I was in the area for yet another specialist appointment and was not feeling in the best spirit. Since it was a fasting appointment, I was pretty hungry so the hubby brought me here. I don't know if I was starving, unhappy or what but this place and meal hit the spot and hit it hard. I thought I deserved a drink so I got a Guinness, which was thankfully on tap so yah! I got the bourbon steak tips with steak fries and opted for a garden salad instead of the green beans - yes, yes, and yes! Steak tips were perfectly flavorful and cooked just right for my taste. I really wanted fries and (unlike some of my family/friends) I actually like steak fries and they were cooked up just the way I like'em (crisp outside, not too mushy on the inside). The salad though, yah it was basic and yet not - all kinds of different colored tomatoes which actually had great flavor to them, and it was not just a couple but quite a few and they were "fresh". That is basically what I loved about the salad - not your typical anemic looking/tasting salad but with mixed greens (not just lame looking iceberg) and full of other veggies. The server also could not have been nicer (like I said I went through a lot that day so seeing a friendly face was nice) and always checking on us. I think we made a great choice in stopping here - it was a 4:30 on a Tuesday and it was busy. Good sign! read more

Bottom line... it doesn't get much better than Dillon's Local. My only gripe is that it's a little small, so if your timing isn't right, you might be waiting for a table -- but honestly, that's part of the charm. It has that cozy hometown pub feel: sports on, music playing, and a great local vibe. The staff treats you like you've been coming in for years, making you feel like a regular right away -- and that's definitely a good thing. Homemade comfort food that hits on every level, a delicious menu from top to bottom, and a drink menu that complements it perfectly. And by the way... the Guinness pours well! read more

We stopped by Dillon's before a show at The Plymouth Memorial Hall. This was our third visit, and the food has been consistently good every time. The staff is very friendly, even during the dinner rush when there are shows in town. The place is a little dark, but it's a pub -- that's part of the atmosphere. I started with an Allagash Ale while my wife had water. I always seem to gravitate toward the fish and chips, which are consistently crispy, fresh, and full of flavor. This time around, my wife ordered the fish tacos and thoroughly enjoyed them. If you're heading to a show at the Hall, I highly recommend stopping here beforehand. read more

Quick walk from Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower memorial. My Fiance and I stopped by after looking at other locations via Yelp. Small little restaurant with a warm and welcoming astomphere. I ordered the Chicken Marsala after some internal bickering with myself on either that or the Thanksgiving dinner, or maybe it was just called a Turkey Dinner. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

We went on a rainy Sunday for brunch and watched the first half of the Patriot's game. They have free parking available for customers so that's a plus. Place is busy and there's a constant flow of customers arriving. I went with the Portuguese hash with hollandaise sauce on the side for my poached eggs. Eggs were perfect! They also have very good coffee. Crystal provided us with great and friendly service. read more

This place is such a find. A+++ high-end versions of pub favorites and classic dinners. The service was phenomenal. The drinks and recommendations were perfect. The food was AMAZING. I wish we had one by us in NY. Definite female presence in management, service and product. We loved all of it. Shepherd's pie croquettes (oh, yes), chicken wings, chicken piccata w/risotto (drool) and a delicious turkey dinner. 5 stars isn't enough. Our daughter attends college nearby and we WILL be back read more

There's something about this bar that feels very home-y from the second that you walk in. It's a very "cozy" restaurant but everytime I go there it is always filled with people and I understand why. The staff is very friendly and thankfully when we arrived we were able to be seated immediately. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. She kept checking on us and made sure that we had everything. The food arrived shortly after we ordered it and it was very flavorful. It was brunch time and we were hungry! The price to flavor/quantity ratio is pretty good! Fyi - for anyone driving there, there is parking in front of it but it definitely will fill up quickly if it's a busy time read more

