I was so looking forward to trying Poole's Public House and am so disappointed. There was no wait and the atmosphere was good. We ordered our food and waited 25 minutes without even our appetizer arriving. The server then came back and admitted that she forgot to put in our order, and also didn't remember it, so we had to repeat it. 15 minutes later, the fried pickles finally came and were honestly amazing - the highlight of the meal. When the entrees came, my side was incorrect and my wife's fried chicken was burnt in several places. The clam chowder was very good, but my fish tacos were profusely dripping with oil, so much so that oil was their only flavor. The server brought the bill and barely acknowledged us. It was a really poor experience overall and I really wish it had gone differently as I had really been looking forward to it.
Food was good. The man at the front did not greet me and I had to wander around looking for my friend. When we left no thank you for coming. Also waitress never smiled and would as if we wanted anything. As we would answer she was already turning around and walking away. Saying okay as her back was turned to us. I have not been here for a couple of years. Similar instance back then. I will not be back. Not customer service oriented at all.
Had a great breakfast. Definitely recommend the corn beef hash.
We love the food and the service is always wonderful. The names on the menu are adorable. They use the names of grand children in the family for sandwiches and what not. It's a very family oriented establishment. Prices are reasonable for the portion sizes. The decor is nice to look at and the atmosphere is very comfortable.
Cool atmosphere, good food. Beers seemed kinda pricey and there didn't seem to be a beer menu but probably a timing thing. I would definitely go back
We drove 70 miles to get there, I had looked up their menu and it said lunch at 11, lots of things looked good and we were excited to try it but... It was breakfast until noon and we don't care for breakfast so all we could get without being able to wait until noon was a cup of soup. I was so disappointed ☹️We will go again some afternoon when we are in that neck of the woods
The food was GREAT! Honestly. Pleasant eating experience all around. The wait was not long, and the atmosphere was perfect. The wait staff wasn't especially attentive, but there were only two servers and it was a bit packed so I don't blame them. Not sure if it was a particularly busy time, or if they could maybe use a few more hand on deck, but either way I definitely won't let it deter me. I'd recommend this location to friends and will be returning.
We love going to Poole's! We've been 4 times I'm the last 2 months. We went for breakfast it was great, Chicken Fried Steak was super good. Lunch and dinner French dip was amazing and the Rubin was spot on! My husband loved the crab grilled cheese Sami. We had to wait a bit but there was a game on (it's a sports bar) it was busy, but it wasn't too long of a wait. Definitely the place to go for good food and good atmosphere!
The food was great and everything was on time, but our server was not very personable. I’ve been in the service industry and understand there are bad days so I’m sure it isn’t a regular attitude for her. We had just been shown to our table by the host and hadn’t sat down yet when she asked what we’re drinking. Throughout the meal she was monotone and seemed annoyed. We will still come back again.
If you like pub food and great drink options then Pooles is definitely the place to go. The chicken fried steak and potatoes is amazing.
