I might be the one who writes the reviews, but my husband is the one who can really pick a restaurant. We had to drop someone at Logan and wanted to stop for dinner and let the traffic lighten up. What a cute place with a parking lot just across the street. We ate upstairs in 'the dog house' where all the art included dogs The upstairs has a nice big set of windows that help brighten up the room nicely. Our waitress was really nice and very attentive. Best of all, the food was really great! I think this might be one my top 3 French Onion soups I've ever eaten! Hubby got a French dip sandwich and I got the chicken curry. If we are in the area again we would absolutely stop. read more

We were welcomed as soon as we walked in the door! The owner was super nice. Food was delicious, and plentiful portions. Highlights were the Irish Nachos and the Cherry Bomb Burger. Ambiance was clean and pleasant. We were here on a Tuesday night, and it was so chill and easy to talk. Great vibes, can't wait to come back. read more

Delicious food, great ambiance at a reasonable price. Last minute decision while a family member was elsewhere- ordered chicken Caesar tacos - fantastic! Many gluten free options. Staff was unfazed when other family showed up and ended up ordering. Everyone agreed it was a tasty meal, crazelnut beignets were a lovely surprise. Lots of drink options, etc. Swing on by you won't regret it. read more

Discovered from Phantom Gourmet so wanted to try it on a Saturday night for dinner. They have a special menu that they change every Sunday which is neat. So ordered from that menu instead but I know this place is known for burgers and pizza. Ordered the calamari it was crispy. The clam chowder was way too salty and we had to tell them to take it off our bill. The main entree of chicken and butternut squash was not too bad. Service was fantastic, very homey and friendly. read more

Fantastic cozy dim lit Irish pub with big portions of food and nice drinks. Plenty of tables and room at the bar. Irish nachos, fish and chips, and the Reuben all great. 16 oz and 20 oz imperial pours available. Guinness a bit cold but very smooth. read more

Great spot if you're looking for comfort pub food. I got the clam chowder and cherry bomb burger, and both were great. We did have to wait like 15 minutes for a table since it was packed but it went by quick. Our server was attentive and we didn't wait long for our meals. read more

Second review: repeat of my first review on that it's still a great place to eat in Boston. love this place. Comfort food plus. I love their bang bang shrimp, but the meatloaf is also great. I had their special last night. Habanero salmon & it was fantastic. It wasn't too very hot, so don't think it's going to bite. The fish was fantastic. I also had sweet potatoes & their butternut squash along with my dinner. Both great on a cold night in Boston. Oh don't know how I forgot the onion rings. They're incredible! And our server was also amazing. read more

One of the best swordfish meals that I've ever eaten. We sat in a quiet booth, fast service and reasonable prices! The menu is extensive with numerous style pizzas, seafood that once you see it you want to eat it again, and even chicken curry that's scrumptious! Ya gotta try it yourself to believe it! read more

I uncharacteristically had a salad with roasted sweet potatoes, red beets, broccoli and farro and got the salmon on top. The salmon was cooked perfectly. The vegetables were each perfectly roasted. It was so delicious and huge. My husband got the Sheppards pie. It was also huge and delicious. Went back the next day and got sesame chicken stir fry. Another home run! read more

Yelp never fails me. This little gem has great food with a sweet portion size!! Homemade shoe string onion rings!! The Lobsta Roll was over flowing. I ordered to go. They packed everything I needed to succeed this situation. read more

Loved the pub vibe with lots of vintage photos on the wall. Seated quickly on a Friday night at 7:30. Orders taken and delivered promptly. Cordial service. Food tasted fresh with no major problems. Drinks, Paloma and Watermelon mule, tasted watered down, heavy on the seltzer. Not very sweet. Satisfactory Nashville chicken sandwich with equally unremarkable onion rings. Decent lobster roll and sweet potato fries. Steak tips tasted good and came as ordered, medium rare. House made Mac and cheese tasted good. read more

