    I was on a family trip, and we decided to stop by this restaurant to check out the place and the food. This restaurant is located in a small town with not many options to choose from. The food was ok, passable but not great. Typical pub food, and as it was busy, we had to wait for our food, some of us even wait longer than others. Service was friendly and welcoming. Prices are very reasonable. We ordered crispy calamari, salads, burgers, chicken sandwiches, a pizza, and steak. The salads, burgers, and sandwiches were good, and the French fries that came with the last two were really good. The crispy calamari came last after we almost finished all our food. The pizza was terrible though. It tasted more like sweet bread than actual pizza. Terrible! And the steak was dry and not good. Overall, the service was the only outstanding thing.

    The staff was friendly and accommodating. The food was good and served quickly, and the drinks were great. The calamari was chewy and scarce, hence only 4 stars, but we'll be back.

    What a great place in a beautiful town. Right next to the church. The calamari was digits l delicious. The teriyaki bowl was really good. They have several varieties of craft and draft beer. Our server, Mary D, was very attentive and friendly.

    We were in a very large group and reserved ahead of time. The waiter was extremely nice but the kitchen staff was obviously overwhelmed as food for some of our party came out 15 minutes before the last of our party which made for a really awkward dining experience. I thought the food was decent but I barely made it to a bathroom before all the food went right through me.

    This was the worst experience I have had in a restaurant. The server never checked on us, the food was awful and when we were able to speak to the owners about our experience they dismissed our concerns and told us to leave. The owner having followed us out of the restaurant was very confrontational and yelled out I was a tough guy. I have a hard time believing someone with this attitude and temper can stay in the service industry. There are many other places I can enjoy a good meal with great service. I would recommend eating elsewhere

    The quality of the food is very dependent on what chef is in the kitchen for that night. The Serivce was great. I thought the atmopshere is not very aligning with their name, but fine.

    Great place for lunch and for grabbing a beer with friends. The pub Burger was perfectly cooked and house sauce was very good. The onion rings had great crust and texture. Service is friendly and welcoming.

    While visiting the Church and Mother Teresa Museum, we stopped by to have a drink and snack. The caprese salad, Bavarian pretzel and nachos with beef were very good. Just what we needed after visiting the sites in the town. Our waitress was very friendly. Great atmosphere. A good place for a meal or snack when visiting Ave Maria

    We are in Ave Maria a few days a week. We enjoyed going to the pub for a drink at the very least. Several months ago the service was a little slow but still good. Our last few visits were not great. I would sit at the bar and it would be 5-10 minutes before I could flag someone down to take my order. Several bussers walked past with no acknowledgement and no bar tender in sight. That happened twice in a row. The last time we sat outside. We were the only table. A busser stuck his head out the door a few times but said nothing. Finally we ordered drinks. After 20 minutes and still nothing (one wine and one water) we got up and left. We made it to the corner before the server came out yelling "Don't you want your drinks?" I have always worked in the service industry and usually quite patient and forgiving. Seeing several employees, standing around talking while the restaurant is not busy, and you can't even get an "I'll be with you in a minute" is extremely frustrating. Sorry to say, we will not be returning to the pub.

    Usually good service. Excellent selection of craft beers. Sometimes food is hit and miss versus great. Like lunch today. Sad plate of chicken fingers but awesome boneless habanero wings.

    Take-out services is horrible. This is the third time that I had to wait an additional 30 minutes for my food. An hour and 20 minutes Total from when I placed the order online to when they handed me my pizza. I honestly think that they start making the food once you get there. Best to order from Roma Pizza. Quicker service and taste better.

    Perfect place for good food and better service. Our server Lexi was excellent and took great care of us. The entire serving staff helps out. Great team work. It is refreshing to have such a friendly staff serve you. Thank you all! Oh the good is pretty good too! Cheers

    We have been to this establishment a total of 3 times. Our first experience we ordered pick up which we ordered one burger and one chicken sandwich. We got the total opposite of what we ordered as far as the toppings of each sandwich. Our second experience was pleasurable and our order was perfect. This visit was our first time dinning inside. Our third was today on New Years Eve. Much to our surprise it was not to busy nor crowded. However both of our orders were incorrect, the burger had no flavor nor did the tomato, we asked for pickles to be added and they were not, the bun was so stale it crumbled while eating it, my wife’s sandwich was wrong, we had to ask for silverware and napkins. This was very unfortunate because we truly wanted to like this place hence giving it three chances. Each time we asked our server about the items prior to ordering it and it appears that someone needs to check the quality of the food being that both times we asked how the burgers were the first time we were told they were good the third visit we were told they were phenomenal and coming from someone who a avid burger connoisseur there is nothing phenomenal about this burger.

