Stonewood Tavern Peabody

Last time I went to Stonewood Tavern in Peabody was for their AYCE Fish & Chips on Wednesdays. This was kind of wasted on me since I was done after the first plate. They now have a Groupon+ for 20% off, so it was time to return. Using a debit card doesn't seem to work even if it was run as a CC. A CC didn't work either.

A big parking lot and a nice patio.

The inside is nice and bright with a big bar. There is a dining room to the right.

I started with a cup of TAVERN STEAK CHILI ($4). "Chunks of slow cooked tender beef in chili spices topped with cheddar jack cheese, sour cream & green onion. Add tortilla chips $1". Well, the cheese didn't make it, and I forgot to tell them to hold the sour cream. The chili had chunks of beef and chunks of tomato and tasted mildly of chili. Linen napkins and good silverware.

The AYCE deal is gone, but they still have the FISH & CHIPS ($10) on the lunch menu. "Fried Atlantic haddock served with fries, coleslaw and tarter sauce". Their spelling. They had quite a few lunch items for $10 that also included soda or coffee. I was offered neither. The fries are excellent and had been seasoned when they come out of the fryolator. The fish had a very light batter and was cooked really well with the fish still being moist and flaky. The tartar sauce was tasty but light on content. The slaw was Ok, but it was dry. The service was impersonal, I only got my water refilled at the end of the meal.
