Fried chicken sandwich
Sera G.

I just had to update my review..... Was delighted to see Harp still open after all the Covid shutdowns and business closures. Stopped in a couple times for a quick dinner. I came home from spending more than a week down south eating all the best soul food, but I have to say, I just had the absolute BEST fried chicken sandwich at The Harp on Church. Best fried chicken sandwich I've ever had IN MY LIFE, and I consider myself a soul food connoisseur. Unbelievable! Somebody keep me away from this joint, or I'll never eat anywhere again!

At night

Some friends and I snagged a primetime dinner in the nice table by the window on a Saturday, and we felt like we struck the jackpot! Literally every other table seemed to be full, and we were hungry! Our waitress was attentive and was somehow able to still manage all the other crazy tables. The Asian chicken poppers ($12-ish) were surprisingly super satisfying. There were a ton that came on the plate, and the sauce on top was sweet without being too gooey. I loved the pickled cucumber that also came with the dish. I got the good ol' Harp Burger as my main. It was cooked just as I requested, and the bacon, caramelized onions, and bacon were amazing. If you can believe it, this burger wasn't particularly messy, and yet all the ingredients did fit in the bun. A feat! Harp catered to an older crowd - at least on this night - and it felt super local. This was a great bar dining experience!

Onion Soup Gratinee was delicious, sweet, and filling!

Onion Soup Gratinee was awesome and the men loved the Irish Stew. Another Yelp win! Surprised my local 90 year old uncle with this gem in his town!! We'll be back whenever we visit, and he'll be back a lot before then!!

Food: 8/10- great flavor, made fresh. The garlic mash was basic and did not have a creamy texture…read moreand lacked the garlic taste. The rest of the food was everything I expected. The wings and the mousse (beyond expectations)!! MUAH- chef's kiss! The mussels were good but need a bit of something. Service: I had my food for pick-up. I did not eat-in so I can't offer a true review. HOWEVER. The host/greeters were polite. They greeted me upon eye contact and kept warm smiles on their face the entire time. When my food bag was handed to me. I was met with a fare well greeting and a thank you. 10/10 for my service experience, although brief. Ambiance: Vibrant. When you walk in you hear pleasant chattering and the sound of honest conversation and genuine joy. Price: 8.5/10. Fair prices.

Willibrew has been a staple for more than 25 years, and that history is honestly the only thing…read morekeeping this from being a much lower rating. There's a lot of nostalgia tied to this place, but the experience today feels like a shadow of what it used to be. The quality has dropped drastically. Service was, frankly, atrocious--slow, disengaged, and bordering on indifferent. The beer selection is still decent, but it doesn't matter much when every pour arrives tasting off. Whether it's bad kegs or hot glasses, the result is the same: lukewarm, skunky beer that's hard to enjoy. Food was another disappointment. Every item came out cold, and the flavors were on par with grade‑D fast food--bland, lifeless, and nowhere near the standard this place once had. Giving three stars feels generous, but it's a nod to the legacy Willibrew built over the decades. I truly hope they find their footing again, because right now, the nostalgia is doing all the heavy lifting. Ummmmm cheers I guess

This place is so perfectly named. Despite being from Groton when I walked in there was a sense of…read morefamiliarity. The decorum was not the same but the energy reminded me of my old stomping ground (O'Neils in New London RIP). I enjoyed the collection of decor, especially the dragon hanging from the ceiling and the little guy in the upper corner. The bar tender was friendly and I enjoyed over hearing them talk with regulars. I ordered the happy hour nachos and a Diet Coke. There wasn't anything fancy about them but they felt nostalgic (and very cheesy!). I want to come back and try one of their grill cheese but I don't know if my tummy could handle that much cheese in one go.

Driving through the small town of Putnam we were looking for something to eat and the stomping…read moreground came up on Yelp. With good reviews and a cool menu we dropped in and couldn't have been happier! We were pretty lucky as it was not that busy and we were able to get a table right away. The decor is eclectic and interesting. The staff came with a great smile and even better attitude; absolutely top notch! We started w the pretzels and beer cheese. Holy 6 pound baby Jesus they were good. They came out piping hot and the cheese was in a bubbling side dish. This isn't your typical dab of cheese in a plastic condiment container that is commonplace nowadays. I had the Arturo Sandoval (spin on a Cuban) as my entree and it was also fabulous and came out hot. If I was being critical, the pork was a wee bit dry, but that happens sometimes and it really didn't take away from the sando. Even the small side of pasta salad was outstanding. I'm lucky if I eat sides like that 1/100 times and this one I couldn't wait to finish. Great vibe, great staff, great food, and live music almost every day. Definitely gonna go back and if it's just as good will update to 5 stars.
