I went with a seat at the bar, and was greeted right away by one of the bartenders, and provided menus. There are a lot of great options on the menu - appetizers, bowls, salads, main courses, lots of beer on top, cocktails, and nonalcoholic cocktails as well. On the bartenders recommendation, I went with the Baja fish tacos, and upgraded my side to tater tots. The tacos were generously sized, with two small pieces of fish per taco, mango salsa, avocado, red cabbage, and chipotle aioli. They were the perfect depth of flavor, with savory, and sweet, and a touch of spice. I'm so glad I upgraded to the tots - they were perfectly crispy and delicious. Will for sure be back to try more of the menu!

Apps were overcooked chicken fingers ...a very good chicken quesadilla and some pita bread with a blah feta cheese dip. Very good selection of beers on a side note. I got the bayou chicken with pasta. A very tasty creamy dish with a hint of heat. One other dish was a bolognese that I'm told is very good. Rumor at bar was that the burgers were the best around. I did see a flatbread pizza that looked ok. Also the chips and salsa has the thin chips ...not sure if they are heated though. Overall a decent atmosphere and pub food.

To start, the service was awesome, the waitresses were down to earth but made sure we had everything we needed and then some- including some extra chips to bring home with our unfinished buffalo chicken dip. The place was as the name suggests...snug. But the intimate environment was all the better with the live entertainment! Nothing really beats watching a local artist playing acoustic guitar and singing "You've Got a Friend in Me" over some good eats. I ordered the Cape Cod Rueban which is your typical Rueban toppings but a golden fried filet of haddock, on a toasted brioche bun. I was honestly blown away by this sandwich. All the ingredients were so fresh. Both of us were very satisfied with the quality of the food, the huge portions, and the reasonable bill compared to other establishments in the area. For all this plus 2 drinks, we were looking at $70. If we are ever back this way, we will definitely stop in again to try some new entrees!

The half-pound patty was juicy and flavorful, and it came on a quality bun that held everything together nicely. I really wanted to love the onion rings but they were just okay.

The only downside was that the restrooms could use a refresh. For the price, it's a great value, and I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again.

They hand fry their own tortillas which meant the chips didn't get soggy. The clam chowder and mac n cheese tasted gourmet. And my partner said it was one of the best burgers he's ever had.
