Thirsty Moose Taphouse

I used to be a fan of THT but not so much anymore. Recently my family and I went to the Exeter one and was sort of stunned by the poor quality food and portions that the waitstaff were trying to pawn off on us. As an appetizer I ordered the nachos. For some reason, the kitchen staff (and obviously management), thought that it is ok to pile a bunch of Sysco chips on a very small plate, put cheese on only the very top, charge $15, and call them nachos.Look at the pic. They look fine coming to your table because the top layer is covered with cheese. BUT IT IS ONLY THE TOP LAYER. There is no layering of cheese like in better restaurants so you are literally paying $15 for 50 cents worth of cheese and 80% bare chips! Since it took me less than 10 minutes to eat the top/only layer of cheese, I

What a great experience. We were greeted as we walked in. Sat at the bar. Langdon was very friendly and engaging. Tabitha was very friendly and was very attentive. Made awesome espresso martini's. Jeremy was incredible on the pizza station. This man u can see is passionate of what he does. It shows on how good the pizzas come out.

Underwhelming would be the best word to describe this place. Looks can be deceiving. Most of the food lacked flavor, pizza was blah, fried chick and breaded chicken were blah, Mac and cheese was blah, broccoli was under cooked, tots were luke warm and soggy. However, the star of the show were the steak tips which were perfect and the steak bomb was great, despite the portion size of meat inside which was disappointing considering it was arguably the best thing on the menu. Lastly, our waitress must’ve been having a bad night because she looked like she didn’t care one bit about us which was unfortunate, but everybody has a bad day. Overall just mediocre.

With the increasing prices in restaurants it seems quality is going down and down. This was an online pickup order so cannot rate service as I just walked up to the pickup area. We ordered chicken tenders which were the most dry and overcooked that we have ever seen. How someone would serve these is beyond me. Ribeye sliders were just on a straight bun, not even grilled, buttered, nothing. Meat was mostly fatty gristle with a few strands of barely cooked onions, just sad looking. Prime rib French dip, meat was also fatty gristle on a plain baguette type bread, also not grilled or anything. Each was around $20 which for this quality is just absolutely terrible, will not be going back.

I think this place is pretty good for an average spot with a decent atmosphere and a decent meal. I wouldn’t make a habit of it but all in all our server was really good. They had a large tap selection. The chicken fingers were prob the best thing we had(the only thing I got a pic of sorry). Sliders weren’t bad. My husband liked his sandwich. Def give it a try! Maybe go when they have an event or deals 🤷🏼‍♀️
