I always order YiFang from next door and while I wait for my order, I've always been curious about Fiddler's Green. It only took 3 years before I paid them a visit and now I'm kicking myself - why didn't I come here sooner?! Been to the UK, Dublin, and Scotland a few years back and wanted to get an assortment of food so I ordered way more than what we could finish but, definitely think we had a good sampling of the dishes. This place was totally a nostalgia trip for me. Order was made via phone and paid in person. They also have a lot of outdoor seating and seeing as it's in Milbrae, the weather often makes it pleasant to eat out. App plater - basically a tasting menu of most of their popular fried apps. Potato skins were basically scallion baked potatoes with all the Fixin's, probably my least favorite and I'd stick to a standard baked potato. Sausage rolls were like the breakfast sausages - good and nothing wrong with them! Chicken wings were seasoned well and very juicy. Pepperjack quesadillas felt like they were from left field because there was nothing remotely Irish about it - this might just be standard bar food and we'd be happy to do without it. Onion rings - actual whole onion rings - the people around me are fans of it Beer battered mushrooms - this was like a drug. Champignon mushrooms have a tendency of getting rather tasteless due to the amount of liquid it releases when it gets cooked. So the batter was a bit heavier on the seasoning ....at least that's how it tasted, which then balanced out with the mushrooms. GET THIS! Fish & Chips - fish to batter ratio is on point. The fish is battered enough to crisp up yet you get the juiciness from the inside (there are some places that have more batter than fish which is a total no-no). The chunky tarter and slaw were also a great side. Nothing else to say - it's just good food. Bangers and mash - another staple. The sausage skin was a tad tough but other than that flavor was there and I was a sucker for the baked beans for some reason. Seriously random stuff sometimes...right? Shepherds Pie - Never had shepherds pie before and seeing that it got tons of reviews, I made a last-min addition to my order which the clerk told me literally took 2-3 mins to prepare. Given all the positive reviews of this, Separately the different components were good but as a whole, my brain wasn't working the way it should. I know it's supposed to be good, I came to realize shepherd's pie just wasn't my jam. Now I see where the hype is for this place - nicely done! read more

Fiddler's never disappoints! One of our favorite spots! Great service and fun atmosphere! Food is on point!

Quick visit in for some appetizers and drinks. Met up with a few friends. As we sat, the server took our drink and appetizers orders right away. Within seconds we received our unsweetened iced teas. For the appetizers we tried the chicken quesadillas and spicy chicken wings. *Chicken Quesadillas = 5 Stars. These were surprisingly, really tasty as they were packed with chicken, cheese, bell peppers and flavor! I would order these if I were you! On the side comes, sour cream, generic Picante salsa and generic guacamole (definitely not made in house). *Spicy Wings = 1 Star. I would pass on these in the future. Wayyyyy to much batter, even after two bites, you still don't get chicken, just batter. Kinda disgusting. The dipping sauces that came on the side were ranch and blue cheese. Basic, basic. Luckily we sat on the table next to where the food came out of the kitchen. Some of the sandwiches that came out of the kitchen looked pretty good and we saw an order of corn beef and cabbage come out... all looked delicious. Huge plus is they had all their TVs playing the Golden State Warriors game, so huge plus for my friends and I! read more

This place has been a family fav - fun bar Irish restaurant. Rose and team are warm like family, always so kind and welcoming. They couldn't have been more kind to us when we hosted an event there for my sister. read more

I've eaten here dozens of times over the decades so it's time that I leave a review. My favorites: Shepard's pie, Irish stew, bangers and of course, corned beef and cabbage. It is always the same... great food, excellent service in an informal, family friendly pub atmosphere. read more

This is a great example of a local watering hole. I know it bills itself as Irish, but I didn't get too much of that flair. The crowd was lively and diverse, that's cool. I arrived around 10:30 on a Saturday night and the kitchen had already closed, so that was disappointing. Despite missing out on the food, I did have a couple of beers, both were fine. Of course, they had all of the typical Irish stuff, plus a few locals. People at the bar were friendly and the atmosphere was good. It appeared to be the only place in Millbrae that was open that late, so I suspect I will be back if I'm ever staying at the (wonderful & cute) Dylan hotel again. read more

Fiddlers Green - Harp. That's Irish, right? - Irish Near Me - Millbrae, California

