Disappointing. Ordered wedge salad with steak medium. Steak came rare. Yuck. They offered to throw it back on the grill, but it's not the same, especially when the plate was already completely full of rare juices. Lack of other patrons should have given it away when we walked in. read more

Have been here a handful of times to include; lunch, dinner and happy hour. Food is descent, but I think the price is high for what you are actually getting. The atmosphere is nice and they have a nice patio. Just recently I was there for happy hour and apps, to my disappointment the service was terrible. Our glasses would be empty for over 10+ minutes and the patio was not even half full with multiple servers working. read more

Great Happy Hour drink specials. On Wednesday's they have 2 for 1s on ALL of their single pour drinks! What's better than 2 for 1 Grey Goose drinks... Food has been great every time I've been there. You have to try their Parmesan Crusted Walleye. It's to die for. Service is top notch and friendly as well. A real "Cheer's" vibe! read more

I went to Houlihan's quite recently for lunch with my mom. I had the fish tacos with fries on the side. The fires were pretty good and the fish tacos melted in my mouth! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the cherry coke I ordered was VERY watered down! Not cool Houlihan's! Otherwise decent eatery. read more

Literally my favorite place to go. GREAT happy hour, amazing staff, and really good food. If you're looking for a nicer night out without going over budget, this is he place. read more

Been there last weekend. Something really amused me. We were four with a kid. The hostess asked "Do you want a booth or would you like to be seated at the bar..?" I mean, who would seat their 2yr old at the bar.!? Well we ignored it all and got seated and ordered our food (appetizer and the main course with a kids meal as well). The main course came first for two. Then the kids meal. Then the other two entrées. Appetizer never came. We didn't ask coz already the food had come in late. Would never go there again with an empty stomach. I would rather cook at home! It wud take less time than they take over there. read more

Good place but a little overpriced. I do recommend the steak salad with a glass of Merlot. Loved it so much! Another time I had a hamburger and it was plain ok. Nothing much going on. read more

The menu is very typical for an american steak house. They have a wide variety with pretty good consistency. I hit the bar late one night after working for some late night grub. Have to say the 'Small Plates' are creative and not what I'd consider to be typical bar appetizers. We tried the following: 1. Naked Chinese Dumpling kabobs with ginger lemongrass pork bites with peanut sauce . . . A very tasty 2. Thai Noodle bowl with ginger-peanut noodles (chilled), cilantro, basil, mint, napa cabbage, sweet & sour carrots with grilled spicy Thai barbequed shrimp . . . C - the shrimp didn't taste fresh:( 3. Wild Mushroom and Arugula FlatbreadV with white truffle vinaigrette . . . A+, my favorite 4. Goat Cheese & Artichoke PoppersV with fresh thyme and lemon zest . . . B, interesting take on Jalapeno poppers, although deep friend and terrible for you Would go back for lunch and check out the salads. read more

Ate there a few weeks ago.... ordered fish and the cole slaw was not good. First of all cole slaw is made with cabbage not lettuce. When I called this to the attention of our waitress, she seemed confused. So she went and got the manager. She brought me a bowl of the same lettuce concoction. They didn't seem to understand a basic ingredient of cole slaw is cabbage. Extremely disappointed but at least the fish was good. read more

I LOVE Houlihans! Always a relaxing environment. Romantic and intimate even with their dim lighting. (This was mine and my boyfriend's first date place) I always pick to come here given the chance. :) I enjoy sitting in the dining area over the bar side. Service in the bar is pretty slow. The patio is awesome when it's nice out with the water fountain. I always order the BBQ chicken flatbread and the Thai wings. Amazing! The spinach artichoke dip and chicken Cesar salad is a usual for my best friend and my boyfriend always goes for the pork sliders and their nachos. Which is huge and super cheap on HH! The strawberry basil lemonade (adult beverage here) is my absolute favorite! Next would be any of their dangerous but delicious variety of Long Island pitchers for an awesome price. ;) Lastly, their S'more desert can never go wrong. I love it all. read more

Had gone this week with my friends .. The staff were very inexperienced .We ordered calamari for starters and steak (medium cooked) .. They forgot to bring the starter and the steak was cooked more like well done ... Wouldn't bother to go there again .. read more

The service was really great. Our waitress's name was Carson and she was attentive and helpful & very familiar with the menu. The food on the other hand was a different story. The menu was way too wide-ranged and the prices were far too high for the quality. Not only that but both my friend and I got sick after eating there. We both got chicken and to think that that's what made us sick is very scary. Probably won't be returning. read more

I've been here more time than I can count. Always great food and great service. I've tried almost everything on their menu and have never had anything that wasn't great! I have even emailed the manager when my favorite item was taken off the menu. I received a prompt response and was given a gift card to try something else. Funny thing is a month later the item was back on the menu. Our server told us that many people complained it was gone, and Houlihans listened by putting it back. It's my go to place in Eagan! read more

