Armsby Abbey

This a quaint little place . It sounded like you can make reservations but we were walk in on a Tuesday night. It was busy enough that the only seating left was side by Side at a community table. Menu has many options without being overwhelming. Some of the sauces are lacking a little flavor, and I was a little disappointed by the size of the double patty burger but over all it was good food. The prices made sense and the portions were pretty close to what I’d expect. This is a great spot for date night, meeting family or friends. I wouldn’t recommend for children though. Staff was friendly and mostly attentive. We did have to wait about 45m to 1hr for our food and the waitress took about 40 min to tell us it would be a few more minutes that ended up being about 10 more minutes. I might consider visiting again during a less busy time.

5 Stars! I cannot say enough good things about the experience! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome — they were warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure every guest had a wonderful time. You could tell they loved what they do, and it made the atmosphere feel even more inviting. Now, let’s talk about the food — unbelievable. Every dish was crafted with such care and attention to flavor that you could taste the passion behind it. Everything was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. But the true highlight for me was the waffle I ordered. It was pure perfection — golden on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside, with just the right amount of crispiness. Every bite was a little piece of heaven! Whether you like your waffles simple or loaded with toppings, they’ve absolutely mastered the art of it. If you’re thinking about visiting, do yourself a favor and GO. Between the incredible staff, the top-tier food, and that unforgettable waffle, it’s the kind of place that leaves you planning your next visit before you even leave.

We’ve been in this place twice and every time gets satisfied with the food and service. Their Smashed burgers are the best and highly recommended!

The vibes here are great. The food, not so much. Went around 8pm on Wednesday. Got their wings, brussel sprouts and bread for appetizers. Wings were bland. Brussel sprouts were good. Bread was pretty good. For meal, got their muhammara and burger. Muhammara sandwich was disappointing. Lacking in flavor and bread to other ingredients ratio was bad. Too much bread. For drinks, got pennecillin, grapefruit cocktail. They tasted good but are very watered down. Not hard enough. Quite expensive for what we're getting. Interior is really nice.

I hate writing bad reviews but here we are. People seem to rave on about this place but I don't understand the hype. Went here with my girlfriend for dinner last night with high expectations only to be met with disappointment. The charcuterie board we ordered had tasty items on it, but was significantly lacking in items for the 20$ price point. The pasta dish I ordered passed the eye test and looks like an artist put it together, but lacked any semblance of flavor beyond the natural taste of ground hamburg overwhelming the dish. Ive gotten a better flavor profile from some of the local pizza joints pasta dishes than this 20$ pile of meh. I should talk about the good too, being my girlfriends pizza was decent at best and the waitress was personable and did well for a busy Friday night in downtown. I'd be reluctant to give this place another try giving it's high price point and mediocre at best food

Its like an upscale pub. The atmosphere is jovial and people go to celebrate birthdays or special events. Reservations would be better for weekends, especially in the evening as they are always really busy. Their cocktails are better than their food. The menu can feel limiting and there aren't a whole lot of options. Few menu items like the pasta are very popular and they do run out of certain items by 7.30pm on a Friday evening. The charcuterie board has good cheese but can be made more interesting for the price point. Overall, its a fun place to go hangout with friends.

I’ve been telling people, “I hear they have the best mac and cheese in Worcester” only to go here and be disappointed when I finally tried it myself! The shells and sauce were not at all consistent, the croutons were filled with oil from the melting cheese on top, and there was no strong flavor besides the crisp edges of cheese falling over the edge of the cup! It resembled an at-home creation, and my quest for the best mac and cheese continues. We also had the chicken and the eggplant sandwiches, which were also just OK. The fries were nice and crispy. The wings were giant and had a lot of meat on them. Our drinks were excellent! I got the seasonal Charli’s Apples drink and it was super refreshing and tasteful, like taking a bite out of a green apple. I anticipate coming back, but only for a drink, or perhaps for brunch.

What a great place. Just went here for the first time tonight.Ambiance was decent, food, drinks, and waitstaff were top notch. Spicy tequilla drink was excellent, and great beer list. We split a few different things the Mediterranean board was very good, but the whipped feta was the star of the show. Poutine and Mac n cheese were both phenomenal. Will 1000% go back here, looking forward to trying the smash burger and Cuban next time…go try this place out.

