Brandon's Pub + Grille — Restaurant in Town of Sterling

We only get to go here once a year when in town visiting so factor that into this. In 2017 when we were here it was a very nice place filled with people and alive with entertainment and laughter. This year(2018) when we went was the opposite. We were so pleased in finding a nice place to enjoy a good meal that seemed like a local hangout. Again, we have only been twice but the difference from one year to the next was drastic. This year the service was horrible to start. We were able to read the whole menu, I mean every item on the thing, before we even got asked what we wanted to drink. It wasn't just us either. We were seated outside and another family that came before us was still waiting and another small group just there for beer and live music kept getting pestered every 5-10 minutes being asked if they wanted their check. The servers clearly wanted them to leave but they weren't being loud or rude at all as far as I could tell. Next, when we finally get food which was a salad, it had obviously been left out or was old as evidence by the wilted and browning leaves mixed through it. These were not eaten. After that was appetizers. I ordered wings and was shorted on my order and my wife ordered the calamari which was too greasy to eat. Lastly we have our main course that came out very late. I got a Reuben that was out together with tough meat that couldn't be easily bitten through so the whole piece of meat came out with the first bite. My wife had the "riggies" which ended up being overwhelmingly spicy to the point that it wasn't enjoyable to eat even though she eats spicy food all the time. The kicker is that it wasn't busy at all and there was no reason for the service and food to be the way it was. We asked to be moved inside after our appetizers came out due to a mass gathering of flies feasting on something next to the outside tables and we were tired of them being drawn in and landing on us and our food.

We won't be going back next year after this time unfortunately. It ruined the experience for us to the point that we will find another...

It was an absolute fluke that brought us here. We came to Fairhaven to visit Colloca Winery. We had a reservation at another restaurant in town. They cancelled on us as they were short staffed. Dumb luck brought us to Brandon's Pub and Grill. We are so glad it happened as we were truly pleased.

We found the staff to be welcoming; both the bartender who sat us and our waitress were friendly.

I ordered the Pub Riggies entree, it came with soup or salad. I chose the soup. The soup was a deconstructed stuffed pepper soup-it was A-MAZING! I've never had that kind of soup before and now it might be my new favorite! So flavorful and delicious. The chicken riggies did not disappoint. The entree was quite a generous portion and included garlic bread. Again, the dish was full of flavor, well-excuted and delicious.

My husband ordered the Tuscan Chicken and raved about both the soup and his entree. Our friends also enjoyed their dishes: Ruben and Chicken Riggies.

We will definitely be back the next time we visit Fairhaven. Whoever is chef is the cooking there is creative and top notch. Bravo to Brandon's Pub + Grille. What a gem of a place. We are so grateful we...

The atmosphere is of a cozy country pub! It seems to definitely be the favorite watering hole for the locals as the bar seemed very busy. I took my son and his girlfriend for a pre fathers day celebratory dinner. The food did NOT disappoint on this very special occasion. My son had the cheese-steak marinated in Guiness beer! Because it was Friday the special was Haddock fish filet. My son's girlfriend chose the beer battered deep fried version. Hmmmm I think I see a theme happen'n here! There were other "healthier" prepared options as well.... such as broiled. For myself I had the Iceburg wedge salad, it was surrounded on the side by pitted kalamata olives, real bacon pieces not bits, sliced pickled banana peppers, freshly diced scallions, all was topped with blue cheese dressing and a balsamic vinaigrette drizzled artfully trough the blue cheese! The presentation was a work of art (see pic) I almost couldn't bring myself to eat it! Almost that is....it was delicious! Hey...
