★★★★☆ 4.0 Derek Luster · Jan 2026

The staff was immediately welcoming on a Wednesday night. I was looking for some fish and chips in the area. Had a bad experience at a spot less than a mile from them and wanted to try this place after passing by earlier in the week anyway. Customer service 10. The bartenders were awesome. My only critique were the Tequila options. They didnt have any of the tequila offered on the menu, except house and Casamigos. The Gin and tonic was made well, however,and service very attentive. Clean and pretty open kitchen. The Fish and Chips could really be good. They had flavor they just needed to be crispier and a little less greasy. The taste was a 9 but overall a 7 or 8 due to crisp. Would want to try them crispier. Cheesesteak was very good as the bartender recommended The Wings were solid

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Love Lee · Nov 2025

Technically I can’t review the service or atmosphere bc I wasn’t there. My husband placed the order and brought it home. But I’m still giving 1 start bc of how terrible the food was. Crazy expensive and such small portion. Absolutely no flavor. My husband and I were actually appalled. The amount of grease in the shepards pie was just gross. The absolute blandness of the corned beef was astounding. Literally why even bother? Oh and the shapers pie was $22, the corned beef was $20. This place will close just like Shazzy’s. We’ll never go back.

After living in Buford for 24 years we finally have a truly authentic “taste of home” that serves excellent food! It was our first visit today and we most certainly will be back (probably much more than we should :-)!) Fish n chips Bangers n mash Scotch eggs We’re all truly excellent and being an expat I should know ;-) Hope Jim, Megs and their team are here for many years to come…. They absolutely should be based on our visit today!!

Happy that there is now an Irish pub close by! The food was great, servers were extremely friendly and the atmosphere was laid back. We will definitely be back and looking forward to future visits to try out other dishes! Definitely recommend the shepherd's pie, Guinness beef stew, and the Reuben(AKA the hangover).

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Gary Walderich · Dec 2025

Had Sunday lunch at Coakley’s. The bar service was solid and the food was decent. The atmosphere leans more “local dive bar” than traditional Irish pub, but still a relaxed spot if you’re just looking to hang out.
