Came here for a drink while my grandma had an appointment and we sat at the bar. The bartender was very attentive and super kind! I got an Aperol spritz and it was lovely. The bar is a wrap around so there is plenty of seating. They also had free standing tables to sit at too. We had such a lovely time that we ended up making a reservation for dinner to celebrate my parents anniversary. We first ordered the firecracker shrimp as an appetizer. OMG these are sooo good and to die for. I got the chicken parmesan for dinner and that was very delicious. Both the crème brûlée and brownie sundae were incredible. If I had to choose one, I'd go back for the brownie sundae. Our waiter for dinner wasn't the best and just seemed like he was going through the motions so I would have preferred if he had been a little more engaged. Thankfully we weren't in a rush! Overall I would definitely recommend this place!! read more

Food was great , server was very attentive . Came here while visiting family because it was nostalgic for my husband and I. Houlihan's was our go to spot while dating, 30 years ago . Our city no longer had them. Salmon BLT was amazing , very refreshing and fresh, they did not skimp on the salmon at all. read more

Houlihan's is one of our favorite go-tos, and for good reason! Even though it's usually a little busy, we've never had to wait for a table, which is such a pleasant surprise. The parking is always something we struggle to find, but the total wine next door usually makes it easier.. I always get the parmesan-crusted walleye because it's just that good- crispy, flavorful, and perfectly done every time. The mashed potatoes are a must, too!! My husband is loyal to the jambalaya and orders it every single visit. The portion is generous, so he always has leftovers, and the best part is that it reheats just as well. Between the consistently great food, friendly service, and reliable experience, Houlihan's never disappoints! read more

We haven't been to Houlihan's in years. I use to love their Southwest Chicken wrap. Came back to find out they have it on the menu again. It was good however it wasn't as spectacular as I remember it. The service was good. Ambiance is the same. Nothing to write home about but no complaints either. A decent meal if you don't want to cook and just want a quick meal out. read more

I have to preface this with the fact that I don't typically take the time to write reviews, but I wanted to call out the exceptional service my friend and I received at lunch at Houlihan's today. Our server, Diego Cotua, was truly a pleasant surprise. He managed to find the exact right balance between being attentive and giving us space to catch up when we were talking through a variety of life's challenges. We enjoy going to Houlihan's, it's one of our "go-tos", but the service hasn't always blown us away. The manager today shared that Diego worked his way into his current position, and it's easy to see why. If he was my server every time I went to Houlihan's, I would be there every day for the simple pleasure of having someone who seemed to genuinely want us to enjoy every moment of our experience. read more

Great Staff. This issue is that their TV's in the bar have been hit or miss whether they work or not. Supposedly not a sports bar but only sports is allowed on the TVs (strange). Anyway, they should invest in smart tvs and streaming services that are far more reliable than Mediacom. I've noticed that staff is also very frustrated with their tv's and I'm sure it is affecting their business. read more

Decent meal as we were in the area after visiting Chanhassen dinner theater. We started with a dinner salad and cup of French onion soup before our entrees. Both were good. We also had the meatloaf and chicken finger entree. Meatloaf was ok, was a little bland in flavor. Chicken fingers were standard. Portion was huge, almost to big. Scott was our server and he was great, very nice. read more

We had such a lovely experience here! The restaurant is beautiful and gives off the perfect vibe for a nice date night. The Chicken Parmesan was delicious and the Happy Hour 2 for $10 house wine was awesome! Shout out to our waitress, Isabel M., who was SO friendly, attentive, and kind!! Looking forward to coming back! read more

The ribs were good. Just a tad spicey. The Mac & cheese leaves much to be desired. I get better Mac & cheese at Famous Dave's in Minnetonka Mn. When told the waitress I wanted a takeout box, I told her I couldn't eat this. There is no cheese. She looked at me and said-You can take it & put cheese on it. I looked at her as if she lost her damn mind. Not a happy camper! read more

Great food, good service and nice atmosphere! We always enjoy going to Houlihan's. They also have a good "Happy Hour"