Armsby Abbey in Worcester is a great spot for a pre-show meal near the DCU Center. Our food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot, with mocktails that were cozy and well-crafted. Despite the restaurant being nearly full, the atmosphere was relaxed, and we could easily have a conversation. We parked at the DCU garage, walked to Armsby Abbey, and then to the show with time to spare, making it a convenient choice. Service was prompt and friendly. There's a fun young vibe here. Overall, it's a place I'll return to for good food, tasty drinks, and a stress-free start to an evening out.

Hard to review this one. If I could give half stars, I would do 3.5 (but really 3.75) They have a kids' menu but it's not really kid-kid food. The grilled cheese is thick bread with fancy cheese so real kids don't like it. The mac-n-cheese has fancy bread crumbs on top with fancy melted cheese so kids don't like it lol Great beer selection to help you cope with your annoying kids who don't like their fancy grilled cheese and mac-n-cheese Wings were weird. I like the attached wings but they weren't great. Smash burger was delicious. Wait staff was amazing! They get 5 stars because we brought a travel hockey team and they were so nice and accommodating. We had the back area so it was perfect for us.

Since I moved to Worcester recently I have been working a lot, but I have gotten out to try a few places that are new to me and one of my favorites is the Armsby Abbey. The aesthetic of the place is very calm, puby vibe and that's right up my alley.The beer and drinks are great, there's a good selection, in particular they had an ale from Hill Farmstead (VT) that was amazing. I will have to get the name when I go in again (probably very soon). The service was good, albeit a little slow...but it was busy. The food was very good though, I had the double smash burger with fries and it was almost perfect. I am def going to go back and try a few other things. The biggest critique I have is this place is it's def not on the cheaper side...I think it was over $20 for a burger and fries-in Worcester?!?! Those are some Boston prices right there :D Honestly I get it, things aren't cheap these days, but the check all told was pretty expensive for 2 beers and a burger so if I am being fare I had to round down to 4/5. I will try and remember to update my review when I go back. I do think they are capable of greatness!

A must stop for Beer lovers! Armsby Abbey is one of those sought-after places for lambic bottles and an incredible draft beer offering! For my birthday, we stopped for a late brunch where my husband ordered the Hash and I had the Croque Madame, both good but we found the pricing steep overall for what the menu was. The drinks however, were phenomenal! This is what they're known for for a reason - come for a beer, celebrate a special occasion with a bottle of Lambic or enjoy the cozy, vibes with the warm staff who were just wonderful!

A very high end beer bar, this place always has some really interesting and hard to get beers on tap. Think Hill Farmstead.... Food options tend to focus on shared items like charcuterie and cheeses. They also have sandwiches, salads and main entrees that change seasonally. Brunch is very popular on Sundays. I have always enjoyed my meal but often struggle when ordering as the menu feels limited even though there are two pages of options. Service is really good. Ambiance is lively, dark wood bar is really attractive and seating is mostly high tops. Free street parking usually available.

Stopped by on our way through to Nashua for a Saturday brunch in Worcester. Parking was a little bit of an issue but not too bad. The location is on a corner with big front windows. Inside, we were greeted right away by the concierge although there was room at the bar so we took those seats instead of being seated. The bar has plenty of seating along with a bar in the middle of the room. There is a back room with seating as well. Brick walls and good industrial space. We ordered drinks and food. Beer to start, they had a good selection. Food, we split the brunch hash with an extra egg and pork belly bacon, large 3-4" thick piece of pork belly. I enjoyed the bacon although my partner is not a fan of fatty meat. The hash was pretty good, mentioned Brussel sprouts and there was 2 small pieces of a Brussel. The potatoes were the main course of the dish with small chunks of bacon and onions. Eggs were cooked very well. As always, we ask "would we come back?" There are so many choices in Worcester, probably not. A 3.5 would be a good rating.

Stopped in for dinner in our travels to Boston. Quaint place with an interesting menu. Our server made a good suggestion for me when I mentioned liking sweet vodka drinks. My biggest complaint was that All of our food came out at the same time which was disappointing. I'm used to the appetizer coming first then meal. You could argue I didn't specify as well as they didn't ask. Also the temperature of the food lukewarm. However despite that the corn chicken chowder was very good. Rich, flavorful and filling - their bowl size is over generous with two pieces of bread. The smash burger was also tasty. The corn fritters were too heavy.

