We went back to Havershsms last week to have a drink. Kristen Siepuetowski was our bartender. She makes the best drinks. Always makes us feel right at home. It feels great to be back. read more

Terrible experience. Despite calling ahead we were told we had a bit of a wait, which was totally fine until another party came in and was seated ahead of us. We were told they got seated before us because they were related to the owner... not cool. My dad mentioned it was his birthday to a waitress he and my mom often have and she told him that it was "nothing special and everyone has a birthday" Was told they only had one high chair when we needed two. A neighboring table pointed out a high chair just sitting in the corner behind them so we grabbed it to use on our own. Food was just okay but we were starving after a 45 minute wait. My parents went here quite often prior to this but after being treated so terribly and having a waitress tell my dad that his birthday wasn't special, I highly doubt any of us will ever go back. read more

Sadly we will not return to the Haversham. We have been dedicated customers of this restaurant But we will no longer be. Today I made a call ahead reservation and was promised the bar area for 9 people. Upon arrival there was a makeshift table by the hostess area nowhere near the bar or even dining room. Upon my objection I was given a lame excuse that it was raining out so they couldn't accommodate. I explained that I called ahead and was promised the bar area. We would not have made the drive or the effort to go knowing that this was gonna be how we treated. Sadly if this is how the new ownership treats their solid customers it will be a short lived operation. read more

Delicious food and wonderful service and atmosphere! We always enjoy going to "The Sham!"

My first time there. I didn't know what to expect based on other reviews. I had a lobster roll and it was good. Just the right amount of mayo. Service was ok, not stellar. We did wait almost 5 minutes for someone to come to the hostess stand, only to be told to seat ourselves. Also, the dining room could use a refresh. read more

Live locally and have been a few times for drinks and sometimes food. As the 3.5 rating would suggest nothing to get excited about. The atmosphere and decor are great. The service is generally good. The food mediocre at best, we always joke stick to the basics. Went tonight with my wife and daughter service from Robin was excellent, that's about the only positive of our visit. Ordered a beef barley soup special, soup came missing two things flavor and barley, there was not a single piece of barley in the bowl. Sent it back for a credit. Next for dinner ordered a buffalo chicken wrap a burger and a steak sandwich. For sides we asked for onion rings, and two tots. The burger was good cooked properly, the buffalo chicken came out cold inside and out with chunks of unmelted cheese inside. The steak sandwich inside was great but seriously the roll ( if you want to call it a roll) was a joke of crap off the supermarket shelf that fell apart, my wife ended up just leaving the roll and eating the inside. The tots were so salty and the rings undercooked we gave up on them part way through. Our server came at the end and we explained our frustration she took our plates which were varying degrees of not finished to the manager. A few minutes later she returned and said the manager based on seeing our plates agreed with most of the feedback and as such would comp two glasses of wine. Really leave it to a server to deal with this? What a joke, my job requires me to travel 40 weeks a year, I eat out four days a week and generally don't complain, even though I explained this to the server and she to her manager they couldn't be bothered to come out to apologize or offer to remove some of the items. What an entitled restaurant, other than drinks don't waste your time. read more

Great restaurant and venue. The staff is great and they go above and beyond. They have a great menus and plenty of drinks to try. Easy parking in multiple lots. read more

What happened to this place? Our past experiences dining at Haversham's have typically been very positive - good service, good food, good ambiance, clean facilities. This evening, however, our dining experience was severely lacking - the service was lackadaisical, the food was over-priced, over-done, lacking in flavor and quantity! The French onion soup, which in the past has been outstanding, tasted like a water-downed version. The "world famous" ribs were prepared leaving on the back membrane, not very tender. The bacon burger had 1 slice of bacon, and though the burger was ordered medium rare, was served half medium rare and half well-done. The sides that came with the entrees were rather skimpy. Additionally, the men's room had a urinal that was disgustingly bad as the flushing lever wasn't working! Something not expected in a place like this! Appears that management has lost interest in providing a great experience for all its customers and is relying on the summer tourist trade to keep it in business! read more

I thought the French onion soup was watery and lacked flavor. Decent Caesar salad and good cocktails. Would go back for a cocktail. read more

I had the Ruben which was excellent and 20oz Gansett was reasonable. Bartenders were helpful and very friendly! Definitely going back! read more

