We love this place, especially sitting outside on the huge patio and outdoor bar, along beside their beautiful garden. There's fire pits, outdoor patio furniture. Food is farm to table. Menu is great. Service has always been fantastic there. read more

I was really on the fence between 3 and 4. I chose 3 because despite the atmosphere, the food and drinks are not very memorable. Beautiful spot near water and the outdoor atmosphere is the best aspect about Rye. They had live music and corn hole on the lawn with an outdoor bar. We ate inside due to an almost 2 hour wait so make reservations! I will post the pics of our dishes - the only dish everyone seemed to enjoy was the Fried Chicken Bowl. read more

Disappointing experience at The Rye Tavern. We had a very upsetting experience at the Rye Tavern in Plymouth when I was bitten by a dog during our visit to their outdoor patio. I contacted the restaurant owner afterward and received a somewhat apology but her response was disappointing. I was told that "the responsibility is with the pet owner" and that I had been given the owner's information that evening. I had to be treated for a bit at the dr's. While I understand that the dog owner was ultimately responsible for my expenses, I expected the restaurant to show greater concern for a paying customer who was bitten on their premises. The incident itself was bad enough, but the lack of accountability and concern from the restaurant made the experience even more disappointing. I hope they reconsider how they handle their guests and how to handle situations like this in the future. I would not feel comfortable returning and the owner's lack of care sealed the deal! read more

I have been to Rye Tavern 3x now and I unfortunately remain underwhelmed. While I think the concept and the atmosphere of the restaurant are nice, the food itself is not up to par in my opinion. I'm not sure if the food is underseasoned or what the issue is but this has seemed the case with all the plates I have tried. Also worth noting, each time I've gone with a party of 5-6 and we've been seated outside in the back corners of the property (which is beautiful!) but have had to wait 10-15 minutes on two occasions to have a server greet us and take drink/food orders. Wish this could have been a higher review because the potential is definitely there. read more

First time here and will be my new spot! Chowder was 10/10. Nothing like it that I've ever tasted and I will be bringing people back for that alone. Entrees were decent, would make different choices next time but everything was done well! Drinks were delicious and service was on point! We loved the outside ambiance and I can't wait to be back. read more

I sooo tried to like this place, my daughter and some-in-law love it and gave me a gift certificate. Sat inside...place was maybe 1/4 full but me right next to the service entrance and station...grand central station. Appetizer came out quickly and then right behind was dinner and I purposefully waited to order no time to enjoy. Scallops were way overcooked and I guess it was my fault for not paying attention to detail "Who puts Scallops on top of corn kernels"? Don't Order. They gave me 5 tiny scallops...they should have been the appetizer. Called and left a voice mail for a Manager to call. Never heard from anyone. read more

First time coming here tonight and it's now one of my favorites in New England. In business since 1792! Must be doing something right. That old time tavern feel still holds strong. I had the Lobster Pot Pie - recommended by our bartender - now one of those meals I will reference as a top standard for years to come. My soul is now warmer and my faith in humanity grown stronger. I will be back someday indeed. Oh and they source all their veggies from the vegetable garden out back. Epic spot. Get out there if you're in the area! read more

Rye Tavern - Lobster Pot Pie. You gotta be kidding me. Insanely good. Near perfection! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Plymouth, Massachusetts

Loved it many years ago it's really not the same. Very expensive. Food is mediocre. Beautiful setting though.

I ate here three years ago for historical reasons. The food was okay (3.5 stars) and the ambience is, well, historical! We went back last night and the food BLEW US AWAY. I'm a self-appointed food critic (mybuzzardsbay.com) and I often judge a restaurant by their bread service and their chicken dish - both were great. The star was the Duck - perfectly cooked and the Beet Risotto (blue cheese, mint, pesto) was sublime. My wife is a huge Caesar Salad fan and she said "This is the best Caesar I've ever had!" Why? The crunchies on top, the dressing, and the white anchovies on the side, My Chicken was perfectly seared and moist and the veggies (roasted potatoes, carrots, and baby onions made a perfect autumn celebration feast. We'll be back! read more

I don't usually write reviews, but I got the street corn french fries here and after taking half a bite of a fry, I knew these were the best fries I've ever tasted in my life. I woke up this morning still thinking about them. Highly recommend. 100/10. read more

Amazing meal, amazing service, great extensive menu. We absolutely love it here. The burger is delicious and the Brussels sprouts are simply the most delicious on the menu. Such a staple for us to eat at - we love it ! read more

Great when you want to eat outdoors. Great vibe beautiful surroundings and yummy food.

