10. Knuckle Heads Bar & Grill

On a recent Saturday night there wasn't too much of a wait but we decided to sit on the bar side. The tables are really small but we didn't want to wait. Service was friendly and it seems like this is a place a lot of locals visit. The prices were really reasonable and portion sizes large. I had a fish sandwich that was twice the size of the pop that it was on. A pop is a Portuguese roll. It was very fresh and came with a side of warm fries. It was a bargain for $6.99. My husband had swordfish and he said it was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is average but with the food and prices, it's worth a visit.

Good portions, good food and good service. Ordered Alentejana. Pork, fried potato, red pepper and little necks. Flavorful and filling. Pork was super tender. Wife ordered baked scrod or haddock with veggies. She ate every bit said was perfect. Definitely worth visiting. Burgers and fish and chips looked killer.

The Quahog Republic Whalers Tavern is located in the heart of the whaling district of historic New Bedford. We transformed this 1790's building to give a feel of a historic whaling tavern. Both a nautical and period feel. Very relaxed and great place to u

Pleasant well lit bar and waited upon tables. Good seafood. Freshly prepared.Great stuffed quahog, little necks on pasta Portugal style and a small? Monsta Lobster-roll. Didnât try any of the the many beers because of long drive ahead. Plan to be back as a rest stop to Airports. Etc in Rhode Island & Ct.

Location: Facing the waterfront, this place also has an outdoor patio on the side.Décor: Typical bar look with lots of wood and televisions. Not a lot of signage in the front to draw you in. It does not appear to be accessible either as guests need to climb some steps up from street level.Service: We found our server to be professional and helpful enough.Food: They have a good selection for wings and burgers. Some seafood items might also be a good choice such as the fish sandwich or fish tacos.Overall: If you are looking for solid pub fare, this seems to be a contender.

We popped in on a Saturday and luckily found seating at the bar around 6 pm. Met some wonderful locals touting the highlights of this wonderful city and restaurant. Highly recommend the hummus platter = bacon scallops (FRESHEST EVER) for a light dinner paired with Pulpit (IPA), Caprice (raspberry blonde ale) and Quick Eternity (west coast style IPA). Definitely plan on revisiting this quaint historic seaport town and Moby's in the near future.Thanks so much for stopping in and we're so glad you had a great time! Thanks for leaving a nice review! We hope to see you again, and there will be new beers for you to try next visit!Cheers!Michael WarrenGeneral Manager

We have always had good meals at Fathoms. We take a disabled friend there on a regular basis. The handicap accessability is excellent! My husband and our friend love the Fish and Chips with the beer batter. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Served with fries and fresh tasting cole slaw. Last night I had the broiled scallops and scrod caserole. While it was cooked just right I felt it could have used a few more scallops, it was mostly peices of scrod, I also thought the mixed vegetables were nondescript, boring and overcooked. But, over all it is good value for drinks, food, and great service.

3. The Black Whale

Reviewed By Carolyn M
I was reluctant to re-visit The Black Whale after the new owners had taken over. The reviews were not complimentary. I received a gift card to the restaurant, and after a day in Boston decided to stop by for drinks and appetizers. We sat at the bar, as the restaurant even at the early hour of 6PM had a 20 minute wait. Service was attentive, calamari and Thai chicken appetizer we ordered arrived promptly and were delicious. We also noticed the kitchen was efficient--dishes flying out, portions were not diminished and staff was responsive and attentive. I look forward to going back for dinner. Though the menus is slightly modified--more offerings--the restaurant was bustling. My only concern--with the events scheduled at the pier--there was limited parking. Otherwise, our experience was excellent.Good morning Carolyn, Glad you dined with us and you were pleasantly surprised. Overall the reviews have greatly improved as the guests realize this is not the old black whale - itâs something new and elevated. Business has been great. Happy to have you on board. Please be in touch, especially if we ever let you down! Thank you.

Visited on a Saturday about 6PM. Just beat the crowds. Initially seated upstairs in direct blinding sunlight. Moved.Room is somewhat noisy, but ok.Attentive, pleasant service (although one server had a curious sense of humor).Burger was thick, juicy, not so big. Fries were thin cut, a tad dry, salty.Salad was well received.
