For this review I want to focus on their TACO TUESDAY…read more I have to say I'm never disappointed. We don't come here often enough but when we do we are always happy we did. We sat at the bar and specifically came by for their tacos. How can you go wrong when they have them at 2 for $5!!! And yes all delicious; packed to the rim and all the fixings plus sour cream on the side. We got plenty. We got happy Amanda B, The bartender was there. She is always so nice and pleasant. She knows her stuff and no matter how packed the place was, always comes by to check on you. The place was packed to my surprise. Bathrooms were All clean and bar was kept clean despite so many people coming and going.

This place has bartenders that over charge. My friend and I bought each other drinks him a round me…read morea round. Total of 4 shots. After he left I had one more. When my friend left we noticed she charged him for all 4 shots. I was going to say something then but he said its ok he will pay for it. Left me his receipt just in case she charged me for them too. Which as we both felt was going to happen. Sure as the sky is blue she charged me for 3 drinks instead of 1. I showed her and she immediately got defensive call some lady that was worse cursed me out on the phone. I finally said whatever I will dispute the charge as I did not sign the slip. So if it is signed she then forged my signature. I ordered my uber and went to the bathroom. Then one of her friends came in and tried to talk to me. I told her friend that I am not in the business of having a convo with some random lady while sitting on the toilet. That pissed her off and then pissed the bartender of so much she called the police. I was leaving anyway. I waited for my Uber and left. Below is a picture of the bartender. Their funnel fries were great

Came here on a Saturday with a large group around 11:30. They were able to seat us immediately and…read morelet us know with a larger group it would be a little longer of a wait. They brought out complimentary popcorn which was delicious. Service was good. I felt a little bad for our waitress because she seemed a little stressed with a larger group but she did a great job. She was able to do individual checks for everyone which was very nice. The menu has a variety of regular bar food. I just ordered the French onion soup and thought it was good. Very cheesy and warm. Wish the broth had a little more flavor. The food did take a decent amount of time to come out about 45 minutes. Overall nice they were able to accommodate all of us.

Gatehouse Tavern [GT]. (2 stars)…read more "Stuffed clams (or stuffies) are popular in New England and consist of a breadcrumb and minced clam mixture that is baked on the half shell of a quahog hard shell clam.[1][2][3][4] Other ingredients typically found in the basic breadcrumb mixture are: meat such as sausage, bacon or chouriço (Portuguese sausage), chili pepper, lemon juice, bell peppers, celery, onion, garlic, spices and herbs. There are many different recipes for stuffed clams; many restaurants in New England have their own variety, as do many home cooks." - Wikipedia "Stuffies - $2.50" The sign caught my eye. I asked myself, "Self, what the heck are stuffies?!" I walked up to the cashier and asked her. She said it's a stuffed clam. Ahhh... In all the years I have been up to New England I never heard of "stuffies" before. Perhaps it could be in part to the fact that I usually frequent seafood restaurants vice watering holes when I am here... As I perused the menu I also saw a pastrami sandwich so I decided to eat here. I ordered the following: -Stuffies -Pastrami Sandwich Stuffies. (1.5 stars). Somehow I imagined this stuffed clam to have some texture & seasoning but not an overkill of salt & onions??!! The stuffing was extremely mushy & unpleasant to eat. I took one bite & didn't finish the rest of it. There were a few minuscule pieces of clam meat chopped up in the stuffing mixture but it was tough to even discern any real clam flavor. I'm sure the locals probably go crazy over GT's stuffies but I just am not a fan... Pastrami (Reuben) Sandwich. (2.5 stars). GT's pastrami sandwich is different from most places I have eaten at because they cook their pastrami slices on a flat top grill. The pastrami had a nice seasoning but some of the sides were a little too burnt for my liking. Instead of the usual 1000 island (yuck) I requested spicy brown mustard & while it was a bit messy to eat, definitely hit the spot on a cold day. The sauerkraut was nice & crunchy which I appreciated. The "rye" bread was quite soft & fell apart before I could take a bite into the sandwich. The rye bread tasted like sourdough bread... --- All in all, GT is a quaint little water hole that is located right across the street from EB (Electric Boat). In its heyday, GT & Elfie's used to be THE places to go for EB employees during lunch. Most of the other establishments in this area (including Elfie's) is now closed due to the fact that EB now has a "cafeteria" on their premise. The owner/bartender is extremely friendly & social which made me feel at ease. Parking is wherever u find it. Street parking is about 1 block away in the residential area. But the good thing is, if u find a stall, it's free!

