Peel and eat shrimp I mean you can't really mess these up.... But you can- these were fresh and cooked just right! Definitely a favorite! Apple walnut salad- I love a good fresh salad but has to be fresh and crisp- this was- excellent balance of ingredients- great freshness and when I asked for extra salad dressing- NOT A PROBLEM!!! Also we went back and had the chicken wings tonight- tried a few flavors and each one was delightful! The service was amazing- friendly welcoming and engaging- the kind of place that makes you feel comfortable and safe to just hang out and enjoy food drink and friends! read more

I was just getting off the Amtrak train after a very long trip from Atlanta to Wilmington DE. My bestie suggested we eat here because it was one of her favorites in the area. As we entered I realized I missed living in the North. North America is known for diners, pubs and sports bars. We went here the perfect time in the evening as the sun was setting. We were seated in a nice booth that had some good privacy. We also could look out the window at the pond adjacent to the property. Beautiful atmosphere. The server quickly came to take our drink amd appetizer orders. I do not remember the name of the drink it was so good I slurped it down. We ordered some wings, crispy and a burger. I could immediately tell that the burger was handmade and not pre-made meat. It was so fresh and chargrilled. Loved it. Everything was good. read more

Exactly what you'd think of when asked to visualize a 3-star pub. The service is always good and food comes out quick. Every time that I've gone has been later at night when the DJ is blasting music and groups are gathered at the bar after hot boxing their car. But the food is decent and pretty filling. read more

The good: Their chili and fries are good. The bad: Smallest. Skimpiest. Chicken Wings. Ever. read more

Sean our server gets an all around AAA . My friends and I enjoyed the food, and appreciated the carnations we were given. The mimosas were watered down read more

We were visiting in Dover, DE and searched for a location to enjoy on St. Patrick's day. We "lucked" up on McGlynn's Pub. Arriving early for lunch, the place was already packed. Good sign!!! Since it was our first time here, we asked to sit by a window with the water view and the host went to check. And...counting on our luck for the day, he found us the perfect table by the water. Absolutely Beautiful!!! We enjoyed watching the ducks. Our server Jeanine was very nice! She would check on us at the right moments and gave great advice on the food options. The food was great! We enjoyed every bite. We continued to eat, even when we felt full. LOL! Everyone was friendly and food exceptional! Our server Jeanine put service in customer service. We will be back on our next visit to Dover! read more

I can't believe I'm only just discovering this bar and its delicious food after three years of coming to Dover to drop my son off at college. It's a great spot to relax, especially since they had a DJ on Saturday night. I ordered my meal to go but enjoyed a drink at the bar while I waited for my food. If I had known it was such a nice place to hang out, I would have dressed up for the evening. I tried the egg rolls, crab cake, and chicken Philly. While everything was tasty, my son and I were a bit underwhelmed by the crab cakes since we've had better. I'd rate the crab cakes a 7 out of 10, but the egg rolls were absolutely incredible--definitely a highlight! I'll definitely return when I'm back in May. Also, the service was not too bad. read more

The location and decor is awesome. Decent prices, our server was very kind. We had to ask for new glasses because the first were dirty, but otherwise a great experience. read more

Classic spot for me when i used to live here. was in the area decided to stop in and glad i did. Im gonna keep this short and recommend the short rib grilled cheese. That dish was amazing. Also you can expect amazing service and fresh popcorn daily. read more

The food at McGlynn's is just ok. It all depends on what you order. Stay away from the roast beef au jus. You can floss your teeth with the sinews. Burgers are passable. Service has never been the strong point, but it is because the staff focuses on persons actively being served. So until you get recognized as a patron, just grit your teeth, they're busy at the bar. Ambiance is nice, local chatter and a huge number of screens keeps your attention. There is free popcorn if you like that kind of thing too. read more

So great. We found this little gem the first night of our summer vacation. Loved it so much went back two more times. Food was good, outdoors is really spectacular views of sunset and the cove. Inside is typical Irish pub, food it really good, service is wonderful. We had our dog outside and they made sure she had water and offered snacks. Great time. Well done. Highly recommend. read more

Good restaurant and service, I enjoyed my time there. The server was very nice. Thank you!

What a disappointment. Wife & I walked in for an early dinner (approximately 4:40pm). The host stand was empty. Another couple had been waiting for several minutes to be greeted. The hostess was obviously upset and pretty much ignored us. After several more minutes she seated the couple in front of us, returned and asked us to wait a few while. She sorted out some issue. She never returned (after 5 minutes). We walked out. Never again. Poorly run st best! read more

Good pub but very noisy in bar area. Dining area is not always open for a quieter meal. Food is good. Burgers & French Onion Soup are favorites. read more

Horrible service. Visiting from out of town. Waited mentioned it was his last day. Therefore, apparently he didn't care. He didn't put in the food order. Paid for the drink and left read more

I feel like I've been giving more bad reviews lately than good ones, which I hate as a glass half full kind of guy. McGlynn's was recommended by the young lady at the front desk of our hotel. The Good: Nice looking building with a view of the pond/lake. The Blackened Chicken Sandwich was a 4 out of 5. Cheap Beer prices. Even if they never brought the right typesordered. The Average: Tater Tot Nachos The Bad: The 3 bean chili was 1 out of 5. The waiter Joel C, nice young man but with no waitering skills, hoping he is new and will learn a lot. Did seem pleasant enough. read more

For the amount of staffs tending around should not have had to wait to place a order with our waitress. This place not like any other of the McGlynns Pubs like upstate Delaware read more

