This Welsh pub definitely has that old charm. It's interesting how it all used to be a bank back in the day!
We sat down on a slow Monday Afternoon and I don't know why this place really deserves bad reviews. Perhaps dinner rush and more than 4 people per table can make people get anxious and turn their heads, but what I got, service and all, was phenomenal.
Pub chips didn't crack my teeth and were crisp with a soft, satisfying crunch. It was served with a lovely pepper cheese that was melty and addicting.
Fish and Chips were flaky, moist, and the tartar sauce can be a bit on the mustardy side, but, it was well worth it. The thick cut fries, too, were crisp and seasoned to perfection, not burnt at all.
The Shepherd's Pie, however, was the star of the show. Savory Mushroom sherry gravy tops this heavy monstrosity with buttery mashed potatoes and a nicely seasoned tomato ground beef mixture. Super comforting.
The only thing that I didn't really like was the condiments on the table were sticky and felt extremely dirty. The seats too had a bit of a stick, which could be from the humidity, but, definitely, cleanliness needs to be looked at more. It's best if you visit on a slow weekday or happy hour. Delicious.

Love this pub. Great service. Atmosphere is excellent and offers indoor and patio seating. Food was delish and lots of options! I had the fish and crisps, and love their homemade tartar sauce. Not pictured my husband had a grilled cheese with bacon and love it!

Ordered the pub pickles. There was half a salad underneath to make it look bigger. Ended up getting about 14 pickle slices for $11.
Had ordered the same thing last week and there wasn't any lettuce and way more pickles.
The waitress was very nice.

Great, rustic atmosphere (it was originally a bank, apparently) that includes an interesting outdoor area. Jack went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and taken care of. We would definitely return.

The only thing nice here is the Atmosphere, it truly is a great space. Though the quality of service, cleanliness and price of food here did not make for a great experience. I was looking forward to the Famous Steak and Cheese sandwich ( Not the same Sandwich from 5 years ago ) and some appetizers. Took about 45 minutes to get some pub pretzels and 15 minutes to get our drinks. We had to ask for utensils and when they arrived and unwrapped each was coated in grime. We should of said something then and there and left. I politely asked for another set of new utensils ( all five ) and she assured us the new ones would be clean. They were not much better. The fries and chips were pretty much burnt and steak had tough hard pieces of dirty grill grime. Not sure what happened here. This was hands down the worst experience I've had in years. Llewellyn's is not the same place it used to be. The food isn't the same and sure ownership is not either. Family of five cost well over 140 after tip. I didn't want to make a scene as others were celebrating but should of.