My friend K and I returned to Armsby Abbey after a few years and my previous rating of 5 stars still stands. We arrived on a Friday for a 12:30 reservation and were given the plum table in the window. The hostess was super friendly and our server Amina was fun, prompt and solicitous without being overbearing. I had a lovely sauvignon blanc to start. K and I both had the smashburger which was cooked to perfection. The soup of the day was a sweet potato puree something which sounded delicious but I knew would be too much. Next time maybe! The menu has a lot of variety and therefore something for everyone. The ambience is pub-style. I was warned in my reservation confirmation that booth seating was limited (true) and high top tables and backless chairs (no thank you!) were plentiful. Glad we got there early! I'm sure we'll be back.

Great place! Top notch cocktails, got the chicken pot pie was very tasty and the bartender is friendly, very knowledgeable and also makes a killer drink. Will be back here on my trips many times.

Been wanting to stop in here for a while and finally did. Now the local beer selection is quite good, but unfortunately they were out of several when we came. The place is very small inside, but they use the space well. We sat right away and had a very good waitress, Jasmine. If you are a charcuterie person this is your place. Since there was just two of us we went with the smash burger and ai had the Muhammara sandwich. I admit I had to look it up to see what it was. What it ended up being was a great chicken sandwich with a spicy spread. Wife's butter was also very flavorful. One downside was that she had a bunch of fries with her meal and I did not have many. We do intend to come back with a group to try the charcuterie appetizers

I just want to start off by saying the service was amazing and the food was very fresh. My ratings are always based on how yummy I thought the food was, and it wasn't very. The only good thing to me was the meat and cheese boards. I felt like the amount of food they gave you was on the smaller size, but the meat and cheese choices themselves were delicious. And the hummus was so delicious and flavorful, with huge warm pita slices. The appetizers were the stars of the show. Then we have the entrees (dinner menu) we had the wings (buffalo carrot). It came with 4 large wings, but there was no buffalo flavor and all, honestly didn't really taste like anything besides charred chicken. We had the Mac and cheese and I thought the cheese was a little mushy with a lot of bread chunks (didn't have breadcrumbs as topping). And the gnocchi was sweet and with corn, and the gnocchi itself was really salty. I was not a fan of that one. They have a huge selection of beer and cocktails, it was yummy. They said this place is dog friendly, but I believe it's only for their outdoor seating. I didn't see any dogs, that's just my guess

When it's good, let the world know. Used to trying out hotels and restaurants of all kinds, it is rare to find such a surprising place. We chose Armsby Abbey in Worcester for its convenient proximity to the Hilton Garden Inn. Lively and warm pub atmosphere, sober wooden decoration, young clientele, we were welcomed by a smiling staff. The cocktails were original, delicious and for once, drinkable (I can't stand the sugar syrup that we are served in most establishments). We enjoyed a Pot Pie and a Pesto Flat Bread. Two dishes in reasonable portions, European style. And above all, gourmet and tasty. And not everyone can surprise the palate of Frenchmen. Overall, a great culinary experience and a warm welcome in a friendly space. I highly recommend it. Small downside, the pretty bar could use better lighting.

Highlight of the meal here was our waiter who managed our large table with humor and aplomb, I wish I got his name, but all our orders came out correctly and he was patient with our asks for recommendations. I wish I could rate the food more highly. I went with the toast ($7) and the strawberry fields salad with chicken (an eye-popping $26). The bread, while my personal favorite of thick-cut, was several shades of brown too dark for my liking and extremely hard. Comparable to the crunch level of a baguette that's been sitting out for a day. It tore up the roof of my mouth good. I was picturing something more like a dinner roll, with a pillowy center, but to be fair, they did advertise it as "toast." I saw a lot of tables ordering it, so maybe I'm in the minority. Also, for five or six slices of bread, I wished they gave much more than the ant-sized thimbles of butter and preserves that came with it. The salad itself was okay, but it had some extremely sour bits of pickled rhubarb that threw off the taste. Between the rhubarb, the lemon chèvre, and the citrus dressing, the dish as a whole was way too sour. I liked the grilled chicken, just wish there was a lot more of it for the $10 price. My friends seemed to like their food; the flatbread in particular (really, a pizza) looked incredible. My husband said the hash was good but again, the meat in the dish (sausage) was in short supply. Parking: Street options available right across the street from the restaurant.

