Fantastic new restaurant in Ipswich. Cozy atmosphere combined with warm comfort food. Easy casual dining made better by the waitresses great attitude and cheery demeanor. Our server was fun, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Definitely recommended if you're in the area and looking for a great quality but reasonably priced meal. Just opened for lunch too!

Second time was the charm. Nice experience. Friendly staff, decent menu. Baked haddock may have been slightly overcooked as it wad not quite tender, strong on the butter. Next visit will try the sandwiches. App wings were perfect.

Cozy restaurant & bar. Leather sofas in front of the fire to sit and enjoy a cocktail before eating. Reasonably priced and very tasty. I had their signature hotdog topped with chili and cheddar cheese. My friend had their lobster Mac N' Cheese that she said was delicious. The bartender makes a great cosmopolitan, too. Looking forward to returning with friends.

I have had the pleasure of dining several times at the Brown Dog. I love the atmosphere and especially sitting in front of the fireplace, watching football and visiting with friends over a cocktail and appetizer. The waitstaff are competent, funny and definitely add to your dining experience. The items that I have tried on the menu are excellent. I love the mussels! The fried oysters and flatbread pizza are also favorites. It is my new go to place.

Staff was very helpful but food was nothing special. Smaller place so very noisy when busy. All summed up a generic place.

A very good addition to the already fabulous Ipswich restaurant scene. Standard pub fare and simple entrees, at prices you would expect. Decent beverage selection.The atmosphere is what sets the Brown Dog apart from it's neighbors. Welcoming and cozy, especially the two couches in front of the fireplace. Nice place to go to relax with family or friends.

Really tasty food, sandwiches. VERY busy on a Sunday afternoon...took more than 1/2 hour to get sandwiches. Very well made and tasty ingredients, but still, a 1/2 hour wait is not a "quick" bite.
