★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Elijah Brewer · Jan 2026

I hate leaving a bad review for a local place but this restaurant is absolute disgusting and pitiful and is very poorly managed. May very possibly be the first time in my life that I didn’t eat or even touch my food my wife took one bite of her Celtic burger. I asked for a refund for the entrees which is a first for me but after the 2 apps we got and the spinach artichoke dip not even being edible with soft not toasted baguettes and the two inedible entrees I was done there was no way I wanted to swap the entrees out to try something else. At first I was denied a refund but after listening to the young manager argue a cuss with another employee for ten minutes in public eye she finally came over to the table and honored a refund. At which point we waited another 10/15 minutes for a check

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Lacey Bennett · Oct 2025

Such a disappointment. I have ordered the food on DoorDash before and it was decent. This was my first time in the restaurant and I wouldn't go back. The service was absolutely terrible. We ordered a few drinks and waited over 15 minutes for them. (The place only had 5-6 other tables). I ordered a martini. The guy brings me some kind of hot chocolate drink in a mug. When I say this isn't my drink, he tells me that it is and argues, even though I point out its not even in a martini glass and it doesnt have the coated rim. He walks away. 🙄 I had to take it to the bar and get the correct drink. When our food comes, we never get a check back until we are almost done. Not a single drink refill. The crab cakes were missing the coleslaw and cocktail sauce. When we asked for the cole

Walking through these doors you are immediately swarmed by the delicious smell of their kitchen, just to then be greeted by a smiling host, my host tonight made me feel so welcomed, she smiled and spoke to me as if we were friends. The atmosphere is nostalgic, the artwork and decorations make you feel as if you just stepped into a portal leading straight into Ireland itself. Now the food is a different ball game. I had the wings with a milkshake, holy cow was that a fantastic combination. The bartender who took my order was so sweet she gave me great choices to help me decide. The wings are loaded with sauce, the flavor dances on your tongue. Milkshakes are so rich and full. I will definitely come back and to the readers you should come on down !!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 KMR · Mar 2025

It was ok, nothing special. Very nice atmosphere and great service, but the food was average at best. The Poutine fries were good, but not enough gravy. The Guinness stew was somewhat bland, and didn't live up to its price. Baked cod was decent. The place was empty at 3pm on a Saturday, was kind of a red flag for us

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Karen Belko · Feb 2026

We were seated right away and gave drink, appetizer and dinner order all at once. Took 45 minutes to get some of the drinks and another 15 minutes to get the remaining drinks. Food started coming out about 5 minutes after we finally received ALL the drinks. All the deep fried foods were hot and fresh. The burgers were cold as if they sat the entire time though. We were barely checked on and not kept informed of what was going on with the orders. We asked 3 different times if we could at least get the fountain drinks for the kids and ended up having to go to the bar to get at least water for the kids to drink. People seated all around us had gotten there after us and received their drinks and food before we received ANYTHING. The surrounding tables had different servers than us. We had to a
