Marilyn's Pub

Marilyn's Pub is just what the Bristol area needs, a warm comfortable well appointed restaurant with OUTSTANDING FOOD.   Don't miss their LUNCH SPECIALS....$5.

This was the first time here. My meal was the stuffed shrimp with crab stuffing with skin-in mashed potato, garden salad with balsamic vinigarette on-the-side, and steamed mixed vegetables and coffee. This wad one of their specials on the menu. What was surprisingly pleasing wad that the beverage (I had coffee and my Mother had hot tea) was INCLUDED! However, I did not ask if I had gotten something else, like soda, if that beverage would be included also, like my coffee. There was live entertainment there as well...sometimes an acoustic guitarist,  like tonight, sometimes a DJ... The decor was visually pleasing to the eye and as the name states, a nice life-like pose of Marilyn Monroe with her skirt waving up stands in the corner. The ambiance was fine for me, but for some can become a little overwhelming once the place starts to fill up and people try to talk over the live entertainment. However, I would not at all let the noise factor in on whether or not I would return for another meal. I would definitely be back...

Cheers!

The Good.
        Clean. Interior is well maintained and staff is friendly.
The Bad:
     food was terrible.
         Mussels: Way to much oil used in cooking and some were not                    open/undercooked.
         Fried Mozzarella: Was not hot enough and the marinara was bland.  
         
          Greens Salad: Fresh greens and a nice spring mix GOOD.
   
           Shrimp Scampi: Almost inedible. served in almost a soup of garlic, oil and lemon. Way to much Lemon and insane amount of oil. Gave up eating this after a few bites. Bread served with this dish was cold.
           
           Chicken Milanese Sandwich: Flavorless. Roasted peppers were bland, cold, and canned.

Won't eat here again.
