Steve-N-James Tavern

This place is okay, they have a nice deck where your mediocre food outside, there is an outdoor bar that is rarely open, and a tv out there too. Inside they have crappy cover bands on weekends playing oldies, and a full wrap around bar that makes pretty good drinks.

The food is pub food basically. That's what it is.  This place is full of Derry trash, I mean if I lived at the Frost Inn, I'd drink there too, stumble on home 5 feet without crossing any paths of traffic.  

But there are loud gross old men there constantly, reminding you that there really are white trash asses in Derry.  They're all here.  The staff is really nice though, and as I said, the food is fine.  

They also have car shows sometimes in Summer.

Seriously. Don't even bother! I came here because I heard stories about people getting DUI's leaving here, so I felt like I had to check it out, and so I did.
The waitresses/ Bartenders were kind enough and I did like them, but the patrons!??! Whew, that story is coming...
I only came here for a couple beahs. I took a peek at the menu and they had many sandwich style options for under $10 and entrees for around $18 a piece. I asked a patron how the food was and he told me it was great. I talked to him for a while about this and that. He was friendly.
THEN... I went to the restroom and came out to find some portly skeezy woman waiting for me. She proceeded to corner me, point in my face, and admonish me about how "rude" I was and how "insulting" i was about the food. She called me terrible names and pretty much scared the crap outta me and I did nothing wrong. I swear I wasn't rude.
She was awfully drunk and left after our encounter.
I won't be back.. forget about it. Not with scumbags like that hanging around the bar.

We drove around looking for this place for 30 minutes.  We walked into the restaurant to find a private party - always fun to intrude on someone's party, would it keep them to have a sign up? - so we had to go upstairs to the bar.  All the tables are hightops, which cannot accommodate the highchair for our 10-month-old so we had to eat on the deck even though it was really too windy.  

We had to seek our own menus and then when we did order, the food took 40 minutes to arrive.  The table was too dirty to feed the baby.  The steak bomb was so bad my husband couldn't eat it - and the guy eats everything.  When the waitress put my salad down she spilled dressing on my pants - no apology.  Then it took five tries to signal a waitron to bring our check.

We rarely eat out so this was really disappointing.