We stopped in last Friday on our trip up to see one of our kids…read more When we arrived it wasn't busy, as we came after the lunch crowd but before the dinner one. Food was good, not a fan of the cheese plate, but my husband loved it. Everyone's meal was really good we all enjoyed it, our waitress serving us was fantastic. We had to do a quick in and out as we were running late to meet our other kid. Recommend stopping in if you're in the area.

The clam pieces were big, chewy, & fishy. ***My friend's vegan burger was placed in front of me & my gluten-free burger was placed in front of my friend. The employee dropping the food even asked "gluten-free over here?" before placing the vegan burger in front of me. We self-corrected this at the last possible second, because my friend cut into her burger & just as she was about to take a bite she realized it was real meat. This could've been a disaster for both of us. May I suggest those little toothpicks for marking allergies & whatnot? Visiting Jealous Monk was a very average experience. The whole food situation was just so Sysco - I'd rather just cook at home. I think this is a good spot for large groups & beer enthusiasts.

Inside was lively and the bar looked very cool inside. I got the Fried chicken Sandwich and it was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had, super juicy and the sauce on it paired very well with the chicken, the fires were seasoned perfectly, couldn't stop eating them. Food came out pretty fast around 20 minutes after ordering. I also got the confetti milkshake for free because the table behind us were sever tow instead of one, it was good, typical milkshake but I will be back to try the other flavor. I signed up for their rewards program and I'll definitely be eating here again to try their other food!

Honestly one of the worst burgers I've had. There was basically no flavor and something about the…read moretaste was just off. I ordered it with a gluten-free bun and the bun came out pretty much burnt. The burger was also supposed to come with cheese, but there was barely any cheese on it at all. The "pickled" onions were probably the strangest part. They honestly just tasted like slimy raw onions and added nothing to the burger. They also don't have a separate fryer, so being gluten-free meant I couldn't even have fries with my burger, which was disappointing. I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately the burger was a huge miss for me, especially with such limited gluten-free options to go along with it.

I came by with my kids and sister for last minute craving. Becca helped us out and did a great job…read more She was great about our crazy kids order. No pepper, no seasonings etc. all came out well and she was super pleasant.

We had some issue each time. 1st,…read morefood came out wrong, had to be returned, and waited 20 more minutes for correction. 2nd attempt to try their new specials, food was burnt and tried to cover it up with sauce and cheese. Gross. 3rd attempt, 9/11/2026, walked in, not very busy. No hostess at front, we waited to be seated, 10 minutes. Brought to a table that had dried food stuck to it. Moved our table. Ordered app of buffalo tenders, waited 30 minutes for it to come. It was chicken nuggets with hot sauce! As it hit the table, our main courses came out. Told them to take it back. When it came back, it was obvious that it was just reheated, and over cooked. Spoke to manager (and older woman, who came out of kitchen) not even observing the dining room operation. She was indignant and uncaring. Told her we weren't paying for this stuff, and we were leaving. She didn't seem to care. Beware of this place people, more problems than worth your money

You're basically in the front of the dining area. There's no sign to tell you to wait. Finally the hostess came and sat us. It took a while for a server to acknowledge us. But once she took our orders she came back many times to check on us and refill drinks. Very good service. We took advantage of the Tuesday wings deal which is buy one get one 50% off. Wings came out instantly. After ordering , hubby and son went to wash their hands and the wings came out when they got back to the table. The sandwich on the other hand took about 15 minutes. Normally I would have liked if all the food came out at once. But the good thing is that wings don't need to be piping hot. Especially if you have a really hot sauce on them. Hubby got the (10 piece) mango habanero. It's nice and spicy. The spice is mostly on the tongue. I got the (10 piece) Thai curry. It was so delicious. The heat hits you in the the back of the throat. My family is from Trinidad and we eat curry chicken wings all of the time and this brought me back to my childhood. I didn't think it was as Thai tasting as it was West Indian tasting. We also got potato wedges. Those were perfectly crispy and seasoned. Son's saucy chicken sandwich was covered in the jalapeño sauce. A bit too spicy for him (and he's a true heat seeker) so he ate half and saved half for right before bed. The fries were nice and crisp but really salty. This was our first visit here and at the end- one of the workers came out screaming-CAN I HAVE EVERYONES ATTENTION!!!!!!!! She was screaming at the top of her lungs to wish someone a happy birthday which everyone in the restaurant joined in. We all thought it was hilarious. And then my son told me what he initially thought it was. Mind you there was just a school shooting in Nashville and my son has been practicing active shooter drills he thought she was announcing a bomb or something. And I get where he's coming from. It could be triggering. So I just wanted to warn anyone who might have some ptsd.
