This is a great Irish pub experience! The food and service was quite good! Loved all of the sports and community memorabilia all over the walls and the ceiling! read more

This is a local favorite. It's always crowded, especially the bar. Lots of regulars who come for the beer and to meet neighborhood friends. I'm giving it 3 stars for the food. It's fine for ordering hamburgers, fries, and old Irish favorites like beef stew. Other than that the food is just mediocre. On a recent visit, and we've been here 6 or 7 times in the last 10 years, we were disappointed in the meal. The chili was a thick clump of fried chopped beef with a very small amount of beans and almost no liquid. My corned-beef reuben wasn't much better with a fatty cut of meat and bread that was too-greasy. Potato salad was good but the cole slaw was swimming in mayonnaise. My husband had the chili also, which he could not eat. His fish and chips were fine, with a generous portion of fish. So, in summary, it's a neighborhood bar with friendly locals who love the place, and just mediocre food. If you like beer, hamburgers and fries, then give it an extra star! As far as I'm concerned, I'll wait another year or two before I give it another try! read more

Great family restaurant. Owner is awesome. BEWARE though the waitress Maura is the nastiest person I have ever encountered there. She is rude nasty and disrespectful to long time customers. Because of her and her nastiness they lost a large family of customers. She seriously needs to find another occupation. It's a shame because this is a great local place. read more

We love this place ! Always feel at home here! Chris the owner always greet us with a smile and welcoming hello!! It maybe crowded when you walk in but never let that stop you from coming in. Always seated right away!! Food is great too!!! read more

Seemed promising at first, the French onion soup was absolutely delicious. The rest of what we ordered not so much. Everything was overdone, absolutely everything. It was as if they kept yesterdays cooked fries, onion rings, fish etc and and refried it...terrible. Burger was over cooked. And I hate being nickel and dimed. Nowhere on the menu does it say you will pay a credit card fee, yet there it is in the bill and $1 each for a little extra tarter sauce and sour cream. I know there are places that charge for extra sauce, but .25 would be accurate for portion. Needless to say, I won't return. read more

I'm not sure what it is about pub's and their steak, but it's always phenomenal, especially here! Also, the fries were AMAZING as well! We will be back!!!! read more

One of the best burgers I ever had . Great lunch special too Burger fries & a beer $6.99 And for a place that doesn't use Heinz ketchup The house recipe brand is on point !! read more

Had a wonderful burger with delicious sweet potato fries! Greeted warmly by the owner and had great service! Will definitely be coming back!

We went last night for date night. The servers were super attentive and my bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions was simply divine. Their sweet potato fries are some of the best I've ever had. He had Shepherd's Pie and thought it was great. The drinks have a nice kick too. We'll be back for sure! read more

Rustic, festive Irish pub in Blue Point has a locals only vibe. I really liked the dining room in the back with its dark wood interior. They have one of my favorite beers on tap which is a bonus. Ordered the shepherd's pie which was delicious. However the stuffed flounder was iffy. The stuffing was good and I like the sweet potato fries but the flounder itself was fishy and off tasting. Let's just say if it was me who ordered that, I would've sent it right back. Service was very welcoming and friendly and prices are quite reasonable even for beers. I do recommend it but I would steer clear of the fish. read more

It's an Irish poob, laddo! Burgers are decent- simply seasoned and cooked to order. usualt pub grub on the menu: wings, pastrami and reubens, fried whatever. The space is a bit tight and reminds me of what would happen if **I** opened a bar. Eventually, every bit of memorabilia and kitsch would come to festoon every spare nook and cranny. But that's what i find cool. Definitely a Locals' Vibe but not a hostile one. Stop in for a burger and a beer, you can't go wrong. If I lived within walking distance, this might be my Go-To. read more

Great Food that corner neighborhood bar. The burgers are HUGE! Been there a few times and I've enjoyed it each time. Will def go back!

Let me take the time to thank one business (who will not be named, but also in blue point) that has been closed the three times I tried to visit it. I didn't want to go on with hunger so I found Cavanaugh's on Yelp. It has a small parking lot on the side but we got there early enough to get great parking. When I walked in I felt this is my kind of place. It was a hole in the wall with modern amenities, such as a electric juke box, 14 TV's and Lotto. The place is packed with pictures showing its 30 year history. There are Tiffany lamps and ceiling fans to add to the character of this place. I also fell in love with the conversations of the patrons, talking about Football and life. They seemed to be very knowledgeable people telling entertaining stories. They also had clean tables as well as a great bathroom, that had a urinal in it (Sometimes it's the little things that make men happy). Now onto the review of the food. I honestly wish Yelp offered 6 stars, I would not use it unless everything was perfect. Good food, service, and atmosphere. The keys to a establishments success. We started with potato salad and it delivered! It had chopped veggies as well as big potatoes in it. The second were the potato skins. They just don't get it wrong. They put a lot of bacon on top with cheddar and don't charge for more sour cream like other places. My main meal was a cheeseburger with waffle fries. The burger was 8 oz. of pure beef and they cooked it the way I asked without issue. The waffle fries are what other restaurants should model their's after. They came out hot with the perfect seasoning on them. Also my brother, reluctantly, let me try his sweet potato fries. Bravo! They were the best I've had since I started Yelping. The maple syrup dipping sauce was excellent too. Will I be back, yes! Should you go, absolutely. I don't know about you but the next time I come I'm getting those wings. read more

