    Came here for a casual lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Good vibes with music overhead, open windows, and football on. Ordered the chicken salad sandwich which was delicious! Servers were friendly and food came out quickly.

    The steak sandwich was delicious! Quick and attentive service. The windows were open and created a nice breeze and good views from the windows. Good vibes.

    We had a great experience at Mitch's. We've been coming for well over two decades. The food is always delicious and the staff is usually a little lack luster, but they're at least consistent. If you're a beef fan, please for the love of all things good in the world, try their London broil. It may not seem special on paper but boy is it good. The space is dark, dank, and there is memorabilia all over the walls. If you're lucky you'll notice the window that hung in the movie "Bull Durham" hanging up in the middle of the restaurant. I will keep on coming back until they close the doors forever. This is a Raleigh staple. If you haven't tried it, you must.

    I probably hadn't been to Mitch's in 30 years and was thrilled to see it hasn't changed. We ordered a pitcher of the Bull Durham light for our table while we perused the menu. I ordered a bowl of the vegetarian chili. The flavor was fantastic but boy was it spicy. I had to eat it slowly with lots of water. I didn't notice the menu saying it was spicy but then again I forgot my dollar store readers. One friend ordered the regular chili and also found it spicy. Everyone else ordered sandwiches and chips -- husband ordered the Cuban and son's girlfriend ordered the green tomato grilled cheese and said they were fabulous. Prices are very reasonable. We need to not wait 30 years before we go again!

    Great that this iconic restaurant has reopened and our family was happy to host our oldest son at NC State to dinner tonight at Mitch's. I don't know when I have had a worse service experience. We made our trek up the historic stairs to be greeted by a sign at that top requesting guests seat themselves. We followed directions. We pushed two tables together to accommodate our party of 5. We seated ourselves. We waited. We waited. We waited. We finally felt inclined to stop a waitress after she greeted, offered menus and took drink orders for a couple that walked in 10-minutes after our arrival. She seemed a bit inconvenienced by our request for assistance. She told us she would be back. Finally she came back with menus and asked if we wanted water. I asked her for the beers they had on tap and she curtly tossed me a menu and said they were on there as she walked off. The bespectacled young lady eventually came back and offered to take our order. We offered our orders and resigned ourselves that water was our only drink option since she had moved on to the food order. I noted she was memorizing the orders from our party of five due to the absence of a pen, paper or electronic device to take notes. Her efforts taking our order met my expectations because a few minutes later she comes back to confirm our order. That was kind of funny to us that anyone could be a waitress and that disorganized. No joke. A few minutes pass and she comes back to confirm our order for a third time. She actually explained she was a little challenged this evening since she had taken a nap just before coming to work. Wow. Well the adults in our party had just worked all day and traveled over an hour for a meal at Mitch's. Please understand we always knew Mitch's to be a cool college town destination that offered reasonable service and nice staff. Not our experience tonight. Insult to injury. Three attempts to get our orders right and she still managed to flub one of the orders in a big way. This young lady needs to call in sick next time and finish out her nap. The food on the correct orders was pretty good. The table favorite was the London broil sandwich with just basic potato chips. That has always been my favorite at Mitch's. However, the service experience was so bad that we considered leaving several times before the meal was delivered. Our food was delivered by a gentleman staff member that offered the hustle we recall from previous Mitch's. We were later cashed out by two ladies with one appearing to be training the other as a new waitress. All that was too late after the first waitress. We will not be back and we will not recommend. We wish Mitch's the best but it is not a place for our family any longer.

    Cool ambiance and fun atmosphere. Would be a fun GameDay vibe. The pretzel was a hit with the kid.

    It was like going back in time to the good old days of pub life. I enjoyed the pub food and good beer. I will be back.

    Hibernian Restaurant & Pub - Shrimp app, salmon entree and bangers entree

    Hibernian has that perfect dim, moody glow with its red leather booths, bookcases stuffed with old…read morenovels, and Irish memorabilia tucked into every corner. It feels like stepping into a pub in Dublin. Cozy, intimate, and full of character. A perfect spot to unwind with a pint. My husband and I went for a date night. We shared the garlic shrimp app, I had the salmon entree and he had the bangers. For drinks a Guinness and Hugo spritz. Everything was yummy, the garlic shrimp a little overcooked but still great flavor. We saved room for dessert and I am glad we did. The cheesecake served warm was a true delight with ice cream. Paired with Irish coffee this is a must! Looking forward to another visit!!!!

    Our experience here on Saturday truly was just okay. It's been a while since I've visited Hibernian…read morebut I've always had positive memories from it. On this visit, we went on a Saturday afternoon. It was moderately busy but not too crazy. We sat upstairs on the patio. The weather was perfect for it. Our server was nice but I believe at some point she forgot to put our food order in. To the point that we were just going to cancel it and head out because we had been waiting so long. Again, not sure if it was the server or the kitchen that was the cause of the delay. The food was fine. The drinks are standard that you would expect from a bar. Overall, a nice place to go and have a pint but that's about it for me.
