The Tipsy Toboggan has been by faithful go-to every time I visit Fall River and everything else is closed. The Britney Spears in the family compared to the Tipsy Seagull's Jamie Lynn Spears, the Toboggan is a bit elevated -- and not just because it's slightly above sea level. Is the food incredible? No. But did I devour a buffalo chicken bread bowl in two portions over the course of a single night? You bet your Portuguese a$s I did. read more

The Tipsy Toboggan - Upstairs - American Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

I've visited this restaurant twice before and never had this type of experience, but today was extremely disappointing. When I walked in, I stood in the waiting area for about 10 minutes waiting to be seated. The restaurant was not busy, and there were two servers sitting at the bar chatting with the bartender who clearly saw me but did not acknowledge or greet me. A simple "Hi, we'll be right with you" would have gone a long way. Eventually, the bartender (a tall young man) approached me without greeting me and started walking upstairs. He then turned around and said, "I forgot a menu," as if it was an afterthought. When we got upstairs, he placed (more like tossed) the menu on a table that still had a dirty cup on it that looked like someone had just been drinking from it. Instead of addressing that, he immediately walked over to another table to check on two guests who were already dining. After finishing with them, he walked right past me without asking if I'd like to start with a drink or acknowledging that I was even seated. There was absolutely no hospitality it felt more like hostility and indifference. The ambiance is aesthetically pleasing, but unfortunately that's where the positives end. The food is mediocre at best and definitely not worth overlooking such poor service. Customer service makes or breaks a dining experience, and today it completely broke it for me. I won't be returning and would recommend trying one of the many other restaurants in the area instead. read more

The food is not good, but not terrible. The service is fine. The ambiance is where things go haywire. The decor is good, but the live music is so loud you cannot talk with your friends. We were a party of 9 and none of us could talk to each other. If I was at a concert, the volume is fine, but we were there to eat, drink, and have some laughs which not possible there. It was loud that the server couldn't take our order. read more

I'm so so sad that a place that was a one time favorite served me one of the worst meals I've had. We went on. Wednesday night and they were definitely short on help. I told the host to not worry about it and we would wait, these things happen. We were seated upstairs and not waited on for about 10-15 minutes. The staff was maxed out and apparently the kitchen had issues. Not the staffs fault at all. I ordered my favorite dish, which is a Panko Parmesan Cod with mashed potatoes and vegetable. I've had this dish many times here, but this was by far the worst. The piece of fish I had was very thin, and although it was Panko Parmesan, it smelled like fish and tasted like it was bad. I took a couple bites and did not finish it. The side salad I ordered also tasted like fish. I still can't figure out if it was a salad dressing or the lettuce itself that was contaminated. I will say that the mashed potatoes and the cocktails were delicious. The waitress did her best to take care of us and did a very good job considering she was slammed. He still is beautiful in there but they really need to step it up. read more

The Tipsy Toboggan isn't really a pizza place. It's a gastropub that happens to serve pizza. That distinction matters. The 10-inch pies landed somewhere between Greek-style and bar pie, though the execution didn't commit to either tradition. Toppings ran all the way to the edge. The crust was thicker than a classic bar pie cracker. Not bad ideas, just half-formed. The real problem was consistency. There wasn't any. Within a single pie, you'd get one slice with a perfectly golden undercarriage and another that was clearly underdone. The cheese distribution varied. The sauce appeared and disappeared almost at random. When you got a bit more of it, the flavor improved. Between the two pizzas we ordered, one wasn't better than the other. Just differently inconsistent. The plain cheese outperformed the pepperoni. The pepperoni itself wasn't memorable, but the cheese had moments where things came together. Usually in the thicker, better-cooked sections where the sauce happened to congregate. The vibes are awesome. They've decked it out in full holiday regalia. Paper snowflakes, rustic log railings, antler chandeliers dripping with ornaments, Moravian stars, that blue underglow lighting that photographs well. Mounted deer heads. A bear. It looks like a ski lodge designed by someone who commits to the bit, and I mean that as a compliment. The staff seemed nice when they materialized. The problem was the materializing. They need more bodies on the floor. When someone came by, they were friendly. The gaps between visits were long enough that you noticed. The Tipsy Toboggan does a lot of things. A creative gastropub menu, cocktails, live music, themed events, decorations that deserve their own review. Pizza isn't its calling card. Come for the vibes. Order the steak tips or the prime rib. The pizza is something they do, not something they do well. read more

Portuguese pizza & kids' meals. This week the kids meals are free!With this economy it is hard to treat our kids like we could 5 years ago so a place giving this deal for April vacation shows it really values family time.I absolutely loved that my kids could use etch a sketches,sit by the fire&color instead of being a screen kid with a video game pad on the table like some places have. The pizza was delicious with thick cheese and outstanding flavor. Service was excellent. read more