Love Cavs. Their onion rings are my favorite on earth. Great place for a burger or steak and a beer. I love the addition of the tent as well. read more

It was getting late on a Sunday night and football was over, we were hungry and had not thought ahead. We took a ride and stopped into Cavanaugh's, thrilled to find out that the kitchen was open till 11pm. I had been in the bar many times and had appetizers and snacks at the bar but it had been a while. I had not had a sit down dinner so this would be a first. To say that we were pleasantly surprised would be a massive understatement!! We started off with some wings, these were not the little ones you usually get but big nice meaty wings. I don't like HOT HOT so the standard house wing dressing was great. My wife ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger with Sweat Potato Fries and I got a Cheesesteak with regular Fries. Everything was cooked to perfection, the fries were crisp and had that crunch you look for the burger was perfectly cooked and the bacon was crisp and cruchy. The Cheesesteak was awesome not a bunch of slim jims on a roll but a nice cut of steak with cheese, onions and peppers. To wash it down we had a few Stella's and even tried an desert. I found the entire experience to be great, the food was wonderful the waiter was attentive and friendly, the bartender even came over to apologize for the noise at the bar (we never noticed), to find such a great meal at the last minute late on a Sunday night was wonderful. We will be regulars! read more

Ok... there might be better steaks out there, or better burgers, or so on... but THIS is the place to be if you just need to kick back, tuck in to some good, solid grub, and be served with a smile. It's a neighborhood place, that feels "family run" and welcoming. The kind of place that makes you want to go back to... I'm not saying the food's not good - it IS. They cook up a nice steak, burger, and a VERY nice Shepherd's Pie. Good thing it's not just around the corner from me, though - I'd probably spend more time there than the wife would appreciate :) read more

Steak Night on Wednesday - get there. Great atmosphere, great service. Went with a group of people and sat in the back dining room. Got all our food quick and our beer cold. Cheese sticks were great, as well as the kickin' Irish nachos. Pretty crowded for a Wednesday-- we parked at the bank across the street and walked over, which was a good choice since they have a tiny parking lot. Watched some baseball, had a good time, and didn't have to pay a whole heck of a lot for it. read more

Grabbed a couple pints on St. Patty's Day here. Nice Irish Pub, they do buy backs and make a tasty Half & half ;) Bar staff was good too. Would like to try their food next time. They have dining in the bar room as well as in the back if you don't want any bar noise. read more

Great spot! Was in the area, and stopped in for a quick bite, and was really surprised on how much I liked Cav's.. The decor is TV monitors, sports and beer memorabilia, or what I hope heaven looks like, but with great deer hunting out the back door! But let's get back to Cav's review.. The food was on point. We went with a grilled corned beef Reuben and potato salad, and a Philly Cheese Steak with sweet potato fries. The meats were piled high and thick. The corned beef was excellent, lean and tasty. The steak was so tender, and real steak too, no steak-um type meat here. The potato salad was tasted good but was a little too creamy for my liking. The sweet potato fires were perfect. Crunchy with sweet and moist centers.. I'm looking forward to my next visit! Cheers read more

Went Saturday night with my family. Great food and friendly service. My Dad eats there regularly and recommended it. Great menu. I had the steak and scampi special which was great. Highly recommend!! Lots of sports on tv if you want that. read more

Absolutely love Cavanaughs! Been coming here ever since I was a kid. Great food, great drinks and even better people. Mr Cavanaugh and his employees work hard to make insure that every single Customer is having a great night. He even goes to every table, interacts and introduces himself. Now that's how a true owner should be. Can't wait to stop in tonight!!! read more

Had a very good dinner on St. Patty's Day, with a proper pint of course. Some folks nearby had some great looking burgers. Friendly staff even of such a busy day. read more

Only been to Cavanaugh's a couple of times but it was great every time. Such a small place but that's part of what I love about it. Beer was cold and fresh and appetizers were on point. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area looking for a traditional Irish bar in the area. read more

Went for lunch during the week. Seems like a good hang out spot for a after work beer. Food took forever to come out and wasn't right the first time. And the service wasn't good. read more

