Rueben rolls and Shepard's pie nachos
Kenzey M.

This place is everything an Irish pub should be. Clean, fun environment. Server was nice and had fun banter with us. We got Irish beers, Shepards pie nachos and Rueben rolls. The rolls were my favorite. Will definitely come back!!

Water Tower Salad with Cajun Seasoned Salmon, Slivered Almonds, Craisins, Goat Cheese with Apple Cider Vin

One of the most consistent restaurants we go to for lunch. Over the years we've only had one issue... they didn't have any Iced Tea one day‍ but we survived The waitstaff are always friendly and never miss a step. Also, it's always nice to see the owners on the floor running food and checking on their patrons. I've never been to Ireland but I get the feeling that I'm there when we eat here. I love all the pictures and memorabilia especially the one in the Men's Room.. THE URINALS OF IRELAND

We love Mary O'Neil's. We come about once a week. Great food, great beer, great atmosphere. One of our favorite places

Burnt chicken

Order take out and the food took long for a simple salad. The salad came with no dressing, burnt chicken tender, and a kids cup charged as a large drink.

First time here. Full bar is nice. Place is packed!

Still my favorite Irish bar and all of Charlotte. Staff is very friendly, food is very good, price is exceptional. Highly recommend. Wish they had more space.

Great pub! Excellent service with authentic menu options. We have had lunch in the dining area as well as dinner at the bar. Both are great. Fish and chips is a favorite and for good reason. The fish is perfectly battered and crispy. Fries are well seasoned. Tartar sauce is tangy and creamy. Malt vinegar is available as well as ketchup. The special seasoning on the burger is very special. The burger was perfectly cooked to medium as ordered and piping hot. Onion rings are surprisingly awesome. My husband didn't offer to share- and he is usually quick to share. I stole one and it was worth the glare I got! Lots of beverage options including a winter cocktail menu. They also do an excellent job on layered drafts. Our favorite is the snakebite - guiness and cider. Smithwicks on draft, also a great choice. Staff is friendly and quick to clear tables and plates. Even when it's very busy, waiting patrons are not waiting very long.

The first Thursday of the month is back - Guinness night. Come in and meet Josh - great rep!

Best place in Waxhaw! Been there since day one. Love the pub atmosphere, the lads are great, the food is consistent and the Guinness is delish!

Our waiter answered every single question to completion. He was so attentive and knowledgeable. It made the whole experience amazing. I was going to stop with just eating the bangers and mash, but as soon as someone at my table ordered the bread pudding and they mentioned the Irish cream ice cream on top I was sold, and it did not disappoint. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

Lots of dark wood, dark green upholstery, and Irish Knick-knacks/advertisements/decor, plus traditional Irish music playing. There is also rooftop seating. I ordered the Lavender Gin Spritz from the seasonal cocktail menu, along with a starter of Bread and Butter (homemade Irish Brown Bread with a selection of freshly made butters) and The Orchard Salad topped with grilled chicken. The salted butter was definitely my favorite with the bread but it was fun to try the sweet maple cinnamon butter and savory fresh herb butter. Our food arrived lightning fast. Unfortunately the kitchen was out of apples, which would have added a nice crunch and tang to the salad, but I just sipped my drink (which was not lavender forward) to get that "bite" instead. Service was friendly and fast.

HIGHLY recommend visiting Jekyll & Hyde in Waxhaw...the food and service is stellar!!! This trip we…read moredined here twice, which is very rare, but this spot was worth the extra visit. Bottom line...both visits were incredible and from what I understand they totally revamped their menu 10 days ago. The Shrimp Pappardelle in a lobster cream sauce with butterfly shrimp was "lick the bowl" delicious. One of the biggest chops...the 12oz Bone In Pork Chop was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The French Onion Soup was rich and flavorful while the Street Corn Ribs were declared "the best evah"!!! Loved the Bourbon Bacon Burger...nicely done medium and the jam was a solid enhancement to the burger. Loved the Cajun Alfredo, could have used a bit more Cajun "kick" but was a solid dish. The Lamb Lollipops as an appetizer is just not enough...could have consumed a dozen of them. Lastly...the Brule Bourbon Apple Bread Pudding was really good and extremely sweet.

Overall a good place to go to lunch or dinner. Fairly pricey, but everywhere is now. We had a…read morereservation on a Saturday night. Got seated quickly. We shared the menu for two dinner option. We had a fish and chips and a steak. Our appetizer was the Irish Nachos and we shared the chocolate bomb cake. The Irish Nachos were good although there was a lot of dips all over the potatoes. Maybe one on the side would work better. The fish and chips were really good. Fresh fries were tasty and crispy and still soft inside. The fish was crispy and had great flavor. The steak was cooked well. The chocolate cake was delicious. Overall we felt that some of the menu choices were odd as this is a newer restaurant and a couple of the restaurants in the area serve literally the same menu items. It would have been nice to get something completely different. But that being said, they go all in on the macabre theme of Jekyll and Hyde and the items around the restaurant and the quirky things with the food (like the hatchet in our cake and the fake blood made of jam) made it fun.

It took a while to get our drinks and they were not busy. If they were busy I was willing to overlook that but they were not so not sure what happened but we did eventually get our drinks. We started with the Emmet's Trio and the German beef sliders. The trio was just ok. The pickles were the star of that dish. The tomatoes were bland and the eggs were also just ok. Next we had the sliders. The pretzel bun was great, the burger ok but again lacked flavor. I think if there was more of the mustard, it might have helped but disappointed. We tried one more dish, the buffalo chicken dip. It was also not bad just not great and lacked really any heat. It did have a good amount of chicken so there was a positive. The chips were just ok. Throughout the meal we really only saw our server a few times, drinks ran empty so not impressed. Emmet's wasn't awful but they didn't do anything that was great and leave me wanting to come back. It was just ok.
