New menu, but a severe loss in food quality. I've been coming every few months for the last 5 or 6 years. The last two times I've been, the food feels cheaper, and has a "reheated cafeteria food" sort of quality to it. I'm not sure if the place is under new management, or has switched to a cheaper wholesaler or what, but the fish in the "Fish and Chips" tonight were flavorless and crumbled apart in a very unsettling way. The fries which used to hold a good crunch and be of decent size are now no different than the flaccid tasteless fries you might get at an airport bar. Disappointing. 2 stars because the Guinness is still good. read more

The area is really cute, it reminds me of Star's Hollow from the Gilmore Girls series. Cute little town that you can walk around with a playground and benches scattered around. I had the Buffalo ck dip which was good, Ck avocado Salad was delish too (fresh veggies), they also have Clean, cute outdoor dining. The restroom was clean as well. read more

We had a party of 6 and were given a 25 minute wait estimate upon arrival. 55 minutes later we had our seating. During the wait we had drinks from the bar. We ordered nachos to begin, they were good but didn't go far with 6 people. Three of us ordered the pistachio chicken, which I'd had on a previous visit. The chicken breasts were very thick and unfortunately overcooked and tough. Shepherds pie was a knockout meal. Tacos and salmon entree also good. read more

Food- disgusting. Service- terrible. Drops the plate on the table, no napkin, fork etc. Ask for ketchup for fries, never returns. Ask for box never returns. 1 other couple at the entire restaurant. Are you for real????? read more

Went last year for St. Patricks Day and it was great - this year's meal was REALLY disappointing. The Irish beef stew used to be thick and super filling, but this year they didn't even fill up a tiny to-go cup the whole way. Less beef in it and not very thick. Not worth $27 for such a small portion. I was genuinely looking forward to Raven's Nest beef stew this year, so this is a shock. Won't be coming back next year. read more

Nice ambiance and friendly waitstaff. The blackened chicken sandwich was horrific. Did they get those breaststroke pre-made from Costco and heat them up in the microwave? Yep, pretty sure they did. Extremely disappointing entree. read more

Buffalo chicken salad, was good! Started with the chili tacos, did not disappoint! Paired with a perfect aperol spritz. Love that this has different seasonal special drinks and food items! Extremely friendly wait staff! read more

Great drinks and great staff, but the food seemed to take an hour to make it to our table.... And we only got a few apps. The pear martini was delightful, strong, and big, the espresso martini was sweet and yummy and strong and not made with any coffee. The wicked hot wings were wicked hot. So hot you don't feel like finishing them. The bruschetta was baller!!! So good. The Mac and cheese with cinnamon should have been much much cheesier. read more

Got a bottled beer. The glass had lipstick still on it. Brought it up to the bartender who was talking with either a manager or owner. I stood there waiting to be acknowledged . It was like I was interrupting. I showed her the glass and with no apology or comment, she handed me another glass and continued her conversation. We definitely will not go back there read more

It's a fun and lively place that has several seating options (bar, dining room and outdoor patios). I've eaten here several times and have to say that you should come here hungry. The servings are large and there is plenty of variety. To be honest, everything thing I've tried has been delicious. I'd recommend giving the pistachio chicken a try. The flavor combination is well done and it has a nice diversity in texture with the smoothness of the mashed potatoes and the crunch of the pistachios as well as the crispness of the asparagus. The shepherds pie is a flavorful favorite for a cool fall or cold winter day. The burgers come with fries that look like they are all bonus fries. The drink selection is decent and the pour sizes are generous. The waitstaff is knowledgeable and friendly. My only critique would be that it can be a little on the loud side but certainly not overwhelming. In closing, it's consistent good food, friendly service, and prices that seem reasonable. I'd recommend giving this place a try if you're looking for a few drinks and/or you want to add some delicious fare with friendly, knowledgeable service at a fair price. read more

Came in with a party of 4. Our server Mary was on point with her service and also had a great personality. Our food was all cooked and presented perfectly. The flavor was no let down either. Peach martinis balanced our evening out. A great evening had by all. read more

I am at Ravens Nest right now and I am soooo impressed with the service of the bartender JEFF! He is so kind and friendly, makes a great drink and knowledgeable of the menu. I hope JEFF is working every time I come to Ravens Nest! JEFF is already selling future menu products! What an asset to this establishment he is! read more

Great food and great service!! The "patio" is a bit merged with the sidewalk but was still nice to sit in the sun. Staff was super friendly and attentive read more

Terrible experience with their take out. First time they severely under cooked the steak on our salad (we like our steak medium rare...this was not cooked at all). Gave them another shot assuming that it was because it was a Saturday and they were very busy. Ordered again tonight. They told us 20 minutes. I showed up 25 minutes later. They asked my name for the order, proceeded to charge my card and let me wait for 15 minutes before asking me what I ordered. (Obviously they know what I ordered because they knew exactly what to charge me for when I told them my name upon arrival). They brought my order out and said it was under another name. By the time I got home (less than 10 minute drive) the food was cold to the touch. This place is fine if you can eat there, but DO NOT ORDER TAKE OUT. read more

One of the coziest pubs around! The food is always amazing. The specials are always a great addition to the already great menu. Drinks are always wonderful too! And love the staff- always providing the best service and serving the coldest drinks! read more

Went on Saturday evening. Amazed at the number of young children there. I thought we had gone to a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant. Thee must a have been five children under the age of two and another six children under the age of five. Is this an adult restaurant-bar or not. Very unconformable to eat or enjoy yourself in that environment. Not sure if this is more of a complaint to the owners or the parents who can't seem to accept the responsibility of being a parent. read more

so so so delicious! been here many times but it's a bit out of the way for us. well worth the drive, food is always great, staff is very attentive, added bonus was having 2 very well behaved puppies sitting on the patio we got to pet and play with. read more

