4.5 rounding up to 5…read more My husband has family around these parts and we recently were taken to dinner here on our last visit. It tends to be a popular spot, as evidenced by the parking lots on each side of the gravel road. Fortunately, it wasn't too crowded on the Wednesday night that we arrived. It looked deceptively smaller on the outside to me. As we came in, we went up a few stairs and there was an extension we decided to sit at so that we would be able to have a little more space and less volume for privacy so we could catch up. It was pretty dark compared to the other area, which I prefer. Once we were seated, we were provided with menus and glasses of ice water. Our server was better than excellent. She gave an overview of the menu choices, which included burgers, wings, entrees, and a fantastic choice of appetizers. Our relatives went with a warm pretzel, which came out hung on a stand with 2 kinds of dip, beer cheese and I think a plain cheese, and mustard. We had a mixed appetizer dish which included chicken tenders and onion rings (I forget the other items, so much food.) These were typical pub fare, with 3 different dips you choose from idk how many total. Speaking of sauces to choose from, there must have been 30 or more on the list for wings and anything else you want it with. You'll notice that the prices are very odd, like $17.12 or $13.16. I regret not asking what the story is with that. Most of us went with burgers, which were 1/2 pound patties on beautiful, soft, shiny buns. I had the bourbon burger, which had a delicious sauce, crispy onions, bacon, cheese, tomato, lettuce and onion. I could not finish this thing. I love that NY state lets you have your burger cooked to your choice of doneness, so I was extra happy to enjoy mine medium rare. I got my usual fries for my side, which were par the course if too salty for me. My daughter built her own burger as an option, which she also loved but couldn't finish. My husband's wings were enormous, as was the order of mac and cheese our cousin had. Our server was practically telepathic as she anticipated when we needed refills or other incidental. I love that this place lets you buy the staff a pitcher of beer to show appreciation. Idk when they drink it or how they share, but it's a great gesture. My guess is it's when they close and before they go home. It's the kind of place you can sit around and enjoy for hours while watching sports on the television screens all around, or have a game and your drinks. Solid spot for a casual pub style meal. Would definitely be going regularly if I lived there.

It is Polish heritage month so there's a special Polish menu which I had to indulge in. I got the Polish platter and a Polish bottled beer to go with it. The platter had Kabasa, Kapusta, pierogi, a pumpernickel roll and a stuffed cabbage, all appearing to have been homemade. My husband ordered off the regular menu and got two huge pieces of haddock on a platter with two sides. Their fish selection is really good and the last time, I was there, I had the perch. The atmosphere is a little bit odd or should I say quirky? It is a very clean establishment, but the dining room is filled with tchotchkes of various sorts, including taxidermy animals and baskets of little porcelain bears. You can look around the dining room and never get bored since there is so much to see. Service was great. I would like to try their pizza that people rave about. There's always next time.

Fortunately, we were seated on the patio within 15 minutes. Unfortunately, it took 35 minutes after ordering to get our food. No complaints, though, because it was fantastic! My cousin & I each ordered the Captain's Platter ($28), which came with a large piece of fried haddock, hand-cut fries, 3 fried shrimp, a spicier than expected cocktail sauce, tartar sauce & a small side (I had macaroni salad, my cousin coleslaw). Our waiter was friendly as well as efficient & took the time to chat with us once the dinner rush was over. We loved the fact that when we received our bill, it came with Swedish Fish in lieu of mints! Our only disappointment was that there was too much food to finish and, since we are traveling, no way to take the rest home to enjoy a second time.

We then called and they said it was next to the appliance store Sheeans so I went in at the bville diner and went in the back and saw the back entrance. Upon entering it was like going back in time ( like the 60's). We sat at a booth and waitress came right over. The special was a fish sandwich with one side for 7.25!!! We both got that and I couldn't believe the size of the sandwich for that price. Actually all the food items are very reasonable. Many regulars were eating lunch because the waitress knew them by first name. The fish was excellent and the side coleslaw was also. This is not a fancy place but the food is good and service also.

For drinks they have a good selection of beers on tap, usually 10-20, from local and national breweries. The server offered me a sample before I fully committed on a beer I had a question about and I appreciated being able to try it before committing to a full glass. The Evergreen's menu itself is accessed through a QR code where their full list of options and specials are listed. My group opted to share the beer fries and they were taaaasty, pillowy soft, crunchy, and amazingly well seasoned. The vegetarian options are a regular part of the restaurant and the fried tofu I had was genuinely satisfying and well done. My cajun pasta was maybe a touch over but I was okay with it since it had my condiment obsession of chili crisp in it. The menu is well marked for dietary needs. A great thing of note is that they have women's, men's, AND an all-gender bathroom. I appreciate the inclusion in the food and restaurant itself. Car parking is street parking, it's accessible via the Centro bus system, and there is an artistic broken-chain shaoed bike rack just across the street from the restaurant. My group was happy with the prices and service for an early Wednesday dinner in a wintry March.

My partner and I chose to split the herb fries, burnt end chicharrones, and the brussels. I thought the herb fries were delightfully crisp with great flavor. The sweet & spicy smokey sauce that was provided with it was a bit tangy. I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me! You'll definitely have to taste it for yourself. The burnt end chicharrones left more to be desired. Both my partner and I thought they were dry and not tender. Also, there was something about the flavor that we did not care for. I absolutely love burnt ends from BBQ joints, and this was the first time we've ordered chicharrones so I don't have something to compare them to, but I'd suggest trying them elsewhere. As for the brussels, when we first got to the restaurant our friends were sharing them. We tried one bite and knew we had order a whole plate for ourselves! They were literally the best brussel sprouts we've ever had. The roasted garlic aioli and grana cheese were topped on perfectly cooked brussels which I would go back for. I highly suggest checking out The Evergreen, go through their beer menu, and find a new favorite plate.

The host was friendly, our server was upbeat and attentive, and the owner came by to chat late in the meal. A truly welcoming experience. We started off with two Black & Tans (Guinness and Harp) and an order of the Irish Fritters and mini potato pancakes. Generous enough portions of both, that we set aside half to take home for the next day. Our entrees were the Irish Meatloaf dinner and the baked haddock dinner. Both arrived perfectly timed and perfectly cooked. Again, we couldn't quite finish them, so we boxed up the remainder for Sunday. For dessert, we opted to drink ours. We ordered a strawberry Martini and a whiskey cocktail named after the title of Ireland's Prime Minister. All in all, it was 2 hours from start to finish, the bill was $110, to which I added a 25% tip. If you're looking for a real taste of Ireland, look no further than Kitty Hoynes.

The waitress did correct it but by that time, we were pretty much finished. The sizes of the burgers were on the smaller size and the fries came neatly measured in a metal cup, but not full.

The lobster was in a bun and smaller than a normal lobster roll you may expect, especially for $40. ​ i may have been okay with the sizes of the food if it had come out quicker, maybe it was just an off day. ?
