Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the ribs combo as the standout, calling it perfectly cooked and worth every penny, with several also praising the roast beef Sunday dinner for its presentation and generous portions. The half chicken and the deaperados burger are also named, the latter cited in a sharply negative account that describes a hard patty, soggy chips, a dirty table, flies, and a foul-smelling toilet. Under new management, multiple reviewers note a cleaner, more welcoming atmosphere and friendly service, though one group on a cold day found the eating area unheated. Several highlight the pub’s community events, including a foam party that brought families together. A few return for the affordable prices and quality, while one diner reports excellent food alongside a pleasant server.
