I wanted to give praise. I called with less then a 24 hr notice for a 40 person bearvment dinner. They were able to offer us a buffet. They did amazing accommodating us. The chef was very personable and the place is kid friendly. The chicken parm was amazing. Freshly handbreaded. We all wanted to thank them. Especially Christmas time and it was a 3:30 seating. Highly recommend them. It is a bar scene but has seating for all families.

Yes, the name indicates an INN however it's a bar with great food. Although the place could use a little updating, they make up with great service and great food. Known for its Lobster feed, you can't get any fresher than from the lobster tanks in the back room of the kitchen. Background music provided with an internet jukebox. Also, has a pool table on premises.
