Barstool pizza review on TikTok was an 8. The first bite was an 8, the last bite was a 4. The restaurant design is the worst of all worlds for subtle or sober social interactions. Alcohol-fueled, boisterous and red-faced bar-flies have the advantage of being able to scream directly into the ears of their friends while those in the dining area simply cannot bridge the acoustic chasm presented by the distance of a table. Quiet couples and groups did their best to pantomime while otherwise sitting isolated and silent. The pizza was fine. We had three and they are easy to share. The Caesar salad was served with that not quite wilted but 8 hours too long in the fridge romaine- you know the type where it almost looks just a bit pale, but as you bite into it, the lettuce gives can’t muster a crunch at the end of mastication way that says, “thank god you ate me before I died completely.” The wings were completely fine but the sauces and dressings are not all from scratch. The server was manic but his voice was so well supported by his diaphragm, we could make out his name. He flitted around the room screaming into retirees ears as they nodded in vague acknowledgement of the first coherent sentences they had heard since being seated. We all liked the food well enough. I’m not going back and a single bite just outside the door or take-out would have...
Read moreMy husband and I went to Jack's after reading amazing reviews and we were not disappointed. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess and seated at the bar (where we prefer to sit.) The bartender immediately came over and was wonderfully attentive. We ordered pizza and clam chowder to share before our meal. These items did not disappoint! The pizza was perfect and chowda (as Jack's refers to it) delicious! Our main courses came - scallops for my husband and the harvest salad for me - and both were very tasty! The honey lime dressing that comes with the salad I thought was an odd choice before tasting it, but see why they are paired together! As we were eating we noticed the owner Jack greeting guests, stopping and checking on tables, and assisting in bringing drinks and food to tables. Finally, we decided to squeeze in dessert, the bread pudding with salted caramel ice cream was phenomenal! We learned the owner's wife makes every bread pudding from scratch herself. I cannot say enough good things about Jack's. We will definitely be going back next time we are...
Read moreGot a bunch of food, sat outside which was great. However the salmon dish was super disappointing. It was hacked in half, like it had been thrown on the plate and broken to pieces and it was overcooked, no sign of blackening seasoning, the blackened may have been mistaken as overcooking versus blackening seasoning? The kitchen replaced the parmesan risotto with cold plain white rice, without asking or noting the change. They were out of a bunch of stuff, making ordering tricky, which is fine due to Cape Cod summer. However, this may be communicated when giving out the menu versus having ordering and then the waitress needs to come back two or three separate occasions, so you need to reorder. The fish tacos were ok, bruschetta was great, lobster bisque was cold, and the salmon was just a solid miss, we felt they were being just sneaky/ lazy with that switch, tell about being out and offer a replacement starch or offer to change the dish, risotto would be an...