Houlihan's was a place that early on in dating my wife we visited a lot. They used to make a killer margarita and serve a shot of Grand Marnier on the side. The food used to be better. The place used to be more fun, more a four star sort of joint. But years ago, their drinks changed, their menus changed (and changed again, and again, and again, and again) so that now it is just another chain place with little to distinguish it from the rest. I don't object to chains, but Houlihan's is now, and has been for a while, just average. I only continue to visit as it is a place that I can bring my kids to as well as other adults at the same time. Food is average, service is never terrible or awesome, most frequently just above average, or barely below average or just plain average. Lately it seems to have gotten more expensive as well. I know I'll be back here, but I don't plan on it, and don't look forward to it with any sort of passion - positive, negative or otherwise. read more

Happy hour was great. 2 for 1 beers that we indulged in. Server was very friendly and even let me try a few beers. We did not get foods though. read more

Terrible treatment of Veterans on Veterans Day. The website said they had a special menu for Veterans to order a free meal. When we arrived there was a sheet of paper on the front door that read the were not honoring veterans that day but to come back the next day for a hamburger and fries. We decided to stay with our two boys for a good meal because we were feeling good and wanted to share our military experience with them. We were very disappointed by our meal, my son ordered a hamburger but was very ill that night. My husband went back the next day and even though there was no sign saying they were proving free meals for Veterans my husband asked for the Hamburger and fries for Veterans this was definitely not the same as was on the menu. He also got sick that night. Houlihan's was definitely taking advantage of Veterans Day to get free publicity and we will not be back. read more

Tuscan salad! Tuscan SALAD! My husband loves the pot roast (I wish mine was this good). We always get great service (especially at lunch). read more

My daughter and I got the fettuccine Alfredo and the good time yum yum burger. The Alfredo was bland with big chunks of pepper. The burger had a really strong chargrilled flavor and taste that I didn't like at all. The server took my burger and I tried the pretzel sticks instead. The pretzels were...better. They were baked to a point they were pretty hard. Our server was nice to exchange my meal with no questions asked. read more

Ryan aka "Sheriff" makes an amazingly tastefully Mai Tai drink. I've had one in the past from him and nobody has come close at any other restaurant and trust me that's a handful of places. If you're the Mai Tai type of person then you definitely need to try one from Ryan. Im just a random customer in the area but man this is the spot for good tasting food and drinks. Go try it out folks. read more

The burger was really good. I can't remember the name, but I think it had a number in it. They also had a Frito's burger that sounded good. Happy Hour was great with buy one get one free beer. read more

I was at Houlihan's for a late dinner and was happy with my meal. We shared fried goat cheese as an appetizer which was awesome, and then my meal was lettuce wraps. The food was ok, but probably my least favorite lettuce wraps I've ever ordered. It was a nice and quiet dinner though with no crowds or huge numbers of people to distract. AGain, I believe this was because we were there at 9pm and not at dinner time. I'd go again, but there are many better restaurants in the area. read more

Dive In! On a Saturday afternoon looking for a bar that had the Gopher's football (v. Wisconsin) game on - called, and was told "We're watching it right now - come on over!" So we did. Timeless American bar - nice selection of beer, the desired game on the screen. All very basic, but perfectly nice - the young woman tending the bar was busy and pleasant. Everyone having a good time and well behaved. Got pretty busy for awhile, but always held down by the regulars. Prices very reasonable, but be prepared to pay cash. read more

Great food and good people and portions but we tried to order it online and we put in the correct address and it kept saying that this address doesn't exist so after 15 minutes of keep trying we just went inside to do it, ty for having a order function on your website that doesn't work read more

I had never been to this restaurant before until my family and I went last evening. The food was amazing though it took a while for our food to get to our table. But well worth the wait! Want to go there again with my family, it's a fun place to go! Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, but especially tired moms who don't want to cook on the weekends! read more

So I've had multiple experiences here. Buy this last time was ridiculous. I had a sever try and take the order with no pen and paper she tried to memorize our order. We all had different modifications to our order, to no surprise the food came out wrong because she didn't WRITE IT DOWN. She never came around to check on us, she had no care for her tables and she SUCKED. I'm not sure what her name was but she was a younger Asian or Korean girl. If you get her, RUN! read more

I had the best experience at Houlihan's. Had Filet Mignon...just about the best I have ever had. Cooked to perfection! My Tuscan salad was so bomb! The service was great too. Brought my husband and step kids. My step daughter embrassed the hell out of me by scooping up her gaucamole and handing it to the waitress. The waitress had a good sense of humor and just laughed and said it was ok. I am sure she told that story later while laughing. She was awesome though. The nachos were good and so were the burritos. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone on a first date. The ambiance is what always gets me first. It had all that. Then comes the service and then the food. They had it all in line. Great service! 5 stars baby! read more

Come here for happy hour sometimes with the coworkers. We like the atmosphere and the 1 liter Long Island iced tea pitchers. Mostly we've had appetizers but I did get a burger once and it lacked flavor. For me I'll probably stick to the apps :) read more

LOVE Houlihan's! My friend and I go there a couple of times a month and are always impressed by the efficiency and care of the staff. EXCELLENT food...reasonable prices...a very pleasant environment! Try the steak and wedge entree or the chopped salad...both delicious! I'm also a big fan of the stuffed chicken breast, and the meatloaf. Happy hour is a GREAT deal!!! Go there!!! read more

