Anchor Ale House — Restaurant in Falmouth

We stopped here for supper because we had our dog with us and were glad to find a place with outdoor dining. The area was littered with cigarette butts, wrappers and lo and behold, a dead mouse under our table! We told our waiter about it and he did nothing; didn't even apologize. We hadn't eaten in 10 hours so we ordered food - pulled pork and chicken sandwiches and a cider and a beer. My cider had solid clumps in the bottom; it was months past its "sell by" date. So we're waiting for our food when our dog looks up and appears to have a little stick in his mouth. I start to grab it and realize that it's the mouse's TAIL!! I grab my napkin and struggle to remove this gross decaying creature from my dog's mouth and yell at the waiter, "Get me more napkins!" He tosses some to me and I grab the mouse, flinging it against the restaurant wall, run into the rest room where I triple scrub my hands. OMG. Then the food comes and it's delicious but I kept thinking about the utterly gross experience. They didn't even comp our drinks or offer an apology. Please stay away...

This place shouldn't even get 1 star. The service was slow & sloppy. The waitress was busy talking with her friends. The food was decent. However we waited so long for the waitress to come over for our desert order, we decided to take desert home & get the check so we could get out of there. She couldn't find the cook to cut us 2 pieces of cake, which I thought the waitress did, so we just wanted the check. We were waiting at the bar for the check & it was wrong. No itemized check, just numbers added together & they were wrong. I guess that's why the cook has to cut desert because he can't trust the waitress, he's afraid she'll steal some for herself. By time we finally got the check straightened out, ( after numerous explanations from the waitress) we were ready to scream. She charged the original check to our card before we even looked at it. She supposedly credited it but couldn't give me a credit receipt. This is a shady establishment, watch everything they put on your check because they're ripping people off. We will NEVER go...

My husband and I decided to try this place on a whim. I wish we'd driven by. I got a bowl of clam chowder and it was bad. I should've known it'd turned because it smelled like fish. My husband got prime rib. Ordered medium, got medium rare. It was a decent cut and it did taste good. I'm giving 3 stars for the prime rib only. Otherwise, I'd be leaving no stars. I could see the kitchen from my seat and a stack of clean plates had food on them as if something had splattered on them. Server dropped off our food and only came back to drop off the bill. It wasn't busy. Our server spent most of her time hugging the guys at the bar and hanging out with them like it was a family reunion. We'll...