Really cute underrated spot on El Camino in Millbrae. An authentic Irish pub with a great full menu and stellar service. Really enjoyed the fish and chips. Well cooked and nice breading. Corned beef was also excellent and they know how to put together a great plate of nachos. Took our party of 9 happily - great service. Only downside was burger was a bit plain. Basic bun and over cooked patty. Maybe not their signature dish, but still. read more

I am a snob. And NOT proud of it. I'm supremely sorry that we've been living here for 26 years--and only once, 20+ years ago, did we come here. Back then, super noisy and crowded on a Fri night, and the food ho hum, and since we don't drink, we never came back. BIG mistake. The other morning I had a craving for Welsh rarebit, which though they don't have, we went thinking we'd get the bangers and mash. First off, we walk in--the place is stunning inside, gorgeous polished burnished light wood everywhere with stained color windows, all glittering glass, honeyed drops of color everywhere, with round and square tables, it looks a bit like a transplant from the UK, Ireland ... and I know because I grew up in London. It's incredibly beautiful inside, lovely sophisticated decor, with lots and lots of glamorous old world vintage-like charm. It's absolutely the perfect place to meet someone for a light bite or for a drink, and I never ever thought of it, not even once. We got their tomato basil soup, which was their daily spacial, rocking with flavor and creaminess, loaded heavily with flavorful basil and freshly cracked pepper. They're bangers and mash with two over easy eggs, sautéed onions, mashed potatoes, and rich brown gravy. Wow wow wow. The bangers an ugly generous portion and enough for four people--not an overstatement. My husband and I easily shared that dish and left a ton on the plate. They do not skimp. The food is super fresh and the ingredients top notch, the fact that I scarfed down that plate of meat, potatoes, baked beans (which the plate comes with)--and had zero GI issues afterwards, is a testimony to their commitment to excellence. The bangers, quality of meat in those sausages and the cooking technique where the skin is crisped to perfection, the interior beautifully left moist, the onions sautéed and browned without rushing, the gravy obviously house made. I am not a bread person, but when they brought--or rather our server, LETICIA, was incredible and amazingly on the ball, not at all phoning it in. She was sweet and warm and well-intentioned, friendly and generous. So Leticia brings the bread and I am blown away. One bite and I knew this was no ordinary store or bakery bought bread. No, the texture super moist and dense, with serious heft to it. We asked about where they buy it, and Leticia says that they make/bake it in house. Whaaaaat? This place is not only a pub but also a restaurant .... And now, a bakery to boot? She tells us that the bread is available by the loaf or sale, so naturally we buy a loaf of their dense German like bread plus another loaf of their raisin bread, which my husband loved. We got the eggs over easy with the bangers and mash, because the dish is part of not their breakfast section, but part of their classics. We loved loved the vibe of this place, and can't wait to go back. I'm thinking that I'll go backing the afternoon with a girlfriend, more for the vibe than for anything else, they have all manners of non alcoholic hot and cold rinks plus little snacks and lunch time stuff. They have a beautiful patio with heat lamps and on a beautiful forgiving day, can eat outside. Though the charm inside is unbeatable. The prices for everything is more than reasonable, especially for the portion sizes and the ambience, as I've described, can't be beat. Leticia, our server if anybody could get so lucky, should be everyone's experience when they go here :-) read more

Delicious! Ordered to go. Picked up the Bangers and mash, and the Irish stew. Both were very flavorful and filling. Definitely coming back to try other items. Parking was a little rough but worth it. It's a nice change from all the asian food around here. Hidden gem! read more

Sis n I stopped for lunch after today's farmers market. We waited a short time for a table to become available on the sidewalk. I enjoyed hearing our server "E's" language pronunciations too. I had the Irish breakfast, the black and white pudding was interesting and I liked the Irish ham. Sis had the Irish sausage rolls which I wanted to try but didn't have room. Portion size was generous that we had leftovers to go. Next time I'd like to try the fish and chips and bangers! read more

Great Irish Breakfast and great friendly customer service provided by two living legends of Fiddlers Karen and Sarah who are always friendly and at the top of there game!!!! If you are looking for great food and drinks, Fiddlers is a must stop for a great meal! read more

Excellent service and delish dishes. Outdoor dining was perfect. We ordered the beer battered mushrooms (unique!), garlic fries and Irish stew. Will definitely return to try other items. read more