Wow, I discovered a dish at this old haunt that I liked so much I got it three times in a week: Georges Bank Scallops with asparagus risotto. Perfectly cooked all-round, from the translucent, creamy scallops to the delicious risotto. Perfect. I have also recently enjoyed the baked French onion soup; however the loaded baked potato soup was disappointingly kind of bland. Those scallops, though. So yummy. read more

This is a regular spot for my husband and me. It has a large parking lot. We are always greeted with a warm welcome. When there is a bit of a wait we make our way over to the bar to get our drinks started ahead of time. We haven't felt the need to make a reservation yet. We have found the bartenders to be extremely kind and helpful when making choices. It's typically busy but never overwhelming, with plenty of seats and space for everyone at the bar. I love their salads they are a great size and very filling. The wait staff is so nice we have never had a bad experience. They always have answers to all our questions. Their crème brûlée is my husband's absolute favorite. It's a generous size and has berries on top and is made just perfectly. The only problem we have is that the desert can't be picked up for takeout. read more

I dined in here and really enjoyed the food. They had happy hour specials which make it quite affordable. The restaurant overall was clean as well as the bathrooms. The service was just ok. I think they are understaffed. It took a really long time to order and also the server didn't seem to come check on us. read more

This place had a fancy restaurant atmosphere which I really enjoyed! They had a great steak and it was cooked perfect! There was no need for steak sauce! The rest of my sides were top quality and the bar tender was super nice!! Highly recommend this place! read more

Went for appetizers and drinks with a friend from 6-8pm. We sat on the patio. We had an older women(60+) as our server. Nice lady but NOT attentive at all. My friend asked for water 2 different times and never received it. Our alcoholic beverages were empty and she never stopped at our tablet to see if we wanted another round. We had to flag her down. She then almost brought someone else's soda beverage to our table. Not sure if it was an off night for her or she just didn't like us. Food was great, service wasn't great. read more

It's feeezing outside, so take out is the way to go. Houlihan's stuffed chicken breast is certainly the way to go! It is hot, with cream cheese filling, served with mashed potatoes and green beans. Start dinner with the French onion soup. All packaged really well for takeout. Another delicious evening. read more

EDIT: I contacted the comment section on the website as recommended (and before recommended) with no action or follow up. I have changed my rating to match the poor customer service. Last week we got the entirely wrong order of wings for our take out order. The manager took care of that over the phone. We wanted something quick so we ordered take out over the phone. I'll spare all the details but one again, the order was inaccurate and one of the items was drastically undercooked. The young woman on the phone seemed rushed and clearly wasn't paying attention and kitchen must have felt rushed as well. I'm not sure why because there weren't many people inside. I submitted feedback through the website but suspect they may be used to and hope we just had bad luck that it was twice in a row for us. read more

I think this place is highly underrated. Food is very good and well priced. Drinks (especially happy hour) are spot on! Service has always been top notch and any need is quickly taken care of by someone! A good place to go that can please the tastes of everyone! read more

Our service was outstanding! It was the first time that we have sat in a restaurant in our area where we could actually have a conversation without being deafened by noise or music. Beautifully quiet!!! I had the Buffalo chicken salad which was tasty, although I would recommend fresher lettuce. All in all , a very pleasant experience! read more

no photos but we love love love love this place! meals are always so consistent and yummy. we always order takeout from Bite Squad (do not recommend - they always get the order wrong) however, when they get it right, it's the best! don't sleep on the side salad, meat loaf, & chicken parm. also LOVE their Brentwood chicken sandwich, it's actually amazing. read more

