Hingham has an abundance of upscale restaurants, and sometimes you just want a beer and a piece of pizza...I've passed by the Liberty Grill on numerous occasions and had never ventured inside until this past weekend, when the Snug was super busy, and we had our baby with us, so we sought out a more appropriate venue. The staff was super accommodating to us and our stroller. We ordered a buffalo chicken pizza, and the scallops...I was a little hesitant to order scallops at a place like this, but they were surprisingly decent. The pizza was great! Just enough spicy, with a side of bleu cheese. The restaurant itself is totally outdated, but there's something about it that's cozy.
Review Source:Wow, the one-review orange heads have skewered this place. Methinks the filter is not working in this instance? Someone seems to have it in for the staff at this place...
Anyway, this was not our original destination but Café Tosca across the way was too crowded so we stopped in. There was a table in the upstairs bar area that we could sit at without a wait, so we did. The bartender waited on us and she was really terrific - friendly and quick. This place looks exactly like what I expected it to look like - and that's not a bad thing.  It's very casual. Lots of kids and blue-hairs, but we were there on the early side.
To be honest, we didn't even really look at the menu past the bar pizza. My husband started with a bowl of chowder which he enjoyed. I tasted it and it had a nice smoky flavor and was very creamy. Â I started with a Greek salad. It was a typical Greek salad, but the ingredients were all fresh and crisp.
The pizzas were very good. They're those thin crust, Frisbee sized pizzas. I had mine with black olives, jalapenos, mushrooms and diced tomatoes and thought it was delicious. I took half home and reheated it for lunch the next day. The crust was crispy, which is exactly how I like it, though I can see how maybe not everyone does. My husband had the scallop and bacon pizza, which I tried. It was not something I would have thought I'd like but it was actually really good. There was a bit of a wait for the pizza but it was a busy night and our apps and drinks came out quickly so we were fine waiting.
This is definitely not 5-star dining but it's a nice option to have for something casual. It's in a great old building and located right across from Hingham Harbor.
(UPDATE) Our latest visit was om Aug 26th 2012. We were taken care of by Liz who had a charming personality and gave us great service. The young hostesses are always nice as well. The food was as usual affordable and very good. (END OF UPDATE) We like the pizza here very much it is very tasty especially when warm. These are bar sized pizzas and have a lighter consistency than other places as the cheese is not excessively applied. A cheese pizza is $6.00 and a good variety of draft beers are available. This is a very old and historic building dating from the 1700,s and you can see the beams and wood work common in the construction of those days. Yes there is an older waitress there who acts more as a functionary and does not go out of her way to be friendly however we have always found her to be attentive to our needs. We recommend this establishment for affordable great tasting bar pizza in a colonial pub atmosphere.
Review Source:I guess we are in the minority...but we found the Liberty Grill to be horrible! First off, our waitress was the rudest I have ever encountered, bordering on downright nasty. Her whole demeanor was just very rude. The second we were seated she asked if we wanted drinks (no sort of beverage menu offered). When my husband asked what was available. She answered very snippy..."We've got lots"...um thanks. After we ordered, she practically dumped our food on the table. Very abrupt, acted like we were an annoyance to her. And the food...yuck. The pizza, I can't understand the raves! It tasted like cardboard with oversalted sauce and greasy toppings. I have nothing against thin crust "bar" style pizza. But this was just horrible tasting. My husband ordered a burger and she did ask him how he wanted it prepared (rare). It arrived literally burnt and beyond "well-done". Why ask a patron how they would like something and then bring something entirely opposite? Even aside from that, he said it was the worst tasting burger...ever. Making Mcdonalds look good!
I will say the special I got, the lobster roll, was well prepared. but I was expecting a bit more than a tiny little grilled hot-dog roll size for 19 dollars...are you kidding me??? Never ever ever again. So disappointing.
I have lived in Hingham for awhile, but always ventured past this spot, right off off 3A on the Harbor. I was recommended to try it, and was surprised by the great prices, great crowd and good home style food. The past few times I have been I have gotten the surf and turf, which is amazing, and could rival that of some close by expensive neighbors. People swear by the pizza, and lots of parties of 8 or more come in on any given night for it.
The place itself is a little off. From the outside it is charming, the inside however def has a townie feel, and needs an updating. The bar downstairs is cramped, you almost get the feeling you are on a boat. The staff is OK, sometimes I feel the waitresses are given odd table assignments, but all in all its a good homey place.
The pizza here is great. Second only to Christo's in Brockton. Coming from me this is high praise indeed. The rest of the menu is fine, nothing extraordinary, but nothing to make you ill, either.
The atmosphere is charming and cozy. The service is  friendly, and prices are cheap.
Just a nice place to  have a quiet meal or take-out pizza.
Some of the best bar pizza around. If you dont want to make the drive to Randolph for Lindwoods, this is your place. Most pizza's are $5.50 to $6.50 and just as good. I can't speak for anything else on the menu, but everything is pretty much under $15, so i'd say its worth a try. This is a great after work kinda place.
Review Source:It pains me to write a bad review in my new town but it has to be done.
This is an old place that would make a great pub, if they got the food right. Â I'm giving this 2 stars as my husband enjoyed the beer and my seak tips were OK. Â More on that below.
I had the steak tip dinner with steak tips, a baked potato and a sad sad sad excuse for salad. (a piece of lettuce and 2 slices of tomato). Â My steak tips were SORELY undercooked when I asked for medium (I love medium rare and these were WAY too rare for even me) so I ate half of them. Â The potato was half cooked and very uninspiring.
My husband had the fish and chips which looked like it had come out of the freezer. Â He said the best thing about all of it was the coleslaw, which is the same standard issue restaurant cole slaw that he could get anywhere.
This place is in prime location across from Stars and Tosca and Tosca cafe. Â It needs to REALLY step up it's game to stick around as I even heard some locals commenting on it. Â It's got charm and if they really offered a decent menu i'm sure it would be better as it is reasonable.
We were told to get the pizza, and to be fair they did look good, but i'm off dairy so that wasn't possible.
I say go somewhere else.
