Nice spot to grab a beer and some pub food. They have a big bar area where you can watch the game…read moreand cozy booths to the side and back. There's a good selection of European style beers on tap and they have a cocktail menu as well. Service is friendly and quick. We had wings and fish and chips. The fish and chips was a massive portion of beer battered fish and a huge mound of fries with a side of slaw. While the fish was flaky and fresh the fries were not very crispy which was a disappointment. The garlic parmesan wings were delicious and came with nuggets of fried garlic. They have live music in tent outside during the warmer months as well as outdoor seating for those blissful summer days.

New menu item alert!…read more New season, new menu. The Rathskeller put a shio pork ramen on the menu. Now, it's sort of confusing, in that by the name, I was thinking it's a shio broth. The item description says it has a miso broth. When it came out, I tasted no miso, and it wasn't cloudy in the least, as I'd expect with a miso broth. It tastes like a shio broth, so the name does not lie. Anyway, it is very very good. It comes with 2 slices of chashu pork that just melt in your mouth. This is a lovely dish and perfect for cold nights. Also, the night I went, the creme brulee of the day was butterscotch. And I'm a sugar fiend, so I absolutely loved it. Cut it with a bit of coffee, if you're not as much into sweets. The sugar crust was just a bit thicker than you'd normally get (but, I actually like that...I actually find the "proper" creme brulee crust is too thin), and it was perfectly creamy and smooth underneath. It was a great dessert to close the meal.

This is a diner, with diner atmosphere. What that entails is that you can expect a warm greeting…read morewith staff who are happy to have you here, along with feel-good comfort food. I got the succotash soup, and the fish and chips. The succotash soup was in a light broth with lots of kale. This really let the sweetness of the squash shine. It's not a hearty soup by any means, but it is super satisfying. I ordered a cup, and at the end of the cup, I wished I had ordered a bowl. The fish and chips... price vs portion size, it's fair.........which means I personally wish I ordered two plates of it. I'll be honest, I have no idea how they pulled this off, but the breading on the fish didn't fall apart, it wasn't greasy, and it was crispy, flavorful, yet, it didn't mask the delicate flavor of a white fish. It's the type of fish and chips that you find yourself eating without slathering tartar sauce all over it. The small portion of cole slaw also left me wanting more of it. There's a slight sweet and tang to it, and the veggies in it are crisp and fresh. Overall, I feel like this is a diner+. Like, this is what a diner becomes when it grows up. Fair prices, friendly staff, unpretentious, clean, welcoming, and most importantly (to me, at least), great food.

What can I say? 2023 James Beard Award - first indigenous chef, only the third in RI history, and…read morea woman. Kudos!! We dined on Friday two days after the award was announced. We got there before 5 PM when they opened (no reservations) and the line was 25+ strong. We made the first seating with some folks dining on the overflow picnic tables outside (they seat about 36 inside). Forgot to thoroughly read the website and we were the only ones not with a bottle (BYOB at $5/bottle). So, one of us ran off to Charlestown Wine & Spirits for wine. The downside is that it took 2 hours to get our appetizers and 3 hours to finish our meal (we did not order any desserts). Most people took it in stride but a few diners were verbally "pissed". Why I think this happened. The have a server and a "bus boy" (the latter his first day) - probably enough staff for that. But the cooking was overwhelmed - unfortunately, the award winner Chef Sherry Pocknett is battling breast cancer and the cooking is being handled by her two daughters. So, I assume understaffed. Also, everyone arrived at the same time. The good news. The food is great! The chicken wings, pulled pork on fry bread, "3 Sisters rice", mac and cheese, ribeye, and venison were outstanding. And large portions. One flaw was mashed potatoes came out warm at best. We'll be back - despite a 1-hour drive each way - to try out their breakfast or lunch offerings. Finally, they are trying to do too much. A large menu followed by daily specials plus additions on the chalkboard. And some days doing 3 meals. Trim back significantly and hopefully the dining times will become manageable. Damages with tip for 3 was $140.

This was my first time to The Haversham since the change of ownership. If no one told me it was…read moreunder new management, I wouldn't have known - until the menu arrived. Also, there is some additional seating (booths) available in the bar area. Still classic bar-style / feel good foods available. I had the Philly Steak sandwich with waffle fries. It was a great choice. Our other dining partner had the Fish and Chips and it was gone before i could ask how it was. Another had a burger which was ordered as medium rare but came out medium (hence the 4 stars vs 5). We did not return it as the difference was subtle. The waiter did ask how our food was and we opted not to mention it. Overall, the portions were average, the prices were very good, the quality (taste) was also very good. What I loved the most was that although the place was packed, the acoustics were exceptional. We sat in the bar area and there was no need to lean in to converse. No shouting. Just your natural voice level was enough. To me - that's a huge win!

I had high hopes for the new Haversham as they are under new management by the folks that own…read moreMaria's at the beach which I love. I was disappointed. We got take out which automatically lowers expectations but of 5 orders, we were missing 4 sides: 2 Cole slaw, 1 fries, and a Caesar salad. Pretty disappointing. Additionally, literally everything was oversalted, per everyone's taste buds. We ordered 2 cold and 1 hot lobster rolls, 1 stuffed shrimp, 1 pork cutlet, and 1 lobster bisque. The buns for the lobster rolls were nice but not grilled. The pork cutlet was covered with hot peppers, advertised for sure as cherry peppers, but if you don't like very spicey, avoid this entree. The Haversham has a good bar scene and may have good bar food but entrees are priced on the higher side and they need to get the salt and service issues under control!
