I think Ladd's is great. I love their food, but their Fish & Chips is the best! Nice thick piece of fish and a great light, crispy, batter. They're very accomodating in substituting sides. I can't say enough good things about them.

We stumbled upon Ladd's Restaurant by chance a year ago during a leisurely Sunday drive, and it was such a pleasant surprise that we decided to return a few weeks ago. My husband and I love exploring new, unique restaurants and tend to steer clear of big chains, so Ladd's was right up our alley. While the main dining area might look a bit outdated, the bar area is an absolute gem. It has a fun, lively atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. The bartenders are incredibly friendly and welcoming—they have a way of making you feel like a regular even if it’s your first visit. This last time, I tried the chicken broccoli alfredo, and it was amazing! The portion was so generous that it lasted me for three days of delicious lunches. Every bite was creamy and flavorful—comfort food at its finest. Ladd's has become one of those hidden treasures we’ll keep coming back to. If you're looking for a place with great food, friendly service, and a bar vibe that feels like home, definitely check it out!

It was very welcoming but a little busy for us in the bar/dining area tonight. So my honey sat in the huge quieter dining room to the left so we could relax & recap our day apart. (Rainy) - sp-Rene - was our server & she was fab-u-lous! We started with the small crock of French onion soup , & some soft warm buns..mmmm Then had the grilled lemon swordfish w a baked potato & butternut squash_ muh honey had the fish & chips (again) lol *he puts malt vinegar on the best steak fries Ever....Who does that? #UhmHeDoes&TheyAreAwesome !heh I do have to say that we have only been there 2xs inside & (take-out 1x) We really have been nothing but happy with our food , the friendly atmosphere , the prices & the outstanding service. Cannot wait till' next time to try something new.. (My boo is gonna get the fish & Chips again- pretty sure) Oh but the desserts... OhMylanta _ I was full but I had to try the Strawberry waffle shortcake thingy ... a definite "must try"! So yum! Thanks again Rene! You were a huge help in helping us decide on a great meal and a wonderful relaxing evening. (Oh - won 10 on my Keno too)

First time at this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. I had the king cut prime rib. Best prime rib I've had for a long time! Au jue and spice was good. Our server Aaron was awesome! The prices are very reasonable. We will definitely be back.

Have heard amazing things about this establishment from my sister who lives nearby. Today was my first time eating here. Came for the gathering for friends and family of a dear friend that recently passed away. We were the last to arrive and we were pleased at how easily the staff adjusted seating so as to accommodate our needs. My husband uses a wheelchair and walker. Also, they were awesome about adjusting menu offerings to his dietary needs. The food was soooo good! My husband's PCA and I chose the prime rib (I had 2 baked potatoes, she had rice pilaf and broccoli) and my husband chose to have the chicken parmesean over rice instead of pasta. The third option for the attendees was baked haddock and everyone that got that seemed pleased by their choice as well.
