    Pear Salad
    Lisa W.

    Service and atmosphere always great. I'm struggling with some of the salad dishes even though the options look really good. Maybe this picture I snapped of the Chicken Pear salad summarizes it best...iceberg lettuce (wilted) mixed in with the greens making it seem like they were running out of what should be a green leaf salad, with huge uneven cuts of red onion. Maybe I'm picky, but it just seemed like it was made at home in a hurry. Flavor was good with the raspberry vinaigrette. I have to say, the nachos were amazing and reminded me of the ones we used to make and serve at Marfaritavilke/Margarita in Mystic, but they use thinner chips here. These are big words coming from me as a nacho snob growing up working at "The Villle."

    My family had dinner here on a Saturday evening. Although it was busy, we were able to be seated right away. I started off with a strawberry daiquiri, which unfortunately tasted bad - straight up watery alcohol, no strawberry flavor or sweetness existed, so I had to swap it for a coconut mojito instead. For food, I just got the Nachos with chicken. The nachos were massive, flavorful and filling. I can't remember what everyone got, but Clam Cakes were shared and enjoyed. Overall, this place was good for a casual dinner with family.

    Portuguese Clam Pasta

    This is a Home Run. Replacing the badly named Thirsty Beaver, this is a major upgrade. They have a huge selection of draft beer and cans drinks, as well as cocktails. The food is phenomenal. I had the Portuguese Clam Pasta.. Little necks perfectly cooked and tender not rubbery. Awesome tasting broth from the class and onion, peppers, and chorizo gave this dish the perfect amount of spice. Served over linguine and I've found my new go to when I crave seafood. Appetizers are almost a meal in themselves, my favorite being the Tumbleweeds. The only holdover from the aforementioned establishment. Eat at the beautiful bar and watch a dozen different tv's.

    Overall, I have to say fair at best. Happy they were busy and they have made a good transition but the food is only fair. Lobster Mac bad 2 pieces of lobster and it was very overdone and expensive for the little lobster you get. My granddaughter had grilled cheese and they gave her 12 fries with half of them burned and poor display on the plate. My wife had seasoned swordfish that was just one small filet with three broccoli pieces and a small potato. My sister in law took two tries to get her calamari dinner to her. They gave her two other meals first. Averaging over $20 per entry is regular but it is still more of a pub than restaurant or tavern. Hopefully they will iron out service and lack of service issues l. Heard it was a five star so we tried but still working on it. Keep up the effort! I hope for better results soon

The Windjammer ended up being exactly what I needed I didn't order any food this visit because I was really just looking for a quiet spot to enjoy a drink while waiting for the crowds to die down. And I'm so glad I stopped in. The mudslide was phenomenal. My dad has always made my favorite mudslides, and he'd probably hate me for saying this... but this one was even better. It was perfectly creamy, smooth, and absolutely delicious. One thing that really surprised me was how spacious the bar actually is. From photos online, it looked like it might feel a little cramped, but that couldn't have been further from the truth. The layout is open, there are multiple ways to access the outdoor seating areas, and it never felt claustrophobic. The outdoor space is another huge plus. Between the cornhole boards, ladder ball, and plenty of room to spread out, it's the kind of place where you could easily spend an entire afternoon with friends or family. Most importantly, the staff was wonderful. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and made the atmosphere feel relaxed from the moment I walked in. Whether you're looking for a lively afternoon with games or just a comfortable place to escape the crowds for a while with a great drink, the Windjammer is well worth a stop.

    Update If you're…read morelooking for a spot that nails the classics while still feeling fresh and fun, Pooch's Pour House is it. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming--laid‑back enough for a casual night out, but with just the right buzz to make it feel special. Wings: Hands down some of the best wings around. Perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and tossed in sauces that actually taste crafted rather than generic. The buffalo has that ideal balance of tang and heat, while the honey BBQ hits with smoky sweetness. What impressed me most was consistency--every wing came out cooked to perfection, no soggy bites, no overdone edges. Nachos: The nachos are a showstopper. A generous pile that doesn't skimp on toppings--every layer has cheese, jalapeños, and savory goodness, not just the top. The house‑made queso is rich and creamy, and the fresh pico adds a bright kick that keeps the dish from feeling heavy. It's the kind of plate that's perfect for sharing, though you'll be tempted to keep it all to yourself. Beyond the food, the staff is attentive without hovering, and the drinks are cold and reasonably priced. It's the kind of place where you can settle in for a game, a night with friends, or just indulge in comfort food done right. Bottom line: Pooch's Pour House delivers wings and nachos that set the bar high, and the overall vibe makes it a spot worth returning to again and again.

    Always excellent! Nice wait staff , food is always hot & fresh . Nice atmosphere and great drinks …read more Nice local pub.

On the bright side, the kids were thrilled with their Mac & Cheese -- it's hard to go wrong with a classic like that! We also tried the CFC and the Alabama Slammer Burger; both hit the spot, but didn't exactly knock our socks off. The atmosphere was lively and fun, thanks to the DJ and karaoke, though it did get a touch too loud for my liking -- maybe I'm just nostalgic for a quieter supper! Our server, however, was a gem -- friendly, attentive, and quick with a smile. All in all, a pleasant spot if you're after a good time and a decent meal -- just don't expect culinary fireworks.

The meat was tender and not fatty, perfect amount of cheese and sauce. Loved the marbled bread. The fries were ok but nothing special or memorable. They are fries. I asked my server for their opinion on a few drinks and they said go with the bad blood tini. It was seriously dangerous.....light, refreshing, icy cold, and damn delicious! Highly recommend it! Watch Hill lighthouse, East beach and the Watch Hill Carousel aren't that far if you are looking for a day trip this summer. Stop here before or afterwards!

They were a very large size and perfectly cooked. The (grown up) Mac and Cheese was topped with crispy bacon and toasted breadcrumbs. It was very tasty. The stuffies ($4 each) were delicious. The breadsticks were nice and soft and salty. The beer cheese was realllllllly good. The other family with us practically licked the cheese cup clean. The staff was really friendly and checked up on us multiple times (in our 2 hour visit). The menu here is extensive. The other family - who is from out of town said that they wouldn't mind coming here regularly (mostly basing it on the food hahhaaha). We ended up not going to eat afterwards and they provided us with (compostable) boxes to bring home the left overs. Between food and bowling we spent about $110 for 2 hours.

Once your buzzer is called you finally get your table which they have 15 tables available. The hostess in this area escorts your party to your table. There really isn't a bad seats there. There is a separate waitress for the bar area so you have to settle your bar table before moving over to your table. The menu has a plentiful of meals to choose from. I went with the fish & chips which was a good amount of cod. Also we had the oysters to start off with. The food was very delicious. We declined with the deserts as we were full. If you haven't been to the Dog Fish Cafe you should as you won't be disappointed with the fresh seafood they serve there.

We are a very inexperienced group of bowlers and they kindly put us on the farthest lane. The food server promptly took our food order and checked up on us a few times.
