Nice people, but others looked upon me as a Martian. Of course, i was the only non- white in the place. Still had fun... all by myself. Definitely, come back. #gozatelocaralloboricuapower read more

My favorite place in Walpole! Great food, great selection and a great atmosphere. I love the beer and bacon chili, and I have yet to be disappointed ordering one of their salmon dishes (though the tacos stand out as my favorite, so far). Bring back the turkey tips and curry fries, please! I only knock it a star because it is a bit on the expensive side. read more

The food here is good, but the kids menu doesn't fly with my kids. The salads here are great. I had the steak and blue salad which was nice. My kids had the chicken fingers and fries. This is the second time they would not eat them. To greasy. Service is good. read more

I have eaten here more than a few times, mainly because I long for a good local Irish pub. Let's face it, no pub outside of Ireland is exactly "authentic." The mail order bric-a-brac doesn't cut it. This pub is no different. The music is soft 90s/2000 former hits. The menu attempts modern cafe-American, while throwing in a few Irish names. Today is a Wed. at 5 pm. Sat at the bar. Nice bartender, very good and attentive. She pulls a good pint. Some Irish accents, which bodes well. Played it safe with fish and chips. Nice piece of fish. Good batter. Fries crispy and seasoned simply with salt. Bad coleslaw though. Less than fresh, overdressed and too sweet with dried cranberries. Keep it simple and fresh. As we were having a major flood warning and severe thunderstorms, I asked if we could switch one television to the news. "No, I'm sorry, we have to keep it on golf, or baseball. Rules." Nobody was watching the golf. Two or three people we're watching the news on their iPhones. read more

Fantastic food and great atmosphere. New to Walpole and so happy to already find our go to spot.

My husband and I went there a little over a month ago for a quick bite to eat. We chose to sit at the bar. It was around 5:00 PM and not very busy, but it took a good 10 minutes for the bartender to take our drink order. Then she became distracted because someone's food order was up...she totally forgot about our drinks! When she realized, she came right over. We each ordered a salad. I had the steak salad and my husband had the grilled salmon salad. As far as salads go, they were very good. The thing that really "bugged' us was that the owner decided to open the front windows. There are no screens on them and all the flies came in. I mean really...if I wanted to be swatting flies off of my food, I would have eaten outside on my deck at home. Also, I wanted to mention that those front windows were so dirty, they really needed to be cleaned! read more

I stopped by the Raven's Nest last week for some lunch and a few beers. I had the pizza and was impressed. Decent selection of beers and the place was very clean (it is fairly new). Bartender was very nice, and overall I liked the place. read more

Worst bar and service we have every experienced! Looking for a Friday night place to have dinner with friends. Dine every Friday night with check average of $200 .At the Bar , bartender ( long black hair) as we waited 10 minutes for refill of drink responded very freshly " I am busy". More interested in patrons down end of bar. Asked to speak with manager, no response till we said are not leaving bar seats. Work at a fine dining restaurant , our bartenders would have been fired for her attitude! Never will come back , guess they don't care about their business! Don't go ! read more

The service and food are consistently top notch. Great and varied selection of foods for every taste. I'm a big fan of the grown up grilled cheese but I've never had a bad meal here. read more

Delicious fried caprese appetizer!!! Great atmosphere. Parking not the best, but if that's all you complain about I'll take it!!

Best bar in town, where everyone knows your name. Clean bar, professional bartenders, great food , pretty cool to walk into a place and actually get good service ! Praise the Lord someone knows what their doing . read more

I haven't tried the food yet but this is my kind of place. Cozy neighborhood bar decorated perfect for the holiday season. The girl at the front door was very welcoming and the bartender was very friendly and attentive. read more

The Raven's Nest - American Near Me - Walpole, Massachusetts

Food is pretty good, a little pricey but nice. Good selection on the menu. Staff are always friendly and accommodating!

This establishment is great. Everyone takes pride in what they do here. The food is spectacular and the beers are always cold. Keep up the great work guys! read more

Great take on barroom good. Innovate flavors and good beer selection. Service was average at best, hence only 4 stars

Pricey but good pub food. Wait staff is kind and checks in often, and the nachos are awesome!

