Delicious French onion soup so richly flavored. Cheese crusted shepherd's pie was sooooo good!! The vibe in here reminded me of the restaurants in Dublin Ireland. My only suggestion would be to have a few Irish cocktails on the menu. Would have been super to have come in from the freezing outdoors and have an Irish coffee topped with baileys whip cream or an Irish expresso martini! read more

I picked this place for the sign, it was pretty cute. This place with the fireplace and the Gaelic phrases was very warm and welcoming. The food was amazing. The Guinness French onion soup so good and cheesy. short rib sandwich with Au jus sauce and fries. short ribs melted in your mouth. My friend got the shepherds pie it was yummy but maybe a little more seasoning but that is just me. Will be returning when in area. read more

The restaurant was very cute, beautiful bar, and the waitress was very friendly and accommodating; however, I was extremely disappointed in the burrata plate I ordered. It was absolutely pathetic. The "Burrata Salad"came on a plate with four paper thin slices of tomato, probably the equivalent of one basil leaf that was cut into pieces sprinkled on it, some olive oil and balsamic glaze, and one piece of a crostini bread. There was not a piece of lettuce to be had, even though they called it a salad. It was a sorry excuse for a salad. read more

I was so disappointed with our dinner experience last night, we have never really been there but hear good things from people so decided to check it out. I'm in the service industry and had spent all weekend waiting on people so in return I was hoping for someone to wait on me. After sitting there for a few minutes the bartender finally realized we were there but had to finish her conversation at the bar with this gentleman so made no effort to come over. We were debating leaving when she finally came over. Felt like she was even annoyed we were there. Waited on us barely but kept returning to the corner to talk with her friends and a couple people at the end and completely ignored us the whole time. Service was horrible we will never go back and spend our money on a place that doesn't feel like they even want you there. We were two of six people in the place so it should have been pretty simple to wait on everyone and still get your conversation with your friends in. Definitely lost us as customers! read more

A cute restaurant on a cute historic street! From the tavern sign to the clean interior, you go in liking this place already. The staff was limited on the weekday we came, but friendly. The tap list included Guinness, Harp,and Smithwicks, and a couple local beers among the dozen, but also a moderate list of cocktails and wines. Picking from the dishes is difficult because even on the lunch menu, there are so many yummy offerings. Narrowing it down with with the signature symbols, the short rib au jus on a crusty, buttery baguette was delightful. Sampling the corned beef on pretzel, it could be difficult to decide even on multiple trips. We went all out starting with both a plate of crab cakes and stuffed clam cakes, and found the crab the meatier of the two, but both were comforting. For whatever reason Yelpers have listed Brazen Hen as not being a good place for kids, but we still took a chance. Despite the clean, dark but glossy interior, our kid still got a coloring sheet placemat and brand new crayolas. The kids menu seemed to be on theme, and I still can't believe my kid picked shepherd's pie over the usual chicken tenders and fries. Our server was friendly to everyone at our table, all ages. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon after doing some work locally. We've been to westerly one other time and never to the Brazen Hen. We were treated with kindness, patience, and open arms. They couldn't have been more helpful!!! And a great pour of Guinness ! Sliante read more

The cod Reuben is so delicious! One of my favorite sandwiches ever. Great menu and beautiful spot. Tin ceilings, beautiful bar.

What a find! We were in Westerly on a snowy day. Saw this place, pulled into a parking spot on the street and wandered in to a warm, inviting, cozy, tavern. The fireplace was an added treat. The meals were delicious. Yes, that cod reuben was very delicious. Large sandwich, many (too many!) fries, and drinks. Hamburger was also terrific. There is nothing we didn't like here. Even the restrooms are really nice! The bar was fairly busy for a random Saturday afternoon. When in the area again I would not hesitate to return there. The menu seemed quite diverse, also. I'm sure everyone would find something they would enjoy. read more

In the culinary world, the word WOW implies exceptional ambiance, food, and service. The Brazen Hen--now one of my new favorite restaurants--gets that rating on all counts. Bonus points for serving Bangers and Mash, a rarity in the Ocean State. Oh, and did I mention the excellent Kimchi? No? Well, their Kimchi was surprisingly tasty. On a scale of one to five, The Brazen Hen gets a ten. read more

Tried this pub on a family recommendation and we were not disappointed! The Asian inspired calamari was magnificent, a very creative combination of flavors that you must try! We ordered fried flounder off the regular menu and a special of swordfish with lemon basil risotto and vegetables that was pleasing to the eye and absolutely delicious!! Our waitress Katya was both friendly and attentive. It was a great first experience and will will go back! read more

First time eating dinner here...nice atmosphere, mostly Irish cuisine menu. My husband had the meatloaf dinner which was good but a little on the high priced side for meatloaf. I had a Caesar salad with chicken that came out not cooked very well so I had to send it back. He started with the guineas French onion soup & I had the pretzels with beer cheese & spicy mustard which was excellent. Pretzels were great too. Service was average. Menu a little on the pricier side for what you get. read more

I don't know about the food, but this is the only bar I've been to around here that knows how to pour a Guinness. Cheers.

