My grandson lives in Lordship near the Little Pub and when we visit him we have to eat at The Little Pub. It ha a beautiful water view, great service, and delicious food. Thanks for being there! read more

Cobb salad minus the meat is decent every single time. Service is super inconsistent. Sometimes it's attentive, sometimes not. It's almost always busy. We've never had to wait long for a table even during peak outdoor seating weather. Great location and views, read more

Went here for dinner. The location is excellent, right on the LI sound with water views as you are eating. Looks like parking can be a challenge since much of the nearby parking is for town residents only. Very casual, airy vibe with quite a bit of seating inside or out. I had the fish tacos which were good but they only give you 2 which seems a bit skimpy for the money. Th menu is interesting with many good sounding choices. The service was somewhere between terrible and non-existent. Took an hour and a half for what should have been a half hour. Not good. read more

The location across from the beach is beautiful. This was our first time trying Little Pub, we had a very nice experience. Sat outside to enjoy the view. Our server was really pleasant and very friendly & attentive, I wish I remembered his name to compliment him. Food was good, not a huge menu - kind of pub fare vibes. Would have loved a mashed or baked potato option as a side because I don't eat fries but the burger was tasty. Appreciate that the music was fun but not too loud. We went here because last time we were at Outrigger the music was so loud we couldn't even have a conversation. Will definitely be back to Little Pub! read more

I'm at Little Pub Stratford weekly - and they never disappoint. Best Sound views, patio/bar/inside seating options...food and service are 10 out of 10. read more

I love the Little Pub! This review is only of the hot lobster roll. It was the special for $29. It wasn't good. The tiniest claw ever but the rest of the meat was like lobster bits. It had the texture of crawfish. read more

The Little Pub My siblings and I are looking for a gathering place suitable for a birthday celebration for one of our sisters in January 2025. While browsing online I saw a listing for a beachfront hotel in Connecticut that was known to our family before new owners took it over a few years ago. The Surfside Hotel took what had been Marnick's Motel and upgraded it in the past few years. Attached to the Surfside is The Little Pub. My hope was that the Pub might serve us well as we selected a venue for our gathering. I spent the night earlier this month at Surfside and had dinner at the Pub. Service was excellent, the bar was well-stocked, and the dining area had real charm - aided in part by a nice fire in the stone fireplace. Drinks were reasonably priced and promptly presented. I started with the New England clam chowder and found it piping hot and very tasty. I had the beef fajitas - more than I could finish but nicely seasoned and again, right-off-the-grill hot. My visit was a good one, and it seemed from the vibe the bar patrons love the Little Pub. I can understand their positive attitude. Things to keep in mind: brunch is served starting at 10 a.m. but only on Saturday and Sunday; otherwise, the pub opens at 11:30 a.m.; the bar may be open after 9 p.m. depending on the day. read more

We were staying at the surfside hotel attached to Little Pub and the restaurant service was terrible. Unfortunately, we were ignored after receiving our food for more than 25 minutes on a night that was not busy. This was also a birthday staycation for my wife which ruined our experience. The hotel was great but little pub service was not. In addition to the bad service we also had a whole avocado pit in the wrap we ordered and couldn't finish the meal. We went down the street to Riley's afterwards and had great service. read more

Wanted a spot by the beach and my coworker suggested this restaurant. Totally enjoyed it with my co workers. Simple menu and easy drinks to order. Smelled the sea water and it's was nostalgic to me seeing I'm from the islands. read more

They don't take reservations not even for a party of five. I'm not showing up with five people and standing around waiting for a table here. Frankly the food isn't that great that I'd want us to waste our time standing in their hallway. Very disrespectful to the consumer to not take reservations in this day and age of open table. Going to a place that does. read more

This is a gem! When we went inside the restaurant it was packed, it has a very nice view of the beach, and a very good service! The food was very good nothing went wrong, I recommend eating here! read more

I go to this place at least once a week through takeout, and I've been to the restaurant a plethora of times. The food is always amazing, the service and location is incredible, and I've never had anything bad experience from them. Dare I say, the best place in Stratford! read more

