    Great food! Interesting location. The place looks like it would be hopping on the weekends.

    What a neat place with a wonderful staff. When I saw the menu, I knew that my wine selection was a…read moreglass of The Prisoner Cabernet as that would be a great compliment to the description of the Swiss & Mushroom burger that jumped off the page at me. Sue and the bar tender, Jeremiah, however, huddled over the custom drink menu with him explaining several of the drinks Sue asked about. After listening to her carefully describe her taste preferences, he finally suggested a custom Woodford bourbon with lemon juice, amaro, and aperol. Yeah, I don't know what any of that is, but she loved it! And we couldn't pass up on one of the appetizers we saw: Crispy Brussels Caesar Salad, which was described as "crispy Brussels sprouts, house made Caesar dressing, Parmesan, croutons." Well, we just had to have that for sure! But because that would all be too much food, Jeremiah suggested ordering the burger and the salad and he'd split both up for us. Terrific! And man, was that salad more than you could imagine.... Wonderful. Good thing I thought to get a picture of our meals before they were gone!

    This place used to be one of our go-to spots. We were regulars. We brought friends. We hyped the…read morepizza to anyone who would listen. And honestly -- the pizza is still some of the best on the Seacoast. That crust is unreal. Back when Patrick was managing, the vibe was incredible. He made a point to connect with people, let us sample new beers on tap, and made the place feel like a neighborhood hangout you actually wanted to support. Since the management change, though, the experience has taken a real nosedive. The current manager is frequently outside chain-smoking on the front patio, tossing cigarette butts on the ground, then walking straight back inside to serve tables without washing his hands. On one visit, he brought my food to the table absolutely reeking of cigarettes -- which completely killed my appetite. Service is hit or miss now. The one consistent bright spot is Jade at the bar -- she's fantastic and the only person we reliably get great service from. We also really miss Thursday Bingo. It used to be a fun excuse to make a special trip just for dinner and a game. It's such a bummer because this place used to be a favorite. The food is still excellent, but the leadership, cleanliness, and overall experience need serious attention.

They were potato shells, with American cheese melted on top with a strip of bacon... they tasted freezer burnt. As I said, no fryer so everything came with ridge chips. They were very good. For main meals we got 2 chili dogs. The chili on the dogs was pretty good, but I knew what it would do to me later. The grilled buns and dogs were just fine, the service was great! The decor is definitely poor people's pub style. So it all depends on what you are looking for. Cheap, frozen to table food, that's more economical? Then they're the place you'd like to hit up! If you're looking for a bit more then I'd suggest going elsewhere. They are handicapped accessible and they have a large private parking lot. They're just across the street from the Lovell lake boat launch !

This is definitely a dive bar where locals come regularly. The food was okay nothing special but did the job. The turkey BLT with cranberry mayo was missing the mayo. It could have had more lettuce and bacon. We also got the chicken bites and fries which are an appetizer, these have seen better days. I do have to say the hobo special which is a Reuben sandwich was outstanding! That is one thing they have going for them. It's not somewhere I would go out of the way to eat at but if you are passing thru it's not terrible especially because passing thru there are not many places to stop at.
