We ate at Applebees in New Boston on a Thursday evening. We have eaten at this Appleebee several times since it opened up a few years ago. We also have ordered carryout from there on many occasions. It has always had its issues,such as getting orders wrong in the carryout and having slow service. We will swear we are never going there again but after some time and a serious lack of options for a mid priced dinner, we find ourselves going there again. Tonight, my husband and I tried them again for our date night. Same story........edible food, that could be much better and strange service issues. They did comp us for our appetizer that the kitchen had messed up on, but it made me remember why we always swear we will never go back. I think we are done for a good while.

Richard Noggins Pub

My wife and I love this place! They were not serving food this time but we were not here for food. This place has a great ambiance and is the perfect neighborhood pub. The bartender was friendly and provided excellent service. I would have given Noggins a 5 star if they carried Highland Gaelic Ale (since they have a Highland Brewing Company advertising sign up at the bar). Anyway... cool place for a relaxing drink by yourself or with friends.

Service was good beer was cold pizza was lousy. Crust was uncooked and soggy. How this place has won the best pizza wars for 40 years is beyond me.

We went here for dinner on the Saturday of the Labour Day weekend after watching some games at Shawnee State. There was a large group of us and at our table there were 10 seated in the bar at the large corner table. Food and drinks were good however what really made the entire visit was our waitress (she had shoulder length dark brown hair, maybe mid thirties) she was fantastic... I wish I remembered her name.

Port City Cafe & Pub

Inspired by the warmth and camaraderie of Irish pubs, we are nestled in the Ohio River town of Portsmouth. We feature a blend of classic pub fare as well as local favorites, along with 9 brews on tap and beers sourced both regionally and from the Celtic I

First off, the food here is excellent. You can't go wrong with the Black Brimmer sandwich or cheesy potato soup - my favorites. When our family comes to town to visit, this is a must-eat stop for us. This time around, unfortunately, our beers (different kinds) were warm. Not only that, they were out of several. On a Friday night. Before New Years. That was a head scratcher. Finally,we come to our server. We were a big crew (13) with four separate checks. Pain in th butt, we know! We tried hard to make it as simple as possible from the beginning and thanked him profusely for his patience. However, at one point we look over and see him pretending to put a gun to his head and kill himself (to another server who was helping). Really Dude? I completely understand being frustrated but let's not act like a 5 year old in front of your customers. All-in-all, go for the food.Smilingsmyfavorite, Thank you so much for stopping in and thank you for sharing your experience. I would like to apologize for what happened with your server. I will speak with them and the rest of the staff about the situation. I am also looking into the problem with the beer, we certainly do not want to be serving beer that isn't at the perfect temperature. Please feel free to contact me directly at [email protected]. Thank You

We enjoy eating at places with character instead of the cookie cutter chain restaurants and The Portsmouth Brewing Co certainly has character! The outside of the building invites you in and the brewery decor inside has a warm welcoming feel.Hubby, son and I had been hiking at Shawnee State Park and went to Portsmouth Brewing Co for dinner and drinks. Hubby had the Pilsner and my son had the Bobcat Tracks. Both were happy with their choicesThe onion ring appetizer was yummy-real onion rings. A tad greasy but not bad.We all had Lasagna, which came with salad and breadsticks. The meal was reasonable priced and quite tasty! Our waitress was friendly and did a good job of taking care of us.I would certainly recommend this place to someone looking for a casual, fun place to eat and drink that isn’t overpriced.

Scioto Ribber

Reviewed By BARBARA H

We were just in town for one night visiting relative and used the trip advisor review to pick this spot for dinner. The pork ribs are a little different from the baby back type, more like a pork chop with a bone but they are smoked nicely and tender. Onion rings were good but the green beans were very different too, seemed to be cooked in worstershire sauce, very salty. Overall we enjoyed, lots of locals and it was very busy even at 4 in the afternoon.
