Very quaint, rustic, colonial setting (300 year old building) staff wears colonial style garb. Wife had crab cakes that were not full of fillers but were also not seasoned well...rather bland, but the serving was 2 large cakes. Good if you are hungry for bland crab cakes. UPDATE: I HAVE REEVALUATED THE CRAB CAKES AND WHILE THEY DO NOT APPEAR TO HAVE FILLERS, THE TEXTURE IS VERY FIRM AND CAUSES ME TO QUESTION HOW THAT WAS ACHIEVED. NOT A TYPICAL CRAB CAKE. The chicken and Apple curry soup was very good. Another in our party had the seafood soup (tomato based) and raved about it. My wife got Caesar salad which she said was good but be aware it is served with walnuts...so if you have nut allergies, watch out. No bread & butter served. I had the turkey (as did my mother). I was disappointed that it was some sort of processed white meat rather than simply roasted turkey. The gravy was acceptable but not remarkable. They are not roasting real turkeys so I'm not sure what they are using as a base for the gravy. Three of us got the vegetable of the day which was broccoli. The serving was close to half a head of broccoli...but it was fresh and not overcooked. The smashed red potatoes were bland. The cornbread stuffing was tasty. There was a biscuit of some sort served in the middle with gravy, it was about the size of a golf ball and was devoid of moisture. It literally crumbled into pieces. The underlying theme to all the food was that it is not served hot. It all seemed room temperature...not at all good for smashed potatoes or gravy. Broccoli not even warm. The only thing served at an appropriate temperature was the soup. Ironically, the cranberry.relish was fantastic. The service was incredibly slow...efficient, but slow. We were there in the late afternoon and there were very few other people dining at the time . The bar area was crowded. Don't know if it was the wait staff or the kitchen... therefore you don't know whose fault it is that the food was cold. But regardless, the food was cold. I imagine this place is handicapped accessible however the pathway to the dining area is narrow. You squeeze between people sitting at the bar on one side and people seated at tables on the other. If you want quiet atmosphere you'll need to get through this gauntlet to get to the dining room. My mother needs to hold on to someone to walk and it was a little tricky. There is a very large beer selection. They feature a number of ice cream flavors. We sampled three of them: vanilla, chocolate, and motor oil. (yes motor oil not a typo). They were okay not outstanding. Despite its name the motor oil was good. I posted pictures of the whole menu and I guess they were removed. I did this because the Google maps link to the menu was extremely out of date and didn't really represent the menu at present. Oh well.

Biggest portion size you'll ever see, order the meatloaf or shepherds pie. Fun "period" atmosphere and dress. Endless quality Beer selection. Great for after work, date-night, whatever. Seating is limited, so call ahead. If it's a fancy night out ask for "the booth" (there is only one).

It was a very nice experience. The food was great and plentiful. There was a great atmosphere in the place and the wait staff were very patient and helpful.

a must visit after working up a hunger sauntering around the historic square. you're gonna waddle out of this joint; maybe because of the awesome beer, maybe because of the delicious food, possibly both. bring an appetite..