We were so excited to try this restaurant, but our experience was very subpar for the price. With tip, we paid $200 for LUNCH, and were disappointed. We started by sharing a cup of chowder, which was amazing and got our hopes up. My husband started with one of their tequila cocktails and it was excellent as well (I had a beer that was 12 dollars - which seems high to me, but ok). But then we had the popcorn chicken appetizer and it was just 'meh'. We didn't finish it. We ordered a second drink the moment our entrees arrived but they didn't arrive until our meals were fully eaten! The waitress apologized and said the outdoor bartender was the only bartender on staff. But you shouldn't order a drink when the meals arrived and not get them until the plates are cleared. Most of the patrons were inside on this 100-degree day so having only an outdoor bartender made no sense. I am guessing they were just under staffed as the summer season gets going, so maybe that was an anomaly. The meals were also just meh - 41 dollars for a wedge salad with hanger steak that was just so so, and the falafel was just ok too. Too acidic tasting and just not worth the price. We loved the atmosphere and the interesting menu so we plan to try again and give it another shot. But spending $200 on a lunch experience and being disappointed is just a bit much. The prices are too high to not have had a better experience. But we appreciate some of the interesting things they are doing with the menu so will try again this summer and will update accordingly. read more

We have frequented Rye Tavern for years. We recommend it to our friends and look forward to dinners there. My wife and I went there Wednesday evening. The service provided by Devin was excellent and the dinner was great. We were disappointed in the tiramasu we ordered for dessert. It was awful. A mistake must have been made as it didn't have coffee or chocolate powder. Basically a bowl of mascarpone with hard lady fingers. read more

Service was barely there and inattentive. Ordered 2 white sangria that were marginal at best. Then ordered 2 smash burgers. They were so greasy that they were inedible. The fries were good. Was here two years ago and the original burger and truffle fries were outstanding! Please bring them back. The location is nice and we liked the garden. With this experience I will not be coming back and would not recommend it to others.​ read more

Incredible ambiance dining outside during these beautiful late summer days. The outdoor bar is now enclosed with fun party lights. Low key music, great service and really good bites. The summer stone fruit salad with grilled shrimp was impeccable. Service was great too. Lovely spot to dine while staying at Mirebeau Inn and Spa! read more

we stumbled upon this place a year ago and it truly was a happy accident. The smash burger is the best I've had.

One of the best bites on the south shore! read more

Rye Tavern provided one of the best meal experiences I have had in the Cape/Plymouth area. A friend recommended this for a double date night spot and she couldn't have suggested anything better than this. From atmosphere, to service, to food -- every part of our visit was superb. Highly recommend making reservations as early as you can and if you are able to -- reserve a gazebo. We did this and loved it. We started with Caesar Salad and their clam chowder, both fantastic. You cannot come here and skip the chowder. It's truly the best I've ever had. It is a whopping $18 or so, but it is piled with deliciously fried crispy clams and it is totally worth the price tag. I almost requested it without the mashed potatoes, but they work perfectly. I got the prime rib as my entree which is a Wednesday special. It was wonderfully smoked and prepared. Their horseradish cream sauce is decadent. Legit nothing to complain about. read more

Really wanted to love this place, growing up in the area for over 4 decades, was excited to spend the money on a great meal, a treat...staff,in its entirety, rude and unprofessional. Gossiping and chatting about other staff members, while offering dirty looks. Very cold dispositions, uncomfortable vibe amongst all the toxic banter in front of guests. No smiles,straight up rude as if we were doing them a favor to patron the establishment. Food, 18 dollar very small basic salt ridden ceaser saled. Asked for reccomendation for entrée got ..."well im not a fan but people get it alot" I tried it anyway, again laden in salt couldn't even taste the fish essence. Again dismissive staff, unwelcoming to say the least. Being in the industry myself,what a sad and embarrassing disgrace. Unfortunately, I wont be back and will have to share my experience with those that inquire. Do better, not hard to at the very least crack a smile with a warm welcome in and ask how your meal is, is it? Ambiance was awesome but not worth the price nor the humiliation. . read more

Service and atmosphere a solid 10!! Usually the food is also a 10. Enjoying food and cocktails here is about quality and a bit fancy. The "bar pizza" doesn't live up to these standards. read more

We enjoyed our meal as the food here is high quality and the chefs are creative with a farm to table presence. My jalapeño tequila Bloody Mary was delicious with the added bacon too. Service was good as we sat outside. Our waitress was there when needed but didn't dote. We did have to ask for a water refill once, but she was training someone who was sweet. The ambiance was nice outside on a perfectly sunny Sunday AM. Love brunch here! read more

Illness. That's not the memory of a restaurant meal you'd like to have. My friend ordered his steak medium rare. It was delivered rare--very--rare. It was cut and displayed over a bed of mashed potatoes, so it would have been impossible to put back on the grill. He spent the night in the bathroom, not in bed. Never again. There were other problems, but they are minor in retrospect to the evening he had after eating his meal. read more

