I chose it because in my Google search it was said «live music and good quality of food”. So do not expect any of this! Waitresses are careless, food is ok, no live music. So I was a quite disappointed to dine in there. All tables around have been repeatedly asking for their food. Is this a service to be? As for the food, they do not care and bring a meal when it’s ready, not all together. So, for the group party you can expect two have a meal, the rest being waiting a while. Why??? The Protein bowl is a disaster: it they didn’t ask for a side option, brought in their choice. The steak was not chewable!!! Horrible! For the wings, not asked for the side sauce. Was given 3 cheese. Why??? The waitress never asked if we like the meal for the full night. I would never come back! Horrible service and food!

Instagram ID: @anjav3 Food/Drinks: - Shepard’s pie didn’t taste fresh. The beef was dry and not good quality -Philly steak sandwich tasted good even though the meat was not good quality. Portion was decent sized - Fries weren’t crispy or crunchy. They tasted old and soggy. And the gravy didn’t taste fresh or homemade. -Beer was great! Other comments: - I don’t think we will be back again. The food is great for a student who hasn’t had a home cooked meal in a year. - Biggest tap selection in the area - Very friendly server - Seated quickly during dinner hours (6pm) - Convenient location with lots of parking - Big menu, lots of selection - Rustic restaurant, they kept much of the old structure and atmosphere Instagram ID: @anjav3 Anja Vojinovic

We haven't been to The Shakespear Arms in quite some time, but the wife and I thought we'd dine here recently. The atmosphere is great, warm and cozy and you really do feel like you're in a rustic tavern. Pretty neat. Everything about our evening was great. Only minor complaint is that it took some time for the waitress to greet us and take our drinks orders. The food quality and portions were good. We found the calamari to be a little too crispy, but maybe that's the style here. Jambalaya and Chicken Wrap were great. We'll come back next time when there's Live music.
