They have better than decent steak tips but their fish n chips are out of this world - Guinness batter dipped, the filet I had last night measured 6" x 8" and about an inch and a half thick, perfectly done as are their chips. The cole slaw was good with a horseradish tang to it.
I would vote them as having the best FnC in the Boston area that I've had in a long, long time.
It's seat yourself but you'll be greeted before sitting or shortly thereafter, service so far has been great. As for parking, if you can't find a space along the street there's tons of parking out back.
It's located across from the town common and the Norwood Theater, great for a date night dinner or just a meeting spot for a few drinks, darts or pool,
Have been to this pub several times. Â To me it's a typical bar. Â It is large and 'open' enough to have a large crowd of friends. Â The bartenders are pleasant. Â The prices are reasonable. Â The outstanding or the "WOW" factor is the nachos. Â These are the best I've ever had and the portion is enough to feed four people.
Review Source:Met a fellow MAYaterian (MAY birthday people) for cocktails with Tom behind the bar.  Sampled a few 'tinis',y favorite being the Curaçao flavored.  Didn't eat, waiting for that when I go there on the office Bday 5/3 with Mother and my 2 sisters.  I'm getting Fish & Chips (english style with a couple of beers of course).  See you at 6pm.  May
Review Source:Half Vintage Hipster ....... Half Townie Sports-or-Club-or-Pub-or (???). Â I met up with two of my closest friends for dinner and they recommended Limey's (where they attend Thursday Trivia). Â The space is classic Brit-Pub. Â It's a long space with a variety of seating options, solid wood accents, and glamorous tin ceiling tiles. Â I Â was feelin' the groove with the tunes being played (Adele, the Smiths, the Ramones, Peter Bjorn and John, etc)....but was a little confused as to why those tunes were being blared from all directions. Â We sat, we observed the menu (doesn't take long - it's a small but packed with some great comfort food combos). Â We were introduced to our waitress and ordered a round of brewskies.
A few minutes later, I was sipping my 5$ Black Velvet (mmmmm Guinnessy goodness) and we were digging into our potato skin appetizer (4 cheesy pieces of potatoey heaven for 8$ ....a little overpriced, but a delicious). Â Meanwhile: ...the music slowly became slightly more pronounced and the "bah buh bah" of the b-b-bass was preventing 100% conversation comprehension. Â [so we leaned in - like good friends do in these situations]
Our food arrived and I must say: comfort cuisine ACCOMPLISHED!! Â My Italian Panini (mozzarella, basil, tomato on focaccia) was DE-licious; the sweet potato fries: I wish I had ordered a barrel. Â My friend got a MASSIVE bowl of Buffalo Chicken Mac'n'Cheese (*whimper*) - - - - instant satisfaction. Â Our waitress was friendly and took care to check in on us (again....aaaand again...and a-gain - - - sheeeeesh!). Â We would have welcomed the pint refills, but no time for chit-chat; the waitress kept circling by our corner table, and volume of the music was competing with avid college basketball fans screaming at the TV behind the bar (yeahhh I'll pass).
I was pleased with the design and layout of the place and the menu had some GREAT options at totally reasonable prices. Â I'll likely return for aforementioned Thursday Trivia.....but for a pint and conversation, I may have to look elsewhere (just plain TOO loud for my 26-year-old ears).
Well now this is Boston. There are many Irish pubs in the area. I live in Norwood, and there are some here too. But this is a British pub, and it shows. I came originally from Newfoundland where "fish 'n' chips" is a delicacy and it's done in the English way, with hand cut fries that are to die for, unlike the frozen steak-cut fries most people in New England have come to associate with "fries". You haven't lived!
Limey's offers up the real deal. Hand-cut fries with wonderfully battered fish that is done as well as I've had it in New England.
I have also had their chicken wings which are just great. Their salads are large and tasty. I can roll in and get fish and chips the right way (with malt vinegar if you know your fish and chips) and a Guinness and when you leave you'll already be planning your next trip.
Well done Limey's. I hope you're around for a long time.
Great atmosphere and fun place to be. Â Friendly owners and staff. Â The service can be a little slow at times but the food and drinks make up for it. Â I haven't had anything I didn't like. Â On different occasions, I've tried the chicken tenders, buffalo salad, Limey burger and nachos. Â They also make fabulous drinks; from creative martinis to warm, chocolate concoctions. Â
There is plenty of seating; open space for large groups. Â They have a pool table and dart board. Â The bathrooms are clean, which is a huge plus for me. Â Oh yeah, tons of flat panel TV's showing mostly sports but the owner said they can change the channel to satisfy any request (no Hallmark shows, of course).
