I cannot believe my experience today. I couldn't wait to get home to tell people to stay clear of this Restaurant. I went with my husband and 2, 3 year old kids. We went for a nice long family hike (longer than expected) so we were happy to get a nice meal together. We were told there were 2 parties ahead of us and 10-15 min wait, however we were waiting for about 25+ mins at the small bar area and watched 3 parties get sat. My toddlers don't know how to wait unfortunately, especially when hungry so they were a little tiresome and becoming loud. I saw two four tops ready to be sat, I went to the host and she almost didn't recognize me and apologized as she forgot about us. We weren't that upset, the children were hungry but not a big deal. We waited another 20-25 mins and no one came over, however a large waiter with a headband and bun kept walking by us, about a dozen times and didn't acknowledge us or look at us a, but she was tending to all the tables and walking past us each time. We saw a 3 top get sat and had their drink order taken a minute later- practically immediately! Now my children are starving and I went up to the host and she apologized and got my drinks right away and said she will get my order in in a minute. The waitress came over a few minutes later and gave me my beer with no response, no "Hi" or "I'm sorry about the wait" NOTHING! I thought that was so bizarre however the ginger ale kept my kids at bay and we waited a little longer. Now I noticed the new table had their order taken and everything and it's been an additional 15 mins said the waitress was no where to be found. I then went up to the hostess again and said that she still hasn't come over. She was astonished and apologized again and said she will tell her to come over. The kids at this point are losing it, we are getting upset and we see the waitress, however she walks by us AGAIN with no acknowledgement at all. I am completely dumbfounded said "Can I put our food order in?" And no joke---- She looks over at us with the ugliest, nastiest face I have ever seen and stares at me... proceeds to "grill/stare" at me, and says "I"ll be right there". At this point my husband got so upset and saw that and said we have to go. I got up and went up to the hostess AGAIN and told her she gave me a nasty attitude and I am all set. She had nothing to say but just had a blank stare. This is crazy, I have never ever EVER had been treated this way. If you have children DO NOT GO THERE, actually, maybe don't go there ever. This destroyed our Sunday, kids didn't get to eat for another hour with the driving, ordering and picking up the food for them. I cannot wait to tell all my Hingham mom friends and family about this horrible experience. NOT FAIR TO OUR...
ย ย ย Read moreThe Snug was one of the best pubs I've been to in recent memory. Me and my wife, we're in Hingham, Massachusetts, on a very short holiday. And let me tell you, this is gotta be one of the finest irish pubs, i've been to an a long time.
We were a party two, seated against the wall. When I remarked to waitress over how I love the name. Snug... she assured me it would get snugger as the night wore on. And as the night moved forward and it did. And to be blunt, I wouldn't have it any other way.
We started off with our typical drinks, ice tea for the lady, long island ice tea for me. They were perfection, of course, I grade a bar on how it does with its non alcoholic drinks and my wife ordered a second. So A+ bar. The long island was delicious, and came in a ball jar, which added style.
Moving to appetizers, we ordered an order of onion rings and an order of southern fried green beans. The onion rings were decent and stood fast by themselves, you can't get the fresh smell of fish and chips batter out of this place...But, the southern green beans opened an entire door of culinary excellence, not only was it a multi flavored fried food, but the dipping sauce was extraordinarily exceptional.
My wife being vegetarian, ordered the Greek wrap, it was of the level that she was already deciding what you would order next time. For me, I ordered the chicken pot pie. It's funny. I grade irish places on the orders of their pies, and whether they just simply have a shepherd's or whether they go all the way. In this case, I can't say they had lamb, however, they're chicken, potpie was a truly exceptional experience. With a clearly in-house made crust. That I ripped and teared when I dipped into the potpie it was so rustic, I felt at home.
I don't have photos for the dessert. Because we ordered it a la carte to go. I will say you can check my other reviews. We do a lot of Mexican spots as well. My wife being a vegetarian, she loves an exceptional churro. In this case, not only were they perfect, but they were filled with cream. Came with both caramel and chocolate sauce. It had my wife in stitches talking about. For me, I ordered their cheesecake.It also was exceptional. The snug is a local experience, something that shouldn't be taken for granted. Once in a while, people like us are allowed access. But what this really was, A who's who, a true local treasurer, the standing room only, that tourist people like us aren't normally meant to visit. I give this my highest...
ย ย ย Read moreI recently had the pleasure of dining at The Snug restaurant and was blown away by the quality of their Guinness draft pours and the excellent service.
From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly and attentive staff who were more than happy to help me find the perfect seat and get settled. The restaurant itself has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and I quickly felt at home.
As for the Guinness draft pours, they were absolutely perfect. The bartender took great care to ensure that each pour was just right, and the result was a perfectly balanced and delicious pint of Guinness.
But perhaps the best part of my experience at The Snug was the service. The staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to make sure that my dining experience was top-notch. I truly felt like a valued customer, and I will definitely be returning to The Snug in the future.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a great restaurant with fantastic Guinness draft pours and excellent service, look no further than The Snug. I highly...
