    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.

My go to is a Sicilian pizza which is salty, slightly spicy and full of meat. The toppings steal the show for this pizza.

This time my mom and I went and we agreed, it's not quite the same, but still pretty tasty! When we first walked in, we were not greeted... rather the boy at the front said "why are you here?" We thought that was super strange and I asked "are you closing?" He said "no" and just stood there... We said "ok well can we get a table then?" And he said "oh sure, just pick one" Not a great start. However, our waitress was wonderful! I didn't get her name but she was an older woman with long black and white hair. She was so sweet and took very good care of our table! We got onion rings whichwere great! They had a crunch and the onions were done well! Im not sure if they were beer battered, but it tasted that way! They are served with a side of ketchup. My mom got the chicken dinner with a baked potato and coleslaw. She said it was all very good! She said it did taste different than years ago, but still very good! My boys and I got the thin crust half cheese half pepperoni pizza. Again not quite the same as what I remember but very tasty! This is a very greasy pizza which would probably taste amazing with a cold beer and a game on the tv!

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

The beef patty is a little under seasoned and I would've liked a little more cheese inside the Juicy Lucy patty. The waffle fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

The queso and toppings were spread out over all the chips so there weren't a bunch of chips at the bottom that had no queso or toppings on it. I had the snack size of the Golden BBQ bone-in wings. The wings were juicy and I liked the sweetness paired with the slight vinegar tang in the golden BBQ sauce. The snack size had 5 wings. Service is fast and there is plenty of seating available, with a mix of tables and booths.
