Old Man Rafferty's - Hillsborough

Earlier one of our favorite restaurants when we lived in the area years ago. Now that we're back, there's a good chance it'll be back. The new menu has some wonderful elements, the ever spectacular deserts are even more amazing, as individual cakes and our dinner was fantastic. Servers were clear!!! Thank you for making it a big anniversary dinner!

For lunch had the seared Ahi Tuna in greens salad that was fresh and tasty, a few craft beers, and nice chat with the bartender. Quite a spacious place and an attractive outdoor seating area. Conversations between servers and patrons leads me to believe this is a favorite place for the locals. Only ask, if they haven't explored already, offer a larger variety of craft beers especially from local breweries.

I got a 50 yesterday. Birthday party here. The staff was very attentive and helpful, especially our server Lauren. She was absolutely amazing with a party of 25 people. She was at the top of all the needs, gave suggestions for guests who were uncertain what to get meals, and was a professional in the direction where meals went as they came out. She was so good that one of the kids asked where she was to make sure she could say goodbye before she left. Food was excellent, atmosphere was welcoming, and we will definitely be back in the future.

Great local business with ties to the community. The food is great with a well thought out menu, and the people are awesome. Our waitress Rachel was amazing, never wrote down a thing but got our order perfect. Will continue to come back again and again.

Large yet cozy decor. Dining area on one side the bar on the other with large outdoor dining area available from the time of the pandemic. The Cosmo cocktail inspired a Fig Cosmo, was good but a slightly too sweet for me. The Best of the Wurst was very solid, the sautéed apple slices mixed with the beetroot and cabbage were an excellent garnish. The ahi tuna salad was amazing. A generous portion with wide variety of greens, including green beans and the dressing made the tuna just right. The ahi tuna was seared just right, pink on the inside, slightly smoky with sesame seeds on the outside. Uncommon food for a seemingly common bar restaurant. Bravo.
