  • We went early Saturday evening. We were seated immediately, and our drinks were served quickly. A few minutes later we were asked to move to accommodate a large party. It went down hill from there. We waited 45 minutes for Steamers. When they arrived we were terribly disappointed. The best thing that could be said about them is that they were relatively sand free. They were over done and rubbery. Mid way through the Steamers our Burgers arrived. Both were improperly cooked, and by the time we got to them my wife's fries were cold and my onion rings the same. We eventually caught a server for a second drink. That dificult chore took almost 10 minutes. We asked for a check. It was promptly delivered, however, it took an inordinate amount of time for the server to return the card. There are no circumstances under which we would visit this dive again, and candidly our first experience in trying a ddd listed restauant has discouraged us from trying others. by Gail549 Sun 08/12/2012 12:00 AM Joined Aug 2012 1 Posts 1 Restaurant Visits
  • The concesus is the service sucked the price is too high and the joint is a dump. All is correct but keep in mind its a dive bar not a first class eatery. The New England peronality is very standoffish to begin with. With that said, the place is not really Triple D worthy and to date it is the second from the bottom of my list making the Magnolia Inn in Austin TX the number one worst TV food joint. The duck was less than I expected but the burger was decent. The onion rings were very good and they had escargot which was pretty good for a dive bar on a barge under the freeway overpass. I will not go back but I can add it to my list. On to the next place. You wont be missing much if you decide not to visit this place. If you do go be prepared to wait for a table since they only have 10 and the bar is packed so good luck getting a seat there. The menu is lackluster so dont plan on having somthing special. The parking lot is crazy dont try the commuter lot just park by the tackel shop on the other side of the lot. My pesonal advise is stay on 95, and pass this place at 75 MPH!

  • The service was beyond awful and I agree with the above person who said there waitress was a bit@%.... It felt as if we were a waste of time. they never once came to check on his and when they brought the food....it was literally dropped in front of us. we never received silverware for our appetizers and had to flag down another waitress for siverware after array food was served. I can't believe DDD would ever recommend such a terrible place. the food was mediocor however the service made the whole evening just terrible. I would never recommend that place to anyone. It was a waste of time and money. by taneshad9 Sat 03/10/2012 12:00 AM Joined Mar 2012 2 Posts 2 Restaurant Visits
  • We went last fall.. The hamburger was good, but not worth the price $11.00, plus you had to pay extra for fries!!!! The service wasn't bad by margaret_c_11106 Tue 02/07/2012 12:00 AM Joined Feb 2012 2 Posts 1 Restaurant Visits
  • The service was terrible, the steamers were the worst I've ever had, the burgers would come out better on a George Foreman grill, and the waitress was a bitch. No one even asked how our food was! What a waste of time! by Mel Sun 10/23/2011 12:00 AM Joined Oct 2011 1 Posts 1 Restaurant Visits

    Guy Fieri enjoyed some classic American cuisine at this pub located on a beached barge. We recommend the wings and the steak au poivre.

    Service was bad forgot one of our meals. Very loud but it was 7pm sat night. Food was pretty good but charging $20 for steamers a bit outrageous!