Came here on a Sunday with some buddies to watch football. Lots of families, but was definitely a vibe. All people standing up, smiling and having a good time. The staff was good about checking in on you. Surprisingly, the bread that is free was kinda bomb lol. I ordered the eggs Benedict and it was pretty good. Irish bacon tasted like a mix between ham and bacon. The hollandaise sauce looked artificial due to the neon yellow color, but tasted fine. Little bit expensive but fun experience. read more

We came here once with our friends a while back and not sure why we forgot about this place. So, we decided to come back once again for dinner and let me tell you, we were blown away! It's your typical Irish sports bar but with some amazing food that makes you feel like an O.G. Irish grandmother is in the kitchen cooking up some of her specialties. Home cooked meal at a sports bar, happy days! We tried the Irish Sausage Rolls, Shepherds Pie and the Irish Stew, it was delicious. The meat was so tender and just melts in your mouth and nothing was over salted it was just perfect. Can't wait to come back to try more items on the menu. Oh, and the best part is you can always enjoy your favorite sports on tv as you enjoy your meal. Best of both worlds. read more

This is the kind of place you envision when you think "Irish Pub." Very cozy place in one of the more remote areas of San Francisco; a short drive from SFO airport. A few friends were looking for a place to grab a pint, and this place did not disappoint. Nice atmosphere, great friendly staff - our bartender Sarah was terrific. Only disappointment is we did not get to have food here, looks like a place that would have great bar food. read more

I love this spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It has a variety of food whether your in the mood for some bar food or coming in with a big crowd for a meal. They have some delicious Irish dishes that are hard to find in the Bay Area. Fiddler's is a classic local spot that is welcoming to all. Great vibes, great energy, family owned. I highly recommend. read more

Food was terrible - I'm British and was very disappointed with the fish and chips - awful .

Soooooo good! Margaritas and dungeons crab/avocado melt! Lovely outdoor seating. Delicious food. The margaritas were a little weak but it could also be due to me making own drinks for the past year Well priced and tasty! You have to get the garlic fries though, they are perfectly crisp and go with any drink! Cheers! read more

For years we walked past Fiddler's Green thinking it was just a bar. Truth is they also are a wonderful restaurant. They make my favorite fish and chips. My husband loves their lamb or fresh fish. The people who work there are always friendly and provide great service. Atmosphere is charming and clean. read more

From the outside, Fiddler's Green hardly looks impressive. And certainly, in a town like MillbrAsia, one wouldn't necessarily expect to find an Irish pub, let alone one that isn't divey in the least. However, it's a total gem. I first came here just to watch some World Cup matches, but instead, I found my go-to bar in the area! While all of their tables and TV's (including a giant projector screen) make them the best (and possibly only) spot in the area to catch a game, it's actually the menu that seals deal. Full of typical Irish pub fare, in addition to a slate of breakfast, salads, burgers, and sandwiches, Fiddler's Green offers plenty a variety of dishes you won't easily find elsewhere. Plus, they have Calsberg on tap! -- FISH & CHIPS - Deep Fried Rock Cod served with Tartar Sauce, Coleslaw and Fries...$14 (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/fiddlers-green-millbrae?userid=JKIkdVqAJLEXTq92gF98bA#xuGJDLPTIY6rxW3AAL93RQ) The quintessential pub dish I just had to try...and it was terrific. Three sizable, delicious pieces of cod, fried to a crisp, golden brown. What's not to like? Well, other than the slaw (too heavy on the mayo), but the fries were perfect - so good! -- MURPHY BURGER - Topped with Irish Bacon and Swiss Cheese...$10 (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/fiddlers-green-millbrae?userid=JKIkdVqAJLEXTq92gF98bA#yGavx9ykeQL5BxYWcphrdQ) Not to say that I didn't think it'd be good, but this was such a pleasant surprise. The patty itself was solid, but it was the addition of the Irish bacon's slightly fatty and salty meatiness that did it for me (it's a cross between bacon and Canadian bacon). A very solid burger that came with a nice mound of their awesome fries! As good as the food was though, service hasn't been perfect. While dishes come out quickly, and although everyone is quite friendly, there's one worker who isn't very attentive. I don't want to call him/her out, but twice, he/she was too busy watching the game to notice me walking in and to take my order. Nothing terrible, but still worth mentioning. At the same time though, it won't stop me from coming back again. read more

Love this spot. But sadly our most recent experience was disappointing. My family and I love the Irish breakfast here. Usually it comes with a big portion and has Irish bread, brown bread and white bread. This time the Irish breakfast was definitely cut in half (same price but way less food) and only had white bread. It was packed and there was only one server. She was great but we felt bad and had to keep asking for coffee refills, napkins etc. they needed more help. We hope things go back to normal soon, especially the food portions! read more

Awesome Bar, with TVs, and Great Food! Parking can be difficult but well worth. Full Bar with Beers on tap and bottles. The Food looks amazing.