Great selection of draft beers. I had the fried chicken which was good, but looking around I think I would go for a handheld next time. The slaw was a little strange, the jalapeno cornbread was the star of the show. Bartenders were very friendly and service was quick. (I was by myself and sat at the bar.)

Came here tonight with 4 others. Sat at a high top table. Nice beer selection. We got a bunch of appetizers and shared them for dinner. Two orders of wings, poutine, street corn, fritters, charcuterie combo. The carrot buffalo wings were excellent, the stone fruit wings were a bit sweet for us. Everything else was solid. It's a little loud, but that was ok for us.

Disappointing Experience at Armsby Abbey **Address:** 144 Main Street, Worcester, MA 01608 After a day at the Big E in Springfield, my wife and I were looking for a restaurant on our way to Fall River. We came across Armsby Abbey, which had high ratings and positive reviews. Unfortunately, our experience did not live up to expectations. Positives: - Nice decor and clean establishment - Friendly waitress - Tasty corn fritters with bacon-infused maple syrup and chives Negatives: - Grilled chicken wings lacked seasoning and salt - Major issues with the Gochujang Chicken Sandwich: 1. Initially served with kimchi aioli despite requesting it without 2. Replacement sandwich was extremely overcooked and inedible - Poor handling of the situation by management ## The Sandwich Debacle: I ordered the Gochujang Chicken Sandwich without several components, including the kimchi aioli. When it arrived with the aioli, I sent it back. The replacement sandwich appeared to be the same one, simply reassembled. It was so overcooked that it was impossible to eat - I nearly damaged a tooth trying to bite into it. ## Customer Service Failure: When I reported the issue to our waitress, she apologized and said she'd speak with the manager. However, the sandwich still appeared on our bill. Upon questioning this, we were told the manager refused to remove the charge. The manager then approached our table, insisting we pay for one sandwich since they had to make two. I explained that both attempts were their mistakes, but he was unsympathetic and rude, essentially forcing us to pay for an inedible meal. ## Conclusion: In all my years of dining out, I've never felt so disrespected by a restaurant. The combination of kitchen errors and poor management response makes it impossible for me to recommend Armsby Abbey. If I could give it less than one star, I would.

The passenger sat next to me on the plane recommended this place since I was going to be in town for a few days. He was right...good ambience, delicious food and the service was just right. I sometimes prefer to eat alone without chitchatting, the waiter was friendly enough but not too chatty.

There's a reason why this place has over 1000 reviews and nearly all of them are positive. A real gastropub with clever cocktails, a beer menu full of rare and special brews, and a menu that truly complements the beverages. I've been on several occasions and have always left happy and full. Being a gastropub, it's not the most quiet and intimate venue, especially on busy weekend nights. It's also predominantly high tops and bar stools although there are a few tables where your feet reach the floor. The food is always fresh, it's high quality and I've yet to have something cooked incorrectly. A few reviews here are critical to the pricing but unfortunately this is what you'll pay for this type of quality now. For instance a 12oz craft draft is around $10, which is only about $1 than you pay at the brewery that brewed it so I'd hardly consider it upcharging. Service varies by server (obviously) but I've found almost all of the staff friendly, prompt and helpful. They are particularly helpful if you're on the fence about a certain cheese or drink. We recently watched the manager have to speak with a 6 top about their excessively boisterous and disruptive banter. She handled the situation with tact and professionalism. Armsby is literally soup to nuts fantastic if you're looking for a modern gastropub this side of the pond.

