It's been years since I was at the Half Penny. A group of us went there on St Patrick's Day and really enjoyed our experience! It was *very* busy, so we waited patiently and eventually got a table. We ordered food, had drinks, and enjoyed the band and bagpipers. The owner is friendly, and spirited! She and the staff took care of that busy St Patrick's Day crowd including people who had to wait to get seated. We've been back twice since then, once for lunch, and once for breakfast!

The staff are friendly and the place is wonderful, especially for the the more mature crowd.Saturday night bands are always a hit also.Many specials throughout the week?

I've never had a bad time at The Half Penny. The food and drinks are always good, the atmosphere is laid back but not divey, and the staff seem like they're actually happy to be there. Would recommend anytime!

This has been a consistent morning stop for my bestie and I to have breakfast before setting sale in Salem for "treasure hunting." Sometimes the service is slower, but super nice!

We went because we were stuck on that side of town. Had the prime rib. Good flavor. Tender. Sides were mediocre. Mac and cheese was decent. Had moz sticks, nothing special there. The atmosphere was loud. Service was attentive. If you live on that side of town it's worth a visit. But I wouldn't drive much farther than 10 or 15 minutes for it lol. I left satisfied, but would have enjoyed the Roadhouse better.

The food is better than average, and the staff are great! A more balanced choice of beers would make it five stars. Very good nonetheless!!
