Finally, now that the 'newness' wore off, 4 of us were able to grab a table with ease. There was live music & they post on their Facebook page regularly with updates on food & cocktail specials. We decided on appetizers: nachos w/ chicken, mozzarella sticks & potato skins. The nachos were really good - I liked the chips they used. The mozzarella sticks were a bit underwhelming, similar to frozen ones I've purchased at BJs. The potato skins tasted like they were made in-house. ABOVE & BEYOND MOMENT: Our server, Jackie, was friendly & patient with our requests. I had asked if they could make a spicy margarita. She asked the bartender & they were out of their jalapeno tequila so they asked if it was okay to muddle fresh jalapenos instead. I said I trusted the bartender to do what they thought best. When my margarita was delivered, the Jackie asked if I wouldn't mind tasting it to make sure it wasn't too spicy. I think the fact they custom made the drink & ensured it was to my liking was great. I see mixed reviews about the prices. I honestly found that appetizers averaging about $15 was on the high side. We'd like to go back for dinner, maybe when there isn't live music. Very loud due to the small space. The ambience is a cleaned up version of J.J. Goodwins & there are (2) pool tables.

Big Dog Pub opened recently in Deerfield, in the former Ma's Cafe & Tavern (moved to Northwood)…read more They serve breakfast, lunch, dinner & drinks. This cozy space has table seating along the walls and seating up at the full service bar. There is dog related country decor and a digital jukebox. There is also another informal dining room across the hall. This new "Big Dog" pub in Deerfield is not to be confused with "Big Dog" eats in Milford and "Big Dawg's" eatery in Haverhill (Bradford) MA. The breakfast menu offers a selection of egg dishes, omelets, pancakes, French toast, waffles, breakfast sandwiches and sides. The lunch/dinner menu offers a selection of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, paninis, burgers, flatbreads, pizzas, chicken entrees, pasta, and seafood. They have switched from standard fries to hand cut fries. There are posted specials on the board. The bar offers limited draft beers, beer bottles/cans, wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks. The prices seem fair and they offer happy hour 3-5pm. I stopped by Big Dog Pub for dinner recently during the week. I was greeted and told I could sit at any open table I'd like. The seating at the bar was busy, so I sat at an open metal table next to the bar. The server brought over a menu to look over. I decided on the Fish & Chips special ($16 plus tax) and the Sweet Sausage Sautee ($15 plus tax). Both entrees came out together in 17 minutes. The portions were good on both. The fish & chips were very hot, crispy coating on the outside, tartar sauce on the side. The hand cut fries were firm and tasty. The shredded creamy cole slaw was sweet & tangy. The sautee dish had a mix of al dente cavatappi pasta tossed in a light cream tomato sauce with peppers, onions, small sausage bits and shaved parmesan cheese. I managed to finish both entrees and got the check with Toast QR code which was $33.64 with tax and before tip. The internet is very weak in this part of Deerfield, so had to pay the normal way. Overall, I enjoyed a great filling meal at Big Dog Pub. I will have to return here for breakfast!

Here's a "merged" review of the bar & the country store…read more.. It's a bonus that there's a local bar nearby for folks in Barnstead. We don't have much, but now we have a country store AND a new bar to hangout at. It's literally maybe a 3-minute drive for us from our house. The parking is limited, but we were told it's okay to park across the street at the church. We haven't had to do that, but there are nights when the spaces are full. Because of COVID & other things, it seemed to take FOREVER for them to get their permits & to be open. This was originally just a country store, but they did a great job converting it into a "half" restaurant with a very large, U-shaped bar. Lots of wood & your typical bar flair. What I love is that they left the "Meat Dept" sign hanging. I actually miss stopping in to get some of the freshest, best priced chicken & steak, but oh well. The menu isn't very expansive, with lots of subs/sandwiches. The appetizers are nothing special, but greasy & good if that's what you're after. The pizza is good, pretty typical. They offer beer & wine for spirits. Some beer on tap & then others in bottles or cans. They also have some spiked seltzers in cans available. The staff is very laid back & the owners are usually ALWAYS there. They work a lot! There's a sliding barn door that goes into what's left of the store that they kept which is primarily fridges with beer, some shelves with bread & even bloody mary mix (random!) & other stuff that I haven't looked at. They have an ATM that works when it wants to.