Went there on a nice Monday afternoon because we knew they had a pretty patio and gazebo. When we saw the hostess and asked to sit outside she put us in this ugly tent next to the building with no atmosphere and uncomfortable seats. We asked if we could sit on the patio - a few feet away!- and she said no they weren't serving out there! The food was just ok. I had the pecan chicken salad with no flavor to the cold chicken , and the 3 other meals were nothing special. No bread served with the meals. NO hot tea! And no cream for the coffee -only had milk. When the coffee came it was lukewarm bottom of the pot. She did make us fresh after we told her but still was lousy without cream. Oh well- we won't rush back there anytime soon. read more

Front of house staff was overwhelmed and overwhelming. There was quite a wait despite making a reservation, which we were told is just a "preference" but not actually reserving a table. It was a 20 minute wait beyond our reservation time, and we ended sitting in the bar. Our server was very pleasant and prompt but the food took forever. The food itself was tasty, we mostly got grilled salmon with various sides. The stuffed shrimp was delicious and I recommend the onion rings. read more

We arrived at 5:15pm and as expected were told that it would be a 35-45 minute wait. We were fine with this on a busy Friday. My wife checked a couple of times on the status and with 20 minutes still on the estimated initial 45 minute clock, we were told there were 7 parties ahead of us. After 45 minutes, I politely went to check on the status and was told 1) that 6 parties were ahead of us, and 2) that the Haversham's policy is that call-ins get slotted in ahead of walk-ins. I felt bad for the staff that had to communicate this terrible policy. Not knowing if we'd be seated in 30, 60, or 90 additional minutes, we decided to leave, and I shared my disappointment. As a local resident, this is an easy way to turn off what normally would be regular customers. Shame on management. read more

OVERALL FABULOUS. Exterior & interior are beautiful with a sprawling garden terraced patio areas. Inside the Tavern is beautiful with high ceilings & lots of natural lights. Center square bar with plenty of high top seating around it. Large dining areas. Great lighting. Fantastic music at a medium level so it doesn't inhibit conversation. The staff were friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, attentive & efficient. Craft cocktails & excellent beer & wine selection. The menu was varied & all the food was delicious. Prices were very reasonable. Definitely adding this to my regular rotation! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

First visit to the Haversham and won't be the last when I return to the shoreline. Service was quick , servers are young but nice. Food came out hot and was not disappointed at all, steak was nicely seasoned and tasted great , ordered medium rare and got medium well but wouldn't complain it was still great ! read more

This is a wonderful cozy spot to host a wedding that can handle a large crowd. The setting is comfortable but special (a few twinkly outside spots to sit for a bit of fresh air), and the food/drink was remarkably delicious for the very reasonable cost. Brendan was an extremely attentive, helpful, calming host. Highly recommend. read more

Nice established business that spends time keeping the place in tip top shape. Very impressed with the appearance of the place. My family sat on the outside patio which was beautiful. My grandmother jokingly said someone needs to get the couple weeds between the brick but that's the gardener in her. Reservation was for six which is a nice time after spending all day on the beach. Today was a bit breezy so shorts and a sweatshirt was perfect. The family ordered clam chowder and the overall consensus was it was above average. Thicker than most and tasty. As for me I just was not up for seafood so I went with a cheese pizza with pesto sauce. Wasn't aware it was a red tomato based pesto and not basil so was bummed about that. Thin crust which was nicely cooked, would have like to see a bit more cheese to compliment it. The adults got hot lobster rolls which were slightly bigger than a hotdog roll. They enjoyed them. My cousins got a steak which was perfectly cooked rare as requested and linguine with shrimp which was filling! The service was excellent. Happy to cater to your needs. Cleaned off the dirty dish ware in a timely matter. Everyone was wearing masks, which is understandable but I would have been ok if they didn't, I'm over it. Only negative was the amount of flies around the table. Eating outside I would expect it but there was a good six or so just buzzing around the entire time. read more

Always great food and atmosphere. The servers are always friendly and helpful with recommendations

Very tasty and great service. Not a long wait, Friday night 6pm. Dinner was whole clams entree, broccolini and baked potato. Excellent clams, not too heavy on the batter and sweet. Husband enjoyed the teriyaki chicken. Son liked the pizza. Lot of people commenting on the good food. read more

