Local PlungeApril 8, 2013One of the best beer lists we've seen. We LOVE the huge Flying Dog selection. Macadamia Crusted Tilapia was amazing. The location right in the heart of Nap Town can't be beat. Read more below. Read more
Derek HofferJune 23, 2017Great beer selection and half off most everything behind the bar from 4-7. 4 5oz beer flights $5 during happy hour!
Davide ZucchiniJuly 19, 2014Very nice place. They are so pet friendly that they also have a menu for dogs :)
Cole TOctober 11, 2018Solid American food in an intimate pub setting. The crab cake was actually plump and full of meat; beer list was average with some local taps. Crab soup was a little too sweet.
Kate HughesApril 24, 2013They have a doggie menu! and the food is good! Adult Mac and Cheese is a yes!
Sherri DembowskiNovember 17, 2013Cream of crab soup and crab dip were awesome. But it's only 7:30 on a Saturday night and they're out of all desserts except brownies! WTF?!?- April WinsteadDecember 5, 2011Fish tacos: super yum! Best bartenders in town: LB & GB. And ask for Shane if you're seated at a table. He's smart, cute, and an excellent server :)
Jerry HullaMarch 11, 2021Good service. COVID-19 protocols being followed. Beer selection was good, as was the food.
Sarah ViningMay 23, 2011Harvest salad with grilled chicken is to die for! Especially after a long walk. Federal House ale is a must while you're here.
Dogwood Acres Pet RetreatAugust 8, 2012Enjoy weekend brunch with your pup! Tasty food and pet friendly service with their outdoor dining!!
Jayme RayneSeptember 2, 2011The fish tacos are really good for a starter. They were three full size tacos with really fresh pico.- Karen HighlandSeptember 15, 2011The crab and mango salad is super! Lots of crab, melons cantaloupe strawberries pineapple... Yum:)
Steve QuinnDecember 3, 2011Place to go if you want to get your dance on. Griffins used to offer 22 and 12 ounce drafts. Dems were the days!
Renée GreeneNovember 17, 2011Crab soup, turkey Brie sandwich is awesome! April is a great waitress w/ personality plus!
Tracey CookFebruary 17, 2012Great happy hour! $3 off premium liquor, $2 off rail and draft beer, $1 off bottled beer!
Wonderful service. Teresa the bartender is a sweetheart.
- Jessica SmithSeptember 24, 2011Crab soup is great, but get a cup or share. It's too rich for a bowl.
- Steve QuinnDecember 3, 2011The plastic pint glasses have got to go! Never saw that when it was Griffins!
Christina LorApril 3, 2014Service is slow at best and refilling water is a remarkable act when it happens.

"Great food and friendly service. Reachable via short walk from the dingy dock just up the street. So though they are not on the water, they are reachable by boat (if you have a dingy)."