Best spot in Walpole! Whenever the fam can't decide on where to go, we always end up agreeing on Raven's Nest- you can't go wrong! Food is delicious, atmosphere is great, the only complaint is that parking can be a bit difficult. read more

Very disappointed. I have been a patron of this establishment numerous times over the years since it's opening and I must say, I have always been happy with the quality of food. Tonight, my other half and I visited at approximately 5:30p. The bar was full, including someone there with a small baby (at the bar ... is that legal?). There were two "high tops" open in the front. The hostess proceeded to sit us at a tiny two-top which was immediately outside the ladies room door. When I asked if we could sit at one of the front high tops (which were each actually two two-tops put together), the hostess replied "No", that they were anticipating more business during the night and needed to save for that. When I pointed out that I was a paying customer who wanted to do business with them and asked why one of the four tops couldn't be separated, the hostess provided the same response, that they were anticipating more business and therefore saving for that. So: you have willing, paying customers that you are refusing? They did! I do not hold the hostess responsible since she appeared to be very young. But, apparently the direction of this establishment is not to accommodate all of its customers but just the ones who meet their own needs best. We left, drove up the road to the Patriot Tavern, ordered two completely awesome burgers and were welcomed with respect. Oddly, shortly after we arrived, we watched their management separate a four top to accommodate two diners. Seems as Patriot Tavern knows true customer focus. I will rate them with glowing reviews next and will patronize them again. Ravens Nest with their snooty attitude, not so much. read more

I was there on May 31st. It got off to a great start. The owner greated us and asked if we wanted a table. Told us it would be a short wait and asked if we wanted to wait in the bar, which we did. I ordered a black and tan and was given a Bass. The bartender realzied his mistake immediately, and gave me the right order. We then sat down and ordered nachos as an appetizer. The waitress brought our plates which had to be sent back because they were so filthy. She then came back twice to confirm our nacho order. As a previous reviewer stated: write down the order. Two of us ordered the jambalaya which in no way resembled the traditional dish. Four tiny shrimp, a very thin and small chicken breast and not a sausage to be seen! The "broth" was non-existent, I got the mushroom ravioli which I thought was doughy, bland and tastless. Our 4th friend got the steak tips which were tough. I agree the place looks great and was crowded - especially for a holiday weekend. Normally, I would give them a break, but since they've already got one establishment, I must be frank: I would not go back and don't recommend eating there. It deserves the same fate as the Barlycorn and the Paddock if they don't raise the bar! read more

I went to the Ravens Nest last night because we saw it had recently opened and is drawing a pretty good crowd. The location is excellent, the interior is designed very well and is certainly inviting. The wait staff is very friendly. That is all the good things I can say about it... First, they don't have a beer list (I know they just opened so maybe this is going to be made soon) The waitress tried to tell us all the beers they had but it really is an inconvenience. The selection is good. The biggest issue with this place is the food - sub-par is the best way to describe it. We ordered spinach & dip appetizer - the dip had a very odd yellow color and tasted store bought. To dip, there were chips, mixed with odd looking carrots and celery, and one tablespoon of pico-de-gallo thrown on top. The chips wound up being soggy and the whole plate just looked unappetizing. I had a burger which I ordered with cheese and it came with bacon for some reason. That's fine, but the bulkie roll was clearly store bought and a value brand that I think was getting stale. The meat was not very good either. The sweet potato fries on the other hand were pretty good, not the best but worth eating. My gf ordered the veggie burger which was also store bought and equally disappointing. She got seasoned fries which were not seasoned at all other than salt. We didn't dare order dessert after that exprience. I really hope this place can improve the meal presentation and quality quickly because it is a great location and if it has GOOD food it will keep a great crowd coming. Right now, I have no reason to go back. read more