Huge menu, great food, wonderful people, very large place. We love to sit at the huge bar with all the big screen TV's covering shows for everyone's interest. read more

Stopped here while on the first night of our vacation in Rhode Island. Clam Chowder was so hood, we decided to go back on our last night in Rhode Island as well! On 1st visit, we also had a pizza which was fairly good. Last visit we added a hot lobster roll which was quite enjoyable. Excellent service and varied menu. read more

This food was delicious I got the bbq bacon burger and just it's was delicious. Also service was amazing they did not take long for taking our order and after the food was done they immediately took it to our table. The vibe made me feel great it matched the taste of the food.

We stopped in to Havershams after a day at the beach. We decided to just have a couple of appetizers. The potato skins were delicious, and the chicken quesadilla was equally delicious. The bartenders were very attentive and always kept checking on us to make sure all was going well. We have been there before, and we will definitely be there again. read more

The Restaurant, being in the Ocean State, has terrible fried food. The Fish and Chips were extremely over cooked. The flesh became one with the batter and was hard and tough . Likewise the fries were also over cooked and stale. The Kitchen staff needs more training on how to prepare fried food. However, our waitress was pleasant and attentive. the food was terrible. read more

Excellent food and service. I travel to this part of Rhode Island 5-10 times a yr. I come up with my fishing club, and Haversham House is a must. Great food, service and atmosphere. read more

We ended up eating here because my friend and I are terrible planners and this was the only place that had a reservation available within a few hours on a Friday night. At the time, the average yelp rating was 3.5 stars so I wasn't expecting anything amazing, HOWEVER, that was not the case! There was plenty of parking and was relatively easy to find (with gps). The outside dining was so pretty and would be the perfect place for a nice date, even a wedding ! We got the outrageous nachos with chicken, and they were HUGE and delicious. We also split the lobster Mac n cheese and it was sooo good. There were huge chunks of delicious lobster and worth the pricey tag. Our waitress was a cute blonde lady with a cheetah print bandana and was super sweet and helpful! She checked on us throughout our meal and provided superb service. Even though she had a mask on, she was still smiley and pleasant. Hopefully next year when we come back, masks will be a joke of the past (like everything else that happened in 2020) so we can actually feel human emotion and connectivity again. The bathrooms were fine. read more

We ate here today and literally everything we ate was delicious. Huge Cobb salad in a tortilla bowl was amazing. Ultimate nachos were delicious with the chili. French onion soup is probably the best I have had locally and the French dip sandwich literally melts in your mouth and cooked to perfection. Service and atmosphere is the vibe as well. read more

Well I really like the Haversham, however the little things were off. Took forever to get seated. Waitress was very nice but hostess staff were somewhat disorganized. Food was good overall. I'm sure it was just a glitch in the matrix:-) read more

Great pub. Consistently good value. Friendly atmosphere. Large selection. The in place to be.

