Whiskey bacon cheeseburger
Mele F.

While visiting Plymouth Rock area, we went by Yelp reviews to choose Dillon's Local. We wanted to be away from the congestion of the square. Local merchants did not recommend this place but once they told us the names of the ones they liked were right next door, we felt they were just being good business neighbors. So we stayed the course and glad we did. Small place with attached free parking. Bar vibe but a great selection of food. We all received our dishes super hot and fresh. French Onion is a must and if any soup broth is left save it for the steak and cheese sub that needs to be ordered. Cheesy with mushrooms onions and red peppers. I ordered an appetizer as my main- mahi mahi lettuce wraps. Great flavor and perfect size for one as entree or to be shared. Fish and Chips delicious! Whiskey Bacon Cheeseburger was good. We all shared and left over full. Clean bathroom but there is a dangerous step that we all seemed to hit even though there was ample signs. lol. Good choice for lunch in the area.

Chicken Marsala
Ron H.

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.

Cape cod Reuben

We loved this place so much that we stopped back a second time for carryout on our drive back to Boston! We first wandered in on a cold, rainy afternoon and were immediately charmed by the cozy atmosphere. The service was warm and welcoming, and everywhere we looked, steaming plates of comfort food were making their way to happy diners. The cod Reuben with sweet potato fries was outstanding, and the clam chowder was exceptional. In fact, after trying chowder at six different places during our trip, my husband and I both agreed this was our favorite by far. The shepherd's pie looked incredible as it passed our table, but we'll have to save that for next time. The only real downside is the limited parking, but it's a small trade-off for such a wonderful spot. If you're in the area, don't miss this hidden gem!

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.

Portuguese hash
Janet D.

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.

Steak Tips

The food was so delicious, we ordered the steak tips, and were not disappointed at all!! The service was good, and the ambiance was nice and intimate while still being a good place to get together with others.

The food lasted about five seconds - no time for pics. You're welcome.

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.

Fish taco
Rosanna N.

Friendly service good food and good prices. Had the fish taco had a nice pineapple salsa and sweet chili sauce on it really good

Steak and eggs
Jackie S.

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

Dillon's Local. . Refreshingly clean, friendly pub. Minds blown. Souls happy.
Elyse H.

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

Onion Soup
Chris B.

Onion Soup and Short Rib Grill Cheese Sandwich....it was so good it doesn't disappoint

Bourbon Steak Tips
David B.

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.

Rueben and fish tacos
mark s.

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

Garden salad-refreshing (not a fan of the croutons though-they were stale)

The food was amazing. My only complaint is up charging for cheese on a burger is ridiculous. But at the end the burger was really good.

The food is great! The staff is friendly, and the place has good vibe…read more Everything about this place is amazing. Try the wings, the cornbread, and the fries....all on the appetizer menu. All are outstanding. And when you get to the main courses, it just gets better. We'll be back again & again. What a great evening we had!

Trendy looking spot in the main drag in Plymouth, a few blocks from Plymouth Rock. Bar on one side,…read moretables on the other, with window view down to the water. Bartender handled the whole joint on a Saturday lunch. -- Patty Melt: Nice straddling between traditional and innovative. Brisket patty, neither thick nor thin, with a soft grind, cooked showing pink (I asked for medium rare if possible). Bacon-onion-jalapeño jam with some zip and bacon saltiness and bendy texture. Caramelized onions with a hint of sweetness. Partly-melted American cheese. Griddled marble rye with unnoticeable butter. Not perfection, but an enjoyable mix of flavors and textures. -- Fries (with the patty melt): Thin, crunchy shoestrings, aggressively salted, in assorted lengths. -- Quinoa Bowl: Bright flavors, good textures, per my wife. -- Ginger Soda: Made in house, string Ginger flavors, not too much sugar. Very good, though at $7, it's gotta be something you're certain you want. Solid experience. Hard to get a full picture without trying more things, but good enough to try more. And many good options for vegetarian dishes and mocktails.
