This place was amazing. First and foremost, you can tell when you walk in that it's frequented by…read moreregulars. What makes it so special is that the staff treated us as if we, too, were regulars. They were friendly, accomodating, personable, helpful...I can't shout out enough to them.
I was a vendor at a block party and wanted to grab something to eat somewhere within walking distance, and this came up. Pub food always works for me, so T and I came over.
A small menu with what you'd expect from a pub: appetizers, burgers, sandwiches. One appetizer stood out: hog wings. We asked, and Noel explained, and we ventured to try. Sort of like a rib, but not? I can't explain, but it does look like a wing. A delicious, porky wing, thick with juicy meat and crisped to crackling on the outside, done up with whatever wing sauce floats you (we got them on the side, a Thai chili and medium). They didn't fail to impress.
For dinners, T got the haddock basket, and I got the clam basket. The basket was heaping full of fries and clams. The fries were perectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and the clams were done up in a light breading, not dense or heavy (and I still couldn't finish them). Also, side note, as I'm really picky about cole slaw...this one was delicious creamy.
Then, seeing chocolate cream pie on the menu, well, I had to. Very good, Drizzled with just the usually Hershey's syrup on top, which is such a distinct flavor/texture, but the pie itself was thick, creamy, and chocolatey.
Even though Johnstown is an hour away, and I seldom get out here, I would come back to this place in a heartbeat.
