Went on a Saturday afternoon in early April. The outdoor seating was in place, but still a little nippy for sitting outside, so we went in. Fairly empty inside.The flights are all pre-chosen per the menu, but the waitress said she'd put a custom one together - but they really didn't have a huge selection we were interested in anyway. No cask ale selection ('cask is broken'!)Quite a limited menu, we split a 'pizza', which turned out to be a flatbread (they should describe it correctly!) which was ok, nothing spectacular, and not filling for 2 people for lunch.

Friendly service, hot coffee. That's the good. The bad - my pancake were not cooked on the inside, still wet, but overlooked on the outside. (Turn your griddle down, )The eggs were eggs, nothing above the ordinary. Home fries were nothing special, not even crispy. Bacon was good. Hash was decent. Would go somewhere else next time.

So delicious! We had them cater dinner for our conference and the whole experience was fantastic. Very professional, food was packed perfectly so nothing leaked, and everything tasted amazing. The attendees really enjoyed the meal, and I really enjoyed working with American BBQ! Can't recommend them highly enough!!

My nieceâs rehearsal dinner was held here. Super service, appetizers, and main dishes. The large room to the left accommodated 60 people easily. Professionally done, with a welcoming touch. Nice job!

Restaurant was recommended by an antique dealer in town. We had lunch and were delighted. Fried clams were pricy but were sweet and not chewy. Clam chowder was also filled with clams and was superior and superb. Staff was friendly and attentive. We will return!

You enter this keen looking facility, the staff are warm, professional, and hard working. Our server Karen was quite diligent in her service to us.They had a special St. Patrick's Day menu; three of our party of four chose from that menu. This writer picked the Bunless Hamburger.Beverages arrived promptly. Now I commend the BT for serving properly brewed iced tea; too many facilities in this area don't. Happy points for the tea.Two of our party ordered the Corned Beef/Cabbage. Mass quantity, thin on the protein. My wife ordered the Guiness Beef Stew, exceptionally thin on the protein, the broth was lacking density and flavour. I doubt it would sell in Galway, Limerick, or Cork.My burger was an excellent piece of protein, appropriately cooked, and quite good. It was served on a conglomeration of vegetables that lacked flavour, the fineness of the meat was not supported by the base. A side salad called "Caesar" was really plain but a strong complement.Prices were reasonable although the tea charged by the glass was a little high; as good as it is.High marks for service, Karen is determinedly proficient. The kitchen had some hits and a few misses.

Driven by for decades and finally stopped for lunch. Limited table and counter seating. Extensive menu for breakfast and lunch. Tuna melt was classically prepared on grilled buttered white bread. $4.95. Burger club with fries. $9.95. The pies looked delicious and were very popular. Many flavors of cream pies and fruit pies.

Fried clams were first rate. Pub burger thick, delicious and cooked to perfection. Grilled chicken sandwich top notch. Interior is dated but in a charming way. Everything was a bit old fashioned which is to say utterly enjoyable. So pleased we CBR. Keep up the good work. A real antidote to todayâs plastic world.
