Scuttlebutts

Very good Fish & Chips. Friday is AYCE for $ 12.99 or a la carte for $ 9.99 (plenty big). Chicken Parmesan last week was delicious and huge portions. Chicken Alfredo also great. The «former» chef is back and the food quality has really picked up. We have been going here for many years and food & servers are great.

Poor service, poor preparation of food, food cold when delivered to the table. Calzone dough was raw and didn’t even look like it was put in the oven. Fries were cold. A plate of shrimp and fries for 16 bucks? Really, who are you trying to emulate as your food doesn’t have any business being served at those prices. You are not an upscale restaurant and your rating of an S shows that.

Once upon a time, we sat in Scuttlebutt’s for dinner. It was not memorable, with the exception of the owner giving us a loaf of homemade bread at the end of the night.
Fast forward 10 or so years. Nearly forgotten, we decided to order to go, and try our luck. Ordering over the phone was atrocious. I felt like either someone had something going on in the background, or he was just disinterested.
I get there to pick up my meal. One half-​drunk old dude in the restaurant. No one else. My order is not ready, so I wait, striking up casual conversation with the staff and the stool pigeon. My order is ready. Only, it’s not. I’m missing items. They now must be cooked. I wait some more.
I finally get home with dinner. Every. Frickin. Thing. Was. Burnt. No joke! Clamdigger sandwiches, burnt clamstrips and nothing else in a roll. Calamari, burnt. Mozzarella sticks, burnt. So disappointed. We will not return.

Had and excellent dinner here this evening. Everyone was very happy with their meal. It was our first time to eat here and definitely not the last. Nice to have an Italian restaurant right on the trail in AJ. Their food portions are huge. You will be taking some leftovers home. Then for dessert we had the chocolate mousse cake (the best ever) and the strawberry swirl cheesecake. Amazing!!!

Great Italian and seafood. Cozy inside, they are always busy when they’re open because the food is great. Attentive servers, clean dining room and good size portions. We had an excellent meal and were glad we finally stopped and tried the food– now I wish we had done it sooner!

Would have gone back to try more of their food, but did not feel welcomed AT ALL by the waitress. Hubby’s (Nam’s) review pretty much says it all. Except I didn’t think our appetizers really took THAT long to come out. Shame that our experience was like that, but Handlebar’s is just down the road and our experience there was light years better.

«Worst service ever. Not sure if waitress hates Asians or if Nam said something to piss her off… but never going back to Scuttlebutts.»
So mad at this place won’t even try to be original or funny and just copy paste my wife’s tweet. I’ve bookmarked this place to try for years and should’ve seen the rating drop as a sign to go somewhere else. First impressions were good– converted house restaurant, tasty sounding items on menu. 2^nd impression was not so good as I peeked under the table and saw a pizza spatula near the base of the table in the booth. No matter; they had 2 servers on a busy Friday night. Understood being told to sit anywhere by a friendly lady (God I wish she had been our server) and waiting awhile.
Didn’t understand immediate attitude of new server Sandy/​Sharon/​something. Walks up, then walks away a bit to yawn for a good 5 seconds. Okay, fine. Tell her what we want to drink, order some apps, but we want to hold on to the menu if we will order later. Sullenly walks away.
Returns with drinks promptly. Appetizers arrive not so promptly. Clam chowder was full bodied, creamy chowder stocked with tons of seafood but surprisingly little flavor. Conversely the lobster/​crab chowder had almost no seafood, but flavor of the broth was rich. If they’dve dumped the contents of the clam chowder in the lobster chowder that would’ve been an awesome soup. Fried green bean fries were delicious. Mini raviolis were extremely tough on the outside, and seemed of the frozen + over nuked variety.
Remember how I said I wanted to hold on to the menu in case I wanted something later? I had overheard our waitress tell every other customer about their all you can eat fish + chips special and was tempted. Alas our server came by and dropped off the check and scurried away quickly. Thwarted. Maybe they made a great tiramisu. I ask our server and she informs me its pre-​made and shipped in. Well then.
I’ve never regretted leaving a tip so much in my life.

We ordered the fish and chips and the chicken fritters to go. Took an hour to get our food after they said it would be ready in 30 min. The food was terrible! We couldn’t even eat it. Undercooked and overpriced. We won’t be going back.

Friendly mom and pop place with delicious food! If I wasn’t so broke all the time I would eat here more 1000 times better then cobbs down the street!

Very friendly service, pretty good food and reasonable prices. This place looks odd on the outside, but much nicer inside. Fresh baked bread and nice dessert selections. Go for it, you won’t be disappointed.

The «Moby Dick» fish sandwich was a joke. I guess they get their «filet of pollock» from the same place as McDonalds. It seemed to irritate the manager when we had to look for them to get our check.

Their pizzas are good!
MUCH better than the crap you get at Little Ceasers/​Pizza hut/​Dominos/​etc.. .

At first when you walk into the front door (once you find it), you see the space is small and obviously a house converted to a quaint restaurant. One of those places that it’s a hit or a big miss — we were pleasantly surprised! The service was prompt, friendly, and not pushy. The food was delicious. We had Caesar and house spring green salads, both were fresh & crisp. The meal was served with warm homemade Italian bread. We had wings, and two types of ravioli: lobster & portobello. Everything was wonderful! I’d recommend trying this place out for yourself!

We really enjoy Scuttlebutt’s and they make great Italian dishes and great pizza. The wait staff was friendly and accommodating and the food was hot and delicious. I would really recommend them. Don’t be deceived by the building. It ‘s great food.

Good food, good service. Little pricey. Good place to go. The outside of the small building was a little run down. But don’t let that discourage you. I would love to go there again some day!!!

Love this place-​we go EVERY Wednesday for the Spaghetti Special. The sauce is the greatest! The pizza is good too-​that is our Sat night choice, and in between my favorite is the Life Raft. All the personnel are great, and Donna is special!

Despite the awkward name, mixup décor and split seafood/​pizza menu («pizzafish») it was a pleasent experience. Had the all the can eat fish fry, all throught the server was hesitant to refill our fish at each request it was tastey. The restaurant could have been cleaner and I could see how people would be hesitant to eat here– but I’m not too picky.

My dad took me here the other day and when we pulled up I was like wtf? The building doesn’t look appealing at all so I was thinking that the food will not be good at all. To my amazement I was wrong. We had the calamari appetizer and the all you can eat fish and chips. The calamari was actually pretty damn good, and the fish was also pretty damn good. I’m not a cole slaw fan, but there’s was awesome! There was a special of haddock parmesan. One I have never even heard of that and two, that doesn’t even sound appetizing in the least bit. I didn’t try it so I can’t review that. I’m actually intrigued to go back and try the other dishes that they offer. I mean you don’t think of Apache Junction of a dining destination, but this place was pretty damn good!

We went for dinner July 16^th for birthday dinner. There was 4 of us we arrived at about 7:40 sat down And were promptly waited on
Beer and wine only at this place but a good selection. The food when delivered was amazing! The best Italian I have had since moving from NY
We didn’t realize that they closed at 8:00pm they never rushed us or made us feel unwelcome
Great place that we will be back to for sure!

We went there today for the all you eat cod for $ 9.95 it came with fries and cole slaw. I really liked the cole slaw good flaver. The fish had a great flavor but too bad the coating was quite greasy. Was ok if you blotted it lots of napkins. The portions were nice size and even better since it was all you can eat. Will probably try it again.
