We've eaten here many times before, and we always enjoyed the food, beer, and ambience. This time was a disappointment. I ordered Irish Stew, and the waiter returned and said the chef couldn't fulfill the order. Isn't it strange that an Irish Pub can't serve the signature dish of Irish Pubs? So I settled for a burger, not quite what I had wanted. It was a good burger, but I still was disappointed that I couldn't get the Irish Stew. The beer, Smithwicks, is one of my favorites, and they did have it on tap, and the tap didn't run dry, so the evening wasn't a total waste. If they had the Irish Stew I probably would have given a rating of four or five, depending on how good it was that evening.

Arrived early on Saturday to try the burgers at this comfortable destination with easy parking, comfortable booth or table seating and warm reception by the staff. The special promotion of half-price burgers did not disappoint our group. Being on a low-sodium regimen, I ordered my burger without bread, nor cheese nor salt but enjoyed a delicious fresh thick patty with portobello mushroom, sauteed onions, lettuce, tomato and crisp sweet potato fries and a garnish of shredded fried onions too!. What a treat when the wait staff and kitchen can prepare food to order and welcome substitutions without any complaints. Will tel others about this wide-ranging menu and enjoyable culinary experience!

This was my first time to this Irish pub which is at the back side of a strip mall making it hard to find. When I arrived just after 8:00pm, I found the place to be a ghost town. There were three to four people in the bar area and another five in the main dining room. The bar had live music and a nice wood lit fireplace. Their ceilings are retro tin panels. Overall it is a very nice place, with a second bar in the main dining room.I was started with a nice assortment of bread slices and butter. My appetizer was the fish and chips ($15) and entrée a cheeseburger ($13.25). The fish and chips were lacking more fish for the price point. The three 1âx3â pieces were tasty but very disappointing in quantity. The coleslaw that came with it was barely a teaspoon amount, so I asked for more. While I waited for more coleslaw I tasted what I had, and it was room temperature. The additional coleslaw was also room temperature, so I did not eat it. I asked to see the manager and told him I would not eat it because who knows how long it has been sitting out. He apologized and later I found took off the cost of my beer. The fries were limp and greasy. The cheeseburger was juicy and the substitute of veggies for fries was a mix of mushrooms, Brussels sprouts and sweet potato which did not work well together. The 8 to 10-ounce burger had a big slice of red onion and was overall very good.My order took a long time not sure why when the place was empty. Very frustrating at that time of night waiting to be served.Dear MrOcho,Thanks for your visiting us and for taking the time to write your review.

Went for lunch.EXCELLENT golden margaritas! EXCELLENT duck tacos! EXCELLENT salsa! Awful tortilla chips. Thick, more like crackers. No flavor, no detectable salt. My husband had the Torta de Chicken (sic)Milanese and was rather disappointed. Huge, thick, white bread bun encasing some pretty good fillings, served with a giant side of French fries. Way too much carb. Blood glucose sugar express!!!Service was excellent across the board, will definitely be back.