I haven't done much eating at this place, but my coworkers and I frequent here for their happy hour specials right after work. There are few things like a good beer after a long day. Appearance/Atmosphere: Located in a plaza with a few other big name restaurants this place has a stand-alone building basically right in the middle of it all with its own private parking lot. The restaurant has a modern feel to it. Lots of cool, unique paintings on the wall that don't really follow any particular theme, but are enjoyable to look at. Upon entering the building you're kindly greeted, buy normally not 1, but 2 hosts. To the left and straight back is the main dining room filled with comfortable booths and tables. To the right is the bar, where we normally go, where you have to go to partake in happy hour. Service: Awesome. I've been here maybe 4-5 times and each time the service is consistently great. They never miss a beat and always make sure I have what I need all while doing it with their own unique personalities. Food: The only food I've had here was the "Burger '72" which is their fresh blend of sirloin, chuck and brisket all topped with arugula and a fried stuffed mushroom. I really enjoyed its blend of meaty, salty, savory flavors with the crunch of the fried stuffed shroom. As of now it's not offered on the menu anymore, but I have confidence in the rest of their burgers based on this one that I had. During happy hour they offer a buy one, get one free of the same kind on beer and wine. You do HAVE to get the same beer twice, you can't mix and match. If you come with friends though, you guys can all order different beers then pass around the extras. Value: Great place to come get a good lunch or dinner and not break the bank. A nice burger for around $13.00 isn't too bad. The buy one get one free on the beer and wine usually gets me 2 really good craft beers for about $6.00. I see why this restaurant chain is so successful. Not only do they have good food, good beer, but the hospitality is truly off the charts. It was always a pleasure to feel welcomed there by their staff. read more

Upscale with great food. Their drinks were phenomenal, highly recommend their crafted cocktails, especially with the happy hour price!! The tuna ahi salad was great. The food came out fast and had a great inside environment to enjoy. read more

Older restaurant, but Nice bar and Good service! We were trying to get a bite to eat before heading out to Paisley Park (Prince's residence prior to his death). We were trying to find a place close by to eat since it's quite a ways from town. Not a lot of options in the area. This fit what we were looking for.... A few drinks and a few appetizers, we'd be good to go! Had a few cocktails and the ahi tuna and stuffed mushrooms! All were good, especially the tuna! See pics! Good choice if you're in the area (or going to see Paisley Park?) read more

Food was ok. However the service was not good. I was handed over the check few minutes after I ordered the appetizers (without asking for the check). I had to tell them I was going to order more food. Overall, had a bad experience. Will not visit again. read more

I was in the area and just sort of desperate to "get dinner over with" so when i came out of Total Wine I thought to myself really , "How bad can it be?" well i should just follow my own standard rule of skipping the old chains unless I remember them with great nostalgia and some fond memories of decent enough food. Service was fairly rude and hostile even perhaps. The wine and beer choices were bleeeeehhh and the food less than average. Avoid it and hope it goes out of business to be replaced with something a little more hip and yummy as location is good. read more

Our service has been average all three times and the food was fairly underwhelming. I ordered the meatloaf, which was not very good. I basically Ate my mashed potatoes and left the rest. read more

I love Houlihans so don't take this wrong - the Lemon Pacatta was terrible. 2 of my guests had it. No taste and chicken was like fish sticks. Definitely would change the receipe. read more

Went for dinner. I have been a faithful diner there for years with their French Dip sandwich as my go to meal. It has always been great and made with high quality beef. Last night the sandwich meat was the thin sliced "beef" one gets at Arby's and it was, in my opinion, a huge let down in quality. I could have done the 2 for $6 at Arby's and got the same taste. I will be changing my dining venues in Chan. read more

Wow. Gave this place a chance after reading a positive Nextdoor review and it was terrible. Threw most of the food away. French Dip: meat tasted sketchy and the au jus was inedible. Salad: lettuce chopped into fine pieces with corn that must have been frozen and thawed. Avocado and chicken eggrolls: yuck. What happened to this place? Yuck. What a waste of money. read more

The last time I was in a Houlihan's was the one in NYC and it was about 1988. This time, we were trying to find dinner in the middle of a lovely spring blizzard, and Houlihan's happened to share a parking lot with our hotel. The food was okay, but I would have to say the service was exceptional. Thanks for staying open, and for making sure your employees were safe! read more

Got the scallops risotto as take out tonight. Thanks to staff at Houlihans Chanhassen for taking the time to put the arugula salad that comes with it in a separate container so it wasn't soggy. It's little things like that, that keep us coming back. read more

