    cheese pizza
    Christine D.

    We wanted to get a quick dinner nearby and this place looked busy so gave it a try. Food was "ok" and the drinks were "meh". I ordered a small cheese pizza was reminiscent of Mama Celeste's frozen pizza. My garden salad was what you would expect at any takeout pizza joint...edible. My husband got the fish sandwich which was "so/so". Better options on the island, for sure.

    Stuffed Flounder

    Three stars and as far as I'm concerned it's a gift. Ok, I was on Block Island a few weeks ago for work. Block Island is part of Rhode Island, and Covid is wreaking havoc on Rhode Island. Highest Covid infection rate in the country. As a result the are in a "Pause". Or lockdown. We couldn't stay overnight so in and out same day. Weather was terrible so when I was finished with work we just drove around sightseeing. 98% of restaurants were closed but turns out Mcloon's is open, so we'll have a late lunch/early dinner. Sign says Covid rules are in effect, but the hostess has a mask that is only covering her mouth but not her nose. Why bother at all. Only one other table occupied so we can sit most anywhere. My wife orders Fish & Chips which she said was one of the best she has ever had. GOD HELP ME. I order their stuffed Flounder, which comes with wild rice. Seafood on an Island should be good right? Two pieces of flounder stuffed with a seafood mix. To start, they are not hot, not warm either. So I'll wait for our waitress to come so they can reheat it. Clearly pre made and heated up. So I wait and wait and wait. Finally she comes around and I send it back for reheat Took forever, in fact my wife was finished before she came back with my food. Sorry but a big disappointment for me. Not sure if I'll be back to Block Island but if I do, I'll go when more restaurants are open, and they are plentiful on Block Island.

    Perfect Irish restaurant on Block Island that my family has been going to every trip for years! Friendly staff, great location, and lots of options on the menu for everyone!

    New England clam chowder & clam cakes
    Tracy B.

    We stopped in for lunch yesterday. The French onion soup was perfect & really hit the spot on this cold November day! The small house salad with homemade honey mustard dressing was good, too. My husband had the NE clam chowder with 2 clam cakes. Yummy! Our waitress was very friendly & service was great. I love the atmosphere here with some really cool antiques & Irish decor.

    chicken parm

    The staff was friendly and decor was nice. I ordered the chicken parm, which i probably wasn't the best choice at an Irish pub. It was not very good, I ate it because I was hungry but definitely would not recommend this meal to anyone. I am sure if I ordered a burger or the Shepards pie i would have given it more stars

    Guinness beef stew- too much of a broth/purée for my preferences

    Waitresses treat you like outsider if you're not a buddy. Slow service. Try somewhere else if you can.

    I love them so much but why lie about the hours online and when you arrive to get food, they are closed?

    Food was definitely not worth it! Very disappointed. Took a few bites and tossed the rest. Save your money and your time.

    Service was excellent and friendly. Quality of food mediocre. Probably a great place for drinks and catching a game.

    This place is amazing! My parents went here before and they brought me along this time,…read morespecifically for the hot honey tenders and onion strings. If you go, the tenders are an absolute must- we got 2 orders to go as well! We also got the chocolate pistachio martini and the Neil's lullaby alcoholic drinks- both amazing. My dad got 2 of the Neil's because it was so good. My mom's entree was fish and chips which was perfect. There wasn't a lot of extra batter on it which was great. My dad got the clam chowder bread bowl and barbecued steak tips and coleslaw. Both were incredible obviously. I got the smokehouse chicken sandwich which was, again, incredible. Lastly, we split one of their specials of the day which was toffee pudding with mint chocolate chip ice cream. It was so yummy but I didn't like the texture of the bread pudding (just my own weird thing, the flavor was still great). Their portions are HUGEEEEEE so you'll definitely need to-go boxes and extra room in the fridge. I saved my appetite all day to eat here and it was most definitely worth it. The service was great, all of the staff were very friendly. We went during the lunch rush on a Saturday so we had to wait about 30 minutes for inside seating. They do have outdoor tent seating with heat but we liked the look of the place inside and really wanted to sit there. We will absolutely be coming here again soon!

    The food here is always lights out! Perfectly cooked and made to order. The bar is lively with…read morelocal friends and usually quite busy. The staff here are great as well, friendly smart and always on top of your order. This is the best pub style resteraunt around and has been for the last 25 years I have been going here! Do yourself a favor and head in!