Really disappointed. We came here on a Friday night and it was very busy. The Raven's Nest is in a cute downtown location with outdoor/sidewalk seating, a large bar and a small dining room. The hostesses took our name and we waited at the bar. Service was pretty slow, but again, it was busy. Sat at our table and 20 minutes went by, no service. I had to go up to the hostess to inform them we hadn't been greeted by our server yet. Someone finally came by (no apology or anything) and took our order for an app. The calamari wasn't cooked. Our entrees were over cooked and something I could have made at home (not a good sign) and our server switched halfway through unannounced? I understand staffing challenges these days, but a little courtesy goes a long way. The meal wasn't cheap, and we don't mind paying for good food and service, but neither were found here. read more

Every time that we go here, or do take-out, we never have had a bad meal. Definitely a spot to check out!!

Excellent food and very good service given the staff (or lack thereof). Our waiter was also the bartender. I had the pistachio chicken which was moist and delicious. My friend had a burger. Both portions were generous! read more

Good little dinner at Ravens nest. Big portion, strong cocktails and great service. We had chicken and salmon dinners that were delicious. We will return. read more

After driving past the Ravens Nest so many times and seeing it so packed, last night I decided to go in. We started with the Mussels from the specials and I had the fish and chips while my boyfriend had a scallops risotto special. All the food was delicious. Our server was attentive and had a good personality. And there were subtle Edgar Allen Poe references on the menu and in the decor. Would absolutely go back and can't wait to! read more

Noisy, noisy, good food, noisy, good service, noisy, neighborhood bar, noisy, relaxed, noisy.

I am very surprised that a place like this existed in Walpole. I'm not from the area, but stayed at my BF's family place for the week and I thought Walpole was more of like residential-ish place, like I didn't see strip malls, more of that small old town feel. When I entered this place, it was packed of a younger crowd, the vibe was great. The place was busy, place was decorated modern, and it was like in between a big establishment and a family owned. The food was the best food that I've tried my whole week visiting this area! I got the maple glazed salmon and it was delicious. It was nice and sweet and salty at the same time. The skin was all crispy (and normally I don't eat the skin!) Great amount of portions as well. I also got the lettuce wraps and it was amazing! Affordable bottle of wines too! I was very surprised of how great the food tasted. I'm sure I'll be back in the area, and if I am, I will hit up this spot every time! read more

We stopped in for a birthday lunch on a very warm day. I had a salad with grilled chicken and my wife had the sirloin tips. Both meals were excellent, and our server could not have been more accommodating. This was a pleasant experience and we will be back. read more

Positives: the atmosphere inside is cute and the waitress we had was great. The food was medicore at best. The prices are way too high for what you get. $3.50 for small kids drink on top of the already high price is a rip off. $23 for a ravioli dish that didn't even include any meat is not justified for a restaurant that overlooks a busy street. read more

Ahhh raven nest - they have the best wine pours. I can never remember how many glasses I have had because their pours are soo large. Bartenders will discourage you from buying a bottle because a "glass" is the way to go! Huge food menu, lots of options. Well priced and great walpole staple. Love the bartenders here! read more

Another delicious meal at the The Nest, have never had one that I didn't like, especially the Wok My Way and Chicken Curry Irish Style,

I have come to The Ravens Nest many times. The food is always consistent and very good. The Bartender Britney is the ABSOLUTE rudest,person I've ever met in the service industry. She's more concerned with how she looks for her particular male patrons,Fixing her hair,Refusing to wear a mask during covid. Her ABSOLUTE blatant Homophobia is on Full Display every time I have been in the restaurant. When you're in service industry you cater to All patrons You Don't pick and choose what you want to do. Standing around talking about the customer is beyond unpleasant and unprofessional on every level. I have always had great service from the other staff. I posted a review on Google, And Never got a response. Maybe someone may be listening to your patrons. read more

This is one of the best places to eat in Walpole. Thumbs up! They have the best Pistachio crusted chicken The service is good I've never had a bad dish I refer it to everyone !!! read more

Food here is always amazing. I get the Parmesan chicken with the supreme sauce on the side. The only issue I have is that they never seem to have enough waitstaff. The last time I went (July 14ish) there was ONE waitress for the whole place, inside and out! I felt bad for getting annoyed but when it takes longer to check out than to eat there's an issue. I for sure will return and I hope that they'll be properly staffed in the future! **obviously I know with the pandemic it's hard to staff but the better option would be to turn away customers and keep service running smoothly read more

Food was mediocre. I ordered chicken pot pie and it was all mashed potatoes. Very little chicken. And we we're party of 4, 3 of us got this dish. Everyone disappointed. read more

Fantastic fried chicken sandwich, and great waitstaff. Absolutely recommend!!!! Easy parking and great ambiance!

The Raven's Nest is quaint. The food is enjoyable and the service is great. Their nachos with chicken are really good. They were huge with a generous (and well spread) heap of toppings. The sweet and smoky chili was perfect, and my boyfriend really enjoyed the cilantro twist in the sour cream. The lettuce wraps are tasty. I've never seen such large lettuce leaves! Luckily the chicken and veggie filling is just as big. However, there are mushrooms. That really threw me for a gross loop since it only says veggies on the menu. The orange ginger glaze added a nice tangy taste. My boyfriend devoured his burger and fries so that should tell you how good it was! I managed to get a fry to taste and it was yummy. Crispy without being overlooked or greasy. There are separate dinner and lunch menus. They're very similar so what's the point in swapping out a few items? I would've loved to try the buffalo chicken sandwich. Also, my boyfriend was never given a drink menu and our table was wobbly. The table thing is a huge pet peeve of mine. read more
