Our waitress was just the absolute sweetest, very nice and polite and always around when we needed her. I got the colcannon soup. My mother got a Rueben sandwich with potato chips and the soup du jour, a pulled pork vegetable soup. My father got a bacon blue cheese salad and calamari. We all shared a pile o potatoes fry platter (fries with cheese, bacon and scallions.) The colcannon soup was seriously the most delicious soup Ive ever had at any restaurant. I brought some home and reheated it and its still delicious! For those that dont know, colcannon is a potato soup with leeks and cabbage. Im definitely NOT a cabbage person, and this soup was delicious. My mothers Rueben sandwich looked very good. The meat was really piled on there and looked like good quality. The only downside to the sandwich was that it fell apart very easily (although my dad said that thats usually a sign that its good. Not sure how.) Her potato chips were super super good. Theyre clearly homemade and very lightly salted. I crumbled some up into my soup and they added a great crunch. Unfortunately, the pulled pork soup was pretty nasty. My mother took a bite and immediately pushed it away. She can be a little picky, so I decided to try it. Something about it just tasted strange. It wasnt salty or spicy or anything, but I felt it had almost a strong cilantro-type flavor to it. I definitely didnt like that. My fathers salad looked great, really good quality blue cheese and real crumbled bacon bits. The vegetables looked fresh and crisp, the lettuce wasnt wilted or brown at all. The calamari was a close second to being my favorite of the evening. Super crisp and crunchy, not chewy at all, and great flavor in the breading. I wish I had ordered mine without the jalapenos and peppers, personally, but thats a preference. The cheese fries were absolutely delicious. Even without all the toppings, I would have gladly eaten an entire plate of the fries. They were just lightly salted and the only ones that were ever limp or soggy were totally drenched in cheese. The only thing that I noticed, only after we had eaten, was that ours came topped with what looked like parsley instead of scallions. A minor change, and one that didnt make a big difference, but I did notice afterwards. The entire atmosphere of the place is really just amazing. The pub is beautiful and all the servers were very friendly and open. I love the uniforms, theyre so classic Irish (kilts, knee-highs, and aprons). I do have to remark on the prices as well! The most expensive thing on the entire menu was $16 dollars, and that was for a grilled salmon dish. Everything else was very reasonably priced and our only disappointment of the night was my mothers soup. I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner there, and Im actually going back Tuesday for my graduation dinner. I really cant wait! 4/5 stars

Worst experience ever, they took advantage of me and my friend by padding our bill during happy hour to the sum of $96.50 spoke with manager who was no help at all. Went back next day spoke with another manager about the issue. Drinks were supposed to be $4.00 bartender Colleen never informed us there was a price difference for her so called Skype cosmos of $2.00 additional then when manager George calls back to inform me that his boss said there was nothing they could. That Colleen claims she informed us of the price difference, that we ordered anyway and that we order additional drinks after happy hour. That we were feeling pretty good. Well if that is the case why is it that I remember every charge on the printed receipt to the very penny? They are crooks and I will never go there again and will never recommend them. Beware and pay close attention dont run a tab pay as you go or you may become a victim to their unsavory business practices.

The food was good, but this is definitely not somewhere I feel safe. I was visiting for a friends birthday and a man at the table next to ours threw a glass at his wife, making her bleed. Some of our table instinctively turned around (what usually happens when you hear glass break) and the man screamed and cursed at our table, threatening us. His friend had to restrain him to keep him from charging at our table. Security and a manager came over, then left, with basically no conversation, besides the clearly intoxicated man telling the manager he "appreciates" him. The glass was not cleaned up for at least 15 minutes, and the entire table was allowed to stay there. There was children at his table and at the surrounding tables. Our table was very uncomfortable for the rest of our stay, which was not much longer after this incident. Im definitely not comfortable to go back to this place.

Went there for their AYCE Crabs (on Tuesdays) with the fam. Was not disappointed. Staff is unbelievably nice! Super friendly and attentive. Brew selection is fantastic! Crabs were big and hot! The wife got apps and wings. Sauces were tasty. Been there on other nights, Wednesday they had some weird loud DJ. It might have been trivia. Totally doesnt fit the motif. Too loud and did not fit the crowd that was patronizing the estblishment. Its like they were TRYING to attract a 20-something crowd, but were ignoring the patrons that they did have. Still... Food and Beer was spot on and ALL the staff was/is super friendly... Its a shame we couldnt stay longer, but we couldnt even hold a conversation because of the DJ.

Me and my husband like to try different places for St Pattys day. While you wait for a table, after you put your name in with the hostess who is a 21 yo kid along with other young kids running this place. they seat 5 other tables before you. After you were told you were next, mind you the place is wide open you can see them doing it in front of you. then when you approach them you get 3 different excuses. Also there is no bouncer there for people who get out of line. The owner handles it himself right in front of you... Little does he know 3 other couples walked out after that. Mind you so did we. There are to many Irish Pubs in our area that are GREAT. GO TO THEM THIS PLACE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS.

If you want good service dont come here. Id been there about 3 or 4 times over the last few months but never again. The first time was just "okay" and the rest never panned out. The food was moderate, but the servers are so snarky and unattentive. They talk about customers in front of other customers, the one blonde tried talking down to my wife and I and that was it. Paid our single drink that took 15 minutes to get, left, and never came back. They have one night manager who is clueless, tried to speak with him and he could care less. They just flat out do not understand customer service. I will never spend another dollar there and Im happy to spend 10 minutes warning you.

Some of the best wings around but they need to fix their beer situation. About 2 years ago, when they first opened in the summer of 2015 the beer list was phenomenal and had a great mix. Now they really have started to only cater to the IPA crowd. I get that IPAs sell so keep carrying them but get back to having a better variety. so youre not only catering to that crowd. Seriously though those Big Dawg wings are great. I also cant believe that Fat Tire was served in a 13 oz glass as that thats an incredibly common beer thats not that strong to be served in a 13 oz glass although I heard they fixed that and put it into a rightful pint.
