We stopped here for dinner last Sunday. What a pleasant surprise - expected typical bar food. But, turns out they have a really good chef. He had just finished baking several artichokes which were delicious. Generous portions and all the meals were really good.

We finally thought to give the Lighthouse Tavern a shot after driving past it for years. We ordered takeout and everything was as expected. The biggest winner was the grilled chicken sandwich. The chicken was the star of the show; perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned with a flavor that could have easily stood on its own. The supporting actors -- a high quality roll, excellent honey mustard, and copious amounts of melted cheese -- helped drive it home and make it the best grilled chicken sandwich I've ever had. I never thought I'd be so stoked about a grilled chicken sandwich but I am. I'd love to explore the menu more but it would be tough straying from that excellent sandwich.

Again - want to say how good the Captains Morgan's wings are and the Clams Casino - with a nice beer - great night out. Service is always excellent - The girls are always friendly and attentive. Atmosphere - typical Tavern / Bar - noisey but always something going on - band, karaoke, trivia night, ect. If your in the area - go have a beer and some fun........

Food is basic bar food but definitely hits the spot when wanting a simple good meal. The bartenders were very nice and quick. I was happy with the service even when it was super busy on st Patrick's day. St Patrick's was amazing here as they did themed things and had bagpipes. I also went on a standard nice and like that they have games and different things happening thru the year. Def a kid friendly bar/restaurant which makes for a fun family night BUT also great late night for a fun night out with Music

WARETOWN: Lighthouse Tavern restaurant has been a staple in town for over 40 years! There is an American menu with burgers, salads, and a variety of appetizers, along with a big beer list and full bar. YAPPY HOUR is every Sunday from 4-7pm on the outdoor patio! It was very popular with people and pups and we were thrilled to see the happiness all around. There are puppy pools to cool down and it's a nice night to chill out and have a good meal. Jim, the owner, came by to say hello and we let him know that we love yappy hour! The servers are great and accommodating, and happy to bring out a water bowl. Yappy Hour Rules: Dogs must be leashed. Please no retractable leashes, our furry friends can get tangled in those with their friends. Dogs must be spayed and neutered. Dogs must be up to date on their rabies shots.
