Three of us shared the nachos (delicious) and large seafood platter and had leftover for another plate! Great service too!

50/50 when it comes to the types of food someone's awesome and some was well not gross or bad but I've definitely have better.. as for the waitress she was awesome and friendly when we first met her really checked on us very well for the first I don't know 10 20 minutes but after that she was horrible it was hard to reach her for anything napkins and extra knife when you drop it a new drink never mind when it was time to get the bill I feel like we waited an hour and the price is well they weren't great but they weren't horrible either

Very clean tavern, having Keno is a big plus for us! Definitely under staffed, BUT the bartender/waitress/hostess was excellent for everything she had to do and yes she had a full bar not a complaint to be heard or sad about the service! My problem was(and please I am not a cheap person by no means)the prices were so high to me fried haddock w/French fries which I consider fish and chips but $25's, I've had it at many seafood restaurants that were more conservative and paid less. A cheeseburger w/French fries $16's one more example grill chicken sandwich with French fries $18's oh and something

Dropped in here on a whim - atmosphere, food, and service has been awesome! Got some jalapeño poppers and wings and both were great! I’ll be back if I’m able while in the area

There are allot of positives. The food tasted good, the service was good.
My issues is that the food costs WAY more than it should. A burger there costs $17 that should cost 9-12. The atmosphere is not bad, but not a quality where food can cost what it does.

We went for dinner on Sunday night. The hostess was very friendly. I am a vegetarian so I ordered a Caesar wrap with no chicken. It was HUGE and delicious. You could tell they tossed the dressing before wrapping it, and the cheese inside was high quality. I got spinach rice pilaf for the side and it was very good. My boyfriend got a burger and onion rings and he said they were great.
All in all, glad we stopped in and we'll be back :) Loved the relaxed, homey atmosphere.

Good food and service. I had fish chowder for a quick warm up, marinated steak tips, well done, with rice pilaf and squash as sides. Chocolate Lava cake for dessert. Restaurant has a 🏧 and atmosphere that you would see the crews from"Deadliest Catch" hang out at. ( The crews behaved themselves while being filmed in restaurants.) This restaurant is family friendly and has WiFi. Bathroom was in decent shape, just looks old.
Only issues, you may not want to order meat "well done". But, the meat was not tough or chewy. I could taste the marinade. Fish chowder could have had more fish, but, I showed

Wow is all I can say. We eat out frequently and drive by this place all the time. We decided to give it a try. The food was delicious!! Seafood was so fresh and not overly breaded. Prime rib that was so flavorful. We will be coming back a lot! A true gem on the seacoast. Everyone should try this place! And if you like onion rings...mic drop! They are the best I've ever had!

My husband and I split the Capt. Platter and it was huge. Lots of fried clams and two large pieces of haddock. Not too much fried shrimp and scallops. Place was OK inside, our server was not the greatest, but nice. I did find the food over priced in general, $15 for a burger at a bar is rather high. The platter we got was $30 and that was fair, considering the size. We even had leftovers.

We received a gift card for here for xmas and it was so worth the trip! Our waitress, Amanda was excellent and very upbeat! My husband ordered the New Yorker steak and Amanda mentioned it would be a while for the steak go be ready, we were fine with that. Because it was the most delicious steak he had ever had. Perfectly cooked and ginormous! Close to 30 oz ! I had the fried haddock and it was amazing!

A great experience and great atmosphere!

First experience... i give it a 3.75. My bf and i have tried coming here a couple of times in the past. The first time, we walked in and were told they were closing. Early, apparently, due to the slow business. I get it, but not professional. The second, was a Monday. Unaware it was the one day of the week they are closed. My own fault.
So, today was a win.
I have been craving burgers for a couple of days, which is SOOO NOT me. I hate burgers. It's right down the street from my house, so why not?...
Upon entering i noticed it was a bit dark. But not *in the dark* We started by

We went to the All American Tavern after hearing from friends how yummy the Seafood Platter was. Once we walked in the door, the old smell of dirty carpeting hit me and I gagged. This place is gross, in dire need of serious updating.

We had our grandchildren with us, they ordered off of the kids menu and my husband and I, at our servers suggestion, decided to split the Seafood Platter. The food was good, not great. The clams were very good until I got one with sand, then I was done.

I took my granddaughter to the ladies room and it was filthy. The floor was disgusting. Even my 6 yr old

Step inside and you immediately realize,
yes,it's a tavern. Cross mix of folks friendly
Staff. Ordered the steamers,they were
Fantastic. Thought about the fried clams
which were ginormous! We settled on the seared scallops entree which we split
It was excellent. I can imagine how much more one would pay for this meal on the other side of the bridge. If you want seafood, in an unpretentious place
well this is it.

I love the All American Tavern - and using a groupon makes for a very reasonable dinner. their Cobb Salad is the BEST and is definitely
enough to share as an entree. Wonderful!

This was one of the places that we were eh..... But we needed a place to have dinner and didn't want to keep driving around for a place to eat, so we stopped here, first of all we walked in and thought we were crazing a party b cause of the Dj booth calling out names and riddles,lol. The sign read "please wait to be seated" so we waited and waited for a good 8 minutes until someone at the bar a customer shouted out to us and stated you can sit anywhere is clean, we are like okay thanks these people were drank and anyways. There was one waitress for the entire joint and I didn