This is a great place, great food and atmosphere! I love the Irish Nachos( what you would expect of a nacho platter, with waffle fries opposed to chips). Tap selection is limited, but that would never deter me from this place. It really its a great establishment!!!! Only complaint, gets really crowed on the weekends, its one of the reasons I sometimes skip it. Whats it they say? " No one goes there anymore, its to crowded"! LOL read more

Amazing food and excellent service. We went there on a Wednesday and enjoyed shepherds pie with bud light. The French onion soup is the best I have ever had. Loved it so much we came back again on Tuesday night for the same. read more

Excellent environment. Really friendly workers/staff An excellent place to go for a drink on the weekend either with some friends and family or a night out with a date. read more

Such an amazing atmosphere. Not many bars/restaurants can pull off mingling the local bar crowd and the family dining combination but Chris does it to perfection. Staff is friendly, courteous and attentive. All the food is beyond reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. My favorites are their famous wings and seafood marinara special. Cavs does everything the "right way"!! read more

A wonderful Irish pub! I've been going to Cavanaugh's my entire life, it's the type of small restaurant/bar that makes you feel right at home. The owner greets every patron that walks in, and the staff is very friendly. If you're looking for a quick, casual night out, this is a great place to visit. read more

What's not to like about Cav's? Been going there from day one and still a go to for the family!

Good pub food. The only negative was we sat in the bar area and they had the door open on a cloudy day. A little cold in there, and I guess we could've moved.... Burger was pretty damn good, asked for medium and it actually arrived a little medium rare which is not the norm. Good place and I would go back. read more

My wife and I went there for the first time last night and we could not have been more pleased. I had the fish and chips, my wife had the chicken francaise and french onion soup and we shared an order of stuffed mushrooms and I couldn't find fault with any of it. Even the fries were perfect and the Guinness was served properly. It was a little noisy, not necessarily the place to go for a quiet romantic dinner, but for a fun night out it was great. I plan on returning soon for my mother's birthday as she is always looking for a place that serves a decent fish and chips and theirs is excellent. read more

My wife and I had gone to dinner there several times. The steaks are really good and the atmosphere is noisy but bearable. Last night we had dinner and when we got the bill they added $.50 for rocks for our after dinner drinks. The waiter said that we got a double shot in our drinks and added the $.50 for rocks. I said that was no double shot, it was filled with ice and very little liqueur. He said that he was sorry and removed the cost from the bill. While we like the restaurant very much and the amount charged was very little, it was not right, and an obvious lie, you have to watch your bills at this place. read more

I took my family here after my 12 year old son's baseball game on a Saturday night. It was perfect. We waited only 5 minutes for a seat in the back dining area. The Bud drafts were ice cold and only $2.50. I ordered a Chicken Burger that was tasty. My children loved their food and the ambience was quiet and quite pleasant. The waiter switched the big screen TV to the Yankees game very quickly. Overall, If I am in that area again after a game, I will go back. read more

Came here for a quick bite to eat and a order of wings to go (for a party). From the outside, it didn't look like anything too special, but once we walked in, I was pleasantly surprised. Great sports bar / pub feel, tons of tv, horse racing, quick draw etc. The place was pretty packed, and now I know why. Even so, we were seated in less then 5 minutes and a waitress was ready to take our order. Of course I was going to go with my normal chicken finger platter (because I have the palate of a five year old) but then the stuffed chicken burger caught my eye. So glad I stepped out of my comfort zone on this one because it was DELICIOUS. My boyfriend got the ribeye steak and all though I didn't try it, he seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. Cooked to perfection too. Food came out hot and fresh. The pumpkin beers were cold and crisp. I took note of all their weekly specials and those seem to be pretty awesome! Highly recommend this place, and we for sure will be back. This is the perfect example of "don't judge a book by its cover" ... because this is the perfect little hidden gem. Well done, Cavanaughs, well done !!! read more

Don't be fooled into thinking this is just another local bar. The food is top notch and the service is friendly and accommodating. I can't believe I have lived in this area for 45 years and I just went for my first time. I have a lot of making up to do! read more

Great pub! Very "feel good" vibe when I went to Cavanaugh's; I immediately felt at home. The moon burger was great, it had mozzerella and mushrooms (my favorite)! The best part about this bar is the monthly beer specials. This month is Land Shark, which is wonderful news, but I can't wait until June for shock top pints at $2.50!!! Good prices, excellent service... Going again tonight for St. Patrick's day!! read more

Great food an service. Friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Reasonable price. I will be a frequent customer.

I love coming here for lunch! The menu is extensive and delicious . The best burgers I have ever had and a wonderful specials menu that changes often. I would come here with my family often for lunch and usually on triple crown race days. You can bet and watch the races or the game on their many TV's , and there is always something for the kids to eat and enjoy. A Saturday on race day ( or game day) is well spent. I feel at home when I'm here. read more

Good solid pub food and friendly staff. The burgers are particularly good. Specials throughout the week also a good deal. Marinated steaks are quite good. read more
