We didn't reserve in advance (which I now highly recommend). The wait was about an hour, but we passed the time at the nearby Churchill with a pre‑drink, and they texted us when our table was ready. The Sunday night jazz band was fantastic. The staff is incredibly friendly, and they work together as a team to take care of you. Amber was our primary server - she was great. Service for both drinks and food was quick, and the cozy Irish pub atmosphere made it even better. Definitely try to reserve ahead on the website if you can. If not, just plan to relax at one of the nearby pubs until your table is ready.

Parking in NOTL always a bit of a challenge especially if you don't want to pay! Wife enjoyed her 1+1 - 2 different fish filets with chips. I had the Irish Experience of three different meat pies. Each did have a unique taste. A filling and interesting dish. Murphy's stout on tap was Devine. Wife found her NA Moscow mule good but, given no alcohol, she felt the serving volume was low. Less than $100 CA all-in seemed reasonable for a fairly authentic Irish meal.

Service was slow, but that wasn't really the waitress's fault - they clearly aren't staffing the place appropriately. She was evidently on her own in the front of the house. As a result, our drinks weren't refreshed, and we waited for a long time between her visits to the table. The chicken sandwich had looked (in the menu photo) amazing - notably in the photo it was covered with a huge amount of coleslaw. When it arrived it seemed like they had run out of coleslaw and were trying to stretch it by using only a tiny amount. I tried to get the waitress's attention to ask for more, but was finished my lunch by the time she paid us any attention. My wife's fish was fine. It is served with a side of coleslaw too - a very small amount again. My son found his burger to be very basic - a small step up from the sort of thing you get at a fast food joint. We all had fries with our lunches. The fries were actually very good. But, like the coleslaw, it was as if they were running low. All of us remarked on how few fries were on our plates. It seems very odd to be stingy with the cheapest things on our plates. Coleslaw and fries cost virtually nothing. My wife caters, and she routinely comps her customers slaw, for that reason. It's an easy, and very inexpensive, way to ensure customers feel like they're getting value. In any case, we were unimpressed, and won't be back.

Regulars are vulgar and you will hear a lot of homophobic, sexist, and transphobic hate speech. Owners have allowed this to evolve. Food is not authentic Irish food, many pasta dishes on the menu and don't expect good quality. Pasta is served with powdered parmesan from a bottle. Sour cream and salsa doesn't come with the taco salad - you pay extra. Fish is always over cooked on the outside and soggy batter on the inside. Portions are small and prices are big! This place had potential.

Returned on Sun with some friends and enjoyed ourselves till the duo entertaining dragged in some amplifiers and electric instruments. The place only holds 45 peeps so you can judge yourselves how much amplification was needed. How do things like this happen? Beer was cold enough and the snack was acceptable. Most patrons were friendly. May drop in again.

It was located in a shared parking lot with a motel so there was plenty of parking. The interior was decorated nicely and truly felt like an Irish pub. I had the Taste of Ireland which consisted of your choice of 3 different pies. I went for Shepard, chicken pot, and one other. Our waitress was friendly and attentive during our visit. She made some good beer recommendations and they had a good selection of choices. Right when we were leaving they even had a live guitarist begin playing Inside the restaurant. Great vibe and atmosphere all around.

Tasty Pub Fare, Great Vibes & Even Better Reuben Bites!…read more Doc Magilligan's is a cozy Irish pub with a solid menu, a great beer selection, and a lively atmosphere. We really enjoyed the live music--it definitely added to the vibe, though it did make chatting a bit tricky at times. That said, the sets were short and added a fun touch to the evening. We started with a few appetizers, and everything hit the spot--the cauliflower bites were tasty, the spinach dip was solid, but the star was definitely the Reuben Bites--absolutely delicious! For mains, my wife ordered the mac and cheese and loved the depth of flavour--you can really taste the leeks, which was a nice twist. I got the chicken parm mac and cheese and thought it was fantastic--the chicken was juicy, crispy, and perfectly done. The rest of our group was just as happy--my brother raved about the Chicken Pot Pie, and the Bangers and Mash were also a hit. Overall, a great Irish pub experience with comforting food, friendly vibes, and some standout dishes. Definitely worth a visit!

Started with ice cold wine and beer. Delish. Daughter and mom each ordered the bruschetta flatbread. Mom loved it, daughter hated it. Rightly claimed you should not decorate it with ranch dressing. I ordered the turkey avocado club. Liked it. Had lettuce, tomatoes, a slice of Kraft processed singles, pickled onions, chipotle mayo. What it promised and was unfortunately missing was the avocado, which was supposed to come as guacamole. Would have been nice to have it and I probably should have said something. Next time. Came with fries which were excellent. If I'm ever in the area again,will be back.

While I wouldn't expect a pub to have great salads, I was quite pleased with the quality and portion size of their Cobb Salad. I ordered it without any modifications, but in retrospect I think it might have been better if I switched the blue cheese (original) for feta cheese - I'm biased though. The day after, I ended up ordering their Caesar Salad over the phone, for takeout. It was great too, although the dressing could have a bit more garlic - I'm also biased on this topic :) Service was quite fast and all servers were courteous, and wearing masks. The pub also offers a lesser known, and therefore quiet back patio with a few tables and large umbrellas. And I'm not talking about the one you see right when you walk out the back door. There is another one behind that. I only found out about it when I left, but it was quite welcoming and I will consider going again to sit at the (second) back patio!

Service was very limited - take order and bring order. Everyone was involved in the set up leaving the patrons on their own. There were little flies and a moth buzzing around which was a bit annoying. Fish and chips: The fries were the standard fare. The vaster in the dis was good with just enough crisp to it. The fish however could use some seasoning. It came with some cold slaw which didn't have much flavour. Fish taco - lots of batter - 1 piece of fish which also needed seasoning. Sauce and topping minimal but good Caesar salad - lots of sauce. Too Tangy. Overall OK.

Two fellows occupied another table. Hmmm, where is everybody? Despite being an Irish Pub, the owners appeared to be Indian. All the staff that I saw were Indian, including the lone server/bartender. Now, that's not a bad thing because I love Indian food. I was actually quite happy! I just never expected it to be disguised as an Irish pub. I chose the Butter Chicken (Authentic creamy butter chicken sauce served with rice and naan bread). It was actually quite good but not quite up to the standard of an authentic Indian restaurant. It seemed to be lacking some of the creaminess that I've become used to in butter chicken. So this was very good, but perhaps not as authentic as I was hoping for. The rest of the place looked like what I would expect from an Irish pub. The (faux) worn furniture, the dart boards, the pool table. the fireplace, a good variety of beer on tap. Hopefully the evening crowd is better. There is one thing that I found to be a turnoff - the strong smell of air freshener or some kind of cleaning agent. Tone this down for a better, more natural experience. Please.

Too bad, nice patio, and great food, but I'll leave it to the inmates. Mackenzie's, magwyers, portly, st. Louis, even Boston pizza respect your air.