We came here for a friends birthday. They have a really good bar and a great beer list. The reason for the three stars is that they do not offer much if you are gluten-free. Only choices are two salads and the brussels sprouts side dish. I asked if they had gluten-free bread thinking that I could get one of the sandwiches, but all they had was gluten-free pita bread, which would not have been the right type of bread for a burger or a chicken sandwich. I ordered the pumpkin fall salad. There wasn't any pumpkin in it. There was a puree of pumpkin on the bottom of the dish and salad was put on top of. It had a nice flavor, but was pretty much just greens and dressing. I asked the waitress if I could get a side of gluten-free pita bread and she told me that that would be at $10 up charge! $10 up charge for a piece of pita bread is absolutely ridiculous. If I come back here again, it'll just be to have some drinks.

We walked in at 4:45 on a saturday,bar was full but the rest of the place was empty and we asked for a table so we could have a drink and we're told no, they are booked. We would have been there for maybe a half hour... and there was no effort on the part of the INFANTS at the host/hostess desk. WORST MANAGEMENT AND SERVICE IN WORCESTER

Armsby Abbey is one of the most popular restaurants in Worcester when you look up must try restaurants. It is a nice little spot that has a wide selection of local beers. I went on a holiday so it wasn't too busy and got the habanero apricot wings and the poutine and both were amazing. The wings had a sweet glaze on them which was very flavorful and unique although I tasted zero habanero and wished they were spicy as advertised. The poutine was great too the fries could've been a bit more crunchy since the gravy softens them but the flavors were all there and the gravy was amazing. I got a flight with two ciders, a coconut coffee beer, and a fruit ale which I forget the name. My favorite was the fruit ale it might've been a cherry flavored beer, the ciders were decent, and the coconut coffee beer was not my favorite but unique. I would for sure recommend this place if you are in Worcester. I probably wouldn't come back unless I was in the area since it was really good but I can certainly find just as good or better places in Boston.

Best pizza in town! Just went here for lunch with a few friends and I gotta say I loved the atmosphere, the welcoming staff, and nice unique choices they in fresh quality ingredients. I ordered a Caprese like pizza which came with mozarella,basil, red sauce, sea salt and various hints of spices. I loved how the pizza was not too doughy & how rich each of the flavors were; nothing seemed too overpowering and each ingredient added perfectly to the other. They also have this amazing aoili mayonnaise you need to try!! It is great with all your sides & entrées. A cute ,quaint restaurant within walking distance of Worcester Common and the downtown area; the perfect place to explore and grab a bite. Definitely have to check them out.

From the time I walked in until I left I felt welcomed and cared for. I sat at the bar and the bartender helped me choice the perfect cocktail Tito's Vodka. Fig & Vanilla Syrup. Lemon. Chocolate Bitters. Egg White. Then he helped choose my lunch. I was going to get the 1 cheese plate but he recommended I get the 2 cheese plate because then I would get all the accoutrements and breads.

I love my bloody marys and trying them all around town. I have to say that Armsby Abbey is high on the list of best bloody marys in Worcester. Sat solo at the bar and chatted with the friendly bartender!

Good service & friendly staff, excellent beer selection, good food. Been here a dozen times during my trips from Chicago. There are no TV screens, and music isn't blaring. It's a chill place you go to hang out with friends if you want to hear what they actually say or say something yourself without losing your voice.

I highly recommend the eggplant sandwich. The Stick Season cocktail is also absolutely delicious. I feel like I need to come write another review every time I sample the new seasonal menu. The staff here are also fantastic and accommodating and happy to explain anything on the menu, so if they aren't slammed, be sure to ask questions if you have them.

We happen to drive through here when we were in need for lunch stop. I quickly found this farm to table restaurant nearby, and I'm so glad we found it. We had 15 mins for order brunch, and we ordered few items to share. Everything was absolutely delicious, freshly made, and fast! We almost licked the plates. Service was also super friendly, and they didn't rush us at all. Great beer selection. Idk if we will ever be in this city, but if we are, I'm definitely stopping here.

Great service and yummy food. Staff are knowledgeable about their products and accommodating to requests.

stale bread bad parking and drinks. company aware of pats towing and haven't done anything.

Had a business meeting here. A woman with a bob cut who worked there was very rude and ruined my entire experience. We had 3 drinks each over our 2 hour meal. Talked to a waitress only when ordering. While there was multiple tables open, she walked up to us and said that our table was needed. Middle of our conversation. With 3 other 6 tops open. I will never come back here and should've revised my 20%+ tip. If I could give negative stars, I would.

