We had our rehearsal dinner at Rapscallion in April and had such a wonderful experience. We were able to utilize the bar space downstairs which had a great atmosphere. We wanted to keep it casual so we had a buffet with an assortment of apps, flatbreads, tacos and sandwiches. Everything was so delicious. The bar staff were amazing and the servers were so kind. We can’t wait to visit again!

Their beer and drinks are great, but their food is also top-notch. My husband doesn't drink, so I love that we can order takeout online. Decent prices and good portions. The pesto salad and chicken pesto wrap are my favorite!!! Tacos, Flatbreads and pretzels with beer cheese also a hit!

Starting my leaf peep tour in this quaint little town outside Springfield was smart. This area is what the tourists don't see: a working town in the heart of Massachusetts, nice people, and great food. The Mac'n'Cheese was a special item, but it should be on the regular menu, or it should at least stay for the autumn and winter months. The High Limb Cider truly rode the line of dry and sweet; it was a refreshing, crisp taste that left me wanting another pint (which I did get). If you're driving through or exploring this area, stop here for good food, good atmosphere, and good people

What a lovely experience. I came here with my sisters and husband for lunch and was just incredibly grateful to have found such an awesome location with such a great vibe. The food was great and it was nice to get to try different beverages. Everyone said that the homemade root beer was their favorite.

I rented the function room at Rapscallion for my son's rehearsal dinner. I was so happy with the service and the food. Everyone there was terrific to deal with. I wouldn't hesitate to go there again for a function. Thank you so much. You made things easy.