After 4 out of 5 of us were served, we waited over 15 minutes for our 5th. By then, all of our entrees were cold. I sent mine back and told them not to bother. The owner/manager said they were having printer problems. I flagged down 3 different servers trying to get our order complete. Finally, after 15 minutes, our waitress showed up and said it would be a few more minutes. The order was for scallops which only require 2-3 minutes to cook. They didn't charge me for the meal I sent back or my drink. They should have credited all 5 meals since 4 were cold and the 5th took forever. Really weak read more

Great spot for outdoor cocktails and apps. If you are looking for a quiet dinner with quality prepared entrees, this is not the spot you are seeking. ATMOSPHERE: Outside is fun on a nice day when Old Sandwich Road is not too dry & windy (the passing traffic can kick up a lot of dust) and it's not too humid out. Inside is crazy loud even when all the tables are not full. It does seem to be a place locals have special celebrations so the larger groups tend to get louder as their meal progresses. BAR: The bar is outside. The cocktails are well made. If you sit inside and order a drink, it may take a while as the bartender is also outside. It was about 20 minutes before our drinks arrived. My Bloody Mary was excellent and spicy. FOOD: We have had the apps here before and they were good. Twice I have tried burgers and they are not good. This trip, 3 of us ordered a medium/rare, medium and medium/well. They all came out cooked exactly the same which looked like medium. The toppings were either missing ingredients or incorrect. The meat quality was just ok. The eggs Benedict lacked flavor and was disappointing. The Strawberry & Burrata was the one entree that was good. SERVICE: Everyone is pleasant, however, the service is quite slow. It was 40 minutes before we had our burgers. I have eaten at other places and can tell when short staffing causes delays and I don't remove stars when that is the case (although will note in my review as a heads up). I saw plenty of people in the kitchen and what seemed like plenty of servers. We were seated near the back and that door is where the servers come and go, attending to patrons both inside as well as those sitting outside. The door is constantly opening and closing. When we were there it was quite humid, so each time the door opened, humid air whooshed in. It made for an uncomfortable temperature while eating. read more

Excellent time. Had not been in years. Arrived a few minutes early and sat at the outside bar on a 50F night and we were all so comfortable with the heat lamps and fire pit. Blankets provided if you want. Really Knowledgeable bar tenders. We started with steak tartar which was soft and tangy with well toasted crunchy bread. Best clam chowder ever said one. A meal worth traveling for. Duck was perfectly cooked with roasted fall veggies. Short ribs went well with clearly homemade papardelle pasta. Portions are big and even a table of big eaters had leftovers. Place was well lit and very friendly. And the ride in along old sandwich road was, well, and experience: IYKYK. Will return. read more

We've come to Rye Tavern many times for dinner but we decided to try the outdoor experience for the farmers market lunch on Mondays (only open certain times of year) and it was just a phenomenal meal. Aside from the live entertainment and tailored local farm to menu table, the experience is a true pleasure - being able to shop a local farmers' market before and after you eat a delicious lunch. If I could give it more than five stars I would. Rye Tavern's farmers market lunch is as charming as they come. read more

First time here. We sat at the bar and greeted right away. Bartender was very pleasant and gave us her recommendation. We started with the charcuterie board which did not disappoint. Entrees were Chicken Milanese and Salmon Bowl. Everything fresh and full of flavor. Had a cocktail after dinner outside on patio. A beautiful array of fresh vegetables planted and flowers. Definitely will be back!! 10/10 read more

Well we are there a couple of weeks ago and had a decent meal. This time not so with new menu. The mussels a few week ago were delicious this time boring not much flavor at all almost dead. Go back to the regular burger as smash burgers are so last year and don't taste like anything...yuck. The pasta fagioli was good and the cod was good. What was totally outrageous was the bread for $12 which was four slices of cold French bread a bit of butter with a bit of honey speed around 1/2 of the plate just pathetic. We won't be back anytime soon for sure. Winter menu far superior and that wasn't all that great. Plus yelling at those on our table because of the noise level is unbearable. Too bad as it has such potential but just doesn't cut it now. Btw we did check out the encounter afterwards now that was pleasant and Dave the bartender is great. Won't be back anytime soon. I mean really $12 for crappy bread and butter?? What happened to the focaccia and spice bread. Oh yes there weee only three pieces of bread so $4 a piece. No thank you. read more

Love the outside bar! Excellent drinks pomegranate martini to die for! And also delicious small plates.

Excellent service, drinks and food. They also a wonderful outdoor patio during the Summer.

Once you may your way down the dirt road to find this place, you will be happy you did. Very cute place, the bar can seat about 6 and looks like they have a full menu. The Brussel sprouts were so, so amazing. My husband loved his clam chowder and was excited by the mashed potatoes in there. The salmon was cooked perfectly. I thought one of the reviews said they has bread, which I was excited about, but they did not offer any to us. We will be back. read more