Horrible treatment of Veterans on Veterans Day. The website said they had a special menu for veterans but when we got to the restaurant with our two teenage boys proud to show off our service to our nation there was a sheet of paper on the front door that read they would be not be honoring veterans that day and to come back the next day. We stayed and ate anyway but wish we hadn't, my son had a burger that made him sick. My husband went back the next day there was no notifications that they were honoring veterans but he asked for the veteran hamburger and fries. It was not the same as what they serve paying customers, plus it was way under cooked and made him sick. I grew up with Houlihan's and used to love them but I will not be back. read more

was on vacation and this was close to the hotel I was staying in. my daughter's and I ate lunch there. It was good, got in, served quickly and had a really good waitress. The food was really fresh and tasty, overall I'd say prices were average and amount of food was good. read more

First-class service and wonderful food! Hubby and I always love dinning here. Wednesday is 1/2 bottles of wine, which makes hump day kind of fun! read more

Local favorite, close to Interstate and hotels, Happy Hour Specials, clean inside, friendly staff, food good, price fair.

I have always had a great time here. Ever since I have had the salads here I can't stop thinking about them. There pitchers if Long Island ice teas are also some of the best. The waiters & waitresses have been very friendly also. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

I had the best pot roast from here . Friendly bar tender and also very helpful manager.

My family went there on December 23rd 2014. I had the spinach salad with goat cheese and grilled chicken. It was amazing. I could taste the grill flavor in the chicken and btw it was a whole chicken breast on top of my salad. it also came with a delicious dinner roll. I can't wait to try all the salads there. read more

My wife, 4-year old son, and I visited Houlihan's on a Thursday evening around 7PM. Fortunately, we were able to get right in and opted to sit in the bar area in a booth. With the TV's in the bar area, that helps to keep a 4-year old entertained while waiting on food, so it worked out well. Fortunately, it wasn't very busy and there were no foul-language happy hour attendees in the bar at the time, so plus 1 for that. Our server was very friendly and was quick to take our order. Nothing special - a milk for junior, a soda for the wife, and a beer for me. All good there (although, the beer was over $8, which is atrocious for a tap beer). Anyway, upon opening the menu, I was amazed to see that not a single wrap was on the menu. I was hoping for a basic buffalo chicken wrap or anything not on a bun - no luck. So, I ordered the fish tacos, which were decent, but nothing special. My wife ordered some sort of salmon salad, which looked great, but she mentioned it was pretty bland and lacking any real flavor. Moreover, I tried a bite of her salmon, which was clearly frozen stock, as it was completely flavorless. For junior, we ordered the pasta and marinara option from the kids menu, which would have been fine, but the cook opted to put cilantro on the pasta, which to a 4-year old isn't welcome. Trust me cooks - anything off a kids menu should never have any sort of extra garnish on it - kids don't care, and it only creates a problem because they see something in their food that isn't normal and all hell breaks loose. Stick to bland and nothing special when it comes to kids menu items - that's exactly what kids are looking for. I gave only 3 stars because the food was mediocre at best and mostly lacking any sort of flavor. In this day and age, food needs to be remarkable, meaning I'm willing to make a remark about it because it's that good. Anything less than remarkable, and I might as well just go to McDonalds, which would be 1/10th of the price and my kid would enjoy it much more. Please update your menu, Houlihans, and for god's sake, add a Buffalo Chicken Wrap - that's a staple at any restaurant outside of fine dining, which you are not. read more

Just got back from Houlihan's in Eagan. We were seated right away. After sitting for ten minutes and no server coming by we left. As we were leaving we could see five wait staff yacking it up by the kitchen. I told the hostess that no one served us. She started laughing. So I assumed she did not hear my. So I said it again and she said "oh sorry about that" and started laughing again and answered the phone. read more

Food great ! Had the scallops and a salad. Idk what the other reviews where talking about they where perfectly prepared and priced just right. Two bartenders one male friendly, the woman seemed like it was a chore to smile at all. She must hate her job. She thinks she is being classy and professional but really just comes across The kicker was an employee sitting by the sever well constantly correcting and telling the male bartender that we making drinks incorrect. He was drinking, answering the phone and on the micros. My drinks where fine and I've been a bartender since before both of them where born. Maybe I notice more because of the fact I'm in the business. Maybe not allowing your staff to sit at the bar after there shift in uniform would be A good idea. The average joe Doesn't want to listen to the staff complain and argue. Manager did check in and male bartender. Overall fine, but ehh. Could be a reason it's dead on a Friday night. read more

We went expecting the normal steak joint, but this place was not our style. Very buisness like, yuppy-type people. We had our 2 year old with us, and that did not go well. Not a kid friendly place at all. And the food was strange. Cold hard corn kernels on a salad? Weird. read more

This is a good restaurant that doesn't get a lot of attention because it's a chain. Well, I don't care if it's a chain or not, it puts out consistently good food every time I have been here. The pot roast sliders are simply fantastic and are something that keeps me coming back. The potato soup is always good as are the seared georges bank scallops. If you are in the area and looking for quality american style food, this is a great place for lunch or dinner. read more
