Visiting from out of town and we were hungry. We were going to eat down the street but that was too stuffy of a vibe. This is your local tavern. We were seated right away. Got burgers which were really good. Would come back if i was in the area.

Service awesome, atmosphere great, so much fun people watching outside. Food was ok. The NE clam chowder was delicious and loaded with clams. The chicken fingers and Italiano sandwich were just ok. Guess I was hoping for more from the reviews. Extra points for the great service and outside seats.

Great food and amazing waiters! The menu offers a lot of large entree options along with a selection of appetizers. The bartenders hustle on busy nights and make great drinks. Lots of beers on tap.

My coworkers and I decided to visit Fred and Ethel's for happy hour after work one Wednesday evening. I had only ever been to Fred and Ethel's on the weekend when there's an insanely long wait, so to walk in and get seated immediately was a pleasant surprise. Our group of 4 started with drinks and appetizers, buffalo wings and the buffalo chicken wontons. My rum punch was a little on the strong side, but I know some people love it like this so I'm not complaining. I prefer my mixed drinks to taste like juice so that's my own fault. The buffalo chicken wontons were AHHHH-mazing. I'm still thinking about how perfectly crispy they were with just the right amount of spice. For entrees, I did the bacon cheeseburger tacos and the fries with gravy and beer cheese because I love disco fries and these seemed similar. The bacon cheeseburger tacos came with three stuffed tacos that were huge. I could have shared and would have if someone else wanted to share with me. The beer cheese on the fries was good and even though the cheese and gravy made the fries soggy it was nothing a little fork usage couldn't handle. Other members of my party got chicken tenders and fries and fish and chips, but the menu has sooo many unique offerings you need to visit with foodies who like to share and are willing to try a bunch of different items. I was pleasantly surprised and I definitely will visit again. Our server was super friendly and attentive too.

Great restaurant in the cute little Smithville historic village. Had really good food, solid drink selection, and helpful servers. I love Smithville for a day trip and this is a great addition to that!

This restaurant is so great, the ability to put your name on the wait list and then go walk the village is perfect. They just get in and support the local area. The atmosphere was cozy but very smithville like. The service from the person checking us in for our table to the young lady who served us where perfect. So friendly and caring and just fully engaged. My crab cake was very good and a great portion. My daughter had chicken finger and fries and loved them. My only challenges are the bartender with the Eagles hat was just rude because she had to make 4 specialty drinks when we waited at the bar for a walk around drink. My other challenge is allow people to split the check, living in Ohio now they just allow it. What a way for others to come out and not have to work at the check and splitting it.
