Super cute Irish pub! The food is great, the staff is awesome, and they pour a Guinness correctly. Very warm and welcoming crowd, with a lovely little dining room for families. Highly recommend the Godfather sandwich!

It's got a nice local vibe. People who go here are nice.The food is good. Nice to have a place with Irish curry fries around..Service at the tables can be pretty hit or miss. The first time was very pleasant. The second time I asked the server what was on tap and she told me they had beers from hackensack brewery and brix. I asked which beers from those breweries they had and she said "I don't know." I don't mind her not knowing at first but she had no interest in finding out which was rather off-putting.

I have always wanted to try as I live in the area and walk past it every night. I went tonight. The bar area was crowded due to the Georgia/Alabama game. Sat in the dining area for 20 minutes without acknowledgment from the staff so I left. Other establishments in the area are happy to take my money, won’t be back.

Food here is awesome and affordable. Better than most area restaurants by far. Try the filet mignon tips appetizer and you'll be back for more again and again. Service was also great.

The bartender was also our waitress and she was the only person taking care of the whole place. Our service consisted of the bartender dropping things on our table and then running off. Any questions we asked appeared to be a bother. Multiple times she ran off stating she would answer the question when she was able to come back. We ordered Shepherds pie that was so runny it looked like soup. When we wanted to return the item she asked incredulously if we had ever eaten the item in question because that is how it is served. So beware, you will get a sloppy plate of meat gruel covered with a greasy sheen on top. After this she made comments about knowing we were trouble and called my dining mate white trash before pointing to the door saying her boss wouldn't want any customers like us. The final insult was when I had to pay for this mess she passed me by multiple times and wouldn't take the bill to be processed. After putting on my coat and starting to get up from the booth she finally deigned to take my money. Worst experience ever. Makes you want to stay home. But I guess she can get away with that attitude because as she told us multiple times, she is very close to the owner.

I would give zero stars for service if I could. The bartender/waitress had a lot of customers to wait on. They don't have any servers so when we sat down I said it looks like she could use some help.Things went downhill from there. When I asked her if there was drink menu she cut me off and she said I had to wait for her to come back. Same thing happened when I had questions about an item on the menu. When my shepards pie arrived it was very watery so I sent itback. She then asked me if I ever had shepherd's pie before and said that's the way it's supposed to be. She said she goes to Ireland all the time and thats the way it's served. Then she said she should have figured because she knew I would be a problem from the beginning. I asked for the check because I'd had enough of her rudeness and told her she needed to learn how to talk to customers. She said I was nasty to her and then called me white trash and told me there's the door. I asked her for the owner's name and she said she was very close with the owner and he wouldn't want a customer like me and wouldnt tell me his name. Needless to say we won't be going back. Apparently asking questions about the beers they have and a question about a dish was enough to send her over the edge. One of the worst experiences I ever had in a restaurant anywhere.(I use that term loosely).
