We've been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. Today was a "game day" Sunday, $5 margaritas, pizzas, and other specials. We sat outside on a surprising warm Sunday in January. We sat at patio tables surrounded by a bar topped fence. A perfect party spot! After some tasty pretzel bites with beer cheese dip, we opted for the white shroom pizza and added ham and green pepper. The garlic aioli was the final touch on a very tasty 8 inch "tavern pizza." We topped off the visit with some delicious warm bread pudding loaded with whip cream and soaked in a marvelous liquor called Shanky's Whip. Service is friendly and efficient good. We'll be back soon!

Decor is great, giving you an authentic experience. Full bar and some unique drinks. I ordered the Fish and Chips recommendation from the waitress. Sadly the fish was heavily battered and so oily I had to extract the fish. The batter was inedible. Fries were very good. The food is served on oval metal plates and the meal my friend ordered, Alfredo pasta with broccoli was too cool to continue half way through so she boxed it up for home. My husband's turkey sandwich was mostly bread and lacking a lot in terms of turkey and cheese. Perhaps we caught them on an off day.

We held our April 2026 Red Hat luncheon here--one of our chapter's favorites! The service was friendly and attentive and all the food was delicious! I usually have the Tavern Pizza but tried the chicken sandwich this time and it was great! The decor is Celtic and the background music is enjoyable. We always are glad we come here!!

I stopped in to have dinner with my family. Once inside, we were greeted and seated right away. Both appetizers we ordered were delicious. We ordered the shrimp basket and also a spinach dip with soft warm pita bread. I opted for fish and chips as my main entree and it didn't disappoint. The fish was nice and crispy on the outside, this came out well seasoned. Our server kept our drinks full and there was live music. It was a fun evening at Callahan's!!

Bavarian Pretzel

Located in the back end of a somewhat dead strip mall this place is a somewhat hidden gem. Has golf cart parking for the locals living in OPCC. When I walked in I was greeted by a very friendly waitress that seated my family away from an incoming 21st birthday party so we would be able to visit with each other without trying to talk over a big party, which we appreciated. We started our meal by sharing a giant pretzel. It was perfection with a toasted crunchy crust a hot doughy center. I decided on the bangers and mash which I feel is a must anytime trying a new Irish pub or restaurant. The best part of the dish was the bangers and the sauerkraut that covered the bangers. (So good!) The mash was just ok but the gravy had good flavor. The cabbage on the plate I could do without because it wasn't cooked through and had no seasoning. My father definitely recommends the fish and chips. I didn't sample it but it looked good. My mother likes their shepherds pie. I did sample that, it tasted good but I thought it was a bit runny like a stew. I definitely will be back to try some different dishes and sample some brews.

Irish egg roll
Steve O.

Really nice neighborhood pub. The Irish egg rolls were filling and delicious. The reuben sandwiches are terrific and the corn beef is made in house. It could use a tad more thousand island dressing. The cole slaw is great and they add their own twist with pineapple. Our server, Megan, did a fabulous job.

The Dubliner: Irish egg rolls, corned beef and cabbage, shepherd's pie with a mustard dip & thousand island sauce

Walked in had a relaxed bar vibe. Got greeted and seated pretty quickly. Since it was our first visit we chose a couple different items to try. We ordered 2 appetizers: one being the fried zucchini sticks that came with ranch dipping sauce and it was definitely hot and fresh, I added salt, but I would order again. Next the Dubliner which had 3 different items. First the Irish eggrolls described as corned beef, cabbage and mozzarella rolls, secondly some corned beef and cabbage and lastly some shepherds pie. I do think a lot of restaurants would 50% better in their food if they would season it. That's where this food lacked. Salt and pepper would go a HUGE way. The egg rolls would benefit from not having the mozzarella in it, maybe cheddar or a cheese with better flavor. The cabbage was bland, the corned beef was good and made better with their mustard. That's was delicious! I did also enjoy their shepherds pie. If I return I would definitely order that as an entree. He ordered the fish and chips. Described as hand breaded white haddock served with pub fries. He did add salt and pepper and he added malt vinegar and it was good. Very fresh, hot and the crust very crispy. Definitely on a return trip would order again, I also got the Reuben sandwich. The corned beef and cabbage and thousand island dressing. Wasn't enough dressing thankfully extra came with our appetizer plate so I just added extra. It was juicy and good. Would order that again. It was also Tuesday night which is karaoke night would definitely come closer to that time. They must have a lot of them are regulars there. The singing was good!!! Not conducive for quiet conversation and though! Fun environment to be in though! Would visit this place again for the great service and fun vibes. Willing to try other food there.