We went to the Tipsy Toboggan last night and we absolutely loved it! The outside lights were so pretty, especially on a chilly night, and inside was cozy, warm, and there was a fire burning in the oversized fireplace. The bar is large and there is seating both upstairs and down. We were seated upstairs and it was very nicely decorated with throw pillows for our backs, beautiful star shaped lights, and also Halloween decor. The builkding reminds me of a lodge, with honey colored wood and a high ceiling. Jamie was our server and she was friendly, attentive, and she answered all of our questions. For our drink, we ordered the Temptation Bowl for Two, and we chose the cider sangria. The drink arrived in a large bowl, with a shot of 150 that was on fire. So cool! The sangria was delicious - This was a seasonal cider, but the temptation sangria is always on the menu. We ordered two pizzas - one with cheese and one with chourico. Both were really good with a thin crust and cheese all the way to the edge. The other items on the menu look amazing, so we will be going back to try them. Also, there are nightly specials such as prime rib night, shrimp night, and they care currently offering a Thanksgiving Dinner special on Monday nights. Lastly, I wanted to compliment The Tipsy Toboggan on their Veterans Day special. Last night was Veterans Day and they were giving all veterans a free meal. How awesome! Loved seeing so many veterans around me and know that they were being appreciated. read more

We stopped into The Tipsy Toboggan for RI Food Fights' "Lord of the Pies" event and were greeted with a warm, fun atmosphere that matched the cozy, lodge-style vibe of the place. We tried the Fall River Pizza, topped with chouriço, garlic, tomato sauce, pizza cheese, peppers, and scallions. It was delicious -- flavorful with a nice kick from the chouriço. The crust reminded us of a 'bar pie', though a bit thicker, and while the center was a touch soggy (likely from the generous toppings), the overall taste more than made up for it. To drink, we had a Canned Heat Double IPA. It was a little flat but still had good flavor and paired nicely with the pizza. Our bartender, who was also handling server duties, was friendly and attentive despite juggling a busy bar. Overall, The Tipsy Toboggan offered a great experience -- tasty pizza, solid local beer, and a fun, welcoming vibe. Definitely worth a visit. read more

We made a reservation for Prime Rib night on Wednesday. We were seated at our table within minutes. Arrived at 6:15 and only 4 servings of prime rib remaining . The place was beautifully decorated for Halloween inside and outside. It's too bad the weather wasn't warmer because it would be great to enjoy the courtyard. We started with the buffalo tenders.Prime rib arrived with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. The prime rib was tasty but not the best or most tender I've had. Guess I shouldn't expect great when it's the special at $20. Pictures of food are not great due to lighting. We will return just not for any particular special. They also do a great Christmas display read more

Instant Five Stars. Service, food selection and quality, rustic chic ski lodge atmosphere with fireplace, sports tv, bar, and outdoor igloos for rent in winter. We visited in April and it was lovely. Every single thing about this place is excellent, and you would never know it from the street, driving by this nondescript old brick mill building set back off the road like so many great adaptive reuses in Fall River factories. Find it, and venture in. Everybody on the toboggan gettin' tipsy. read more

The ambiance is at its best here when it's Christmas. I absolutely love the festive winter's decorations. Service here is always top notch , very friendly , quick, and informative . I have ordered many different items on the menu and have never had an issue with how it was cooked or the seasoning. Today was no different. Not only was my fish cooked perfectly but my portion size was huge. My wife's meal was also perfect. The meat was very tender and the vegetables were nice and el dente . My favorite place in Fall River ! read more

We stopped at The Tipsy Toboggan for a late lunch. Service was attentive and top notch. The atmosphere was very relaxing and holiday decorations were top notch, they go all out for seasonal themes. The food was outstanding as we had the American Burger and Fish and Chips. Portions were generous with amazing fries which were served with our favorite, malt vinegar. Draft beer selections were varied and cocktail specials. I had the dirty martini and it did not disappoint. Menu prices might be on the high side but I thought it was a good value for the portion side. Highly recommend you stop here for a visit if you are in the area. read more

