I had not been to North Deering Tavern yet since Samuel's had moved. I tried their brunch and…read moredinner options within the same week. For brunch I sat at the bar. They have different rotating specials which is great. That is in addition to their constant menu. Brunch options are a little limited but there is a variety in different options. When I went, I got the Irish Benedict. It came with homefries. My eggs were overcooked so the yolk unfortunately did not run, which they should when poached. Despite this, the corned beef hash and hollandaise were delicious. They have tons of options for hot sauce, tobacco, or sriracha which I love. The bartender was friendly, knowledgeable, and we had quick service. It was pretty quiet for a brunch place on the weekend. There is tons of free parking, tons of specials, and more. When I returned for dinner, we only had to wait about 15 mins to be seated. It was super busy as the Celtics were playing. Our service was quick and awesome. We got our drinks quickly followed by apps and then entrees. The whole process was smooth and quick. We tried the half veggie nachos, cheesesteak egg rolls, buffalo wings, and the meatball and cheese sandwich. Everything was delicious and worth the price. I definitely want to come back for Tuesday night trivia!

My wife and I have been trying to check out a lot of spots lately that have opened recently. This…read morewas our latest addition to that. With both of us working manual labor jobs in the 90+ degree day we had zero intention of cooking. So perfect excuse to check this place out. Despite driving by it many times in the past we never stopped by Samuels so have no comparison for better or worse that many may have. Overall the ambiance/vibes are sports bar/dive bar. Knowing this we had reasonable set expectations and accepted we would likely be getting "bar food". This was quite accurate in the end. Their menu has a decently wide amount of options that even picky eaters would likely find something they want. Burgers, pizzas, sandwiches, salads, apps to name some options. They had no cocktail list but a full bar so they should be able to make you any drink you'd like. We got Philly egg rolls as an app to split and it was a tasty start. My wife got their open face turkey sandwich, she thought much of it was colder than expected and overall not impressed too much. The potatoes that came with it were seasoned well and tasty though. I got their Cajun fried chicken sandwich and it was decent, but many other chicken sandwiches are overall better. Their fries were seasoned well and crispy though. Service was leaning closer to the bad side with long times in between seeing our server and also they weren't very attentive despite not being that busy. In the end I will say give the place a try for yourself as you may enjoy it more. Nothing food wise was great enough to push us to return. Their true appeal would be the bar/drinks, yet for me I would still go elsewhere that gave a little more effort into the cocktails/having a drink list. It's nice to see some creativeness with cocktails.

It was Blues Jam on Sunday and an older crowd of locals. Great music from several bands each playing a set. The waitstaff was friendly and helpful with drink orders and food choices. If you like cider, go for the Downeast Cider on draft - delicious and not overly sweet. Special on Sunday of $9 Bud Light pitchers. We mainly came in for lunch more so than for drinks. Another Sunday special is $.95 apiece wings. We got 8 extra crispy with the sweet chili sauce. Highly recommend! Main entree was a cheeseburger with grilled onions, mushrooms, and peppers with side of onion rings, and hubby had a Reuben with sweet potato fries. The burger was small but really good. Onion rings were crispy and not greasy. The Reuben was crisp on outside with good flavor. Although the portions weren't huge, you couldn't beat the price at $9.95 per meal. Everything is made to order by Ron in the back. If you are in a hurry for your meal and not planning to sit around and drink for the afternoon, just tell your waitress and I'm sure things will come out faster for you. Would come back again!

The lady asked what we wanted to drink. My boyfriends friend and his girlfriend order and they didn't get carded, she asks what me and my boyfriend want and we tell her and she didn't even ask me for my ID and I look younger than 21, she asks my boyfriend for his ID only because his skin is brown. He tells her he doesn't have it. She said then you can't get that drink and he's like okay that's fine. She comes back with his friends drink and his girlfriends drink and says that me and my boyfriend need to leave if we don't have our ID. She could've said that before bringing their drinks out so we could just leave. But instead she was disrespectful about it. I hope she looses her job immediately!

Despite not being overly busy it took the waitress forever to greet us. After she took our order she said she would get us plates but never did. The wait was ridiculously long and some other woman threw a plate of skins on the table and immediately walked away. No plates. One tiny sour cream for two people. We tried to wave our waitress and this other woman down but they were too involved in personal conversation and going back into the kitchen. I had to go to the host and ask her if she could bring us plates and get our waitress, but then I noticed the plates on the shelf and was able to self serve. The hostess was able to get us the sour cream. I'm not a monster so I still tipped 20% but I low key wish the tip went to the hostess instead.
