Last Straw Ale House

As a neighborhood pub this place is great. Lots if variety in both food and drink. I frequent this place 2 to 3 times a week for a glass of wine and the daily specials. The service staff are great and they get to know the regulars. Food is good and serving sizes are large. Sometimes consistency is an issue. It is a pub so expect pub décor. Overall a really good neighborhood pub.

Brought my son here the other night. We ordered the nachos and chicken wings. They were excellent but not really a good value. The prices are high for the portion you get. Our server was attentive. This place needs some help as far as updating. It was not too busy so I think that helped with the service.

I was surprised by the other reviews. I think they’ve upped their game since then: my wife and I go to this pub fairly regularly and always enjoy our time.
I have discovered their soups are excellent, and always order a bowl of their soup to go along with a sandwich or burger. The food has always been top-​notch. The ambiance is warm and friendly, and the servers always polite and helpful.
There are enough TVs around, so if you want to catch whatever game is on, you’ve got lots of opportunity.
I recommend the place if you find yourself hungry and thirsty in Tuscany. Try their soup!

I have been going to this pub occasionally for years. In the past I have been disappointed with the food and level of service. I have been there twice in the last month for food and drinks. Both times the food and service were very good. Things seem to have changed for the better. An appetizer, two dinners, four drinks and the bill was $ 70.

Pub is outdated, rundown. Desperate need of a facelift. Patio is ok and I would spend more time out there, but the tables and chairs are horrible. Cheapest plastic stuff you get at walmart. At least put in some effort if you want to bring this place to a better level. Food is just OK for a pub. Don’t expect amazing food here, but it would be much better if they actually used fresh ingredients instead of most stuff being frozen. They have a stranglehold on the market because there is no real competition in close proximity and this really shows in the lack of attention and bad service.

Stopped by today for a bite, figured this would be a nice place to get a snack and for sure a couple of drinks. It was 4pm and although not quite dinner time I did not see anyone eating. Just… drinking and it was not busy at all. Not a bad interior. The patio we found to be OK and then moved inside due to rain.
Ordered some Rangoons (oriental style fried dumplings with a ‘spicy’ (not so much) jalapeño filling. They were ok, would not get them again.
They have a special list of about 6 appies you can get 3−6pm daily but the prices are not that special, still high averaging $ 12 for a small plate of appetizer food.
Pints of Canadian and Coors Lite were on special. The beer was cold, muy importante!
Saturday is steak night where you can save $ 2.50 on your 8oz steak meal — this looked tempting at first and then we just left, uninterested due to what we had already had and the lack of everyone else eating.
We will come back perhaps to try something else (Wing Nite Wed!) but today just was not the day.
Service was good, attentive. They needed to change the Pearl Jam CD though — that was getting old!

3.5 STARS. Well, I guess some of the staff have read the reviews here. The service I experienced was first-​class — attentive, prompt, courteous and hometown friendly. The food is good. The portions are average. The prices are what you would expect. The décor is dark and pub like. The wood trim looks good! I will return!

The Final Straw — To echo the sentiments of the former reviewers. Yes, there is nothing else in the area, so this suffices as the neighborhood pub. That, however, doesn’t justify everything that’s wrong with Last Straw. Unfortunately, the food is mediocre, prices are high, & ambiance & service a little lacking. With your local watering hole, you go mainly because it’s within stumbling distance of your abode. You’re better off, however, to buck up for a cab and venture out of this «hood» and find a not so local haunt to hunker down in.

The Last Straw Ale House. Well, that’s quite a mouthful. Herein referred to simply as ‘Tuscany Pub,’ which is what I know it as among my friends. Having a couple of friends who live in Tuscany, there isn’t much else to choose from if you don’t want to venture far from home.
I suppose that’s why it’s a somewhat good pub to go to. I mean, the food isn’t really that great. I tried the «Straw Burger» with mushrooms, bacon and cheese, but I was sad to find that my mushrooms were’ cooked through and the bacon was very cold. The bun itself was a little crunchy too. Needless to say, I didn’t finish it all.
Not only that, but I think that, since they’re the only pub close by, they may overcharge you. I mean, a bottle of Jackson Triggs Merlot for $ 46? Talk about a 100% mark-​up. And almost $ 14 for a chicken sandwich. Perhaps I’ll just stick with my beer at the Tuscany Pub.
I know the locals of Tuscany don’t have much to choose from, so Tuscany Pub really is a locals place. I’d probably go there lots too if I had nowhere else to visit. Poor people of Tuscany… I feel for you!
