.
I'm only giving it 4 stars right now because I showed up on a Thursday at 10 45 and they were calling last call because it was dead. I'm not taking a star off for that, to the contrary, I'm giving them 4 stars DESPITE that! The staff I interacted with were wonderful, the place had a great vibe, was clean & spacious, and the couple of patrons left were fun and friendly. I definitely will be back and see what the bands, food and full atmosphere is like and probably will need to pop on that 5th star.
Traveling from CT with our 7th grade basketball team and they charged everyone well over $20 per order. I ordered fries for $6 and they charged me $26.10 . The fries were cold , the food took over 45 minutes to come out and they never brought out my soup. I called 2x and the manager has yet to call back. I would not recommend this place...poor communication.
Staff is super friendly. Food is priced averagely, definitely cheaper options. Was pretty empty for a weekend night.Pros: nice staff and the food was served quickly. Place is clean and a decent atmosphereCons: food was below average. Not the best for the price and you can definitely get better elsewhere. I don’t think I will come here again. -3 stars.Overall: could be worse. If this is your only option to go out to eat then it’s not the worst place out there for a drink and a burger
We just had wings & cream of broccoli soup there. The wings were saucy & crispy as ordered and the soup was divine! Our server, Karisa is just lovely on the inside-out! She made our experience!! So friendly and makes you want to come back. The food was great, beers were cold and I'd go back in a NY minute!! the only thing I would ask is for them to turn up the music so I can't hear the other tables' conversations and to create some vibe and energy : )
It was a Saturday afternoon. I believe two servers. It was starting to get busy. It took a while to get menus. A man with a security shirt gave us menus. You could see he was assisting the servers. That's good service. Our Server Karisa was so very friendly and apologetic that it took a while. She placed our order, and it was out very quick. She checked in on us several times as we could see that she was busy.I don't have photos of the food, but I will say it is good size portions for the three of us.I would return.
It was night out to discuss plans for a June Birthday party ?. This took place one of the very warm April days we had and we wanted to enjoy it. We started out at The Mighty Crab for much conversation and a great dinner. After dinner we decided since it was still some daylight remaining we'd stop at Rafferty's for a cocktail ?? on the outside terrace and finish our conversation. When we arrived they were pretty busy but we managed to get the last remaining table outside. We were seated briefly when the waitress came over to take our order. While waiting we noticed girl scout cookies. When the waitress returns we ask. She informed us they belonged to the security, he was selling them for his daughters troop....lol. The young waitress was very sweet, attentive and made an effort to converse. We enjoyed our evening but made certain upon leaving found the security person and all purchased a couple boxes of cookies.? We will definitely stop by again when the weather warms up ?.
Parking: The parking lot is a shared lot, and as it was busy some of us had to park further than others.
Just left after dinner and drinks, only to leave early because of rude and obnoxious behavior by tonight's performer John Eisenhart toward audience.We have always enjoyed spending Friday nights on patio until tonightHis content was inappropriate for venue.Very disappointing!
Ok. So if you plan on hitting up a bad bar and grill this year, this is the place for you. Drinks watered down. Food soggy. Kitchen lost my appetizer order. Score. Will not be returning. Waitress was nice and prompt though.

Went there last night with a friend and we sat outside. There were two waitresses working the patio. Neither of them came over and asked to take our order. We got our own drinks at the bar…which is fine. But they should have brought menus and checked on us. It wasn’t even busy and they were helping other customers.Very disappointing.
We came to Rafferty's for lunch. There were not too many people in the place. We ordered Wings & Pretzel for appetizers and thereafter, burger & salads. Our appetizers came out with our entrees. The burger, chicken and steak on our salads were over cooked. It was terrible. The only saving grace were the 2 waitresses. Rafferty's needs to get its act together or I see it's days numbered. It was very disappointing. Look for another place to eat.
Went here with my fiancé for one of her job's happy hours and it was excellent! The server was on top of everything even with the large group, and the food was also great. As soon as we left we mentioned how we wanted to go there for a date night, so a great experience in my book!
We went there for lunch on a Saturday. It wasn't busy our food took a long time. When our sandwich & app came out the French fries were ice cold & our app as well. We told the waitress about it & got hot fries & app. She apologized & said they had a new cook. It was also very very cold in the restaurant, the ceiling fans were all on. Alot of customers had their coats on.
Open late, even on a Tuesday. Ordered food at 10. Even brewed us coffee. Quite a popular place. Great music.