This is a pub & restaurant regional chain. It's a bit dated inside but kept up fairly well. My husband & I have eaten here a few times. I like their French onion soup. Pretty decent considering it's not a gourmet establishment. We each had a great corned beef dinner over St Patty's week. The service is decent. It wasn't overly crowded on previous visits. We never went during sporting events so I would imagine it is more popular then. It has TV's that are viewable around the bar & dining areas. Nice lake views! Good for a casual bite or cocktails. read more

Stopped in with a group for a weekday lunch. Seated right away, and waitress took our drink orders. This place has always been pretty solid, as I've visited for lunch many times over the years. There seems to be a special every day. There is typically always a few seats at the bar, and the barkeep has worked lunch for years, and she always does a great job. This time I had a hamburger, and we shared some peel and eat shrimp and crab and artichoke dip-all excellent. I'm sure I'll return, and I recommend for a quick, reasonably priced lunch. read more

Don't order the roast beef sandwich-the beef was sliced thick and was difficult to chew. Do order the Manhattan- it was the best mixed drink I Have had all year! read more

A friend and I stopped here for lunch, and it was pretty good. There is plenty of parking. The day that we went they were repaving the parking lot, but we just parked next-door. Not a big deal. The restaurant itself is very large with multiple rooms and a large bar section. They also have some outdoor seating by the lake, which is nice. It's a basic pub. Interior with lots of wood and cool stained glass. Our server, Cameron, was fantastic. Super nice guy and very helpful. He made some good suggestions when we asked for them and was very prompt and attentive. I thought the food was very average. We got the fried cheesesteak rolls to begin with. Basically beef and cheese fried up. Then I had a salad, which was nothing special, but decent. My friend had a wrap, and she felt the same about that. The food wasn't bad , it was very basic pub food. I'm not sure I would go back to eat. There seem to be other more tasty dining options in the area and I would probably opt to try another place. I would definitely return for happy hour. That seemed pretty lively. read more

The service was trash. There were two bartenders and the catered to the same individuals the whole time me and my guest came. The drinks were weak even after the request of an extra shot of patron. The service and food were trash. I came Thursday Night and tried the unlimited shrimp, nasty and plain, thing that was good was the cornbread and even that was cold. I had to use my travel Clorox wipes because the bar was dirty. SMH do not recommend. read more

Again on our trip to DE we were headed somewhere else to eat when we spotted this place from the road. I did a double take which was very dangerous because I was the driver. The outside eating area looked fly AF. A gazebo and it was right by the water. My side car looked up the menu and started reading it to me. So we got turned around. First thing we had to get was the root beer floats. They make their own soda and ice cream! The root beer was awesome and very different. The ice cream though??? That blew me away. I almost didn't want to dump the root beer on it. Afraid of spoiling its integrity. However I ordered a goddamn root beer float and that's what I aimed to have. Then I got the McGlynns Style Hot Roast Beef Sandwich w/ the optional cheese slice. This sandwich was so good. My fellow got the special of the day which was grilled cheese and ham. He also got a side of mashed potatoes. The combination seemed very strange. Especially since the sandwich comes with fries. Whatever. He said it was one of the best grilled cheeses he ever had. I don't think it is technically a grilled cheese. The view was spectacular. I'd be going here for the ambiance even if I wasn't hungry. I'm sure the food is good at the other locations but I don't see how it could compare. read more

McGlynns is like your old pair of Levi's. It's comfortable, reliable, cozy, reliable, and always there for you. If you want a good strong drink made by a personable bartender, you got it. Their pub fare is tasty, and their happy hour is a great deal. It can get pretty jumpin, so be patient, and your patience will be rewarded. Grab your friend, and slip into your old jeans again. read more

McGlynn is only interested in collecting your money. They clearly do well, and get very busy, yet they have no interest in cleaning up. I went one late afternoon and I noticed how filthy this place is. You cannot see that when it's packed at nighttime. The counter was dirty, the floors and window sills had food crumbs, there were random condiments in the window sills, and the flies, so many flies inside. So I took my drink outside and their outdoor dinner my area is covered with geese shit. Highly unsanitary place. read more

EXCELLENT! Good beer on tap and in bottles. Fantastic service. Decent menu. Great place to watch football! read more

From the moment we entered the restaurant, we felt special. Our server was polite and had a great personality. Our order was served quickly and with a flourish. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the ambiance. The view of Silver Lake was a nice touch. read more

Decided to come here because the view looks amazing from some of the pictures on Yelp. I won't bash this place because other than the food the drinks were great and inexpensive. I would not come here again for the food though (unfortunately). My wings were cold and the eastern shore pretzels with the melted cheese was cold. Not sure how melted cheese is cold when it's melted before it's delivered to you but first time for everything. Luckily the drinks start flowing because the food started tasting better. Hence why the pretzels in the picture provided are almost gone lol. All in all real good place for drinks and some cool music!!! read more

Never a bad time, I've lived here for 20 years. Staff is courteous and helpful, Morgan was helpful for another guest during a medical emergency this visit; and that was a genuine human thing to be aware and helpful of. I just came for a sandwich and a beer. Left optimistic about humanity. Night service may differ, but good overall sense of community. read more

My family had the pleasure of booking a banquet room for my sister's Bridal Shower on Saturday, February 17th, 2024. All of the staff were polite, attentive, professional and friendly and made us feel right at home. I would like to specifically recognize Alisha and Daniel for their courteous, empathetic and five star service to our family and friends. These two really did a fantastic job hosting our family and their service really made the day both memorable and special for our daughter and sister and for that, we truly cannot thank them enough.
