We had reservations for 4pm on Saturday. There were 16 of us in all and they made us wait until everyone was there before sitting us. I guess if thats the "policy" than whatever, but youd think the table for 16 will be cleared for at least 1/2 an hour before the reservation even starts, so it irked me a little that we had to wait in the relatively small waiting area with my fiances elderly grandparents. I thought the decor was...interesting. The dark-stained tables and dividers were really beautiful, but the light fixtures looked like they came from IKEA. I love me some IKEA, but it didnt really fit. I expected something a little more rustic, I guess. The decor doesnt take away from the overall experience, I just thought Id share. Once we sat down, our waitress was friendly and mostly attentive. I had to remind her to bring my second round, but Ill give her a break since it was a large party. The food was exceptional. The onion rings were SOOO good. I got the mussels over linguini with red sauce. It was the first time Id ever ordered mussels at a restaurant and they were freakin delicious. Plus, the portion was HUGE. I considered ordering a 1/2 portion, but I was afraid there wouldnt be many mussels to begin with. WRONG. I think we estimated somewhere between 35 and 40 of them on my plate. In hindsight, I wish I would have counted or taken a picture, but I was so excited, as soon as the food came I started shoveling. The red sauce was really tasty, too. Perfectly seasoned with a hint of spice. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. The only thing I didnt really like were the deep fried croutons on the side salads. I found them to be really oily and gross. Just writing this review is making my stomach growl. Mmm!

Excellent food. Filet was PERFECT as were the shrimp!! The service was ATROCIOUS. Servers NEED training & was surprised the attitudes werent customer centric. No pepper on the table for the salad (no beets, please) & filet. Never asked. I had to get up and get pepper from another table. She didnt ask if I wanted sour cream for my baked potato. It didnt come with it, so I had to get up and ask another server across the room, if she would please get me SC. She was just standing there & made it seem like I was being intrusive. Then the roast beef sandwich came up. The server never asked if we wanted au jus. She walked away. Then, again, I had to get up & ask another server for au jus. What? Thats just a LACK of care for the customer. It was absolutely pathetic. They dont know what the action word "TEAMWORK means & thats a reflection on the management. You have to stress that or it wont happen. It didnt happen. Its like theyre so comfy in their position that theyre like "who cares? Just another day at the restaurant." The servers I had to talk to were all just frumpy. No smiles. No, "sure Ill get that for you". Nothing. There was 1 other issue but this review is long enough. The servers are definitely complacent and need full blown customer service TRAINING as theres NO WAY theyve ever received any. Sorry if I"m being a bit rude but this isnt hyperbole, just a note to help Erin Pub improve the service. The filet, shrimp & baked potato were EXCELLENT!

First time there last night. My mom and her husband took me after a bad/sad day. The first thing I noticed was that this place has 2 dedicated parking lots, so I automatically assumed they must get mobbed. Regardless, everything was excellent. My mom and her husband both had said theyve been going for years and when I asked if it was safe to order seafood, they laughed and insisted on it. I was shocked at how delicious the food was, the size of the portions(monster- I ALWAYS eat my whole plate and had to box my leftovers this time), and the reasonable prices, considering Id never been there. I got the 7 seas soup, fried flounder , and bread pudding. Family ordered king crab legs and fried shrimp, and the clams on half shell. Everything was bomb. Check this spot out if youre in delco.

Best local Steak and Seafood restaurant in that neck of Delco. Proper pints of Guinness are poured. Menu is full of selections but not overly cluttered. The pick-two dinner combos and early bird specials are awesome. My favorite is "The King and I." King Crab legs with a Filet Mignon. Or have them substitute a queen cut prime rib if you want a little more quantity over quality. Same goes for their seafood combos. If you dont like one item, theyll let you skip it and double up on another. Fast service, good portions, and outstanding prices. But be warned: Very busy at peak hours.

Usually come here without a problem. Our server didnt even tell us her name, then contunied to ask us 4 times in a 10 minute span if we were ready for our dinner order (had JUST given her our appetizer order). I eventually had to tell her I would let her know when we were ready because it was becoming so disruptive, and seemily out of spite when she dropped our apps off she asked again. Terrible service. Shrimp lejon was amazing though props to the chef! *EDIT* how thorough can she be if she cant even inform me who she is during her greet?

Food is always great when I go. Seafood is always fresh and well prepared, prime rib is the best around, and they have the best prices in the area. Sometimes you have to wait in line but if you dont like to they take reservations. Decor is a bit dated but its an old school Irish Pub. I always find its clean and well maintained when I visit. If you want fancy go to Bryn Marr or Wayne. To the poster that called it dark and dirty Im not sure where you were sitting, its a pub so its going to be dim, like the bulb in your head..

First time the food and service was awesome. The second time we had a rude blonde waitress that rolled her eyes at us not once by THREE times! After being seated she asked if we were ready and before we could answer she rolled her eyes and went to the other table. We are an interracial couple and i the only black person there. The waitress was completely friendly to the all white table right next to us. Unsurprisingly she was all smiles come tipping time. Can you guess what we tipped her? XD

I have been patroning this restruant since my parents brought me their as a kid. The food is excellent and the portions are incredible (the king cut prime rib cannot be matched). Although the seating may be tight at times, this is often a nonissue. The wait staff is welcoming and friendly, making my visits as good as the last one. Sufficed to say, this restruant is my favorite in lower Delaware county, so good I purchased a home within a stonesthrow of it!

Food is good and reasonably priced. Went on a Friday night and it was crowded but the wait was short. Portions are large and staff was friendly. We did have to cut short the dinner due to the room temperature. It was freezing in there. Very uncomfortable. Wouldve given 5 stars but we were so cold sitting there we couldnt wait to get home. Dont let that stop you from going though, we hope it will be remedied the next time we go so we can continue to go.
