Customer Reviews

★★★★☆ 4.0 Dee Dee Christensen · Feb 2026

We had the ribs special and it was really good. The mashed potatoes and gravy were amazing. The girls who work the bar were really friendly and really good service. One of the girls greets everybody as they walk in through the door. It seems like such a small thing but that really makes a big difference, to me anyways. They have the outside seating so it’s dog friendly. Oh and apparently Wednesday is karaoke night.

★★★★★ 5.0 Amanda H (Manders) · Feb 2026

Really clean, amazingly clean, one of the cleanest pubs I’ve ever eaten in. Food was amazing. Hot, crispy fries that don’t need to be salted to be enjoyed and the Rueben was amazing. Service was also amazing. We visited at an odd time of the day and were surprised by the freshness and quality of the food.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jessica McCormack · Dec 2025

This place gets PACKED when there are shows next door. Food is nothing special but decent and when crowded, it can take a while. Service however is amazing. For the amount of patrons during show nights, these workers are a well oiled machine who maintain their composure under pressure with humor and a smile. They should be recognized for their abilities to juggle the amount of people asking for drinks, food, ketchup, etc. thanks for another good time pre-concert!

★★★★★ 5.0 Prof. John · Jun 2025

This is my 120 th review. I have driven or walked by 275 dining places on 2 continents. I have visited about 175 establishments. Anyone who has read my reviews knows I try to write in an easily readable format. I try to make fair calls on ratings and realize that it is my feeling alone and only on the item I have decided to try. High class food is not a requirement. Frugality in all things has stood me well. I am fortunate to get a good quantity of views, both in photos and text. Thank you for indulging me in this prelude. Now for #120. A week and a half ago I visited McGeary's with some family before a young people's event at the Palace Theater, an icon of the city which i have also reviewed. We had various items and i decided on a standard bar food, a burger and fries. I get my burger

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Honest foodie · Jan 2025

Decided to try this based on the reviews. I wish. I didn’t. So I expected an Irish pub. With like bangers and mash or fish and chips. Nope, they have an odd menu. The best thing out of the group that was ordered was the steak. The burgers were not cooked correctly and my son got his burger after everyone else ate, maybe they ran out. The fries were soggy with grease. The server was good and kept apologizing for the delay as it wasn’t his fault. Maybe it’s a better bar than restaurant.
