Great beer! Even by the rigorous New England standards, this place has really great beer. What…read morereally makes it stand out is that their fruit beers actually taste like the berry/fruit they were fermented with. No artificial flavoring and also not painfully sour. The strawberry beer was outstanding - just nice beer with wild strawberry notes. Same for the tangerine. Really excellent! I was also very happy that their outdoor patio is spacious and allows dogs and that they also have tents for incident rain (a must, in MA). Very helpful and kind staff, thank you guys!

I went to try Choate Bridge Pub in Ipswich with a couple of friends last week. I hadn't been for a…read morefew years. It's just as great as it always was. The food was great, fresh, and hot. Even the coleslaw and tartar sauce were made with care. The servers hustle like crazy. They treat you like good friends. Some diners may have frowned on service. Those girls never stopped, and they smiled and laughed. (Who doesn't need that these days?) It's sea scallop season, so even those scallops are expensive I had to do it. The scallop dinner w/fries and onion strings was a bit over $35, but there were 14 huge, right off the boat succulent scallops. The burgers also looked great. Get on over there.

**Classic local watering hole with solid food and atmosphere**…read more The Chote Pub is definitely a neighborhood spot through and through. You can tell the regulars get priority attention from the bartenders, but we eventually got taken care of too - just be prepared to be patient if it's busy and you're a new face. The food was good with very generous portions that definitely give you your money's worth. Drinks were well-made and hit the spot. We loved the setup for watching football - great views of the games from multiple angles around the bar. **Important heads-up: This is a CASH ONLY establishment.** Make sure you stop at an ATM before you arrive, or you'll be making a quick exit to find one. The vibe here is very much old-school local pub - if that's your scene, you'll love it. If you're looking for something more polished or trendy, this might not be your spot. We enjoyed the unpretentious atmosphere and will likely be back, but it's definitely worth knowing what you're walking into first. Bottom line: Come for honest pub fare, generous portions, cold drinks, and a genuine local experience. Just bring cash!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I like the idea, it's pretty to send the little glasses out in a wood tower, but in reality it resulted in a lot of spilled beer and a messy delivery. Beer if great enough to be coming back for.

I ordered a flatbread, and was interested in their cake of the month (Oreo chocolate). The flatbread was good. Pretty typical, though the balsamic glaze definitely stood out and I wish they had put a little more on. The cake wasn't all that great - the half oreo on top of the cake was 100% soft with 0% crunch left. What's that about? I visited kind of late in the month... did they get all the cakes for the month frozen and just thaw them out as needed? I'm not really sure but the cake was a little dry and with the soft oreo it was just not the best. Overall the restaurant had kind of a mid-feel to the food but the prices were high. Staff was extremely attentive and everyone I interacted with (hostess, server, manager-type person) was very upbeat and enthusiastic. 5+ stars for service. 3 stars flatbread, 2 stars cake.

Beers used to be cheap, there's no reason for this place to charge so much. Pizza toppings got ridiculously tiny, meatball pizza had nearly nothing on top, so different than before. Sausage, same. Pizzas didn't even go to the edge of the pan, tiny. No plastic knives and forks unless you ask for them. Really? So many obvious signs that the kids running the show are literally squeezing every penny out of their loyal customers. The paper thin limes in the mixed drinks is laughable, how cheap can you be Riverview???

We went back again last week and must have caught them on an "off" night: we think the usual chef was off because it was obvious the person in the kitchen didn't know what they were doing. All three of us had salad as our starters which were OK: large but were already dressed with an abundance of dressing. My companions both ordered Ruebens. The meat was tough as shoe leather. It might have been ok if the cook had used a meat slicer to cut the meat in thin slices but it was sliced in two thick chunks, making it impossible to eat. The server said that ppl were always sending it back...hmm...The server/bar tender was very nice and took those off the bill. A meatball appetizer was ordered and was very good. I had chicken wings as my second course (well done) and they were OK. My S-I-L had an order but didn't specify "well done", so hers were chewy and not so good. We were very disappointed in the food but thought the server did a great job.