We've visited several times with friends and family and have always enjoyed it, so tonight was a surprise. Arrived at 5:30 on a Friday with my wife and 10-month-old daughter. The outdoor patio was completely empty. The downstairs dining room had little to no activity, I don't recall seeing anyone seated. Upstairs was quiet enough that there was minimal noise coming down. The host greeted us, asked our preference, and was grabbing menus when another staff member stepped in and asked if we had a reservation. When I said no, she told us the next available table was 8:30. No glance at the floor plan. No waitlist offer. No "let me see what I can do." Just the bar, if you can find a seat there, while I'm standing there holding an infant. I've spent 20+ years in hospitality, the majority of my career in restaurant management. One of the most important lessons I carried through all of it is this: when someone walks through your door, you acknowledge that they could've gone anywhere tonight and they chose your place. Especially in today's economy, where people are deliberate about where they spend their money, that matters. It should be felt from the moment they walk in. Tonight it wasn't even close. A two-top with a baby on a Friday at 5:30 is a gift. Sub-90-minute turn, easy cover, out before your dinner rush peaks. Any host worth their weight knows you work to find a way, or at minimum you look, you offer the waitlist, and you treat guests like you want them to come back. None of that happened. She didn't look at the floor. She didn't offer options. She gave us the bar suggestion and moved on. Checked the website from the parking lot. Reservations available at 6:45 and beyond throughout the night. We could've booked on the spot and been seated within the hour. Tonight we chose Tipsy Toboggan. Next time we'll choose somewhere else. read more

Just stopped by for the RI Lord of the Wings. I wish it was a bone in wing but these boneless were we great! Loved both of the sauces, especially the hot honey which was not just a splash of mikes hot honey thankfully. The tenders were FRESH not frozen, which we love to see. Just another reason why tipsy rocks. Great service as always and love the decor. Even had a live band on a Sunday which was awesome. Always a great time here and must go to spot in Fall River read more

Awful. Second time there and totally disappointed. Thought I would try the Tipsy Toboggan again after a previous horrible experience. Well they proved me right yet again. Their promotional lobster roll isn't worth it. Barely any mayonnaise, lobster claws were tough showing that the lobster was overcooked and the bun was burnt. Don't waste your time or money here. They clearly aren't about satisfying customers. read more

The service was great and the food good! I got the winter salmon with double mashed potatoes and subbed out the chef veggies which were squash and peppers. There was an orange and cranberry chutney on top that had good flavor but was mostly onions and not many cranberries. I got the bobbin for apples drink and I unfortunately did not like it :( it was strong and on the bitter side so I barely finished it and just licked off the yummy caramel drizzle around the rim! I was with about 9 people and they all seemed to enjoy the food but didn't say it was anything special. The entire restaurant was decorated for Christmas so it's definitely a good spot for some pictures! read more

Was in the area and stopped in for a quick lunch. The place is unique as it has a lodge vibe, with a touch of pub thrown in. The waitresses are attentive and efficient. Both food and drinks came pretty quickly. I had the chicken and shrimp Mozambique. The sauce was good. The fries tasted like they were previously frozen, the shrimp and chicken were bland of themselves and really needed the sauce to provide flavor. The rice was a smaller grain rice that didn't help round out the dish. A little more seasoning on the proteins and a jasmine type of rice would have made the dish better. I'd give the place another try in the future but I can't say it wowed me. read more

The Tipsy Toboggan - Chicken & Shrimp Mozambique - American Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

It's been years since we last came here. We no longer live super nearby so we end up picking other options. Tonight we remembered this spot and decided to come for an early dinner. They had live music and we were able to be seated right away (Sunday in March at 4:30). Our server was friendly, and took my husband's gluten allergy seriously, making a point to write it down. The menu was clear what options could be made gluten free. He got a cocktail and I got a Super Bock on draft. We were both pleased with our drinks. For entrees, I got the chicken Mozambique pizza. It was tasty, didn't quite hit my craving for chicken Mozambique, but it was a good option! My husband got the pot rot risotto and was super pleased with how tasty it was. We will be back soon. Great atmosphere, service and food. read more

The Tipsy Toboggan - Chicken Mozambique Pizza and Pot Roast Risotto - American Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

We went here for "RI Food Fights" pizza month. Firstly the decor of this place is immaculate - it's cozy with wooden decor with a warm fireplace and high ceilings, with themed decorations visible from all seating areas. It's fun, kitschy and lighthearted. The service was also friendly, with frequent check ins. The food however was okay - the cheese pizza was boring and the Mozambique pizza was also simultaneously overloaded and underwhelming. I'm glad I was able to try to this place but probably wouldn't come back unless I was already in the area. read more

Stopped in for dinner while in the area tonight. We were greeted quickly and sat where we requested. The server Connor was at our table almost instantly. We ordered a spicy margarita, and a mojito. The drinks were just ok, not bad bit just ok. We ordered the Pot Roast poutine for an appetizer. I ordered a bread bowl of chowder and my wife ordered the parmesan cod. The poutine was disappointing. The cod and the chowder were pretty good. The atmosphere was great and the service from Connor was stellar. We will definitely visit again and hopefully have some better drinks next time. read more

