    Great pub food, good service. Good for lunch or dinner, my favorite is the homemade pastrami sandwich!

    Never stopped in before and have been by it many times. Well Me and the wife finally did and it was well worth the stop! Love the casual pub like atmosphere, service was great, food & drinks were also very good and the prices were quite affordable. Not sure what else to say other than we will be back. So give them a try & Enjoy!

    Stopped by Morrissey's front porch on our tour of New Hampshire and it did not disappoint! When you walk in the door, it's like you've stepped back a century. They have kept all of the old charm of the place while making the upgrades needed in the care and attention to detail really show. We were greeted by our server, Jessica, who is just the absolute sweetest and gave us the whole history of the place. She was super knowledgeable and had the best stories. And now the absolutely phenomenal food. We got the shepherds pie and clam chowder. I'm always skeptical. When I see someone say they have an award-winning clam chowder but this one definitely lives up to the hype. it was creamy and rich, and had all of the hallmarks of a normal clam chowder, but included extra flavors that made it stand out. I can't tell you exactly what it was, but it was one of the best claim chowders I've ever eaten. The shepherds pie was equally as good. The vegetables were fresh and the crust on top was so comforting. I would highly recommend you make this place a stop on your trip and if you're a local that you come back time and time again because I wished I lived closer to this place!!!

    Great spot! Morrissey's Porch & Pub has awesome comfort food and a relaxed vibe. Our waitress Sidney was super friendly and on top of everything. The beer-battered haddock was crispy, not greasy, and so fresh. Loved the mac and cheese and shrimp scampi with broccoli too. We'll definitely be back!

    Back in New Hampshire we went to Morrisey's front porch for dinner, great service and delicious food. familia faces. Felt like home.

    Clam chowder!

    A break in Fall leaf "watching" resulted in a stop at Morrisseys for lunch! The best clam chowder I have ever had without a doubt. Isabelle was a great, friendly waitress!

    Clam chowder with bacon and 4 seared scallops! Yum!

The tables are superbly clean. The bathrooms are scrupulously spotless. The bar is perfectly curated and organized. A health inspector here would be sorely disappointed. Cleanest venue I've seen in a long time. The service lacked, however. Right after being ushered to our table with a beautiful outside view, the young waitress started yapping interminably on personal issues with a couple she obviously knew two tables away. We were forgotten. Finally after a good 15 minutes, one of us went to the bar to get menus. The bar waitress came out and bought us menus and gave the young lady a look.... Then the taps were out so in an Irish pub, no slow-poured Guinness. I did get it in the bottle and then had to send the waitress to get a cold glass. Lunch came. Delicious Chicken Moher and my other half a delicious Club Sandwich. Yum The lunch was very good. I would have given five stars. But the initial reception with a lackadaisical waitress tells me that although the pub may be outstanding, they need some better training for their wait staff.

    Gilford, New Hampshire…read more We were in the area to go to Gunstock ski resort, staying at Fireside Inn and the gal at the front desk told us to come here for dinner, which was a great recommendation. It was open mic night, so different people were coming up every half hour or so, some with guitars, and it was such a fun Irish pub atmosphere. The FOOD was delicious and the server was excellent. She asked if we wanted the sweet potato fries a little crunchier and I said "of course" because who likes soggy sweet potato fries. They have gluten free buns so I got one of their specialty burgers and devoured the entire thing. The lobster crab cakes were so good. The one weird thing that happened: we had just bought wine bottles at the store next door to take back to the hotel, but when we came in, they asked to hold it at the front until we finished our meal. That might be a NH law.

I'm going to assume it was the bartender, who was shockingly rude, sarcastic, and disrespectful, to say the very least. Not my first experience with this bartender either. The bartender's and server's at Wolfe's Tavern are absolutely horrible. They have reprehensible attitudes and are colossally rude to customers. I asked for a simple clarification of their operating hours. This man was indignant and impolite, calling me out for bringing a discrepancy to his attention!! Uh..what?! I've been a resident of Wolfeboro, NH, for 70 years. This establishment once stood as the landmark for elegant dining, professional and competent administration and staff, and was respected throughout the Lakes Region. You once had an Executive Chef named "Hoke" many, many years ago...a quintessential gentleman with great culinary expertise, who frequently would come out of the kitchen, go table to table, introduce himself to all the patrons, and ask them if their meals were up to their liking. This man "made" The Wolfeboro Inn, almost singlehandedly. When he resigned because of a difficulty with management, the place plummeted...nearly overnight. Fast forward to August, 2025, and it is now worse than ever. I'd recommend Dunkin' Donuts on Center Street, or The Bay Diner on Main ahead of here. It's no wonder today's bartender refused to give his first name...no doubt fearful of this review(!) or one in The Granite State News, aka "The Grunter."

We booked the "red room" for a party of 10 patrons which we scheduled far in advance. The people that were in the room before us ran over on their time, so we had to wait about 18 minutes after our reservation. The room is pretty cramped due to the length of the table, but it was cute and cozy. The max amount of people is 12 in this room. I had the taste of Ireland, which gives you three dishes in sample size: shepherds pie, beef stew & chicken pot pie. For $19.00 (kind of steep) it was okay. You can tell that there's a lot of pride, and it has a "just like mama used to make" method of cooking. Seems like they take a lot of pride in all of their dishes. It seems that everybody truly enjoyed their dishes, even the ones that had salad. Again, it was really nice that we were able to have our very own room. I would certainly come back and have the corned beef and cabbage meal; that's what my mother had and she said it was great. The only negative thing I would say is that our waitress seemed like she was a bit annoyed, having to wait on a large group and we needed to split our checks. Other than that I felt that our service was sufficient.