Being that that Professor was in town and I let her drive a pre meal beverage was going to a necessity. They advertise lots of Irish whiskeys, but thankfully they had a nice Kentucky bourbon as well. Even came to the table over a large rock which was appreciated. The Professor enjoyed Dr Pepper as Pepsi products are offered here. Our appetizer choice was pretzel bites with beer cheese. Generous quantity of tasty, salty nuggets covered in cheesy goodness...what more could you ask for? Sometimes at other places they can be greasy; not so here. Entree selections were fish & chips and shepards' pie. The fish review was good but the filets could've used a bit more salt. The accompanying fries were crispy and well seasoned. No complaints for the shepard's pie. Both dishes were nice portions, to go containers were used for leftovers. The service was friendly, we will return!

Met a friend and ate here for the first time for lunch. It was a beautiful day outside and it is really dark inside this restaurant. It does have great decorations and theme. We were recommended the Reuben and the pineapple Cole slaw. Both I was told were house made. The Reuben was above average and I liked the pineapple Cole slaw a lot. We ordered sides of fries and were very good. We had 4 hippie beers that we really liked. The waitress was excellent and very friendly! I gave 4 stars because for lunch the bill was very high in my opinion. Also I didn't like how dark it was in the restaurant. It is worthy of coming back.

When I gave my order to the server, I specified how I was excited to try it because it was shaved, and he told me it was his favorite, but he could never finish it. When the food came, I was very nervous because not only was the rye bread seeded, and I don't like seeded rye bread typically, the meat was clearly not shaved, but sliced. Once I took a bite, all of those concerns were gone! Not only was it such fresh and delicious bread that I am certain they must make or get fresh from a bakery, the corned beef had to be the most tender I've had in a very long time. There was not one chewy piece throughout the sandwich. Now, those fries...they are now my absolute favorite fries! I can see myself craving those. I didn't even get through half of the sandwich because it was a lot. My husband really enjoyed the smash burger as well. He said his bun was also very fresh and delicious, the burger was great, too! The pub itself it very cute and just was you would expect to see and a friendly atmosphere to go with it.

I am traveling within reasonable distances of my home to experience the flavors. For example, one establishment provided a Flight of 3 menu items before committing to eating one, which was enjoyable; however, their shepherd's pie was prepared with sweetness/sweetened rather than savory flavors, which didn't bode well for me. Today's adventurous goal was to experience "bangers and mash," as there appear to be a couple of variations of this dish made with either Guinness, Port wine, or beef stock. When typing Bangers and Mash into Yelp and Google Maps, this establishment was an option for consideration. I verified that the item was on the menu and read the reviews. Upon our arrival, we were greeted well and seated forthwith. We started to place our orders when I noticed that the food item I was seeking wasn't on the menu. When I inquired about the Bangers and Mash, I was told it was no longer available. Disappointed, I opted for the Shepherd's pie. While I couldn't obtain the item I hoped for, the experience wasn't bad. The shepherd's pie was well-made and presented well; a large portion is served in an individual cast-iron pan. The flavor profiles were quite good, very savory and rich. The flavor spectrum touched all of the sensory elements. I found it quite enjoyable. My journey continues.

And, let me tell you how nice the staff is! Ms. Lindsey was our waitress and she was very helpful in finding foods for me that did not have onion-stuff in it!

I've been to Metro Diner before. It was near downtown but it's been several years. I decided to…read morestop by for breakfast today as this location is near me. So that being said, let's dive in.. Food-6/10. I remember when Metro Diner was always doing unique dishes. The current menu feels standard diner and for the taste of the food, I'd rather pay the cheaper prices at other chain breakfast joints. I got the creme brûlée coffee which wasn't bad, but their cups are small and they don't fill them fully. That combined with the fact that when hey refill your cup it's with regular coffee is a bit disappointing. Though what truly disappointed was the fried chicken benedict. While the chicken was good, the poached egg was very under done and barely holding together and the yolk was quite cold. The hollandaise felt watery and lacked flavor. Meanwhile the home fries were a bit soggy instead of crisp. Service-9/10. My drink order was taken immediately as they seated me and brought quickly as well so I hadn't had a chance to look at the menu at all by the time she brought my coffee. I asked for a minute to get a look but then she didn't come back for quite a while. After placing my order she was gone for quite a while and I was longing for a coffee refill. I hadn't seen her in so long. I started to wonder if maybe she had gone home and someone else was going to be covering my area but hadn't made their way to me yet. Eventually, someone else brought my food out and they finally asked if I would like a refill on my coffee. Then a bit later she showed up to drop the check off. What was frustrating about this was that the restaurant was probably only half full. And despite that I struggled to be able to get a coffee refill. Atmosphere-4/10. The space feels like they just cram as many tables in as possible to get as many butts in the seat as possible. They take you into a middle table that you have to navigate through other seated people to get to and the spaces to navigate through are far too narrow. The noise levels inside are aggravatingly high. The music they're playing over their speakers is so loud that everybody is yelling to talk to the person across the table from them and be heard. And it just ends up everybody being louder and louder to be heard over the music. By the time I left, I had a throbbing headache. As far as the exterior, parking is a bit dreadful. Expect to have to park behind the building and walk to the front to enter. All in all, I can certainly say this was not the cozy breakfast experience. I had hoped it would be. It feels like at least this location has become overly commercial.