While in town some locals recommended the Tipsy Toboggan for cocktails and appetizers. It was such a cute little place with a ski lodge vibe to it. There were so many cocktails to choose from, which they said the manager takes great pride in the cocktails and comes up with all of their names. We all tried different drinks and enjoyed them all. Also, highly recommend the no bake cheesecake. It was a different take on cheesecake, but was so tasty! Very fruity, so know that when ordering, but so good! We also happened to be there on a drag show night, so was fun to see different events they host! read more

Just ok. Went for Lord of the Wings and they didn't even have wings, only tenders... weird. Tenders were very good but just not what we went for. The calamari was decent but I feel like there was too much of the fried jalepenos compared to the calamari. Pizza was solid. Service and ambiance were both good. Menu was definitely on the smaller side. read more

Such a great bar! I mainly go for drinks, but the food is amazing too! It's a great spot for a quick lunch or a gathering of a large group for dinner. The servers and bartenders are always wonderful. The drinks are fun and unique just like the space itself. It's adorable and you must go! read more

There was a group of us who went ax throwing afterwards we went over for dinner at the tipsy toboggan. We were lucky to get a seat someone had canceled. The place was very busy. What a beautiful building. The decorations were still up from Christmas and we're very nice. There are igloos outside if you wanted to sit in one of those , I'm sure reservations are required for that. There was a guitar player playing music throughout dinner and later on at night, they have a band to come in. Food was pretty good. Service was great and the hostess was wonderful. read more

I have always loved this restaurant and usually rate it at 5 stars but tonight was disappointing. I ordered the seafood linguine special which was described as having lobster, scallops and shrimp in a vodka sauce. The shrimp and scallops were present with three of each but when it came to the lobster the meat was so obscure I couldn't find the tiny ground up pieces with a microscope. The flavor was mediocre and not one of the chef's best dishes. I will be back just not for this dish. P read more

Food and decoration were amazing. Bar height is to tall, hard to eat and drink. lol.

So my wife and I did not agree on the food here at all. First let me say that the place was decorated very nicely and the staff was absolutely amazing! We started off with drinks, my wife had the white sangria, which was fine, but I wasn't crazy about my wine choice . We then had the calamari, which she loved, but I thought was just okay. We both had the Ferry Street Steak (their take on Portuguese Steak). She loved it, but the flavors just were not right for me and I didn't care for it. One thing that we could agree on was that their chocolate mousse was the best ever! So maybe my taste buds were off this night. After all, my wife has good taste, look who she married! I would definitely give them another shot before saying never again. read more

I've never had steak so tender as this! It literally melted in your mouth! It was so amazing! We took home some of their house made Chocolate Mousse and it was the best ever! Win win! read more

First time ever going to this place and it did not disappointed. Zach was very helpful with all the knowledge he had when it came to the menu. Got the tips and sips, and honestly so good. The mashed potatoes and amazing, loved that there were chunks. Got the Brussels apps, was pretty solid the sauce carried but still very good. Local IPA was great and the espresso martini creme brûlée is to die for so good. Family loved their food, ambiance was nice plenty of tvs to watch the game and there was a band but they left half was through lunch. Would definitely recommend!!! read more

First an foremost: Most affordable igloo experience! Make a reservation and at reservation time they charge you $5 a person. That simple and affordable! The Tipsy Toboggan is an awfully cute establishment. Decorated very cozy. Decorated appropriately for the current season. Think snowflakes and lights. They have updated their outdoor patio area to be a small winter wonderland for the igloos. If it wasn't raining it would have been nice to sit by their outdoor fireplace. Nice staff. Good menu (think some seafood the rest American fare.) Prices are a little high but we were here for the igloo experience! We started off with their well known buffalo dip. It arrived in a bread bowl. Let me tell you, the bread was the win! I enjoyed the pieces of bread smothered in the dip (then the bread was super soft.) My husband did have a difficult time ordering a beer. They are serving Canned Heat (a brewery literally across the street) but were out of 2/6 beers. Limited options here, would like to see them add some more if theya re going to run low... I had a specialty drink for the day strawberry lemonade. It was a rough mix where nothing was strong enough to dominate the drink in flavor and it just wasn't cold. I had the pot roast risotto. The risotto was Delicious! Even more so those bites that had the pot roast sauce on it but there wasn't enough sauce. My husband had the fish and chips- he said was fine. My kids had a cheese burger and mac & cheese- no complaints. True score: 3.5 read more

I visited this place in May and I've been thinking about the pizza I ate ever since. I'd honestly make the drive from the north shore to Fall River just to eat it. As Dave Portnoy knows, that's how you know a pizza deserves a high score. The patio was adorable with twinkle lights and couches. We brought our dog and everyone was so sweet to him. Months later my sister was wedding dress shopping up the street and I suggested she and my mom come here. They too couldn't stop raving about this place and kept saying they'd make the drive to return. My mom has celiac and was incredibly pleased with the gluten free options. This place is a gem.
