    his evening my friend and I, both in our late 60's were walking by the Galley and saw they had live music. We both thought it was a great idea to have a drink at the bar and listen to the music. We both ordered prickly pear margaritas. When they arrived they were magenta. I took one sip and realized that the drink had no or very little alcohol and was sweet to an extreme. Bartender #1 made the drink and she asked us how we liked our drinks. I said nothing. My friend said it was too sweet. Bartender #1 didn't ask for permission but took the sour mix and poured into my friend's drink. We both drank one fourth of our drinks like we typically do when there is obviously very little alcohol in our drinks and ordered a shot. Bartender #1 told us it was illegal to serve a shot in MA with a mixed drink. I verbalized that I believed she was mistaken. I told her I saw her serve shot to two young women across from us. Bartender #1 went to bartender #2 and obviously told her to deal with us (nice old ladies). We were not intoxicated. The two young women I witness being served with drinks and shots were observed by me to be extremely intoxicated (no judgement - just an observation). Bartender #2 came over and we ordered a shot. She repeated what bartender #1 said. I told her that I believed her information was incorrect and address the discrepancy between how we were being treated and how the young women were being treated. Bartender #2 then verbally assault me and said we had to leave (because we didn't like our drinks and wanted to pay for a shot) I will never go back to the Galley. There are so many other joyous palaces to enjoy a drink in Scituate. They don't all serve great drinks but I have never gotten push back when I have ordered and paid for a side shot. Some even say sorry you didn't like the drink. I never ask for anything for free. I understand that it is difficult to be a server. I am not a difficult person. Both of these bartenders made me feel terrible

    The steak taco, fish taco and the steak taco have little flavor. They look delicious but lack in flavor. The chorizo hamburger was good and flavorful. The guacamole, salsa and chips are good.

    Our must stop place in Scituate, especially for the $1 oysters during Happy Hour! It is closing the end of the year, scheduled to reopen in March due to remodeling.

    First trip for dinner, I didn't like Galley. Snagged two seats at the raw bar, which felt abandoned and only staffed when shellfish were ordered. A half dozen oysters were ours, and most had chips, grit and no liquor. Fried oyster and pulled pork sliders were dry and bun-disintegrating wet, respectively. But something brought us back! It's just too damn inviting, and the menu (esp for brunch) was too tempting. So we returned, and found the open air seating - and the duck hash and eggs - to be excellent. Unfortunately, brunch is no longer served! Egads. Thankfully... We popped in for game 7 of the Stanley Cup (spoiler: we lost), and had an outstanding pile of pulled pork nachos, and a baller Widowmaker Sens Lives session IPA. Meaty Gold Fever wings (honey mustard/BBQ sawce) were a steal at 50c a piece. It may have been a special menu, but methinks Galley has found its rhythm in the kitchen. With a killer local beer list and a crazy comfortable atmosphere, it's back in our heavy rotation.

    It was the name for me. I may have told this story once before: Thursdays were chicken nugget days…read moreat my university. Whereas some grabbed mountains of nuggets, I have the guy grabbing 7 nuggets, and a plate of 7 condiments in those little ramekins. Yeah... to say I adore dips is an understatement. Therefore, when I decided to return to Barrel House Z and saw Just the Dip was visiting, my decision was signed, sealed, and delivered. Frankly, given the name I would have expected more dips! I was given one with my nachos, and it was mild, savory, and pleasant, but otherwise unremarkable. Meanwhile I expected a whole other menu, kind of like Saus has. So, let me then tell you about the chicken nachos. It had several things going for it, but the execution wasn't there to inspire a return visit. The chicken had good flavor, and wasn't overly sauced. The chips were a delightful, industrial strength model that didn't crumble under the weight of the ingredients. Where it comes to veggies, the tomato and onion seemed to be little chunky for the application. The real trouble is with the cheese - it seemed like a quarter teaspoon of a crumbly cheese that made it only a corner of a single chip! Almost like they started to put some on, and changed their minds at the last second. Cheese is essential to nachos! It is not only awesome on its own, but is also the medium that holds everything together! Thus, while $15 for a filling portion of nachos is reasonable, the meal felt unfinished and unrefined. Plus, I would have really hoped for more dips and/or dip options.

    I expected the typical overpriced food truck outside of Untold Brewery, but was pleasantly…read moresurprised when we saw the bright Just the Dip truck. The food was delicious, and service was quick. The crunchy falafel on a bed of pickles and tomatoes was in a thick wrap, more like naan. It was served with a generous portion of hummus. Crispy, delicious chicken strips had cornbread on the side. The hummus, carrots and celery also had soft pita triangles and was a healthy, meatless option for kids and adults.

    This could be one of the most confusing groups of reviews I've read on a restaurant. Either people…read morelove it or hate it. I went with a friend for lunch yesterday (Thursday), and after trying pretty much all of the major restaurants in the Hingham/JNorwell/Cohasset area, this restaurant was clearly at the top of my list. We were served the Wagyu Beef Sliders and the Bacon & Carmelized Onion Arancini for appetizers, and the Pulitzer Short Rib Burger and Norwell Hot Chicken Sandwich for entrees. I say that we were "served" those things because we actually ordered the Bavarian Pretzels and not the Wagyu Beef Sliders, but because the sliders were so delicious, we figured that we'll try the pretzels on the next go around. All four of our dishes were absolutely fantastic. The sliders and arancini were absolutely top-notch. I've had so many average arancini that I forgot what it's like when cooked at a high-level. It's as good as any I've had anywhere. And the Pulitzer Burger is now my favorite burger ever. Just the right amount of char on the outside with the inside a perfect medium. The chicken was moist with fantastic seasoning. The unexpected surprise were the fries. The fries here are outstanding. And they achieve something that I've never seen anywhere else: their fries are "pillowy". They are crispy on the outside, but the inside is remarkably moist and fluffy. I'd have to categorize these as steak fries, but steak fries are usually a bit denser. Service was terrific, and the decor of the place is not "dated", as another reviewer commented. The place was clearly built to give off a classic and intimate vibe. I didn't try any of the fish offerings this time, but I plan on returning and checking them out. It blows my mind that I never heard of this place until a few days ago.

Unfortunately, the service felt rushed and somewhat impersonal. Our waitress was responsive when she was at the table, but she tended to disappear for long periods of time. As for the food, it was honestly just average. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, and I'm sad to report it was a disappointment. The hollandaise was cold, the eggs were over-poached, the English muffin only was toasted on one side and the hash browns lacked flavor. Even the coffee I ordered with my meal arrived lukewarm. Surprisingly, the best part of the experience was the Bloody Mary I had at the start of the meal. Maybe the the food would be better during lunch or dinner service. I might give them another try in the future and hope for a better experience.

Our waitress, Molly, confirmed fruit is prepped each morning, but it certainly looked over ripe and slimy. Molly graciously removed the item from our bill.