We came here for lunch with a few friends on a Monday at lunchtime. Place wasn't packed. Lots of empty tables but our party of 7 had to wait almost 15 minutes to be seated. So not a good start. If they were short staffed, it definitely didn't look like it. Anyway took a while for a waitress to show up and get our drink order. She wasn't particularly happy or helpful. Got in some apps then ordered lunch. The food was really good with one notable exception. The patty melt was served to one of our party on a bun vs rye bread, which the menu clearly stated was supposed to be rye. So not a patty melt. You would think the waitress would notice It's right in the water in lordship so great ambiance. Not sure I would go back read more

We went over to Little Pub for the first time. The last time I was there it was Marnicks! They did a fantastic job renovating the restaurant. The main bar area is inviting and gives that wonderful beach view that I always went there for! The food was fantastic. My husband got the chicken sandwich and raved about it! I started with a massive (awesome) pretzel. It came with a massive bowl of cheese and honey mustard. I will always pick a big soft pretzel and honey mustard and I would pick this one again for sure. I rounded off the meal with the sticky chicken bites. My friends got "buck a shuck" oysters and were very happy with how fresh they were. The two frozen drinks were absolutely awesome. Frozen appletini was everything I didn't know I wanted. The night ended with pickle back shots. The debate may be out about pickle backs, but this spot was great. read more

Can't believe I've never Yelp'd this place, I've been here a lot. Such an affordable neat place overlooking the ocean and the Stratford seawall. I love everything about this place, the location, decor, seating I can go on forever. They have a patio with an outdoor bar for warm sunny days and comfortable seating inside as well. Service is always on point, place always has great specials as well. Went here again recently this past Monday for an early dinner. My wife and I got the Sticky Nuggets for an app, truly unique and delicious. Good size serving of boneless wings tossed in General Tso's, trust me it's amazing. For my entree I got the Habanero Jack Burger, cooked a perfect medium rare with pepper jack, jalapeños, smoked bacon and a habanero aioli which gives it a nice kick, good size as well. Fries are also the perfect side with this. My wife got the Chopped Cobb Salad which is her staple and go to selection. Love Little Pub in Stratford. read more

Service was a little slow. Felt like I could have had a couple more drinks, the lobster Mac I didn't read the menu thoroughly enough to see it had truffle oil in it. The amount of lobster was 10/10 though! More than I figured would be in there. The clam chowder was delicious read more

Little Pub - Lobster Mac n cheese - New American Near Me - Stratford, Connecticut

First time here was for lunch on a Sunday. Place was crazy packed since it was a nice day out. Gorgeous view and right on the water. For an appetizer we got the Buffalo cauliflower (gluten free) it definitely had quite the kick to it so just be aware and also slightly undercooked. But overall pretty good. For my main meal I wound up getting the cilantro lime chicken salad which I enjoyed. The chicken was very flavorful and tender and got a nice fresh half of avocado. I would definitely come back here and would like to try some of their other items on the menu. I would say there a good variety for just about anyone. read more

Start with the ambiance. Maybe it's just my bad luck but the last two times we have been here they have had half or nearly half of the small dining area taken up by very large groups. Tonight's treat was a group of more than 20 sorority type girls, letting out piercing screeches and randomly banging on the tables the entire time. If they're going to accommodate groups that large they really need more servers. We always get slighted for bigger tips and it's disappointing. Tonight they hosted what appeared to be a very large group of sorority sisters who were celebrating a birthday. We know they were celebrating a birthday because they felt free to clink on their glassware, wedding style and give loud speeches in the middle of the restaurant while the rest of us looked on like unwitting wedding guests. No one tried to rein them in at all. They were standing up, dancing, running back and forth to the bathroom in groups of up to ten at a time, weaving in between the close set tables of other guests. I do get that the restaurant isn't going to turn away all that money but idk. I felt like a host could have maybe reminded them that they were not at a frat house and that other people exist and are paying customers too. It was a milestone birthday celebration for me too and it was disappointing. I know that the restaurants bottom line is money and that they aren't going to do a single thing to jeopardize a big tip and a big tab but a word to the wise that this has been a circumstance several times when I've been to this restaurant. Having said that, the food was not up to the usual standard tonight either. The steak tips were tough but sides were good. The pickle wings were interesting and we will probably give it one mire chance. But if we encounter this party room atmosphere again that'll be it for us. Third strike and all. read more

Staying at the hotel for the weekend and had dinner here a few hours ago and took my sandwich to go. Waitstaff was great, atmosphere was great, but I opened my box to heat up my leftovers and the bug in the photo fell out of my sandwich. I've worked in food and I understand mistakes happen but there is no reason for this to ever happen. Hoping to hear back with some kind of solution from the hotel or restaurant. read more

