I'm obsessed with the Reuben egg rolls, and the fish and chips are to die for. They also have Magners, which I love and don't see on many menus, so that's always a major bonus. The dark Irish pub feel is cozy and fun, and the live music makes the experience even better. There's also a huge outdoor patio with great vibes, especially when you want to enjoy your meal and drinks outside. It's not necessarily my favorite place to bring my kids, but it's a fantastic spot for a night out with friends. My only real request is for more vegetarian options. My best friend is vegetarian, and there aren't many choices for her right now. Please add some great vegetarian dishes so I can bring her more often! Overall, Mary O'Neil's has delicious pub favorites, a fun atmosphere, live music, a great patio, and Magners. Add a few more vegetarian options, and it would be even easier to make this one of my regular spots.

I would have never guessed that there was a bar here by the tracks had my boyfriend not brought me here. It's a local dive bar with a lot of great personality. The personality's come from many directions too! It's so hard not to have a good time. The owner, Bobby, is so nice and humble. I had only been there a couple of Football Sundays and he recognized me (also.. there probably not that many crazy haired Asians walking in daily, but yeah) and knew what I ordered. I love that "local" feel especially when I just moved to a brand new state and I feel out of touch no matter where I go! The bartender's are also stellar. In my visits there, I have noticed a couple of different women working the bar, but Brittany is my go-to! She is badass. For example, I was there for their NYE's party and she was single-handedly holding. it. down. Remember what drinks we ordered, ready to replenish, and even made me a custom shot though she was slammed. As a HUGE bonus: She's a NY Jets fan. :D I've come during the day and during the night as well. Each time I have seen familiar faces, which is always a good sign! Everyone is usually having a really great time and if there is ever any issues, the bad apple is taken care of immediately. Everyone is truly so nice and friendly. I've never had so many random, genuine conversations with people I have never met before in my life. They have multiple TVs, so there isn't an issue trying to catch whatever game you're into. Basket hoop game thing, virtual golf, and other things to keep the boys occupied. Bathroom is ALWAYS clean (another big plus!) each time I've gone. It's a hard working, low-key bar with high quality delivery and service. DEFINITELY recommend if you are in H-ville, looking to hang with the local scene and grab some awesome drinks.

What a wonderful neighborhood hangout! It's truly a modern day "Cheers"…read more Kenzie is such a great bartender and never fails to make you feel welcome. The prices are a lot less expensive with a great selection and specials. They don't serve food but they also don't care if you bring it with you.

I was told that the original location is in Concord, and later found out that they don't just brew beer, but also mead! We came in on a Friday night after dinner and it was lively but not over crowded with a performer up on stage playing guitar and singing some classics. In addition to their beer and mead, they have a list of creative cocktails as well as a food menu. The food coming out looked great! If we weren't full from dinner we would have surely indulged. Overall the vibe isn't typical for a brewery and feels more like a neighborhood pub, they even have arcade games and pool tables, things you're most likely to find at a dive than a micro brewery. I loved the atmosphere and everyone enjoyed their beverages. They had a cheer wine cider that was especially tasty. Not I need to go check out the OG, but this location in Locust is top notch.

Five Points Public House definitely has the best service of any restaurant in Stanly County. My husband and I dine there for date nights, and we have received consistently friendly and helpful service. The food is also very good. I particularly like the chicken tacos and the queso dip and chips. We have never had to wait very long for our food, and it is always fresh. I recommend Five Points for anyone looking for a nice place for a date or a night out with friends. read more

I left still not liking the food and most of my friends didn't either. My husband said the Philly cheesesteak was delicious. But he is the only one who enjoyed his meal lol. The service was extremely slow. The second day our waitress took our drink order, disappeared for 20 minutes and then came back to ask for our food order and we had asked for our drinks and gave her our orders and then she came back like 15 minutes later and said she forgot what we all ordered. There was four of us. About 45 minutes later when three out of four of us got our food I had to ask the waitress where my husbands food was and one said they forgot to put it on the ticket and the other said the kitchen forgot it. (The chef did come and apologize) The food takes almost an hour to get. No matter what you order. It took awhile to get any condiments. Youll have to ask for stuff multiple times. The staff was friendly though. Some old lady fussed at us on the third day because apparently she left her phone there but none of us heard it ringing we had also just gotten there a couple minutes prior ( super weird) i think she was a customer. The tater tots and Cole slaw are really good though.

The place was clean and the seats were booth style with plenty of tummy room to slide in and be able to breathe comfortably. The food was AMAZING! The codfish sandwich coating was seasoned great but the fish itself could've used a lil razzle dazzle of salt and pepper but it was great! We ordered a veggie plate with Mac n cheese, which was good but not baked style which is my personal preference. The hush puppies were light with a nice crispy crunch exterior. The collard greens were OK, cooked down good but could've used a lil kick to them, again just a personal preference. The star of the show was the sweet potato yams! It had a marshmallow melted topping but they were seasoned perfectly! And since we went on a Monday they do offer daily specials, that day it was pot roast. Boy was that delicious! It was so tender it was falling apart while trying to pick it up. The gravy was spot on! It's a lunch/dinner spot but well with it. Definitely will return again.

The fried okra had a hard fry on it, so it wasn't slimy at all. The fried squash was good too. The tenderloin could be grilled or fried, but I ordered it fried, and had enough for two meals.