Came here for lunch. When we came in. Everything was going great. We were seated right away. Then our waiter came and took our orders. So, we got there at 12:30 something. First we gave our appetizer order. Shortly after we finally decided and ordered our main meal. And at this time our appetizer finally came out. This is 20 minutes after we had ordered the apps. That was fine. We weren't complaining. But when we finally made our meal order. It took them an hour to finally serve us. We watched table after table ordering and then getting their food. I kept asking my table if they forgot about us. Ok, so in between all this. We were seated near the kitchen doors. So we can see them cook, who is going in and out of the kitchen. We noticed that one person in particular was sweat profusely and kept rubbing his nose. Didn't see him wash or anything. But, you can only imagine. Finally our food has arrived. Sorry I don't have pictures. I was going to refrain from posting anything at all. But, I couldn't keep my mouth shut about this. So back to the food. I got a cold lobster salad. It was cold alright. They did add a good amount of lobster. But, where was the mayo and lettuce. They served me a lobster roll that was just bread and lobster. Like seriously. My friend had ordered the fried fish sandwich. It was over cooked. Not golden brown but, really dark brown. Not only that he said that there wasn't any fish really. It was all over cooked batter. So when our waiter came. We decide to tell her about the guy in the button up shirt. And what we observed. This guy comes out all defensive. Saying I heard you talking about me to my waitress. Seriously! This guys was still sweating bad. His hair was all wet at the front of his forehead and you could see the sweat beads on him. He definitely was back there sniffing something. So we tell him what we observed and about the food. And he was like I took your military discount off for you. That is t what we were talking about. Then he goes to tell us that he was not doing any of those things we were accusing him of. Which pretty much he was talking about touching his nose. Then he wanted to say is there anything else you want to complain about. Seriously, that is not how you being a manager talks to the customer. Or how you handle things with a customer getting all defensive. First of all if you didn't do any of the things we seen. You wouldn't get defensive. You'd apologize even if in your head you didn't do it. All, you had to do was say sorry. I'm understand your not happy with the service or what ever it is. You just made yourself loon guilty. Also, you didn't even touch on the food we had complained about. Oh! As for my lobster roll. I had to ask for a side of mayo and mix my lobster in it myself. I could of done that at home. Lol. I was not impressed with this place. I was in the beginning. But nope. I will not return. I don't understand the hostility that was shown to a paying customer. When we didn't make a scene. We just simply wanted the waitress to be aware to let the manager know that we weren't happy with the way the food came out and also to have the manager fix his hygiene issues. read more

Food was excellent and the service was beyond amazing. They accomplished what no other place near by could, seating for 6 on no notice. Awesome job! read more

Broke my typical rule on avoiding steak when dining out and ordered a strip with a mushroom demi-glaze. The food was excellent (and fast), and our waitress was on top of things, ensuring that glasses were never empty. Would definitely come back. One thing that could be changed? The TV was incredibly loud -- and it didn't even match the channels that were on near us. But, considering the food and service, it was still a great trip. read more

A treasure to be sure. The food is always delicious and fast. Music on the weekends makes it fun, TVs everywhere make it a great place to hang on a Sunday afternoon to watch a game. read more

We frequented the place a lot when living here. Now in Fla the last two years. Visited the area this week and had to get back to our fave restaurants. Always dependable here. Very good, never disappointing. Consistent and that's a major plus. Staff is always pleasant and helpful. Enjoyed our meals and time here. Will be back again in two years hopefully. Nice to see my old pics still online here. My only gripe was that the grounds outside always beautiful this time of year. Would have preferred dining outside. Don't know why there was no service there. Was always ok over the years past. We missed that. read more

A Hidden Gem ! Amazing, amazing, amazing! Stopped by on a snowy night after dropping a car for repair. The first thing I noticed was some great music playing outside from the gazebo. Walked in to a lively place with a very friendly receptionist and a bustling crowd. They took our number, the staff was entertaining as we waited for a seat and we were amazed how quickly things progressed. We sat at a table near the bar and the manager came to say hello. Food was outstanding! Served promptly, hot and delish. Presentation was great as well. I highly recommend any of the Mac and cheese dishes if you're in need of some great comfort food. Prices were reasonable as well. read more

Be mindful about reservations, I dislike writing negative reviews and I feel this needed to be shared. Called for the last week daily to try and schedule a late lunch for Father's Day. The phone went to voicemail for two days and the third day a very kind individual scheduled us for 2pm outside on Father's Day (knowing it will get us first in line per their Facebook posts) and stressed outside. We received a call 45 minutes before our 2pm reservation on Father's Day saying they can't seat us outside due to a big event they have, only inside. I explained we have individuals not comfortable with indoor seating yet and they said, "sorry we can't accommodate due to a large event we have outside.. we didn't know about the event when you scheduled." The individual was nice on the phone and nothing else could be done. Family from all over coming to celebrate Father's Day and we get a call 45 minutes before our scheduled arrival. It was a really sad experience and having to cancel the gathering as other restaurants did not have availability on short notice. We were very excited to experience Haversham. Please be mindful of scheduling, that was heartbreaking & horrible to have occur! :-( read more

Ate here tonight and I have to say we were both very happy. We were seated promptly, and our waitress was delightful. We both had lobster bisque which was creamy and tasty. I opted for a basic burger snd my sister had a fried haddock sandwich. Both were really good. I ordered my burger medium rare and SURPRISE, that's what I got. We will be returning! read more
