My daughter and I were out of towners and felt like we had hit the local hot spot for sure(which is what we look for). Food was delicious and service was great There was one waitress and one cook and they were rocking that packed house! You could not tell by the food or service that they were the only ones working. read more

Stones Pub and Eatery - Burger and sweet potato fries(and a horse radish sauce that went with the fries so well!) then cheese dip and chips behind. - Pubs Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

My husband, two kids and I had an early dinner here a few weeks ago. It was great - very reasonably priced, quick service, good drinks, fun games, and a popcorn machine! It's casual but an easy walk-in option, especially if you can't get a reservation at other spots. On main street and right downtown, so easy to get to and a lot going on around it. We'll be back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere and delicious food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's as if a I walked into a small town business where everyone knew each other.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bartender knew all the local customers coming in, there was a woman in the back hand shaping burger patties. At one point, one of the waitress brought in 3 big bags of tortillas. You can tell this establishment is a small, local business. The food was SO GOOD too. Honestly some of the best nachos I have ever had. 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. Definitely a must go to spot if you are ever in Gloucester. read more

Superb food! The kitchen was open until 10pm, which was great for a Monday night as a lot of places are closed. Friendly staff. The bartender was super friendly and attentive, she really helped us pick some great items. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small space though, so it would be crowded on Fridays and Saturdays at prime time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Fun spot. Food & service were great. Our waitress (12-yr veteran there whose name escapes me) was a hoot!

"The Best" burger on Cape Ann hands down. All the burgers are 1/2 pound of angus beef and served on various rolls from local Vigillios bakery. I really like the Barnyard Burger with bacon, pulled pork, cheese & fried egg. The French fries regular or sweet potato are great too. Friends had the chicken salad which was very good and another had the bar b que which tasty Randy the bartender makes a great drink and pours a good beer... she is the best in my book and Hope and Ashley have a good grip on that small kitchen Give it a try read more

Good spot- year round which is nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Casual spot- loved the popcorn machine that u can just grab ur own. Also the seasonings were fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Mac & cheese was yummy- satisfactory, good The wings were fine but I was a little disappointed when they were all drumsticks and no wings [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not a crazy place but casual and reliable[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

What an awesome gem I happened to be staying right down the street from. I went to Boston to visit family and to get out of Texas for a bit to enjoy some vacation time. It was a last-minute trip and found this little town an hour away from Boston. This place was walking distance right down main street from my airbnb. This place felt pretty welcoming and had a great list of different items on their menu. I was disappointed to find they didn't have their lobster roll anymore, but ended up going with their BLT and fries accompanied with a nice cold beer. Great first night getting settled in. Highly recommended. Great staff and very friendly. read more

We got the Grilled Meatloaf Sandwich and a pub burger. Both were delicious! The burger was cooked as ordered. All of the staff were very friendly. They're also open until 12am, which is great for those getting into the area late. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is on the smaller side, but everything is spaced out well so you don't feel like you're in the way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hubby also really enjoyed the Ipswich Hazy IPA on tap. 10/10 would recommend. read more

My husband and I just returned home from eating dinner at this establishment. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a cozy pub and I love the array of games.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a dad and young son playing checkers. They also had Backgammon which we love to play but we were eating dinner at the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband had a cheeseburger and I had their special sandwich of the day which was corned beef on a pumpernickel roll with sweet potato fries and a horseradish/mayo dipping sauce. Both were plentiful and tasty. We started our eating adventure with two tequila cosmos and their appetizer special, garlic and parmesan wings. Excellent! Kayla, our bartender was adorable-with every song playing overhead, she was singing to it. They were playing pop songs from the 90's. Kayla was also efficient and made a great cocktail. I sat next to a regular who was very friendly and told us everything on the menu is great! Michael and I will definitely be back! The prices too are fair and the cocktail was $13 which is reasonable. read more

Food, drinks, and service were excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cool, casual spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everything tasted fresh, fries were perfectly crispy, burger was spot on. Would come here again. read more

My wife and I really like to eat at the places where the local folks eat. We found Stone's Pub and we were really glad we did! As we were waiting for the pub to open a local fellow told us that they have great burgers...and he was right! I got Eric's Back Bay Burger which comes with a fried egg on top and it was so good! The egg yolk was perfectly oozy! My wife had the fig and prosciutto panini and she loved it. I washed it all down with a couple of Smithwick's Irish Ales. The atmosphere is very relaxed. read more

