I went to try Choate Bridge Pub in Ipswich with a couple of friends last week. I hadn't been for a…read morefew years. It's just as great as it always was. The food was great, fresh, and hot. Even the coleslaw and tartar sauce were made with care. The servers hustle like crazy. They treat you like good friends. Some diners may have frowned on service. Those girls never stopped, and they smiled and laughed. (Who doesn't need that these days?) It's sea scallop season, so even those scallops are expensive I had to do it. The scallop dinner w/fries and onion strings was a bit over $35, but there were 14 huge, right off the boat succulent scallops. The burgers also looked great. Get on over there.

I was told by everyone for the Best Fried Clams go to the Choate Bridge Pub and they were right. The portions of clams was overwhelming sweet clams with a roll, butter and a salad for a great price worth the money. This is a local restaurant that's doesn't need notoriety from the past. A simple place to eat good quality food, the staff very friendly along with a great atmosphere. So I recommend Choate Bridge Pub find a place to park and enjoy. I took a to go box because of so many Clams,

The vibe was better than it had been in a while. I was greeted with a welcoming presence and was taken care of quite quickly.

The brioche bun was perfect, the flavor combo was genius to be honest. He even came back around to check in on me and how it was. (Give this man a raise lol). He took a moment to express gratitude and speak of his investment in the place and making it grow. Did I hear batting cages are coming next door??

They had the place shut down due to a gas leak and fire Marshall shut there gas off. I was kind enough to stop what I was doing and put everything aside for them. To pull permits and deal with inspections and Inspector to get them opened and running again. I've been trying to call for payment they refuse to pay now that they have the place opened and running again. Steven basically told me to fuck myself and that he's not paying. So I contacted Lisa which was on vacation and enjoying herself now that we handled everything for her including paying for permits out of my own pocket. She says she will pay aslong as we send a detailed invoice which I have 3 times now due refuses to answer along with Steven. Do not trust these people with money or food they are not what you think they are. They definitely not what I thought they were. There not nice people at all totally wrong. If you are owed money for your hard earned time and labor they choose not to pay. But they know hot to call a bunch of times when there in need so sad.

They are clearly trained to take your order, then your payment, then go off to a little niche far away and make the sub exactly as they want to. If you want extra mayo, or no pickles, or any other adjustment, you are stuck. But, this time, after my last experience, I leaned over the counter and tried to keep my eyes on him and, sure enough, I spotted him start to put pickles and other veggies on it without asking me anything. I called out to him and told him I how I wanted it made and he did so but it was a nuisance. The sub was good again but I don't recommend anyone buy one at this place unless you're happy with the shop deciding exactly how they make your sub. If you want a choice however, virtually every other sub shop in the region will ask you first and give you a chance to tell them how to finish the sub.

The flavor overall was genuinely great--seasoned well, fresh, satisfying. No complaints there. That said... the steak. Calling it "grilled steak" felt a bit aspirational. The amount of steak was so minimal it might've been sprinkled in for moral support, like pepper. If I hadn't been told there was steak, I might've assumed this was a very confident vegetarian burrito with commitment issues. So yes--impressive size, excellent taste. But if you're ordering steak because you're not a vegetarian and would like to remain that way during your meal, you may leave slightly disappointed.
