We stumbled upon this place for lunch and were so impressed! They have a variety of food/imported beer options. The Chicken Pot Pie and Brie/Bread appetizer were cooked to perfection!! All employees were so nice and accommodating. We will definitely return the next time :)

Great service and food. Staff was friendly and fun. Guinness was a good pour. Had your British favorites and regular pub grub.

My mom & dad would come to HHI for a couple weeks every year. My mom never wanted to try The British Open Pub because she had awful memories of English food when they visited Europe back in 1964. Dad died in 2017. The next year my husband, myself and my mom are on HHI for a week. We insist on finally trying out this place. Now, it's her Favorite Place to eat. The fish & chips are our favorite. My poor dad would have loved everything about this great place! Advice: if you are going on a Friday or Sat night make reservations. We went to dinner on a Friday at 6pm in early December without reservations. First, the servers were so nice and attentive, as per usual. Dinner was quick, hot, and delicious. We were out of there by 6:50. Without saying too much, I still have a pit in my stomach, a couple days later because of the way the hostess treated our party of 3 that dared to come into a pub for dinner on a Friday night without reservations. Still 4 stars. We will go back again and again.

Good food and great service. Recommend making reservations. Lots of locals and regular customers. Not a large seating area.

Another place we always go to when on HHI. The chicken pot pie is creamy and delicious. The fish and chips is some of the best on the island.

The fish and chips are some of the best on the Eastern seaboard. Don't miss your chance to eat here. The whole menu looks amazing. The staff knew almost everyone, and regulars are a sign of a great restaurant. Especially in a tourist town. Go. Eat. It's worth it!

At first seemed a lil stuffy as far as attitude from hostess and even waitress at first but she got friendlier. Really enjoyed all the golf decor and the food rocked. Amazing fish n chips and tasty tuna melt. Were going back for Prime Rib day.