Five Stars for Dillon's Local, a.k.a. The Grilled Cheese Holy Land We stumbled into Dillon's Local on a misty New England evening like weary travelers seeking shelter, and left full, happy, and borderline evangelical about grilled cheese. First off--ambience? Impeccable. Like if an old-timey pub got a makeover from a cool cousin who just got back from a food truck tour of Portland. Cozy, warm, slightly nautical, and very much the kind of place where you expect to hear a sea shanty or two--but instead you get modern cuisine that slaps. Our waitress? Sweet as maple syrup and just as essential to the experience. Attentive, friendly, and the kind of person who makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first time. The food? Let's just say: my fish and chips were perfection--crispy, flaky, and clearly made with some kind of mystical cod magic. My wife had a salad that she actually liked (this is a big deal--she usually eats salad like she's fulfilling a community service sentence). But the grilled cheese--my god. My kids split it, but I stole a bite and was instantly humbled. I've eaten my share of grilled cheeses in this life. Some great. Some sad. Some barely worthy of the Kraft name. But this? This was a grilled cheese so good it made me question my life choices. Crunchy, buttery, melty--possibly made by a wizard. Bottom line: I would absolutely go back. Dillon's Local, you have won my heart, my stomach, and possibly partial custody of my soul. read more

Absolutely terrific food! Haven't had a Reuben that great in quite some time. Corned beef so tender, kraut and sauce perfect, bread delicious. Sweet potato fries mouth watering! Clam chowder thick and healthy serving of clams. Prices fair. Wait staff pleasant and efficient. Ambiance great tavern style. Wish I had been here sooner!!!! read more

Strolling through town and going into this place, boy did I hit gold. Great ambiance with an Irish band playing some authentic folk music. It was a tough decision to decide what to order because everything sounded delicious and everyone around me talked highly about every dish. I decided on the steak tips and they did not disappoint. Cooked perfectly and tasty. I have to add how friendly the patrons were to an out-of-towner, very friendly and hospitality. read more

4 1/2 stars actually. Nice locals place buy not unwelcoming at all. Busy at lunch of course. Really good Reuben and my wife loved her fish tacos. No offer of a refill on an ice tea that she walked by seeing it empty 4-5 times. I'm going to just drink water rather than paying for 4 ounces of tea over ice - sheesh read more

Yelp searched for local places open today and this place came up so we decided to try it out. So glad we did. By far the best kale soup I have ever had (and my Mother-in-Law was an amazing Portuguese cook). The onion soup was loaded with onions, cheese, and a beautiful bread. Fabulous!! Skip the pretzels they were meh. read more

5-5-5 on food, service, ambiance. +Food is very good, beyond the usual pub fare. We had shepherd's pie, chop chop bowl (adobo chicken with lettuce and Spanish rice), and delicious bourbon pecan bread pudding. +Service was excellent - I ordered an Irish coffee. Normally they ask if I want Baileys but the waitress forgot, then she remembered and came back to the table. Which she didn't have to do. It's a level of caring attention to details. +Ambiance is perfect (to me). Bartender greeted us with a smile and a wave to "take any table." TVs on but volume off. Good music creating a fun vibe but at low enough volume you can actually have a conversation. So many restaurants get this wrong. Lighting is soft creating a cozy, intimate atmosphere. Have eaten here many times - usually lunch on a weekday - and it seems like people converse in normal voices - I swear it has to do with the atmosphere. And it definitely feels like a very "local" place, not touristy. Hard to pull off in the heart of Plymouth. Highly recommend read more

Came here for brunch on the Sunday before St. Paddy's, right before the crowds started. Parking was easy there's a small lot and street parking. Had the lamb stew and an Irish coffee, and my friend had the breakfast burrito. While the stew tasted pretty good, I wish there had been more meat and chunks of veggies and potatoes - it literally looked like brown gloop that had been pureed - stew should have some dimension. The Irish coffee was great and my friend liked her burrito. Service was friendly, a bit slow at times, and the ambiance is cozy what you'd expect from a typical Irish pub. I'd return for drinks at some point. read more

Had delicious clam chowder and Cod Ruben. This place hit the spot! COD Ruben was an interesting twist on a regular Ruben. Nice crispy fillets, clam chowder was thick and hearty. Server was friendly. Ambience was typical new-England fairly dark. I would definitely come back! read more

I go here at least once a month with my family. The food is always so good. Make sure you get a reservation. It is very busy, but it is worth the wait staff is very friendly. Food is always fresh.. never had something here I didn't like read more

Love this place. Our absolute favorite local spot. Food, drinks, staff...all are spot on. Too many favorites to pick from. We love hearing first time visitors commenting about how Yelp reviews steered them to the right place. Family owned and managed. Loyal staff and customers. A local place but all are welcomed. Brunch is served on Sundays (I think its 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.). Don't miss this spot when you're in the Plymouth area. read more

