Enjoyable place to gather and eat "feel good" comfort foods. I've been a couple times, sat at the bar inside and outside in the tent. Both seating areas are great but I really want to go back to sit in the tent in the evening - looks like evening is when the atmosphere out there goes up a level. All the foods my group (four guys) ate were good and filling. This IS comfort food, though, so loosen your buckle! We all left satisfied and happy each time. Clean restrooms, clean floors, happy and friendly staff, very nice beer selection, cozy bar, easy and free parking out back. Good for lunch and dinner.

Excellent chicken sandwich! Get it lightly tossed in buffalo sauce. Add fried egg, bacon and cheddar. You'll thank me. Went two days in a row and the service is top notch. Great outdoor area to sit and relax.

First time eating and patronizing The Cracked Pillar Pub. Will not be the last. Opted to sit inside and alone during lunchtime. Amazing food and quite atmosphere. Looking at the photos on here alotta good things to choose from and food looks just like the photos. Will definitely be back soon. A little hole in the wall thats been there for years and drive by often. Stop and try it.

What an absolute gem! Housed in an interesting old house in a pretty little town, this what happens when the owners and staff care, and things are done right. The service was attentive and friendly and the food was a cut above. The Reuben deserves it's reputation, but the wings and onion rings we ordered were just as well made. Wish we lived closer, but we'll be back all the same. Highly recommended!

Great place has outdoor seasonal seating and you can bring your fur baby. In the colder seasons you sit inside a historical building and everyone is so nice the staff and the locals. My favorite is their Ruben sandwich and it's always prepared with a little love. The beer is always cold or the bartender can whip up something a little stronger. I'd definitely recommend this place when your in the area.
