Parking could be confusing if you come in for a lunch service. The name is misleading. Not very Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit at all. A few toys along the wall and menu items named after places or characters but that's it. Disappointed. Food was ok. Price was ok.

Very cozy atmosphere and excellent food with a wide variety of menu options. The drinks are fantastic too! It’s not super well known in the area but it’s definitely a hidden gem. The staff is wonderful and very welcoming.

Very disappointed. Had nice memories from several years ago. Salmon was prepared wrong, second time it was just cold. Not to mention it was not even recognizably salmon. Sauce on the seared tuna was just bitter.

Went for valentines day and it was as lovely as ever. Been coming here since 1984 as a teenager, and now bringing my teenagers to enjoy it too.

We had a limited menu for valentines day; weiner schnitzel was amazing, the pasta was under seasoned. The drinks were very tasty! Little more expensive than we anticipated, but that may also be due to the holiday.

We were seated at a two top, by a very cold window. We immediately asked to be moved, as I couldn’t even remove my coat it was so cold. During our dinner, I watched two other couples get seated at that table, both of them asked to be moved eventually. My husband‘s steak dinner was good, but he mentioned it was kind of grayish inside, rather than seared hot and rare in the middle as he wanted. My crabcakes were super salty, almost inedible. I asked for bread three times, thinking it would help cut the salt, and it finally came when my husband was finished his dinner. I really should have sent my dinner back, but at this point, I just wanted to go home. All in all, it was a disappointing meal for the money we spent.

Bilbo Baggins is a friendly neighborhood Irish pub. The atmosphere is calm and the food is exceptional, especially for a pub. Prices are high but definitely worth it.

It was a quaint little place with great service, but the food was a little underwhelming. Monte Cristo was not a true Monte Cristo, the house dressing had a weird flavor, and the pasta plate had more veggies than pasta. Also, the ice tea had a bitter aftertaste, as if it was old.

We went for our son’s birthday. The food was very good and the service attentive; however, they appeared to be understaffed.
