    Waxy's was not a mitigated disaster but there are some real issues. Let's start with the PROS. PROS: The vibe was fun (a bit loud but fun), band was good, beers were cold, server was friendly. The hummus platter was decent with fresh veggies and warmed pita. Unfortunately, it goes way downhill afterward. CONS: We waited with menus at the table for over 10 minutes without anyone coming to the table for a drink order. Server was friendly but seemed overwhelmed. Drinks were ordered and it was a bit of a wait, nothing terrible. We ordered the poutine app and the hummus platter. Those came out quickly. Hummus platter was decent. Poutine, however, was awful. French fries were soggy with congealed cheese and gravy. Tasted flat and greasy. Dinner came out shortly after. Diner 1 had the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was dried out, overcooked chicken. Sauce was okay. He didn't finish it. Diner 2 had beef stew. This was more like beef soup with only 3 or 4 tiny pieces of beef. He, too, did not finish it. Said flavor was decent but not like a stew and too cheap with the beef. Diner 3 had the pear salad with blue cheese. Said the blue cheese was bad, tasted weird. Some of the pieces of blue cheese had fur on them. She also did not finish her meal. I had the BBQ ribs. They were supposed to be marinated in Guiness and then topped with BBQ sauce. One end of the rack of ribs was okay, but the other end was burnt to a crisp. The BBQ sauce had a weird twang that I did not like. I ate 2 ribs. I subbed out the french fries for mashed potatoes. The quantity was generous but were tasteless. I put salt on them twice and still were tasteless. Overall, this was a very disappointing outing. This was my first time at Waxy's and I have absolutely no need to go back.

    Overall a great Irish Pub atmosphere. Then band was excellent. Waitress was pleasant but didn’t seem plugged in to our group. Food was good but we didn’t have everything brought out together a d some had to wait extended times to get all their food. The prices were reasonable. I’d definitely go back

    Nice setting. One person in our party was not satisfied with her appetizer or main dish. Our server/bartender Tim was wonderful. Very attentive and made us feel welcome.

    Disappointed as we had anticipated an Irish type pub as we are used to in other areas. When I asked for a Shandy (a staple in a real Irish pub) and I was told that "beer" was no longer on the menu, I should have known. The food was OK. The music was very Irish pub like and then turned into pop. Not what we had hoped for.

    Like many restaurants, finding help appears to be a problem, so the greeting at the door and table service was slower than I have experienced in the past.

    The restaurant was half empty. It took 40 minutes to get an appetizer. After the restaurant filled in food came out quick. After ordering something i didn't want because, i was told it could take up to an hour. The appetizer was not flash fried but deep fried and overcooked. The Main course was cold and burnt. That would be a good place for bar rehab to do a show. The Manager needs something thrown in their face to wake up.

    Our entrees were tasty, and our service was exceptional. It was a good experience, watching football there on a Sunday afternoon.
