    Crazy busy on weekends, but nice and relaxed at 4 PM on a Tuesday. Food was great, server was great, Guinness was among the best that I have ever had.

    We very much enjoyed our food but our server seemed quite inexperienced and there were some problems with being out of items at 11AM . I've been to the Dubliner several times and so was looking forward to trying out their new venture. We began by ordering coffee and were told there was no cream and the restaurant did not serve decaf coffee, a first for us. We ordered mimosas that seemed to be forgotten and did not come until our breakfast was served. There seemed to be poor communication between the wait team. I am hoping this was a one time bad experience with a new wait staff because we enjoyed the food and the atmosphere/

    The salad, bread, and chowder were very good. I can’t say that about the semi cooked fries, and flavorless rubbery roasted chicken. Some places are for drinking, some for having a great meal, others for both. This place is have your drinks, as witnessed by the line ready to get their drink on. There’s nothing wrong with that, just know where you are going, your expectations.

    First dining experience everything was great. Decor is fabulous puts you in an Irish mood, food was fabulous lots original regional foods to choose from. Much to choose from on the beverage list. Staff was attentive and helpful. Price was standard and comfort level was moderate for a Thursday evening.

    Having been to The Dubliner, we were really looking forward to dining at McGonagle‘s and it did not disappoint.  Service was amazing and the food was even better. Every plate to cross out table was delicious, beautifully presented, and generous. The bread alone was worth the trip! We had table reservations and I would definitely suggest making them. We’ll definitely be back.

    Definitely a great Irish pub experience! The Guinness was amazing. The fish & chips was fantastic - although, would’ve enjoyed it more authentically had it been served in newspaper! 😉 Overall, a fun place to meet up (go in one car or get there early to get a parking spot - otherwise, it might be difficult) with friends.
