Pine Brook Pub - Boards, Bites, & Brews — Restaurant in Adams

My wife and I stumbled upon this wonderful pub out of pure luck. While the outside may look a little unassuming, it hides quite the treasure within.

Atmosphere: The inside houses wonderful artwork on the walls, some televisions (at the time they were displaying peaceful nature programs, mostly focusing on birds), very relaxed lighting, and some serene ceiling lights illuminating two forested canopies - a really cool touch. They also had some great music playing - neither too soft nor too loud. The most interesting and impressive part though, was the wall of various games. Board games, card games, and everything in-between. There are games of varying styles, so that if someone was looking for a classic from years ago or something on the newer side, they have something for everyone. The games are even labeled with stickers to create a system to help recommend games based on ages and complexity.

Service: The service was incredible, with everyone being attentive and friendly. Over the course of taking orders, getting drinks, getting refills, having food ordered, and getting bags to bring food home, we were served by at least four people: all of them were incredibly nice and socialable. The owner herself was the one who originally took our order and she was welcoming, informative, and proud of her staff. Every request was met with a smile, including some customization of an order.

Food: Everything was made with love and care, and it was all home-made. Fried pickles - delicious, with a great fried exterior with the perfect balance of consistency inside. Curry and sweet potato soup - not something I knew I needed in my life. It was entirely unique and delectable. It had a great balance of heat, so if you like some curry flavor, this will hit on all cylinders. If you don't normally handle curry heat, I suggest getting some bread on the side. Salad - well-balanced, fresh, well-portioned, and it comes with their own dressing. Chicken parm (a special - may not always be available) - my wife and I are very particular about our chicken parm and this certainly met that standard. The pasta was al dente and the chicken was crispy on the outside and soft in the center. Everything tasted fresh and, again, delectable. The garlic bread on the side was so good my wife didn't want to share any with me. BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich - some places smother their pulled pork in too much sauce, but they found the right balance here, with the slaw and bun, the portions were perfect. Oh, and the fries that came on the side? So crispy and delicious, with a home-made honey mustard that I would buy bottles of. Drinks - a great selection. My ONLY complaint would be that the ice to tea ratio leaned a little too heavily towards the ice.

Our visit was certainly one to remember and, if we are in the area again, we will be...

I am SO glad we went to this restaurant! The food was fantastic! Cottage pie was awesome! Maple glazed salmon was enjoyed by husband! Pull pork barbecue sandwich with sweet potato fries was loved by daughter! Soups, salads, and appy were delicious!

Noticed that they had keto options on the menu too!

Great brew selections!

Atmosphere was really family friendly with a peg games on the tables and a corner with just about every board game you could think of! You can go and play games and order food or just play game (with a very reasonable table rental fee).

Also, they have about a dozen flavors of gelato. It was delicious!

Oh and the music play list had something for everyone from Louis Armstrong to Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Prices were very reasonable.

I wish Pine Brook Pub was in my town! We found it while visiting daughter at college.

Looking forward to going back! Open Thursday - Saturday nights...

10:10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND. This is such an underutilized space in our community! The owners are so welcoming and the food is fantastic. You can bring your own games (MTG! Or the like), or chose from their wide variety of inhouse boardgames. They don't rush you and you can just enjoy your time with friends and family. More people should be talking about this place. It's a great spot to bring your kids for some one on one time. Or to bring a group of friends. And don't even get me started on the food! Everything was so good I couldn't even get a picture because we polished it off. Did I mention they also...
