Little Pub- Old Saybrook
Terrible service and mediocre food. The server had others deliver for her and they got the order all wrong. She was nowhere to be found for a long time. We felt like we were bothering her to ask for corrections or additional drinks. Won’t be returning .
Great brunch with unlimited mimosas or Bloody Mary’s.
We like the variety of the food & beer that Little Pub offers. The staff is very courteous & friendly.
We dined on Valentine’s Day, but that does not account for our horrible experience as the restaurant only had a few other customers seated.
Our server was very inattentive to us, did not ask us at all if we wanted drinks, let alone more drinks once we finished the ones we had.
Our orders were incorrect, with items being subbed without mentioning to us. One example- we ordered poutine and received plain French fries with no explanation. When asked what happened to the poutine the response was “we’re out of gravy” - perhaps something worth mentioning when we placed the order or when you realized it during assembling the order. This was just one example of many!!!!
Dessert time rolls around, the server brings the check without asking how our meals were or if we even wanted dessert! It was probably because they had no dessert left! They managed to find a single piece of chocolate cake for the kids luckily, but only after we asked.
Very poor dining experience and very surprising since I’ve been to the other little pubs and have loved them!
We always have a great time here but the server was overwhelmed. She had an entire room by herself on Valentine’s Day. We barely got our drinks much less refills. It was lunch no less ...
Everything was great. Service was fast and the quality of the food was great! Cant wait to go back.
Sadly my boyfriend and I did not have a good experience our first time coming here on Valentine’s Day... not sure if it was a staffing issue (being understaffed) or not prepared for the potential volume the Valentine’s Day could bring in. There was what appeared to be only one server in the dining room with no manager on the floor. We were sat and ignored for 30 MIN before getting two glasses of water. Another 10 minutes go by and we see the server greet another table that had sat down 15 minutes after us. Our reservation was at 7:00 and left at 7:45. The entire 45 minutes no came to our table. It’s very unfortunate because 1. This was our first time coming to this restaurant and 2. It was thought to be a nice Valentine’s Dinner /new experience. Easy to say we WILL NOT be coming back here.
We go to Little Pub pretty regularly. Enjoy the food & the service
Food was so good! Was near the fire. Comfy nice place. Service was perfect.
For sure going again.
We had a very nice time and our waiter was great. Always checking back with us to see if we needed anything. Highly recommend Little Pub.
From our server to the restaurant setting down to the apps & entries, was fantastic. The food was made from scratch and it was all delicious, my only suggestion (and reason why FOOD wasn’t 5 stars) was my steak tips entire. The steak was a little overdone but could’ve been looked over if there was a glaze/sauce/gravy that it was made with/came with. A gravy w the steak tips and mashed potatoes would’ve been awesome! Will still go back tho!
Fantastic spot for outdoor dining. Service was friendly but needed a little work—apps came out with our lunch. But food was tasty, so we didn’t complain.
I have been to other Little Pub locations but my first time to Old Saybrook. Food was great! Buttermilk Chicken Crunch wrap is always a favorite. Did outdoor dining just was a little chilly in November
We had a drink outside and ordered take out
Food was great outside seating very chilly no heaters and no server !
Love this place! I have been to many of their locations and they are great but the Saybrook one is my favorite. Great menu, food, and staff.
Great place cozy English style pub with 2 fireplaces
A terrific place to gather with a few family members during Covid-19. Lovely outside patio, tables well spaced, good food (lots of variety), huge portions with extremely friendly and helpful service. We look forward to coming back.
Rating would be higher if not in a pandemic. I didn't feel they were following capacity rules, tables too close together. Some servers wore masks well, some didn't. Pretzel was good.
Food was good, service was excellent. Plenty of outdoor dining although picnic table was not great but it was clean.
Made a reservation for 7:45. Found out the restaurant closes at 9:00 on Sundays and the food order must hit the kitchen before 8:00. Staff seemed more interested in cleaning up than taking care of our table but a very nice woman stepped in to take our order and make sure we were ok. Ordered steak tips which were somewhat overcooked but nicely seasoned and came with onions and mushrooms all served over garlic toast. My tablemates had a ceaser salad with blacked chicken that she enjoyed and the other had onion soup which was very thick and more like an onion stew. Overall a good experience mostly because of the staff member who did pitch in to take care of us. Will likely go back but with an earlier reservation!
Great beer, wine and drink selections. Well made cocktails. Menu with a lot of variety. Everything was very good. Friendly courteous service. Try the lobsternadas if on the menu.
Great place! It had rained and we had reserved an outdoor table and they just wiped one off for us! Great service!
The food was very very good. The beer list wasn’t up to date and when a beer was out she didn’t ask us what we wanted she just brought over a similar beer or a beer by the same company. Not a deal breaker at all. Would still highly recommend.
We sat outside and server was nice but after another person brought us our food we saw her once during the meal. We waited so long after we had finished our meal that my husband had to go inside and pay the bill.
Food was very good, great menu choices. Waitress seemed overwhelmed in the outdoor dining area. Waited a very long time for our appetizer. Other than that great place, tasty drinks too!!
Great beers and great food
Great time! Good food. Great waiter and will come back!
Great service and food!
Everything was great except for the non-stop Dave Matthews band playing. A little more variety would be awesome since it was SO quiet in there, the music seemed to be louder than usual. Not a huge deal at all really, my husband and I just can’t stand his music and it got to be a bit much. That said, it’s a stupid complaint in general and not anything crazy. The food was fantastic, service was fantastic and, as long time patrons (at all of the locations) we will of course be back soon. Especially since my husband left his debit card there 😂
We sat outside
If works great for us not having to be inside
We have no intentions of sitting inside for dining for some time and this is a great accommodation and we love the food!
Great food , service was great ! Excellent menu
Very quick service.
Very cute place to go. Our favorite we have found on this app so far
My Dad’s favorite place. So glad we could take him there. We all enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. It was perfect. Thank you!
Drink watered down- Specials good- not up to same par as previously
We had a wonderful meal. The Thai Salmon salad is a favorite. The blueberry cheesecake, not so much. On the patio was clean and quiet. Busboy not quite astute bringing food without napkins or plastic utensils. Waitress was lovely and helpful!
A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD PLACE, FUN PICKY FOODS AND GREAT DRINKS!