My husband and I tried the Raven's Nest last Saturday night for the first time. We will not be returning. The dining room had open tables when we arrived at 8:00 pm. There were at least 3 empty tables when we were seated. The server (pushy female) greeted us and gave us menus. She was taking our drink order before I had actually sat in the chair. Drinks arrived promptly but the diet soda had almost no ice and was warm. I requested more ice. The server immediately returned with the ice wanted to take our order. I had not had a chance to completely review the menu yet. I nicely told her this was our first time to the Raven's Nest and that we would like a minute to look at the menu. I timed her, she returned two minutes later. At this point, I was thinking the kitchen must close at 9:00 pm because she was hurrying us along so much. We ordered. To make it simple and so I could try two items at the Nest, I chose to order two appetizers as my meal and my husband ordered the Jambalaya. I let the server know I would be eating the appetizers as my meal. She responded by asking what I would like for my entree? I informed her again that the two appetizers were my entree. She then asked me if I wanted the lettuce wraps or the buffalo wings first? I told her a third time that the 2 apps were my entree and requested she bring them with my husband's entree. She replied "Oh" and left. Ten minutes later out come my appetizers and no husband entree. I accepted the dishes thinking the Nest had a really fast kitchen and my husband's meal would soon follow. I also do not return food to kitchens and then continue eating in an establishment. Having worked as a waitress in a various places I know what can happen to customers food that is returned to the kitchen. The lettuce wraps had good flavor but were super messy to eat. They were served deconstructed-fajita-style with the chicken cut in long strips with carrots and the noodles on the side. This made them difficult to wrap and eat. I prefer lettuce wraps served P.F. Chang style (chicken, veg. and noodles chopped up together). Much easier to wrap and eat. The chicken wings were outstanding and are the sole source of the one star for this review. My husband and I shared my dinner while we waited for his. We waited and waited . . . about 40 minutes after which period the server finally returned to take another drink order and to let us know that his dinner would be "right out". We waited 10 more minutes and it arrived. Tahdah!!!! At this time the server attempted to remove my appetizers. I told her I was going to hold onto what was left so I could eat something while my husband ate his meal. I reminded her that this was my original intention. She again replied, "Oh". She seemed annoyed that she could not bus the plates and gave the impression again that the place was closing soon and we were in the way. The Jambalaya was a unique creation. It looked like no other Jambalaya I have ever seen. It was bright fireball candy/Red Dye #2 in color, (and it is dark in the Nest) it had a thick sauce that was super sweet and shiny with cornstarch, it had a dried up piece of boneless chicken breast, a few pieces of sausage a few shrimp and okra. The flavor was a cross between a sloppy joe sauce, and liquid smoke. The rice was served plain on the side and appeared to be the ready made microwavable type and was even crunchy around the edges where they over heated it. All in all I think the whole dish was a frozen concoction that had been prepared in a microwave. If you like overly microwaved frozen dinners you'll love Nest Jambalaya. The server returned and we requested the check. She brought it to us. My husband put the money in the check book, put it on the edge of the table and waited for her to return. We did not have the correct change on us to pay the bill and the tip and were going to request change for a $20.00 bill when she picked up the check. She never came back. We waited 10 minutes for her to come back. She never came back. Good thing we were not paying with a credit card and better for them that we are not the type of people to walk out on a check. In the end, I had to go to the bar to get change of $20 so we could pay the bill and leave the tip. We never saw the server again. I do hope she picked up the bill. A place this new should not have service and food that is this bad. My advice to diners is to stay out of the Nest and if you do go stick to the chicken wings. read more

Great Vibe, Great Music, Great Food. There's a sense of tradition, comfort and warmth accompanied by a very friendly wait staff. read more

Great comfortable bar. Southern Bird was delicious with a spicy kick. Noticed live music and open mic nights, that's a big plus. Will return! read more

Best bar in Walpole. Friendly, good food, great selection of beer. Great place to hang out and watch a game or just socialize.

I've been going to Raven's Nest for about a year now and their food is always delicious! I love the Steak Tips, original flavor, and they cook them exactly as ordered and they melt in your mouth. I like them so much that I never ordered anything else. I've brought my Husband and many friends so I know the rest of ht menu is good too. So I stop in and it's packed so I order to go. Whole I'm waiting this tray goes by with the most yummy looking steak. It was the first time I wished O'd ordered something else. I knew I'd be in the area on Tuesday do I'd stop by then. I was going in for surgery the next day so I thought I'd treat myself. That filet mignon had been a special so they didn't have it for lunch...... but the chef made it for me and it was the best filet I have ever had, hands down! if you want an excellent meal visit this place!!! You won't be disappointed. read more

My husband and I went to Raven's Next at the beginning of September. The place was full but we were sat down right away. My husband knew the person sitting next to us and they raved about the food, said they were there just about every week. We waited about 15 minutes and no one showed up to even acknowledge us, never mind get us water or take a drink order. My husband could see the wait staff and said they all looked busy but doing nothing at the same time. We left so I cannot comment on the food. read more