Good cocktails. Very limited and weirdmenu I'm All for new things and combinations, but you cantoffer a white sauce flat bread and white sauce pasta with no red option Trying too hard to be cool and uncool at the same time if that makes sense My son and I left and went to the Boynton for red sauce pizza and wings that didn't have fruit in the sauce. The beer list there is even better and there is a parking lot in the back Btw, don't announce you are a training waiter/tress. The job isn't that hard, just do it

We really picked a winner tonight!! Phenomenal selection of lambics and specialty cocktails. They even have a mocktail menu! What!!! My heart!!! They even had a couple of delicious offerings from one of our favorite breweries, Fonta Flora. Our food was ridiculous. If you order the fritters order the whipped feta and smear some on the fritter! WOW!!! We did the poutine add roasted mushrooms. Then put some of the mushrooms on the crustini that had feta on it. Mix and match and you will not regret. The gravy in the poutine is delicious!!! Plus they are going to put on their own Zwanze Day Sept 2023 and a Stout Fest in November. If we were local we'd be back regularly.

What a great place. Ambiance was nice. Cute little place that I go to a lot. Waitress was wonderful and made sure our huge party with lots of kids was well taken of. Totally forgot to take photos but we ate many different meals. Burgers were good kids pizza was good. Mac and cheese was good but I like it creamier. Drinks were good and everyone was happy with the service. Great job

22 other reviews have the word "rude" in them and this makes 23.. the manager and server we had were extremely rude and dismissive. The manager, a short white brunette was aggressive. I hope she gets some help. The service industry isn't for everyone.

Most agree that the sign of a good restaurant is a place that you say you'll come back to. I'd go back to Armsby Abbey. A really good variety of sandwiches, flat, breads, salads, and appetizers that they should have something for everyone. The menu was a seasonal menu, so these might not be a year-round thing. The Fall harvest flatbread comes with spicy honey nut squash, purée, tougas, farm, apples, red onions, cheddar, fried sage, and spicy Pepita's. Flatbread or pizza I'm big on the sauce and the crust. The honey nut squash purée certainly was spicy but not a bad spicy. The crust was just OK. The autumn salad was really good. You've got your shredded cabbage, mixed greens, tougas, more apples and toasted walnuts with maple vinaigrette. They needed more maple vinaigrette, but this was a nice fresh salad. The server recommended the brussels sprouts for an appetizer. Good call. Big fan of brussels sprouts, and they certainly had a nice twist to them. Lastly, if you're a rye fan, I strongly suggest the Vermont old fashion. This is the best old fashion I have ever had

Stellar beer menu. Cool interior vibes. They run out of menu items so don't go too late.

Went for a happy hour and it was just what I wanted! They had a great selection of drinks - both beer and cocktails. I've been very into sours lately, was suggested one by our server and it did not disappoint. Shared a charcuterie board then each got entrees, I got the green handmade pasta with pancetta on top. It was tasty and the portion was huge. From the other reviews, the brunch sounds like it's a PARTY and I wish I was able to try it! Maybe next time I'm around!

If that's a version of Poutine they've not tasted a good one, and the Mac n' Cheese was mostly bread... hint, Mac = Macaroni not bread! Disappointed, not only with our food choices but also the menu. It didn't live up to the hype or its positive reviews.

Great atmosphere and AMAZING whipped feta. Definitely recommend this appetizer and the ciders!

Cute little bar/restaurant. Amazing beer selection, eclectic food menu but the food we had was delicious.

If you are looking for elevated, locally sourced, farm to table bar food paired with the uncontested best tap list on the East Coast, you've found it! If you aren't looking for those things.... why not? I literally go out of my way to come here when I'm passing through the area or going to a concert at the Palladium, and it's worth it every time.

The interior is beautiful and the service is nice. It's pretty pricey so I go once in a while. The food and drink selection is very good and I enjoy the various pairings you can make with meats and cheeses. I do wish there were larger portions.

