A great little pub that many people in the area go to. A meeting place. Good food, good beer.
Dry food.. heated in microwave or felt it did. Pie was gross..Coffee was good. Server wS nice cheerful and quick.
Great place to hang out but evertime i eat there it reminds me why i dont eat there wish the food was just a little better
Mother?s Day at the Loft was absolute chaos! We arrived on time. Walked into the Loft through and passed the buffet line. ... Three waitresses were in discussion at the end of the bar when I interrupted. Cassie was our waitress and under thecircumstances did a great job but she had too much to do. At one point she actually had to run downstairs to get moreplates. The food was good but the eggs and French toast was cold as was the eggs Benedict. The fruit bowl was empty and therewere no small bowls for it. The beans and strawberries were hot. I went back to the buffet but there was nothing refilled buta waitress said to other customers that refills of the food trays would be soon. Ten minutes later nothing had happened. Insummary, the wait staff should be commended for their hard work. They were apparently understaffed . The food that we werefortunate to get was good but cold. It was a very memorable Mother?s Day Read more
To start off I got the calamari which was definitely frozen wasn't bad. Then I ordered the turkey dinner which was really good I... did like it. The server slash bartender was excellent. Food there is okay prime rib not my favorite I've had much better gothere once in a great while not my favorite place. We go to a lot of different restaurants. Strafford Farms would be last on thechoice list. Read more
Just been there tonight, I had hopes about this place and wanted to celebrate with a meal out for the family and I am SO... disappointed! We arrived around 7pm and there were 4 tables with people for two waitresses. One stayed behind the bar talking toeither friends or regulars for most of the time we were there, the other one with dark hair was running around like crazy tryingto deal with the tables. After a good ten minutes and two more tables filled with new customers, we were finally asked if whatwe wanted to drink. Drinks arrived promptly and we were asked what we wanted for food. Kids and I were ready but not my wife.From there we waited an extra 15 minutes before she showed up and asked again. Kids asked for fish & chips and a slice of pizza,I ordered rear sirloin tips and my wife was up for quesadilla. After a nearly 30 minutes wait, I asked the dark haired waitressif the food was soon to come as my kids were getting impatient who nicely answered she would go and check with the kitchen. Atthat time, the other waitress did not move from the bar and was still talking with the same couple of customers. Food arrivedlike two minutes later and sadly, most of it was bad (pics attached). Rear sirloin tips were over cooked, felt more like chewinggum than anything else, and french fries were clearly made from frozen, no sauce. Fish and chips, the fish was dry and undercooked and the fires were, well, made from frozen and tasteless, came with no sauce nor condiment. Pizza slice was overcooked(melted cheese was black) and my son said it was "too spicy". Only the quesadilla was actually pretty good. When I asked formayo, I was looked at like I was an alien. We ate what we could and asked for the bill. When we left, the blonde waitressfinally started to move away from the bar and serve tables. I am seriously disappointed since the place looks nice and haspotential but the food and the service were such a let down, this would be a first and last time! I am not c Read more
I love a good local bar, and I love supporting them, but I had a tough time here. I stood at the bar to order a drink for a... solid 5 minutes without being helped. Eventually I had a seat and had a little more success ordering, but not much. I ordered aSmuttynose IPA (I like supporting local breweries as well), but the waitress looked confused and just repeated 'IPA'. She cameback a few minutes later without the beer to confirm I wanted 'an IPA', so I clarified 'Smuttynose IPA'. She came back 5 minuteslater with Lagunitas IPA, but at this point I was just happy to have a beer. The table ordered food, and the waitress came back10 minutes after ordering it to confirm what we ordered so she knew to bring it out when it came up. I have a feeling she forgotto put the order in because the food was an additional 25-30 minutes before it came out (it was nachos). Came out without thesauces we asked for and we had about 10 minutes to eat the entire thing before we had to leave for a meeting. Maybe it was justa bad night for the server or they were really new, but I don't think I would come back here. Read more
Waited an hour and a half for our food. Got our to-go orders before our actual meals even came out (like 15 minutes after we... ordered it). Orders were wrong. Waitress was completely miserable. So miserable in fact that I felt bad for her. She didn'tsmile once, she was rude, and simply seemed put out to being there. Having worked in restaurants before, I know how tough it canbe so I always give the benefit of the doubt. However, this was not our first dining experience with her and the impression wasthe same this time around. I believe this restaurant could be a little more successful with a MUCH smaller, focused menu and achange in wait staff. The menu is too overwhelming for the guests so I imagine it's just as overwhelming for the cook(s). I didvoice my concerns over the phone with the manager, and she very pleasant to deal with. This place (Strafford Farms) has beenaround for a very long time so I hope they can take the appropriate measures to stay in business. Read more
