Have been so disappointed with McGradys this winter. Service is hit or miss. Food has mostly been a miss.Gave them another try now that things are settling down. Nope! Sat at the bar, bartender was in a horrible mood. Ordered an app that was delivered by kitchen staff. When we asked for plates, forks, napkins we were told that our bartender would take care of it. Yeah, right! He was in no hurry and our food was even colder by the time he set us up.Not re-upping my mug club in the fall!So disappointed ?

We took a group of 24 here on Saturday night before Easter Sunday. We were given a room to ourselves. Even though they were busy, and Sawgrass Grove was busy, we had great service at McGrady‘s. It’s impossible for me to list what 24 people had to eat, but I can say all plates were empty when we finished. My only complaint and most of our party, was that the music is piped into the room. The music from the band playing in Sawgrass Grove. So it made it a challenge to have conversation at some points. However, when I mentioned that to the manager at the end, he told me it didn’t have to be piped in. Evidently they can turn it off. I would highly recommend this restaurant for dinner. We had made a reservation. And we did get to our tables at the time of our reservation.

The place was probably at 50% capacity.Asked for a booth, the person acted like we were asking for the world.They needed to get glasses, silverware & napkins.Service, the lady was nice and did a good job.Food, I had the Cajan Chicken Sandwich. Absolutely the smallest chicken breast I have ever seen. Served is a hamburger bun and the breast could not even cover the bread. Taste was ok. My wife had the Grill Corned Beef Sandwich. She enjoyed it. She stole a few fries from me since the side dish of fries was very small. People we were with had some kind of beef sandwich. He said the beef was very tough and would never order it again.The place, surrounds were nice. Looked like a fun bar. But I'm not sure we will be back. Maybe I'll surprise myself.

Pricing for food quality and quantity was Extremely Poor! The Villages has Many better dining options.....Parking: Not a parking space available...I had to park along the curbside.

Good happy hour beer prices and the place looks nice. The service wasn't bad but the happy hour food prices and portion size is a joke. 3 little mushrooms per order of Ruben Mushroom and they were very bland and boring. Waitess said the wings on HH only have 3 per order.....for $7, nope.

Food was good to poor depending on what you got. Seating was awful. Not a place for a conversation. Philly steak sandwich was loaded with gristle. The place needs completion. If it had any it would go out of business real fast.

Went to try this Scottish Pub on a recent Friday night with my wife and her parents. Made reservations through Google because the system on the restaurant web page was a little confusing because it appeared to give me confirmation for another restaurant in the ownership group…Arrived at the restaurant at our scheduled reservation time and were seated immediately in the bar area, which we were ok with, but it is a little loud. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. Our server Tayna was super friendly and very attentive to our needs. I enjoyed a pint of their Scottish Ale. I had the fish and chips, and my white had the salad and added chicken. She commented that it was the best salad she has had in a long time. Her parents both ordered the Ruben sandwich…their only comment was that they are used to “shaved” corn been, but they both enjoyed their sandwich. The fish and chips were good. We will definitely return to try some of the other menu items. The large soft pretzel looked very good and will be on my list for next time.Vegetarian options: Salads were very fresh!

The Cullen's chowder is gf and very good. Everything we ordered was good. I'd go back!Dietary restrictions: Did fine converting to gf. Not a lot of choices but very good food.
Just what you would expect for a good Irish Pub. The Scotch eggs were excellent.Parking: Parking is not an issue.Wheelchair accessibility: No problem with accessibility.

I don't know what to say... This place is just absolutely awesome! The food is something you would want someone to say at your last rights and the drinks are delicious! Had Nicole made an espresso martini that was just fabulous! The corn beef sandwich is something you will dream about even after you wake up... Damn was it tasty! Come here because you will definitely not be disappointed. FYI, the way they pour Guinness is just spectacular!

Scottish restaurant that's not big on serving Scottish food...same as going to an Italian restaurant and serving no Italian food...make it make sense.