Food is great and the drinks are too the service is awesome has awesome views of the water

I've been wanting to try any of the Little Pub's for nearly 10 years, I think way longer than this location has been open, but for whatever reason it just never did. Finally had a reason to be in the area for dinner and made a point to come. No idea why this only has a 3-1/2 star rating. I'm not sure if it's quite a 5, but I want to help bump it up a bit. My only issue is it met and didn't exceed my expectations but they very high so it's not really their fault. Menu was on the larger side and had a lot of creativity which is always a huge plus to me and almost as important as execution. When I go out to eat I want something interesting and unique. Sure there was a lot of standard beach restaurant classics, but lots of things with a twist. Location couldn't be better. Adjacent to a tiny beach with lots of free parking. You wouldn't come here to swim but I could totally see someone coming to relax with a book and catching some rays during a staycation. Food was great and came out almost too quickly (less than 15 minutes, maybe closer to 10 at 5:30 on a nice summer Saturday). My wife got the Kick'n Chicken Sandwich, my daughter got the Sticky Nuggets, and I got the Three Hands burger with BBQ instead of Buffalo sauce. All was great, only negative is the fries could have used another 30 seconds in the fryer. We didn't have drinks, but $50 before tip for 3 people seemed pretty reasonable. Will absolutely come back and recommend this spot to others. read more

The service was terrible it seemed like the staff didn't want to be there. The hummus on the platter was gross and clumpy. Won't be returning. read more

Busy and short staffed is not a good intro. We have been here over an hour and 30. The poor waitress is trying hard but its to much, and then food orders made come out wrong, which creates re work, long delays add to the angst and just nothing good to say. Onion soup looked good. Came after meal was served and sent back. Fish tacos' tasty but a tad over deep fried. Tenderloin tips, tough, sent back. Took 10 minutes to order a drink, ten to get another drink and never a chance to order another. We loved the idea someone took this great location and wanted to make a destination. To bad. Maybe it was an off night, but it was so off we can't get past the 1 star it earned. read more

Little Pub - View from deck seating - New American Near Me - Stratford, Connecticut

This restaurant was somewhat of a disappointment. We drove out to Stratford to try it. Even though the dining room was pretty empty, it took a long time to get service. I ordered mango Moscow mule to start but there was no mango to speak of in the drink. We ordered the pickle wings as an appetizer and they were just OK. Nothing special. I had heard good things about them and was looking forward to something more unique. Two people in my party ordered the Reuben sandwich, which took an extraordinarily long time to prepare, so we just sat there while everyone else was being served before us. The Ruben and Rachel ended up not really being an authentic Ruben but more just a basic sandwich. I ordered a salad and it was decent. The ambience was all right and you do get a beautiful view of the beach and the Sound. Unfortunately, not everyone can get a window seat to fully enjoy that, but it is a plus. It was a decent experience going to this location, and I always enjoy the Lordship Boulevard area of Stratford. However, I do not think it is worth revisiting this restaurant, given our mediocre experience. read more

I can't stop thinking about their Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese, I've been to the one in Fairfield and both were comparable in taste. The chicken was breaded perfectly and very flavorful. The view at this location though is incredible, waterfront views. Can walk along the beach to help digest afterwards! After our meal, we moved over to the bar for a few drinks. Looking forward to returning. read more

Love this place. It's close to my work to enjoy a warm and cozy lunch or dinner. Their menu is a bit limited and has some different choices than most pubs. Started off with the French onion soup which was delicious but wishing for a bit of crunch from the cheese being toasted but not a big deal. Then I got kick'n chick'n and I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce on the sandwich. Ended up eating just the plain chicken which was flavorful and a good crunch. They have some interesting options. Overall love the atmosphere, and the view. Can't beat being right on the ocean! read more

What a great experience! Our waitress was attentive and patient with our table - we had our kids with us and we are very indecisive and to boot I left our leftovers on the table and when I came back the table was already bussed (rightfully so) and they offered to make me what we had left! Food was really good- the Allstars were the calamari (super tender), the poutine and the chickn and cheddar wrap. We had a bunch of others too but those were great. We also had the Sunday special for drinks and so good! I'd say only con is that it's so quiet! We were one of the first tables and having the kids it made it seem like we were so loud! Maybe some low playing music will help. Otherwise great! I've been to Wilton one many times and glad to have one a little closer. Now come to central CT! read more