    Good variety of meals and beer. You can dine in and out. There is plenty of parking behind the building. Service is terrible. it takes a long time to get the order and seating host, not experience. We like the pizza to go, and note that the pizza bogos in the picture is no longer available.

    My husband and I enjoyed many meals here in February! The food was delicious and the servers were so kind. I especially enjoyed the pancakes with fresh blueberries for breakfast and my husband loved the hamburger for dinner.

  • 1/5 Deana T. 10 months ago on Google
    There were so many flies one actually fell inside my $9 drink which I had to waste. The attitude from the server towards that situation was not acceptable. Also, we had to keep covering our pizzas with napkins so the flies wouldn’t land on them. We were a group trying to have a good time together but the flies were so many.

    Went for a quick Monday night dinner turned into the most awful experience. Restaurant seemed a little smokey only it kept getting worse. Took over 20 minutes to get drinks then we finally get appetizer that was good the pulled pork nachos. The service was terrible had to ask for refills of our empty glasses. Salad came out with brown lettuce. My husband’s entree comes out patty melt, he asked for mushrooms ( no mushrooms). I ordered a pizza, 20 minutes passes my husband is finished eating. I still have no food after an hour. This is the worst place, the manager never came out. The server is trying to tell me the pizza will be right out, he had been saying this for the last 15 minutes. I will never eat here again.

  • 4/5 Mary K. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was great, maybe a tad pricy but expected for area. The chicken tenders you can tell are hand breaded not from a pre-made box. The breeding has good flavor and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The sandwich I had was very good fresh shaved turkey. I gave it a 4 because I was expected Irish food at a pub and they really didn't have any traditional dishes.

  • 5/5 adelaida a. 1 year ago on Google
    We picked Pub &Grill because i was hosting the International all female ride day 2022. Remind you it was 10 of us riding sportsbikes from Miami. To have lunch and enjoy the ride.When i tell you i was so happy we chose them for lunch every single plate i saw coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. I can honestly say the food the ambitious goes beyond 5 star,and the best thing of all they are biker friendly i highly recommend this restaurant will definitely return. Thank you for the great service and food 😀

    Stopped in late yesterday for a quick bite to eat after golf. Took a while for a server to greet us, but, we understand there are staff shortages everywhere. The server was extremely apologetic and we appreciated his candor. The pizza we ordered was cooked to perfection and delicious. This is our 3rd visit and definitely not our last!

  • 4/5 Timothy G. 1 year ago on Google
    Very different feeling here, as all the staff was younger then normal, good food, not much choices, full bar. Great home town feel place to eat at.

  • 5/5 Ken B. 1 year ago on Google
    I have eaten many times at the Pub and with one exception have always been very pleased with the service. I always enjoy the food. I appreciate that they are in Ave Maria. I had carry out today and my Ave Maria salad with salmon was so good. They make a very tasty burger that is cooked “pink” and juicy. I usually have the roasted red skin potatoes in place of fries. The mango cake is fresh, moist and delicious. Every appetizer or entree that I have tried has always been good.

    All 4 friends and I were in town for the Rockabilique event, was quite surprised to find this joint. Sufficient amount of food and good price. Thanks so much.

👍👍 I sat outside, got to pet someone's dog. Waitress was very nice and friendly. I had a ham and egg sandwich and potatoes. Very good. Fast service. Parked on the street around the corner.

😐 The food is very good at Rusty Putter but I was surprised to see an automatic 20 percent gratuity added to my lunch bill. I was only dining by myself. Together with the always high Florida dining tax - this inflates the overall bill unnecessarily. I didn’t see any notice posted that all bills ge...
