Had our Board meeting today so decided to order pizza for dinner and pick it up. Heard this place again has new owners. We ordered a large Specialty Deluxe pizza and a small magherita pizza for pickup at 7 PM. Told it would be an hour. Drove over at 8 PM and told they were 20 minutes behind. Paid for pizza with $8 tip on a $42 bill. Lady at register said she would deliver it to us as we were close by. We offered the $3 delivery charge but she politely declined. At 8:45 PM the pizza had still not arrived. I called back and she said "you still don't have your pizza?" I replied no. She asked someone and I heard them say they called me to say it was ready. This never happened. She apologized and delivered it about 10 minutes later. It was, by now, 9 PM.The large pizza was still warm but unfortunately was not fully cooked. The small was cooked properly.The place was busy but not packed. There were a couple tables still open when we initially went to pick them up.So, two visits and two somewhat marginal experiences in a row albeit a year apart. I guess the jury is still out on this one.Maybe try again next year....maybe not.I appreciate your feedback! And you paint an accurate picture of the experience for several of our customers that evening. Our delivery and to-go orders were much higher than anticipated and we did not have the staff to produce pizzas in the timely fashion that most of our customers are used to...and we did not set expectations properly.We've had a staff meeting and are implementing some procedures to improve service in this area. Rod Run is this weekend, so we expect to put them to the ultimate test.I do appreciate how kind you were that night given the situation.I hope we'll see you again next year!Carla

8. Rod's Lamplighter

Reviewed By DanW440
The Lamplighter is as awful inside as it was entering from outside. Dirty, unkempt, one is greeted with a horrible cloud of cigarette smoke from "who-knows-where" at the entrance. Filthy and gross from the get-go. There are too many other choices that are nice

This place has a full bar and an excellent menu. My wife and I had their seafood chowder and it was absolutely wonderful. The sign said award winning clam chowder and it was not exaggerating. It was loaded with razor clams and shrimp. We both loved it. The service was excellent and friendly Nothing wrong with this place.Thank you John for coming in and leaving such a wonderful review. I hope that you and your wife will be back gain soon!
6. At the Helm Hotel and Pub
Reviewed By WizardofAz60
I see that others complained about the service. It did take a while to get our order taken...maybe 5 minutes. But once it was taken, our food came promptly and our server checked in on us a few times. We ordered the crab bisque was very delicious with chunks of crab. It was served with parmesan bread. I had the lettuce wraps with the turkey filling and the bib lettuce was so fresh and the filling was just perfect with not too much mayonnaise. My husband ordered the Big Bird sandwich with tater tots. There were a lot of tasty tots and the sandwich was large using turkey breast. He loved it and gobbled it down.

I have been stopping here for years since before it was the Pickled Fish. I like to bring my friends and family here when they visit out of state as its location is the best. Just would like to see cleaner windows, table tops & more light. The table tops are so gross and sticky they need to be refinished. Maybe its time for a little remodel to brighten things up. Prices are a bit high as portions a bit small however I must say the food & service has always been consistently good!

They brew over a dozen beers in house and all that we tried were exceptional. They had four different IPAs and we had a hard time choosing a favorite. They have a good variety of beers. Ranging from light ambers to dark stouts. They do not server food, but you may bring your own or purchase from the seasonal food truck outside the front door.

We had a wonderful meal, creamy tomato soup and a burger. The server, Haley, was fantastic. She went above and beyond with her gracious and welcoming service. There was a slight "disaster" with the pepper grinder that she took care of easily and quickly. Food was yummy, great variety, fresh ingredients and amazing prices!! $6 for a great Pinot??!! The local beers are highly recommended!! Wish we lived closer but will certainly come back!!