Best meatloaf in the world. Words I will swear by til the death. We stumbled upon this local Irish pub restaurant last July and knew we had to stop again when we had work in RI. The meatloaf is a blend of veal, corned beef, and pork. It's tender, and juicy, but also slightly dense in the best possible way. The brown onion gravy is savory. Mashed potatoes are homemade and richly flavored, maybe a hint of sour cream and lots of butter. The julienned carrots and squash accompany the french style green beans perfectly. Do yourself a favor and order extra squash and carrots, they are absolutely delicious. read more

We had a party planned weeks in advance. 1.5 weeks before our event, they called and told us they had to cancel the event. Absolutely horrific customer service. Untrustworthy business. Will never be returning and will do all we can to spread the word not to go here. read more

Food was put of this world! Loved the pork tenderloin in whiskey sauce with mushrooms and asparagus, and the seared salmon with ginger rice. The service was pleasant and cordial but with a bit of wait time that was totally worth it. The ambiance was relaxed. Very pleasant. read more

Not a bad spot In the heart of down town westerly. They have some pretty good sandwich items and a couple of good pasta dishes, but I do feel as though it is priced a bit high. The drink selection is good as well, but you will pay a bit more than you would elsewhere on the street (from my experience) The interior is pretty nice, the lights are turned down low... it's a great date spot! I went to a couple of trivia nights there (pre-Covid). It was fun! read more

Went here last weekend for lunch to start a week's vacation in Misquamicut. Been here before, but this time was a disaster! They were out of bangers & mash--& they hadn't been open an hour! Settled on a corned beef sandwich, which was utterly revolting--all cartilage & fat. From the little that I could eat of it, my stomach was unsettled for the rest of the day. Quality control, anyone? read more

Awesome pub! The waitress was a terrible ditz (my friend had to ask 3 times for water) and I wasn't given the correct drink, but the bacon wrapped scallops, calamari, and stuffed clams were phenomenal. Kudos to their chef! read more

Best kept secret in Westerly! We have been coming here as a family for 3 years. The food is always delicious and largely portioned. If you like waffle fries full of flavor, get the Irish Waffle Fries. The meatloaf can be cut with a fork and slices like butter. Incredibly flavorful on the inside and out. Chicken and waffles are also a great dish- the combination of syrup and crispy, seasoned chicken is out of this world. Don't let the old Irish style pub look deceive you. It's a comfortable enough atmosphere and is great for a casual dinner. 100% recommend read more

While visiting the beach in October we decided to try this place after checking out other reviews. This place is situated in the center of an old town. Parking is in the street and there is a couple parking lots right next to place. I had the braised short ribs, and friend ordered the filet mignon. Short ribs were dynamite, very tender and flavorful. Served on top of garlic mash with asparagus as the other side. Onion strings on top added a great crunch to the meal. Friends filet was presented very well and also was really satisfying. Plenty of seating and also establishment offers entertainment on certain nights, karaoke, and live bands. The only gripe I have is there was no salad or other options served with meal. I would definitely come back again. Oh yeah we had the lump crab cakes for appetizer. This would be my second gripe as they mediocre at best, not cooked well, "not crispy" and not much crab. read more

Brazen Hen - Why two forks, no salad with meal. Booooo. - Salad Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

I was visiting home after about 7 months and had yet to try this place. My best friend recommended that we go here as she has had good experiences. It's very close to Wilcox Park and very easy to get too! The atmosphere was very nice, maybe a little noisy. We went on a Saturday night so there was quite a few people, at the bar also. We were seated pretty close to the bar which is why it may have been pretty noisy, but my friend and I still had no problem hearing each other. I saw that people were being seated outside, but I didn't even know that was an option... Our waitress was pretty nice, she did her job and told us the specials and made sure we had our drinks topped, but didn't do anything really extraordinary. My best friend got the shepherds pie, which I hear is amazing. She ate the whole dish and she's pretty small! I forget what mine was called, but it was a pasta dish with chicken and mushrooms. I really love all three of those ingredients and thought the dish was okay. I ate about half of it but didn't take it home. It was a good taste, but not the taste I was hoping for, if that makes any sense. I probably wouldn't get that again if I went, but they had other options on the menu that I'd definitely try, especially the pie. We also got the chocolate mousse for dessert, which was very very good. It was a great experience! The prices weren't too high and it's a nice place to go to if you're in downtown Westerly looking for some dinner! read more

