The Groton Tavern Reviews

We love the burgers and the truffle fries are to die for! Great fish & chips, tacos and beer choices. I gave only 4 stars because I got a takeout taco salad and it was not as pictured on Facebook or the website and was pretty flavorless and unexciting. But they are a pub, so really I'll stick to the pub fare they do well. We have done take-out almost every week through the Covid crisis and mostly been happy. The staff is fabulous, always friendly and fast.

The food was great, but the staff was better. The Reuben is the best and the fried haddock was light and fresh.

So glad there I something open in town after 8 pm nice open atmosphere, good food - sliders are great!!

Place had great outdoor seating and wsitress was awesome

Great local pub in Groton. Great beer selection and menu as well! Great spot to relax and enjoy the day and good company.
Open lunch and dinner daily.

Excellent food. Everybody in my party of 5 loved it.

The food is regular, nothing special. The place is nice and good environment so I think this is a good place to get a drink but get dinner in somewhere else.

Great food, phenomenal service!! Great experience!! Beautifully renovation!!

One of the best places to watch a game and enjoy some fantastic food and draft beer. If you're lucky enough to have some of their smoked BBQ, you wont regret it!

Best Burger in Groton!
Also a good selection of brews to go with it!

I unfortunately was not impressed. Maybe an off night, but the food wasn't any good. The wings (ordered well done) were mushy and unappetizing. I got a salad with chicken and there were a couple tiny cubes of chicken. I took maybe three bites and wasn't even asked if there was anything wrong.

Atmosphere is small and loud.

I wouldn't go back. There are too many options to go back to a place I didn't enjoy.

Very good burger and truffle fries. Perfect for an after golf round lunch. Service was spot on as well.

Excellent food. It's evident in the food that the chef cares a lot about the quality - he even makes fresh pasta by hand! I recommend the sides, the nachos are incredible.

Very comfortable outside seating, very friendly staff, the sandwich I had was great!

Best fish and chips I've had in years!! Great service and fun atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Great new place in Groton at the Groton Country Club. Food is awesome and the pub atmosphere has lots of energy!

Tried the publick house for the first time with my wife. The steak tips and fries were really good, probably some of the best Ive had in a while. The burger was definitely decent too. A little too greasy for me though. We also got a couple mixed drinks. The mule was VERY strong. Strong enough that I drank a quarter of it and decided since I was driving I shouldnt drink anymore of it. The rumaway drink was okay, also a little strong. And it also separated within 30 seconds of arriving on the table. The wait staff was very polite, but definitely very new. It was especially evident when they couldn't pronounce 3/4 of the words on their specials menu. The waitress needs to work on being a little less blunt. All in all, definitely wasnt a horrible experience and we will be back again

Joe and Chris (owner and Executive Chef) were phenomenal with our tasting g for GPH's catering. These guys are experts and can cook! From Scallop Carbonara to truffle fries and steak tenderloin sliders, they know how to make your jaw drop. Very accommodating and a pleasure to workwith! I recommend 100%!

Small place with good beers on tap and a menu a step above what you find at most pubs/grills. Someone really cares about the food in the kitchen. Has an outdoor patio that's great during the warm weather.

New menu is too simple, too pricy.

Haven t been in 6 months, menu is now standard pub fare, yet prices are approaching those of Gibbit Hill.

Don t get me wrong, food was fine, as was the service - I just think menu had no bright interesting apps or entrees (like the great road house does) and prices are too high for what menu actually delivers.

Great place, great service and good food! Burgers and wings are my favorite. Really nice staff and welcoming people. Highly recommend!

We feel so lucky to have Groton Publick House right around the corner. You can tell these guys love what they do. Chef Joe's menu offers creative twists on classic comfort food, and Dave runs a mean bar and beer program. The pasta specials feature fresh, house-made pasta and have been excellent. Draught beer list is thoughtfully curated with New England brews. Very impressed guys; keep it comin'.

Fun, relaxing spot. Hidden gem with excellent food. Reasonable beer selection. Four big screens for game time.

Ordered to go for the first time tonight. We were tired and just didn't want to cook on a Friday night. We ordered 2 burgers and pretzel appetizer. The burgers were good, although cold, but none of the special instructions were followed. We added special instructions for BOTH burgers that were "garlic fries", we did not get garlic fries. And even though the "pretzel" appetizer was to come with "house cheddar ale sauce" on their online menu, we still requested it because this "toast alert" menu didn't specifically say it. We got pretzels with NO SAUCE AT ALL. Garlic pretzels. None of the special instructions were followed. I guess if you're going to order from this place, I'd try calling them directly vs. ordering from the online app. I would try them again, MAYBE, if I called them direct. We paid $40 for 2 burgers with fries, and the pretzel app. Would gladly pay that for a good product. This was not it.

Place had a great atmosphere and all the food was great! Good portions! I will say it is a tad more expensive than other pubs but food definitely makes up for it

We like to eat here when ever we get the chance. Good food, good service and great craft beer. We recommend the pulled pork nachos to go for your next football gathering.

Soft pretzels are stable. Nachos are definitely a shareable item loved them. The sliders are great!

Very nice place, usual comfort food made right and friendly service!
