The Harp on Church — Restaurant in Windham

We've been going here for many years, one of our favorite places locally, but last nights visit will unfortunately be the last. My husband got the fish and chips, and clam chowder, and has been sick since a couple hours after we got home! His fish wasn't even slightly brown or crispy, but he said it was hot, so thought it was safe to eat. The chowder was lukewarm, as was my Irish Stew, but I asked for it to be heated up. The stew tasted good though. I had to ask for the bread, which is supposed to be included, and sadly it looks like they don't make their own bread anymore. It was actually cold, and clearly store bought, was not the same as its been in the past. We never our got utensils, had to ask for them , and although the waitresses were very nice, the service wasn't great. I went there several months ago too, took a friend who'd never been, and I'd raved about it, but that night the food was also very mediocre, and it was a bit embarrassing as I'd talked it up so much. I really hope they can turn things around, used to be a great...

Local Chef owned and operated restaurant. Food is outstanding—everything on the menu is prepared carefully and skillfully. Best fried chicken sandwich I’ve ever had—anywhere.

Been back 4 times this month just for the chicken sandwich and pickles, simply nothing else in the region that compares. Good mix of local beers on tap. It’s got that small, family owned vibe which I dig, but the quality of the food sets it apart from everything else. Foodie level quality at local bar prices. Hidden gem in downtown Willimantic—just fantastic quality...

My wife and I went in for dinner. I got a Burger and fries which was pretty good actually. My wife got Shepards pie which came out as a pile of mashed potatoes with covered with chopped up boiled potatoes and gravy . That is not shepards pie! The beer was good. When asked if we needed anything else!, I asked for water. The waitress brought one glass. There was two of us. Then asked again if we needed any thing else, we replied no, just the check. We waited almost twenty minutes. I finally went up to the bar to pay. The place was not busy, the waitress was spending too much time chatting with friends at the bar. It's going to be a while before we go...