Went for brunch. The seating is absolutely awful. More bar than restaurant, they only have high top tables with stools (no chair backs) making for a very uncomfortable eating experience. The food was okay, but it took almost 25 minutes for us to get our cheese board appetizer. We got the quiche, which looks amazing, but is completely overpowered with green pepper, making it really the only thing you taste. The Carmel Apple pancakes were good, although the sauce was more water than syrup which turned the pancakes into a mushy mess. I'd give the restaurant another try, but not for brunch - maybe at happy hour to sit at the bar (the only chairs in the place with backs).

The charcuterie was delicious! The restaurant itself is beautiful. The mac and cheese was a bit lacking in flavor but definitely still good. The kids menu is a great add for a tapas restaurant too. I would have likely ordered the pasta without the oil for our ten year old if we went back. That's more of a tip for other parents and not a slight at the restaurant because it was an individual taste.

Amina was awesome and gave us great recommendations including things to do after lunch! The building is old but updated and gives off a nicer college bar scene. Food was pretty good and for a reasonable price! WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SMASH BURGER!!! All the reviews talked about the Mac and cheese so we got that and it was mediocre at best. Too many croutons and not enough flavor in my opinion. It is aesthetically pleasing however. The poutine was also good but bacon overpowering the flavor of everything else. Ultimately it came down to the drinks for a positive review. 4 drinks and all the food and we stayed under $100 for lunch! If you're in the area check it out for sure! Will be back for brunch!

We have driven by here several times on our way to Deadhorse Hill and glad we stopped to try it! Street parking was tricky but we eventually found a spot. Our table started with a couple of charcuterie and greek platters. Kinda pricey for what we actually received but all was tasty. Main courses included the burger. Bahn Mi, Chicken sandy, gnocchi. We all loved our main dishes! Staff was lovely and helpful. Many of the tables are high-tops and we were glad to get a short table. Long bar and narrow space makes for a crowded venue, yet the staff moved around effortlessly.

My friends and I decided to come here for dinner on a casual Friday evening. We did not have a reservation and was told it will probably be 20 minutes of a wait, but 2 minutes after walking out of the restaurant, I received the text stating that my table was ready. The restaurant is a bit on the louder side, but I liked the ambiance. We ordered drinks first, which took awhile to arrive, before ordering our food. The food also took a long time to come out, I want to say between 15 - 20 minutes after our drinks. The drinks were great! I loved the Dry Hopped Paloma (Tequila, Agave, Citra Hop & Grapefruit Cordial, Seltzer), I usually hate seltzer, but it barely tasted like there was seltzer in it. Their wine/beers list is quite long - lots to choose from! For appetizers, we ordered poutine, 2 orders of bone marrow, BBQ chicken wings, and a charcuterie board with Plymouth Ballyhoo Brie, Jamón Serrano, and Chicken Pate. The poutine was 3.5/5, became soggy really fast. Chicken wings are full chicken wings, with the flat and drum, but tiny little wings, super flavorful. Bone marrow (4/5) needed some salt and maybe a different type of bread. Charcuterie board, the brie came separate with apples, honey, and jam - can't go wrong with that. The meats platter was great as well, came with other condiments that compliments the meat and pate. For entrees, we ordered mussels, Farroto Risotto, and fried chicken sandwich. Definitely had too much with appetizers, so we brought home the risotto (still tasty the next day). Risotto (5/5) had pulled duck confit which was delicious, it was creamy but with a lot of textures with the peas and duck. Mussels (5/5) were made in a creamy coconut sauce with a kick of Fresno peppers (warning: peppers are super spicy if you eat it). Chicken sandwich (4.5/5) was great as well, definitely filling! I will definitely be coming back to Armsby Abbey for dinner another time because their menus change, I want to try brunch as well!

We highly recommend the Armsby Abbey! They always have the most fantastic atmosphere, and the staff is just excellent. The food menu is modest, while the drink menu is sublime. It is excellent as a solo guest if you're looking for a place to enjoy a small bite with a marvelous cocktail, one of the many beers they have on tap, or as a party of more for a night out with friends. You are met by staff who show up with a smile and are ready to help you navigate your senses to the right choices if it's your first time. They always ask if you have been there before, and I love telling them it's a friend's first time and won't be the last. Our recommendation is the Resolutions End and a three cheese slate. ~Cheers!

Everything from ambiance to the food was amazing. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and I've tried most items.