Are you kidding? Some of the worst food I've ever been served in a restaurant. Visiting from out of town, we asked a local where to go for supper. Without hesitation he replied "The Raven's Nest." So we try it. Atmosphere? Check. Friendly vibe on a cold winter night? Check. Pleasant greeting and service? Check. Interesting-looking menu items? Check. But what's with the ginger salmon-- thick generous slab of filet (ok-- check) pleasing to the eye, but oh, the tastebuds. Looks good, (in the dark lighting, anyway.) Ginger can be a nice touch in sauces or other flavorings (love it in well-prepared Asian dishes, etc.) but it has gone awry in this dry, bitter-tasting crusty mess-- avoid it. It was presented on a bed of mixed field greens salad with no sign of dressing. Threw some salt down and muddled through an edible but severely underwhelming repast. And what was with the apple crisp dessert? No one deserves this curiously sour, mysterious melding of what we were informed was supposed to be maple walnut sauce(?) on semi-cooked apples. As we explored each new and odd taste sensation, my dining companion and I repeatedly marveled "What was that? Raisins? Mincemeat? A tomato? Hint of sardine?" I swear, I'm not making this up. We wondered if, in the kitchen or storage area, some adjacent condiment had accidentally found its way into this strange presentation garnished with of all things, a mint leaf. We didn't complain or send back the food because, I kept thinking, maybe the next bite will be ok. It wasn't. read more

This restaurant is the real deal. Everything is fresh and delicious. Service is outstanding and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. If you can't enjoy yourself here then you might as well stay home. Give the Ravens Nest a try...You'll be glad you did. read more

Went with a friend and we both loved it! I ordered eggplant with grilled chicken, mozzarella, and asparagus. The server was very nice and attentive while the food was delicious and served in a large portion. The menu had a lot of great options with many local, in-season produce items listed in the ingredients. Everything was super fresh. The seating was perfect with comfortable leather booths on one side and chairs across the table. Overall it was a great experience and I would absolutely go back. read more

Really attractive inside. Like the high seat tables and chairs. Very comfortable. Friendly service and great drinks. Food was good, but not great for dinner. Good place for drinks and maybe an app. read more

First time at the Raven's Nest, and I was pleasantly surprised! The drinks were tasty and the food was delicious. The fish tacos, which I ordered based on other reviews, were really wonderful. It misses a star due to the prices--a little high for the area--and the service wasn't as prompt as I'd expect for lunchtime on a Saturday. I'll definitely have to come back and check this place out on a weekend evening or during a live show. read more

Upscale bar with friendly staff, great menu selection and live music on Saturday nights. No place better in Walpole. Highly recommend pistachio chicken, bruschetta, chicken nachos, and the steak tips. Awesome lunch menu for an early Saturday or Sunday afternoon, too. You really can't go wrong with the menu; everything always comes out delicious! read more

Absolutely amazing the steaks are to die for and the apps and salads are super fresh highly recommended

Waitress didn't have a clue what about anything on the menu, didn't have any idea what gluten free meant. Food was extremely overpriced for what it was: freezer burnt Cisco burgers and French fries with burnt bacon and a stale bun? $16. And my sisters "shepherds pie" was missing vegetables. Guinness was flat, asked for another one. Never got it. Manager didn't want to be bothered with us. We won't be returning. read more

We visited Raven 's nest for the first time on Saturday evening. We were seated immediately. The place was quite busy. It took about 10 minutes before our drink order was taken. The mixed drink that I had was quite good. My husband had a specialty beer. The menu does not reflect drink prices. We ordered two a piece. The total for 4 drinks was forty dollars. They were good but not worth that. Additionally we had two appetizers and one sandwich with fries. The total of our bill with tip was$100. The food and drink quality does not warrant a bill for that amount. There are many other restaurants nearby that we will try next. One other item to note- the waitress was very pleasant but had too many tables. We had to flag down the manager to get service at one point. read more

My family and I absolutely love the Raven's Nest! It can get pretty packed on a weekend night, so try and get there early. The food is unique and delicious and the setting is relaxed, pub-style, cute. Sometimes there are Irish fiddlers playing for the crowd. I definitely recommend the pistachio chicken and fish and chips. What's best is all the hidden Edgar Allan Poe references on the menu. read more

