Squire Ward's Public House

I want to love this place I really do. It is a fun little spot with great staff. There isn't a lot of space but they do have a beer guarden area if the weather is nice. This is the kind of place I seek out in a town, small, local, with a real sense of what it is. They have a bar with lots of options and maybe 4 booths and a long skinny table and that's it. Though they did also squeeze a nice shuffle board table in there and that is always fun. I have been a couple of times and each time people I have been with have gotten the pizza and they universally report good things about the pizza. They have a menu that also featured creative burgers and sandwiches. I have gotten burgers both times and unfortunately I have not loved them. The idea for really great burgers is there but the execution falls apart. The burgers both times have been charred beyond the point of pleasant to the point of a little burnt and bitter. And both burgers were intensely salty. Now I like salt more than anyone else I know, to the point we're friends and family give me grief about my salt intake and I'm the one saying these burgers are too much. The reason to go here is clearly the pizza, the beer selection, and the fantastic staff. But I wouldn't go there if I had a group of more than 4 just because of the space they have available.

Love the pizza and the atmosphere. The servers are always super friendly and fun and they play great music.

Great small town bar and grill! Tasty appetizers, yummy burgers, and the pizza is on point. Local brews on tap with a large selection of canned/bottled beer. Good service and good atmosphere!

As the only other poster said, I REALLY want to love this place. But their "award winning pizza" feels like frozen pizza. The staff is always very nice, but they can be slow and again, the food is just okay. Seward is a small town with very limited food options, I wanted to love this place (because I do enjoy Rue 6) but sadly I don't think I will go back if they don't make improvements.
