    I'm not usually the type to leave reviews, but if this helps someone avoid the experience we had,…read moreit's worth it. We arrived around 11:45 AM. By noon, I had to get up myself to grab menus. A couple of minutes later, someone took our drink order, and we got our drinks after another 5-6 minutes. We then ordered burgers and chili. 40 minutes later--yes, 40 minutes--we finally received our food. In all that time, no one checked in or offered drink refills. After finishing our meal, we waited another 10-15 minutes with no sign of our server. We eventually had to stand up just to get someone's attention so we could leave. Maybe it was just an off day, but based on this experience, I'd have a really hard time coming back. If I could leave less than one star I would have.

    As others have noted in reviews, the service is poor, or nonexistent most of the time--maybe 85%. I…read moredon't usually post on sites like this, but I also saw a review where someone mentioned theft. Two weeks ago, I ordered a beer and was told the price verbally. I paid in cash, but I didn't get the correct change back--only bills. When I asked about the rest, the bartender said they don't give exact change. In other words, they stole about 70 cents. I wasn't too concerned until I read someone else's comment about a possible issue involving a credit card. If they're skimming change from every cash customer, that's basically an automatic "tip" built into every transaction. Unfortunately, they don't have much competition on the west side of Kennewick--especially for a place with pool tables and a layout that encourages you to move around. The free peanuts and popcorn are a nice touch, though. In summary, food is bar food, ambiance is ok, service is a zero and you need to watch out for being skimmed/scammed out of $.

    McGuire's Irish Restaurant & Pub - Double patty, ham slice, and a fried egg, the Blarney Burger is huge with fresh toppings.

    McGuire's is a Yakima institution. It's fairly intimate, low ceilings, lots of TVs, a sit-down Ms…read morePac Man table game, and a couple dart boards. Quirky Irish themed decor, strong drinks, and a surprisingly killer menu. Have been popping in here periodically for 30+ years (in the 90s it was our go-to for cocktails when the now-defunct dance club was next door). Last weekend we were looking for somewhere to wind down on a Sunday night to watch the Seahawks game, have a couple drinks and some dinner. The super friendly bartender seemed to be masterfully running the whole front of house alone. Never disappointed by the food here: Hubs had the corned beef & cabbage and I had the Blarney Burger (double patty with a fried egg) side of delicious potato salad. The portions were big so we took enough home to have for lunch the next day. Local favorite!

    As yous know, I struggle to give reviews for places without going three times at least! However, I…read moremust review in hopes that maybe they would care and change some things! First, I walked in the door, and wasn't sure what to do, as it looked as though the dining room was not in use. I walked to the bar and it had quite a few people in so I asked the bar tender should I sit anywhere. She told me sure, she'd be right with me. She seemed busy and very distracted (having bar tended I know what it can be like) however, when she finally came up wait on me she seemed annoyed! She didn't have any clue what to recommend for cider (come on, its an Irish pub), again I heard the table next to me ask for Irish beer, again she seemed annoyed and told them they won't get anything like that here (really, at an Irish pub)! Not impressed! However, the reason I gave 2 stars is because of the decor, and Frank, the server who took over after the first waitress left! He was great! He was attentive, very friendly, and an excellent waiter. Now, to the food! Gross! I pulled my fish ssnebich apart cause it was so greasy I almost couldn't eat it! The halibut was way over cooked, it was tough and the outside with soaked with grease! For me, this is the nail in the coffin! As a chef, and food critique, I know I'm picky, but I would never have allowed the sandwich I was served to leave my kitchen! The decor, and the quaint wee dining room was a great place to eat lunch! However, the music was too loud, and it was classic rock, which in other atmospheres would not be an issues, but again, this is supposed to be an Irish pub! What this actually is, is an American bar that maybe at one time was run like an Irish pub, but it's not anymore! Makes me sad cause I thought maybe I found a place to go when we are in Yakima! Not so much! I hope they make some changes, but it seems there are lots of locals who are not there for the good and instead are there for American beer!