We generally love this place but last weekend we had a horrible experience there. It started out great--with excellent live Irish music, but quickly went downhill because of truly AWFUL service. We had a young girl (probably high school aged) with a wide white headband waiting on us who is clearly not suited for waitressing. First she brought our drinks and my beer was flat. I mentioned it to her and she just shrugged. I asked her if she could get me a new one and she acted like it was a total inconvenience. Fifteen minutes later when she reappeared to take our order, I asked about the replacement beer and she looked at me like she couldn't understand why I wanted one. Then we placed our order. We have been here countless times and my children and I always get the same thing. I get the Mac and cheese with short rib. One of my kids gets the kids Mac and cheese (but asks for it to be sweet version with cinnamon that they make for adults) and the other gets regular kids Mac cheese. My husband usually gets steak tips. Not that complicated. You can actually look at the adult version and standard kids version of the Mac and cheese side by side and immediately know which is standard and which has cinnamon in it because of the color difference. Our meal took a long time to appear. For perspective, while we were waiting 2 different couples came and sat at the table next to us and both abandoned their plan to eat at the restaurant because our waitress didn't bother to say hello to them or take their drink order. They literally just gave up eventually and walked out. The waitress wasn't at all bothered by the fact that the people left. When she finally appeared with our food. I immediately noticed that the kids meals were both the standard Mac cheese. I said to the waitress I can see that this one isn't correct. She said, yes it is. I said no it isn't, it is supposed to be the sweet version (the adult version but a kids portion). I reiterated that my daughter gets it all the time. She insisted that it was the right version and walked away. I tasted it and not surprisingly it wasn't right. It took me a while to flag her down again. I told her that I had tasted it and it was the wrong version. She shrugged and looked at me like what do you want me to do about it? She didn't offer to correct it or apologize. She just stood there staring at me expecting me to say don't worry about it. However she clearly isn't a parent--let alone one of a 5 year old who gets the same thing every time she goes to that restaurant. Not exactly easy to tell a child of that age that the restaurant won't give her the dish she has been served there 20 times before, especially when there is a plate of it sitting in front of me. I asked the waitress to ask the kitchen for the sweet version for my daughter. She looked annoyed and then walked away. I then put my dish in the center of the table since my daughter was starving. She ate half of it, but I figured I could replenish mine once she got hers. A long time passed and the waitress emerged with another standard kids Mac and cheese (or quite possibly the same one as before). As soon as she set it down, I said, that clearly is not the sweet version, I can see it from across the table. She argued with me about it yet again. I tasted it and it was a standard kids Mac and cheese. I told her it is not right. She replied, "what do you want me to do about it--the kitchen has made it twice already. It is right." I was so angry by her response. We clearly had the adult version right in front of us, visually you could see it was not right and you could clearly taste it too. She never should have put it down in front of me. On twenty prior occasions waitresses at the Ravens nest managed to successfully ask the kitchen for a child's version of the adult Mac and cheese without incident. Clearly she failed to communicate it to the kitchen properly, saw that they got it wrong but delivered it anyway because she clearly does not give a crap about customers or doing a halfway decent job. She then said, I'm not asking them to make it again but I will take it off the bill. I wanted to say, "Thanks so much for taking away half of my more expensive adult meal because my daughter had to eat something, and removing a $7 kids meal from my bill." The right thing to do would have been to apologize and go talk to the kitchen to make sure they get the replacement meal right. But she couldn't be bothered. She took it away. Later, she brought our bill and overcharged us (extra beer plus the kids meal we never got) Like I said, we normally love the restaurant but this was one of the worst restaurant service experiences I have ever had. No doubt this "waitress" is single handedly driving customers away. I have never not tipped a waitress for bad service in my life, because many years ago I was one. I was very tempted in this case to do so but couldn't bring myself to do it read more

So I am a big fan of their sister pub in Waltham, The Mad Raven, so obviously I had to check this place out. My husband and I stopped in early Sunday evening and were impressed. The room is beautiful, nice decor, good music, and ample TV's for sports fanatics. They had a good selection of beers on tap and great liquor selection. We didn't sample the food, but we will definitely be back! read more

I went to the Raven's Nest on Thursday night with my husband and had a wonderful time. We enjoyed both the food and the drinks. I ordered the Steak Tips and my husband had the Shepherds Pie both were excellent. Our server was warm and friendly and even laughed at all of my husbands jokes haha. We will definitely be back in soon maybe even this coming week! Walpole really needed a place like this to hang out and get good food!! read more