Nice place for lunch. The service is attentive and restaurant is clean. The menu is large and there is always a specials list. We love the teriyaki steak salad, their soups and burgers. Avoid the pot stickers though...tough and strange tasting. Prices are fair. read more

My friend and I stopped in here for a little bit later lunch after exhausting ourselves shopping. It was quiet at lunch on a Sunday, there's a nice bar and high ceilings. Our waitress was really nice and helpful in making some recommendations. My friend had the Mediterranean Whole Grain salad with beef, and I had the Guinness French Onion Soup and The Hen salad with chicken. The soup had a very rich and tasty broth, and both salad were really good, a nice mixtures of flavors and very filling! Next time we're up this way shopping we'll stop in again. read more

Excellent calamari -one of a kind. Delicious meatball sub . Great service and ambiance.

My buddy and I got absolutely disrespected by one of the bartenders (female) tonight! Crazy & rude. Said they'd take a glass of wine off the bill, then didn't, and even after we offered to pay for it, she was still about as rude as could be... We couldn't leave fast enough! Saturday, karoke night... Thanks for the buzz kill!! read more

Came here on Saturday night of Labor Day Weekend. We tried to go somewhere in Mystic and it was 2-1/2 hour wait. Called a bunch of other places and they were all the same. Even a basic pizza place was an hour. We called here and they said they didn't have a wait at all. By the time we got there it was about a 10 minute wait. Nbd. Food was mixed. My wife got clam chowder and I got jalapeño poppers to start. For dinner they she got our chicken Alfredo and our daughter got Mac and cheese. Basically the same dish but the Alfredo had the chicken and veggies. I ordered a burger and they actually brought me someone else's burger that came with a side salad. I was totally confused at first (what are they trying to tell me lol). Once I got into the burger I realized it wasn't my meal at all. They brought out the correct one right away. Burger wasn't quite as good as I hoped but the fries were tasty. read more

Very nice place! The food is very good and I love the Shepard's pie. Can't give 5 stars cuz like most restaurants half the menu is freezer to fryer type stuff but the price is right and the food is very good. You can't go wrong and I highly recommend. read more

Took 1 star away only because we had to pay for our drinks at the bar and could t add them to our table, and get for a 5 you need to be amazing... That being said went there with two couples, shared appetizers and everything was quick fresh and hot. The chips were great along with the curry sauce, and the pretzel was delicious. Our meals were great, wouldn't expect chicken and waffles at a pub, but order it! The chicken was cooked perfect and the syrup was a perfect touch... the vegetables while good didn't get touched, I mean it's chicken and waffles lol The clam linguine was good as well, with clams served on top, and chopped clams also cooked in the sauce... very good. I highly recommend and will be back before all the tourists visit and make it hard to get a table and eat in the area... read more

Excellent service, menu and food. Had gluten free and vegan options. The cocta was made to perfectionist, too. Eat here!

Id like to start by saying the food and atmosphere is great... Chef Donnie is a local ledgend..however service??? Victoria barely acknowledged us today." Only table in the place" got the drink order wrong stated rudely..keep the xtra one ...returned 15 min later with a correct drink..after slamming it on the table..asked for cocktail napkins ..she threw them on the bar my guest got up to get them..she clearly paid no attention as. Food came out wrong asked for another drink while we waited for the order to be corrected..she then stated " I won't serve u another you have a bad attitude" I've been in this business for 30 years never have I experienced anything like this..my guest and I paid tipped for no reason and left..some people are not cut our for the. " Hospitality" industry if you go make sure. Ask for a different server read more

Ok, so this is a really trendy place. Great atmosphere, great decor, friendly wait staff. Moderately priced ($40 per person with a drink). The onion soup was good, but really, really too salty. The Guinness Beer was cold when it should be served at room temp. The salad was blaze at best, with an insufficient amount of dressing. Way too much lettuce compared to other ingredients on the plate. I ordered The Shepard's Pie and out came meatloaf. The waitress was polite and my order came back out after dinner was over at my table. The "Shepard's Pie" appeared to be my meatloaf with some carrots and peas now hidden, in a not too great disguise, under really good mashed potatoes with melted cheese. The latter was quite good. Eating meatloaf disguised as Shepard's Pie didn't go over all that big with an former Executive Chef at a Top 10 Rated Restaurant. While I would love to eat there again and support local business, I just can't see myself doing it again, as I want to enjoy great food. Not sure if you can find that here. Disappointed, but a really nice place to visit if you don't expect good food. read more
