    a hot dog and a sandwich
    Diana N.

    Solid place for a meal! I had the large steak, cheese, and mushroom sub. I called ahead for a pick up order and it didn't take much time at all. There is street parking available.

    Here's the deal. Have you ever been into a sub shop and walked into a adjoining pub with great beer, game on TV, seating for 20 and cute bartenders? That's what this place is. I'm a fan and will be back... Oh yeah, food from the pizza/sub shop was pretty good!

We were downtown already parked, so it involved a 12 minute walk out to the brewery but it was still very worth it, easy to get to via the great sidewalk system within the city. It looks like an old converted house that now has an open floor plan with a tiny bar, walk up service (no wait staff) for all of your food/drink needs and then maybe about a dozen tables with some video games in the back. It's not a huge place and I was kind of surprised we didn't have any kind of view of the brewing area unless it doesn't take place on site. We were glad we chose to eat lunch here, not only for the inventive offerings but also because of the prices. It's getting harder and harder to find even lunch items for less than $15 but everything we got was just that. The pizza was pretty meh but the kids didn't seem to mind. I'm always a sucker for excellent grain mustard that pairs well with pretzels and it definitely did here. The curry chicken salad sandwich was the standout for me, perfectly seasoned with a good amount of complimentary grapes and the house made bread really put it all together. Now I wish we had gotten two of them. I had a New England IPA that was cloudy and fruity, an excellent pairing with the pretzels and sandwich. Not the best brewery in the world and a bit small but it serves the needs of one of New England's quaint seaside towns. My biggest disappointment was not seeing one single TV while we were in there for a Patriots game that was about to start.

Ambiance was comfortable and welcoming, other than the fact that it was a bit cold. We ordered the veggie potstickers as an app, which were very flavorful and tasty. For my main, I ordered the Khao Gai Yang, a dish with chicken, rice, veggies, and a sauce on the side. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned. My only complaint is that the sauce was quite fishy, which isn't to my personal taste. I would come back but try something else next time.

    Small-ish outfit near the golf course with about a dozen tables and a long bar with a few TV…read morescreens. Beer selections are minimal but just varied enough that you'll find something to your liking, whether mainstream or craft. The food menu is much deeper, nailing most of the pub food classics. As a burgers and wings guy, that was my focus, but there's enough greenery to satisfy my vegetarian wife too. GPH Burger: A well sourced blend, made into a patty of good thickness, grilled over an open flame, and housed in a potato bun with a generous allotment of toppings. Beautiful presentation, and most importantly, the flavor of the beef came through, never getting lost. You can order pink or no pink; I went pink, and on my first visit they nailed the temperature, color, and juiciness to go along with the crusty exterior. Good seasoning, and very enjoyable grill flavor. One of the best burgers I've had this year. Tried it again on a second visit, again requesting pink, but: a) not pink or juicy, and b) no flame grill flavor. Still a decent burger-- mostly because the addition of some nicely chewy and very strongly cured bacon picked up some of the slack. Third try, a repeat of the first, so two out of three ain't bad. Smashburger: Solid enough, though not as pronounced of surface crispness as a proper smashburger. Fries: Hand-cut, plentiful, dark, crispy, and just droopy enough. There's no salt on the table, but these were salted perfectly. Ketchup is an off brand, with a little more tartness than the standard, but it worked fine. Onion Rings: The thick ring, thick batter kind, and very crunchy. All depends on whether you like that style. Hot Dog: The menu lists them with fries included, but if you're already getting a burger, you can add one on without getting the extra fries. Toasted New England flat-sided bun, very juicy, grilled wiener, and toppings you can choose. Chili is a $3 add-on, but note there are beans included. I enjoyed mine and would get it again without the chili. Wings: Went Buffalo once, somewhat crisp, somewhat tender, nice sauce, with spices and seasonings, but not what I'd call Buffalo and not much coverage. These are baked, then fried, so missing a little something.went sweet chili on the next visit, and these were closer to the listed flavor and a little closer to wings that quench a wings craving.

    I've passed this place 100 times over the years, but finally went in. I was certainly missing out…read more Absolutely fast and friendly service. The food is tremendous.