Great drinks, good burgers, [[HIGHLIGHT]]a nice quiet ambiance that can let you talk and hear your party as well[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

Group of 6 came into the establishment after 10:00 pm on our way to our VRBO. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

First visit to the area and needed a late night dinner and chose here. Sat at the bar and the bartender I think named Kylie was super friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and service fantastic. They also have many tables to sit at as well. If you want great service with a smile and great food definitely make this your stop read more

A gem in the middle of downtown. The bar and tables were full and the whole place was bustling. We had to try the cheese dip and we weren't disappointed. A must try! Our waitress was friendly, helpful, and attentive. We ordered the Ruben and the meatloaf sandwich-both with sweet potato fries. Portions were big and prices were very reasonable. We grabbed dessert to go and that didn't disappoint either. Don't pass up this local spot! read more

A fine stop in Gloucester. Small homey pub with a friendly staff. The clam chowder was good, otherwise food and beer selection were just alright. read more

We waited for our food for over an hour. Unfortunately I think they're very understaffed. Food was very mid and disappointing. Waitress was trying her best and was kind, but still not very attentive. No refills of water or anything. I assume this is also because she had to take care of more tables than she could handle. They messed up my food and put a completely different ingredient on my sandwich than I asked for. As someone with food allergies, this is not great! (I found out when I bit into it). I didn't like the ingredient, but I sucked it up because I wasn't going to wait another hour for food. Waitress was kind enough to take my meal off of the receipt though. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been to pubs before and know they can be loud but my experience at this restaurant was the worse I've ever experienced.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a woman at the next table who was fouled mouthed and frequently laughed very loudly and was even screeching and screaming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We told the waitress and she did nothing. I should have left but I had ordered my food. The food was ok with a very long wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely not a place to bring children as the management does not care about the enjoyment one expects when eating out with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I love this place as I do come every weekend and 1 day during the week .been coming here for yrs ,never a bad meal.the staff is great and atmosphere is nice no loud noise or people yelling in back or extremely loud music ,you actually can have a conversation with people grab a few drinks and chill spot .they do have a back room with is out of they way and nice to hang out. There burgers ,or Cajon grilled chicken with Cajon fries and order of pub sauce is delicious also Sriracha or buffalo mac n cheese is great and my favorite i do a bbq Sriracha wings,or there steak tips that are so good marinated perfectly and cooked with a nice char and wonderful taste and tender with a side of a spinach side salad that goes perfect together. There drinks are delicious by experienced bartenders ,espresso martini ,pickle back shots are great with a nice selection of drinks to choose from. I definitely recommend this place to anyone for a fun night with a few friends to chill out or a date night out where you can chat have a conversation without the crazy background noise read more

Stones Pub and Eatery - Sheppards pie I added a fried egg and bacon yummm - Pubs Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

Marginal. First off a proper pint of Guinness always scores points. Our waitress was very good and attentive. She was the only waitress working the whole place. 5 stars for her. Ordered the meatloaf sandwich. Disappointed. The pressed bun could have been prepped better. (Brush with garlic Mayo and then press.) The meatloaf had been neglected on the grill. Like 4th degree burn neglected. Seems the sweet potato fries did not escape extra time in the pit of oil, only to emerge crunchy and hollow. Portobello sandwich was cooked perfectly. Recommended if you like shrooms man. Sweet potato fries on this plate were perfectly done. This place would smash it with a bit more attention to the pub food and some wait staff help. Cheers. read more

We traveled to Gloucester for dinner during our trip to Rockport because, in my opinion, trying to find a decent place to eat with at least one vegetarian option and no wait in Rockport is like pulling teeth. This place had a welcoming outdoor section as we drove around investigating our options, and had ample parking on the street that evening which sealed the deal. Unfortunately there was no seating available outside as we entered the restaurant but there were plenty of open tables inside. The menu is typical pub food which includes starters like nachos and wings, burgers, comfort foods, and sandwiches. They sold me with the "local legend" in the description of their "Not Gary's 5 Cheese Dip" which is probably bullshit but I'm gullible lmao. The dip was pretty good! It was creamy with a kick when your chip snagged some of the hot sauce swirled on top. The chips seemed to be homemade and were super crispy. We both ordered the veggie burger, and I appreciated a vegetarian option which seems to be slim pickings in the area. I enjoyed it but it was nothing special or that I couldn't have made myself at home. Their fries lacked the dreaded sog and were salted perfectly. The host/waitress had a bit of an attitude I didn't appreciate. I watched other patrons come in after us and they were ignored in a you-wait-for-me-to-be-ready-to-serve-you kind of way. Ultimately this is not a bad spot if you're looking to chill and not vegetarian. read more

