    We had such a good visit on Valentine's Day! The staff was super friendly and food was great! We got the Irish egg rolls as well and they were really good (very filling). The restaurant was very casual and has clearly been around for a while.

    Wow. Maybe we caught it on a bad day. Came in for brunch / lunch on a Sunday. Two out of three meals were obnoxiously subpar. My wife's three meat omelette was burnt. How do you unknowingly burn eggs? But see the pictures I attached. A deep brown omelette. And the meats were undetectable by taste. My wife never sends food back, but she did raise the issue with the waiter. His response was "Yeah that looked pretty brown to me when I brought it out." WTF? You saw it was bad and brought it anyway? Daughter faired no better. Peel and eat shrimp and hushpuppies. The hushpuppies had been cooked in oil at much too high a temperature, as the outside was done but the middle was literally wet uncooked batter. She asked for more, which came out okay. The shrimp were very rubbery and overdone. We wondered if they had been cooked elsewhere and reheated here. But she didn't send these back after the eggs and hushpuppies.... we were afraid of the kitchen's reaction. Clearly there was an inexperienced or I-Don't-Care cook in the back and we were just about done with it. This would be one star, but my shepherd's pie was good. Not great but good. And the onion rings and fried mushrooms were both good. So two stars on food. And two stars on service because of the brown egg comment and having to ask for refills on drinks. At least he took the omelette off the bill without us asking so he gets the second star. I am asked frequently "who has good brunch?" Unfortunately I cannot continue to include O'Tooles in my responses,.

    It's a cozy Irish pub and I'm not saying it's small. It just gives you a big hug. They have some traditional Irish dishes, but they also have 1 million different appetizers. I was not impressed by my Irish coffee, but I like the food a lot they have specials every day and my favorite specialist that discounted hamburgers on Tuesday.!

    I went this past weekend and it was a good local spot to check out in Forest Hill. The staff was friendly and the drinks were good as well as the food. I got a Bloody Mary and the buffalo chicken wrap. The atmosphere felt quant and divey (in a good way). It was very cozy so it's perfect for a cold winter day!

    Love this Irish pub! We share a huge club sandwich that was delish! This steak fries were hot and yummy! The ambiance is relaxing with dark wood, coats of arms lining the walls, and Guinness decor everywhere! Our service was average, but friendly! Prices won't drain your wallet!! If you're feeling the luck o' the Irish, pop in for a pint!

    Great atmosphere. Food seems to be well balanced flavor and not over seasoned in a good way. Price is very reasonable with great service!

    It was like having a little nook all to ourselves ! Great food, great service, awesome ambiance…read more All cushioned seats and so cozy. Everything on the menu was a 5, okay I make my own gravy and it wasn't that (but it was good, and a little salty but very good with the bangers and mash. ) Bangers & mash very good! Burger very good! Jalapeño poppers awesome. The curry fries with chicken tenders and onions will blow your mind with flavor. Wow on the reubin and the turkey avocado sandwiches. Had a waitress that laughed. Had a great time.

    Initially intended to grab brunch across the street but wandered over here instead…read more Overall, the vibe is very on brand. Liverpool was playing and I imagine it's a great space to watch this if that's your speed. Sunday lunch menu had a good mixture of things. I was drawn into the special, which was a pork belly quiche with Irish cheese and green onions. This was ultimately quite fine. Big quiche fan but this wasn't my favorite crust nor my favorite cheese. And if I hadn't been told there was meat in it I'm not sure I would have noticed. The side salad had a nice balsamic dressing. What was most bothersome, though, was the size of the quiche. It was cheap enough but not really a lunch potion. Wish I had gone with a sanwich. Drinks were good-pretty standard. The service was astounding and everyone was so nice. Probably wouldn't come back for the food but if you want to watch some football (soccer) it's a nice option.

We had about a 20 min wait. There is also indoor and outdoor seating along with bar seating. We had a good waitress and we had good service. All of us had a different beer. There is a small beer menu but with a good variety. I had a red ale and an orange wheat. We all had different sandwiches as well. I had the riverside burger and it was really good. It is a small place overall but has a community/local feel to it. It is a little out of the way for us but I would go back again if in that area.

    Wasn't too busy on a Sunday afternoon, they have a little parking lot. They have some patio chairs…read moreright out front, a bar and some seating inside and then a patio outside. The patio is covered and has 2 heaters. We walked into the bar and the bartender directed us outside where our server came out and got us waters. She helped us turn the heaters on and got us settled as we waited for the rest of our family to arrive. For apps, we ordered the Fried Oysters and the chicken tenders with BBQ sauce. The chicken tenders came with fries as well. The oysters were good, nice and crispy. The tenders were also delicious, especially with the BBQ sauce. The fries, while they looked crispy, were just a tad soggy for my taste. For our entrees, I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich and my husband ordered the cubano. Our family ordered salads with salmon. Everything looked delicious and was fairly quick to come out. My sandwich came with ranch and it definitely helped tone down the saltiness of the Fried chicken. Just eating the chicken alone was too salty and I had asked for my fries extra crispy which were amazing. The cubano sandwich was good and well made and the side of Brussels my husband got were also crispy. The salads and the salmon looked good, definitely cooked well. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. The person who helped bring out our drinks also ended up bringing out some bacon for our dog and was so kind. The patio is dog friendly but I would recommend brining a towel or mat for your pup to lay on. Overall, great service and good food!