Food consistently good as is the service. Great local restaurant! Be sure and try the bread pudding! read more

My family and I were in the area after a family day in doing plymouth tours that ended at the mayflower. A quick yelp search of some places nearby and we landed with Dillons Local. We didn't really expect much as it's your typical local sports bar setting but were pleasantly surprised with the food. My parents, mom in particular, is quite picky when it comes to american food but she enjoyed her burger as well a small bite of everyone else's food haha. my brother in law and i got the fish and chips which was amazing. Fiance got a burger as well and he enjoyed it. Sad got a pasta which he got with shrimp and he thoroughly enjoyed it as well. over all was a good spot with some really good food! read more

Wife was at a conference, so I had to waste 8 hours. No, I did not spend 8 hours there lol I stopped in for lunch and grabbed a seat at the bar. Bartender was super friendly and attentive. Drinks were good and the burger special was awesome. The other staff was there was really nice too. Overall, good spot for a quick lunch, but the menu was stacked with tasty looking entrees. read more

Service was excellent. Small romantic pub. Excellent food. Enjoyed the beet salad with grilled chicken.

Just passing through Plymouth and Yelp brought us to Dillon's Local. A nice bar atmosphere, rustic but clean. Ordered the fish tacos and short ribs-grilled cheese sandwich. For appetizers we had a cup of clam chowder and an order of fried calamari. The fish tacos were good but I expected that the toppings would add more zest and appeal to the dinner. The short rib sandwich fell flat on its face. A great idea but the short ribs were short on flavor or a sauce that was memorable. The clam chowder was exquisite as was the calamari. The servers were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very comfortable. They recommended great beers to try. A good crew. I'm giving our meals 3 stars, service, appetizers, and beer 5 stars. Overall a 4 star experience. read more

I brought my mom, sister, and niece here for an early dinner on a hot August afternoon, for my mom's birthday. A couple items caught our eyes, but I had a few questions. I'm not a huge fan of onion in my shepherd's pie, so I asked the server if it was super onion-heavy.. she relayed that she also wasn't really into a lot of onion, but that they were minced pretty small in the dish, and that she liked it. She recommended trying the shepherds pie croquette appetizer, instead, which I did. Perfect suggestion by her! Fluffy, perfect ratio of ingredients, and a perfect brown gravy covered the 4 large croquettes. I'll definitely be back for these, alone, unless I just order the Sheperd's Pie entree, which looked huge when dropped off at the table next to ours. Everything we had was spot-on. Guinness Fish and Chips (the beer batter was as crispy as it gets, which is how I like it,) Bourbon steak tips with a huge portion of mashed potatoes and green beans, French onion soup, and the Creole Salmon. A really great meal- I'm excited to have a new go-to restaurant when I come to visit my family here. read more

My dad and I both had the Portuguese kale soup. Tasty, though the chicken broth made it a bit salty and it could have used more beans and potatoes. Our meals--the cod Reuben and chicken Marsala came hot and looked amazing. But we both thought something was missing; they tasted a bit bland. Given the freshness and quality ingredients, I would give it another try, but given the reviews I was a bit disappointed. Staff were friendly and the place was clean. read more

Incredible food. Incredible service. From start to finish, our server provided attentive and humorous service and great recommendations. We tried the sweet potato fries which were crispy and well seasoned. Next, the pretzels and beer cheese which was creamy, rich and soft. The Buffalo chicken eggrolls held a punch of flavor and were stuffed full of filling. The fish and chips and fish tacos tasted fresh and portion was large. The highlight was the brisket grilled cheese. I highly recommend checking out this local dive bar for fantastic food. read more

You can see why locals love this place, although it's quite small so on a crowded night like tonight, there can be a bit of a wait for a table. As an out of towner, Dillon's offered exactly what we needed: a good meal at a good price. We had some chicken fingers and burgers for the kids, salads and the veggie risotto for the adults. Everything was delicious, although the risotto needed a bit more salt and seasoning to it. Service was excellent, ambiance was nice. We would return on our next trip to Plymouth. read more

Delightful place. Great food, especially the Sunday brunch! Good beer selection. It's tiny. Seating is limited but I think it can accommodate a larger party. Parking is definitely a challenge. But the atmosphere and food are worth trying to figure it out. read more