Surprisingly good! I'd been here before and got bar food (some tuna bites and deep fried mushroom balls) so I didn't have high expectations for a proper dinner, but the menu was impressive and service was excellent. I'm currently on a really strict diet (booo) and I felt bad ordering off the menu but our waitress was so sweet and didn't make me feel bad for ordering a side of asparagus and salad-less side of grilled chicken combined as an entree. The food was really tasty and portion sizes are impressive. Even my sides were plentiful and filling, and my sister got the organic power greens salad which was massive and looked really fresh - she said it's her favorite thing here! I also loved (but others may dislike this) that the menu has calories listed - I always appreciate that! I'll definitely come back for more chicken and asparagus! read more

We love the food at Houlihan's! The tomato soup is a favorite, and it's great to see it back on the fall menu. Hoping it returns to the permanent menu soon! Lots of good options for sandwiches and entrees, and the Kansas City burger is another favorite in our family. read more

We read some not so great reviews but decided to give Houlihan's a try anyway. We are glad we did! We had the stuffed mushroom appetizer which was delicious, followed by a house salad, also very tasty. Our main events were the Huli-Huli chicken (seasonal) and the George Banks scallops. We both enjoyed our meal very much! Our server, Skott B was excellent as well! read more

Houlihan's is one of our very favorite places to go, mainly because of our favorite server, Katie W., and our favorite manager, Jamie. Katie is that rare combination of courteous, professional, knowledgeable, prompt, and sincere: she makes us feel like family. Jamie appreciates any and all feedback, runs a tight ship, and truly cares about her customers. Don't miss the parmesan-crusted Walleye, ocean scallops, awesome meat loaf, cheesy yum-yum good times chesseburger (or the Angus!), and the Tuscan white bean salad. Great selection of beer at the bar and a good happy hour, too! Also, ask for the "not your average" queso! read more

My boyfriend and I went here after work for his birthday, and we are definitely going back. Especially for happy hour, they have some great looking specials. We go the seasonal Tuna Poke Nachos to start and they were amazing. For an entree he had a pile of food that was the Fish and Chips, and I am talking a whole huge fish fillet and a mound of fresh made fries. I got the Seared Georges Bank Scallops (small comes with 4 good sized ones) and I topped it with a bit of fresh cracked black pepper. Both were delicious, with leftovers from all of it. We also got some of their cocktails after our beers, great Manhattans and Martinis packed with plenty of alcohol for the price. The menu is varied and the staff is friendly and attentive. It also has a gorgeous atmosphere that is classy, yet still cozy and bar like. 5 stars all the way around . read more

We had a great experience today. Service was wonderful and staff kept up with things. I'm a patient person and understand every place is under staffed right now. I go with the flow. They were very professional and attentive. Shout out to Nicole H and the food runners! Shout out to the BOH as well. My seared scallops and asparagus risotto were delicious and my dining partners loved their ahi tuna app. The guy that just ordered chips and salsa and four beers missed out. haha Thankfully he was not the driver. I love every visit to Houlihan's and have been going there for years. Keep on keepin' on. Love it! read more

Had to lower my rating after my last (and final?) patronage of this establishment. Never have I been so disappointed in a meal to the point of where I had to send it back. Never, until last Saturday night. On top of a meal that had sat for what must have been 20 minutes to half an hour under heat lamps, they had the gall to actually try to serve it to me; A table of 4 had been seated well after our table (of 2) and competed their meal before we did. Another table of 2, seated well past us, also were also in and out before us. I've never had such a horrible wait time here at Houlihan's. Manager was supposed to stop by our table after our waiter disappeared (after dropping off this debacle of a dish) to look over the situation, but never showed up. The bill took 3 times to be corrected - I'll through the manager as we were told, so that was also an extreme disappointment to top off a horrible dining experience. The Buffalo wings (small-sized serving portion as part of their "Happy Hour", so really not a deal) were excellent though. Avoid this place. It's not what it used to be. read more
