    Celts affront to Irish cuisine

    I've eaten here several times over the past few years and all I can say is, "Meh." It's mediocre at best. I absolutely love Irish pubs, and actively seek them out wherever I go throughout the world. Having been to Ireland multiple times, I seek authentic atmosphere, Guinness on tap ( poured properly), and true Irish food. The Bangers and Mash were okay the last time I was here, ranking maybe a 6.5/10. I visited a few days ago after a round of golf at a nearby course and ordered the Shepards Pie. Now, Shepards Pie isn't exactly difficult to make, nor is it a unique dish. In Ireland, it would be akin to ordering a bacon cheeseburger in the states. Traditionally in Ireland, it's made with ground lamb, not beef, but ground beef has been used for decades in many recipes, so I don't hold that against folks. Other ingredients are very basic, peas, carrots, mashed potatoes, a little yellow onion, natural thickeners and seasoning. The potatoes can be cut up in cubes, but one of the defining characteristics of a good Shepards Pie is the mashed potatoes are a top layer of the mix. Almost like the heavy cheese in proper lasagna. What I was given resembled nothing like Shepards pie. It was a lot of ground beef mixed with corn with a scoop of mashed potatoes and gravy on top. It was an abomination and an affront to Irish cuisine. Shame on Celts for calling this Shepards Pie. It looked terrible, and the taste really wasn't much better. 2/10. I don't want to totally flame Celts. The Guinness was poured properly and the two bartenders were great. When I mentioned that what I was given was far from Shepards Pie, the sweet lady working the bar looked at me with a cheeky grin and shrugged as if it wasn't the first time she heard this, saying "Yeah, I'm not quite sure what they are doing back there."

    Staff were friendly! Went for St. Patricks day around 3 pm and they were already out of green beer! We tried the Reuben rolls and got some other beers. Prices were average. Definitely has dive bar vibes.

    Bangers and mash for an old Irish feel!

    We had a soccer tournament and were looking for a place for the team to hang out and eat in-between games. Celts wasn't huge but they did an awesome job of accommodating us, especially when we weren't sure how many of us there would be. Good was great and the service was awesome. Hats off for handling a big group right when opening on a Saturday morning.

    Friendly neighborhood Irish Pub where Rosemount locals come to eat and socialize! Dark, musical, friendly, and traditional. A professional staff with excellent service. The food is made in house and each day brings different specials feom the menu. Their Fish & Chips on Fridays is generally breaded and seasoned to perfection. The spicing varies, which can make the fish better or worse depending on the day. A go to for those in Rosemount and a good pit stop en route to or from the Twin Cities!

    This is what $10.95 "loaded" waffle fry appetizer looks like. Don't order this.

    Don't eat here. It's probably a good place to watch a game or drink a beer but my food experience was a joke. Loaded waffle fries are kinda my thing if I'm eating at a bar so I was excited to see them on the appetizer menu described as: topped with melted cheddar jack cheese, bacon bits, topped with chives and served with seasoned sour cream. What can go wrong with that? And for $10.95 they must be amazing, right? Granite City charges $11.25 and theirs are amazing. Celts? Ummmm, no. I received a basket of under-cooked waffle fries about 1.5 layers deep with a tiny bit of melted cheese on top and maybe a 1/4 of a piece of chopped up bacon on top. A complete joke for $10.95.

    Dining activity.

    Thought we would try this place as we were looking for a new restaurant and we were glad we did!…read more I ordered the lunch fish and chips: amazing! The fish was so tender! The lunch size was perfect for me! My husband got the burger. I tried a bite and the meat was SO good!! Our only complaint is we didn't love the fries. Our server was great. He was very friendly and nice. I felt like it was a little cold inside, I had to keep my jacket on while we were there. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. We will be back!

    Stopped in with some friends for the first time this week. Service was nearly nonexistent…read more Ordering was slow. Getting drinks was slow. The bar was nearly empty, there were maybe 5 people in the bar/restaurant when we arrived. I don't think it was slow on the bartenders part as much as it was our server. A couple Guinness, a black and tan and a hot cider later, we waited to order food. While eating we decided we didn't want to wait any longer for our server so we went to the bar to ask for waters, our drinks long gone at this point. We also got up to get our own ketchup. Burger was fine but mostly flavorless. Cottage pie was fine, had I not been starving I likely wouldn't have eaten as much as I did. The food was just OK, nothing memorable or spectacular about it. Prices were pretty high for what it was, $17 for a cheeseburger is pretty outrageous, cottage pie in a ramekin was $18. Server wasn't very friendly, or was just in a bad mood that day. She spent a lot of time in the back (this was between major meal times, around 3:30-4) so she didn't seem super engaged or have much desire to be out on the floor. 3% surcharge for credit card

We went for dinner and I was very impressed with their wide selection. I got the dill pickle chicken sandwich and thought the chicken sandwich was really crispy and I really liked their aioli with my fries. I didn't really taste the dill of the pickle spread, however, if you want the dill you can get the dill pickle pizza which one of our friends got and really enjoyed. Husband got the Bacon Patty Melt and he enjoyed it and our other friend got one of the dishes from the tacos, bowls and naan section, which we discovered you can get any of those made as those three options, which I thought was such a cool way to make the menu fit everyone. I actually didn't have any beer but I did have a couple cocktails off the spring cocktail menu and loved both. My friends really enjoyed the Lime Bubble beer and were excited they could buy some to bring back to Wisconsin. The server was the right amount of attentive, we ate inside and I like the mix of restaurant and brewery vibe they had going on. Will definitely go back.

    We headed out to IGB after a recommendation from a client of mine!…read more Plenty of parking in their dedicated lot! Sizeable patio available for those willing to battle the heat! The interior is giving industrial sports bar vibes, with TVs playing your favorite game, and wood/metal accents throughout the space. Bar, hightop, and table seating indoors. We didn't have a wait at 6pm on a Saturday evening. Staff was busy, but checked in often and were friendly throughout the stay! Lots of beer options, as well as a full bar! I had the Coffee Ale, which was lovely! Subtle notes of coffee in a smooth sipper. Enjoyed the Dill Pickle Chicken Sandwich for dinner, which was a great portion, savory, and delicious. Overall, a really solid meal! Our only constructive criticism was that the Onion Soup that my partner ordered came out luke warm, which was less than desirable. If we wanted to make a fuss, we could have sent it back, but decided against that!

When I asked the waitress if I could pay for my beer, she then acknowledged she was slow, but couldn't help it because they were understaffed. Sorry, not good enough.