We visited Glaucester from our stay in Rockport, walked in with a group of 8, saw that there was no seating available - we began our slow disappointed walk-out. The bartender/waitress noticed and stopped us and told us they had a large booth in the back if we wanted to check it out! We decided to stay and give it a try! Glad we did - the service was attentive and friendly, and the food was great. Meatloaf sandwich and burgers were tasty. You can tell when the chef takes pride in the food they cook. read more

This restaurant showed up on our search on Yelp. Great choice! The staff were friendly and waited on us immediately. We received our food very quickly and it was delicious!! The hamburger was made exactly how I requested it. The sweet potato fries were abundant and made to perfection. The sauce that accompanied my order had horseradish and sour cream! Very different but my new favorite condiment. I would highly rate this restaurant!. If you are in Gloucester check it out! read more

Friendly service. Great burger! Nice low-key vibe. Will definitely return to this spot.

The pulled pork sandwiches are absolutely amazing along with their hamburgers, and nachos (these are the only three meals I have tried, but I have heard the whole menu is amazing) The staff is so friendly they're not the type of staff to ask you questions while you're putting food in your mouth (biggest pet peeve) . The service was fast the service was accurate. The restaurant was clean. The utensils were clean, and the bathroom was immaculate. I highly recommend stones, pub and eatery Also, this restaurant is extremely family-friendly !!! read more

A sleeper restaurant. Always consistently good. Try the clam chowder if they have it. Old school thin broth with a ton of flavor.

On our way to Rockport and stopped here for a late lunch bite. Randy was wonderful. Gave us tourist tips of the city. The cup of beef and bean loaded chili was very tasty and came with a baby mini loaf of cornbread. Split a 1/2 pound Pub burger, perfectly cooked, on the most delicious soft bun. French fries were light in color and crispy on the outside! I could have eaten a whole plate of them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute pub atmosphere and great food and service[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We just had an amazing dinner. We just arrived in town and asked the front desk at our hotel if anything was open for dinner. It was a little late and we know small towns can shut down early. She recommended Stones and it was fabulous. Red Sox on tv. Server was great. Locals giving us recommendations. We had the grilled cheese with pickles, BLT, Reuben and the peanut butter and bacon hamburger. We tried the sweet potato and regular fries. Everything was outstanding. For drinks, we had the Ipswich 1620 ipa and it was great. Be sure to ask for the pub sauce for your fries. What a great experience to set our vacation off perfectly!!!! read more

Absolutely spectacular food and friendly service. Got Mac n cheese with pulled pork stacked on top and it was legendary. Drink selection is awesome. Amazing spot and I highly recommend. read more

Went here on a Monday evening and we weren't overly impressed. I liked all the games - that was fun to play Uno before we ate. The beer list is very pedestrian. The menu (despite some fun names) is also fairly pedestrian. Our waitress was lovely. Noise level was a bit loud. The popcorn was stale (bummer). For meals, we went with a portobello mushroom burger. Just okay. The sweet potato fries weren't that great. I ordered a grilled cheese - havarti with tomatoes and pickles. So bland. It was disappointing. I also ordered the soup of the day - vegetable. Again, not great. My dining companion ended up eating it. My mother ordered a hot dog. She didn't like it. It wasn't a standard hot dog. She felt her salad was mostly lettuce. Prices were okay but we left feeling hungry. Probably would not stop in again which is a pity as we like to support local restaurants. read more

Had a burger and fries to go. Working on the island and was wanting something quick and easy. They nailed it! The meal was fresh, great tasting and appealing! The fries were excellent, and the burger was juicy and perfectly prepared. The interior was warm and comfortably small. I can tell it's a great local place to have a drink and socialize. If I lived on the island I would definitely make this an evening stop. If you're visiting it's a great place to have a cozy lunch. Shhh. read more