Pretty good considering this is among the few eating establishments in the Lordship area. Atmosphere was "very neighborhood." Service and food were fine. Noisy as they had trivia night going on in competition with the bar music. We were in the mood for something more polished but being out of town and unfamiliar with the area, this establishment worked. Very beach. Very family oriented. read more

Great experience here last Friday lunch! The food was all amazing, the drinks great and service stellar (thanks Nathan!). We sat on a picnic table by the beach so nice view too! The moo shoo pork tacos were to die for ... crispy edges but still tender and juicy and a flavor burst I'd return for! My husband ... who's pretty picky about his steak loved the tenderloin tips and their sweet potato fries were perfect! The chicken and waffles had a crispy light beer batter and juicy chicken center (my choice next time I think!), and my daughter was very happy with her burger! A little after-lunch walk on the public beach made for a lovely day! Thanks Little Pub! We'll be back!! read more

Never enough staff. 2 poor servers for the whole place. The bartender also serving tables in bar area. Chairs are hard. It is very loud always. Specials always with too much spice and a couple of different aiolis. Whatever happened to simple, yummy dishes? My mom always loved Marnicks. The view is all that's remained. read more

Great all-around experience. I went here during the summer time and sat outside. Perfect little location by the beach. Service was fast and food was delicious. I've been back several times and always get one of the wrap sandwiches. All of the menu items have been great so far! I'll be honest, the jingles on the radio commericals are what brought me in, and the restaurant for sure did not dissapoint. read more

Nice litter restaurant by the water. Parking could be a little iffy during prime time but we stopped by here on a Monday afternoon so no issue with parking. Service was good. Food was good. The restaurant got a thumbs up from everyone. We over ordered with the appetizers. BAKED PRETZEL: a little on the dry side STICKY NUGGETS: good and definitely sticky BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER: good and have a kick. My favorite of all appetizers that we ordered. Must get. SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST EGG ROLLS: was fine. Nothing special. And yes, we ordered entrees too. PULLED PORK MAC AND CHEESE: good BIRDS N' BEES CHICKEN SANDWICH: chicken nicely cooked. KICK'N CHICK'N: delicious. Huge. KALESTORM: loved. VENTURA: burger cooked the right temperature. Flavorful and juicy. HAMBURGER CHOPPED SALAD: hamburger cooked well. Unfortunately, other than lettuce not much of the other chopped ingredients. Overall delicious food, good service, and great view. read more

This was a hidden gem. Attached to a kind of jersey shore motel right located on the beach in Stratford, I was pleasantly surprised. Our server/bartender was really friendly and fun. The pub-style menu was diverse and had lots of options for all tastes and dietary preferences. I had a wedge salad that was tasty and the lettuce really crisp. I followed with a super delicious burger- nothing crazy but juicy and perfectly cooked. I enjoyed my meal as did my guest. It's a busy place so get there early-reservations aren't taken Sorry-no pics were taken. read more

Had the most amazing muscles today at lunch at LPS. Wish they were on the regular menu. EXCEPTIONAL JOB LPS!

Went out to lunch with two friends...always loved Marnicks...especially the location...service took a long time...we finally ordered...I ordered the mushu pork tacos...very tasty but sadly very very salty...and when we asked for our check...twice...we were told getting it...while she did other things...as if it wasn't important to her...it wasn't crowded...also the metal seats are very uncomfortable...sadly I won't be going back... read more

Once again the food was delicious. I sat at the bar and the service was not bad but not the best. I had to ask for silverware was never asked how the food was. The bloody mary was excellent. I would give the bartender a 5 out of 10 for friendliness. I will go back because the food is so good here but service needs improving. I was in the restaurant business for 20 years when I was younger and generally tip between 20-25%. Today my tip was approximately 18%. read more

Visited Little Pub's food truck at Two Roads Area One. The service was speedy, which made me happy because I was heading to an event at Area Two. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was disappointing. The pretzel was lukewarm and instead of beer cheese and honey mustard, we got two beer cheese....both of which were oddly solid for a dipping sauce. I think in the future I will stick to their restaurant locations. read more

Great place for a lunch business outing. They have an extensive menu with plenty of options to please all.

With a side of a great view, easy to enjoy anything here read more