Came by for dinner the other evening. Upon arrival, I didn't notice any smell that Yelpers were mentioning. The bartender/waiter was very friendly throughout our entire visit. The pub is a "seat-yourself" type. Started off with the Fish n Chips for $13. The fish was slightly oily with the batter a little too thick. The fish itself was good but the fish at Duke of Edinburgh was much better in terms of thickness and quality. The fries were okay. The Shepard's Pie for $13 was mediocre. The ground beef on the bottom had an odd sour taste...maybe the beef was putrid? The mashed potatoes were instant...and there was too much. I'm not sure why they added cheese on top... The corn tortilla daily soup left much to be desired too... read more

I actually grew up in Millbrae and this place has been here for as loooong as I could remember. Fast forward to my 31st year of life and i FINALLY decided to give it a try!!! I came in during lunch time on July 5. (I know this review is a few months late but I really only remember the exact date bc my buddy and I were soooo hungover from the day before!) My friend and I were in dire need of good food and a beer (bc ya know, hungover). Anyways, somehow the stars aligned and FIDDLERS popped into my head!!! Like I said before, we came during lunch time... ON A WEEKDAY! There was a handful of people at the bar (regulars? friends of the bartender? Friends of the owner? Idk, but it was a good vibe!) since all the tables were available it took us a few seconds to decide which one to occupy. Once we FINALLY decide, our server was on point from the get go! I know the place was pretty much empty but still... I know you've been to almost empty establishments and the SERVICE STILL SUCKED. But not here! THEY KNOW WHASUP! ok, so now you know they handle business. You wanna know what I thought about the food, don't you? From what I remember, THE FOOD WAS GREAT! Again, we were hungover so we really just wanted to carbo load and have a drink (hair of the dog or whatever they call it). I'm gonna go ahead and post pictures of our food! Thanks for reading this super long review (according to my date). I hope you found it useful! Oh and they only lost a star bc the deep fried mushrooms were SUPER OILY. The batter was HELLA GOOD tho! read more

Food was pretty good. Beef stew was decent, fish and chips were quite good... but service was horrible. Staff stands around the register and talks and laughs, ignoring the customers. Never asked if we wanted another drink. After waiting for an insufferable time, I gave up and had to get up and go over and ask for our check. Horrible service is enough to make me never go back. read more

We loved this palce. We went last valentines for a short cocktails the ambience is very nice and they all make you feel welcome.

I got lucky and found this place just across the street from my hotel. I could have hit it with a thrown leprechaun it was so close! This is just a great little Irish pub. Great decor and friendly service. Unfortunately they were out of Harp, but Guinness always serves me well. I actually had my Guinness along with a glass of Red Breast Irish Whiskey, which I had not had before. Quite good! They have a good selection of food as well. I was not really hungry and was going to try the Irish sausage appetizer but found they were out of those. In fairness I was there right before the kitchen shut down. They had a few other Irish dishes including a Guinness stew and bangers and mash. Fiddlers Green is definitely worth and stop. I can't attest to how traditional it really is, having never been to Ireland yet. But I am going next year and I am planning to do plenty of research while I am there! read more

Fiddlers Green - Bar area - Irish Near Me - Millbrae, California

We've been here a few times now on weekdays for dinner. Service in the beginning is fast but of course as the dinner rush begins to pick up, they forget about you a little. Fortunately, we weren't in a rush, but several times we tried to get the waitresses' attention as they walked by but they didn't look us at all (about 3-4x's), and that can get frustrating. The food is delicious-- we went with the paddy melt (I asked for French roll instead of rye) and the hubs got fish and chips... a Stella and whiskey. All-in-all, good food and drink. Service is decent-okay. It's a safe go-to for dinner. read more