It is hard to get a Five Star review out of me. Paddy's did it. Quaint and maximum use of space. Warm and friendly atmosphere. Happy background music that was not too loud to hold a conversation. We were greeted by an adult host who showed us to our table. Wait staff were friendly and efficient. The menu was diverse. Many specials to consider. Moderate prices. Ample portions. Our two meals came out together and hot. Dining tables made a sanity and clean appearance. The bathroom smelled sanitary and was picked up. All in all a great experience. read more

I joined a friend today at this restaurant/pub and we had an enjoyable time. This place is cozy and friendly. The people who showed us to our seat let us know about a little lip on the floor to watch out for and our server Adam was very helpful and prompt when we needed something. We even asked for his thoughts on the appetizer we were choosing and he gave us exactly what we wanted to hear. We chose the Irish Nachos as an appetizer and they were very delicious. Our meals and drinks came in a timely manner and very good too. We also had some desserts too before we left. Parking for this restaurant is across the street and gets filled quickly since it is not a big parking lot. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good meal. read more

It's named after a dog! Right there is reason enough to love this place, but the food and service also make it worthwhile. The old-time public house atmosphere is sublime. Note that a 4.3 rating on Yelp is impressive--places usually get rated lower on Yelp than Google or Trip Advisor. read more

Right in the corner of Newton is this cute little Irish tavern, with both friendly service despite the bustling and tight atmosphere. Plenty of parking all around, with a metered lot right across the street. Food was fantastic! The beef stew was pretty flavorful, with the meat essentially melting in my mouth and the stew itself being just the right amount of salty and savory - making it a pretty damn good comfort for a cold night. As for the cherry bomb burger, it was pretty flavorful with the cherry peppers, giving it a nice kick. The fries, on the other hand, were pretty satisfying to much on - and surprisingly also paired well with the stew Will definitely come back for more! read more

Ordered the Cherry Bomb Burger. The burger with the Apple wood smoked bacon and special spicy sauce tasted great. The nachos with pulled pork on them were a 5/5. There was plenty to share with a whole table. Perfect amount of toppings. They have a variety of pizzas for a good price. Had an abundance of alcoholic drinks too. The atmosphere is moody and slightly goth. Felt really calm in there. Seems like a casual spot for locals. Service was friendly. Wish it was closer to visit often! read more

Went to this restaurant with my wife and son for dinner one night. We found the restaurant to be very loud and unorganized. It took a while for our waitress to finally get to us and when she did there was no explanations of any special for anything else. We ended up going through the menu and trying to figure out what we wanted. We ordered drinks which took a while to get to us as well. The food was just OK and could've used a lot more flavor or more preparation. Overall, just a very lackluster experience. Would I try again? Not sure. read more

This place was fantastic, my son and I went there for a casual dinner while in Boston after reading the reviews, and it did not disappoint! There were so many good things I could hardly decide. He had the popcorn shrimp which were friend but not too heavy, and I had fish and chips which was delicious. Dessert was good too with oreo cake and chocolate caramel brownie cheesecake!! Parents don't skip the drinks watermelon and spicy pineapple margs were bomb!! read more

Food was good, but manager was very rude and the service was poor. Drinks were forgotten about, and the manager was extremely condescending regarding a misunderstanding. Frustrating and disappointing experience. read more

Ambiance was excellent, service was exceptional, recommendations were very helpful and spot on. Example I intended to buy the clam chowder but French initial always a favorite. Recommendation was French onion and wow loved it. Shepards pie was well prepared despite beef over lamb and definitely worth what paid for. The Guinness was spot on. Oh did forget to mention the carrot cake was best ever. read more

Always ask of the portion may be shared bc the shepherds pie was HUGE- but absolutely delicious. All entrees were great but def could have been split. Def make a reservation if you are visiting for dinner as the place has some high volume times. Great ambiance and service. Will be back soon. read more

This was my first time to the restaurant. The atmosphere is a nice change from the typical restaurants from my local options. There's clearly lots of repeat customers. The servers and host are very friendly. The tables a a little tightly spaced downstairs, I'll try upstairs next time I'm in the area. The food, for the most part was very good... except my main course. I suspect I just had bad luck with the cut of the meat that day. They took it right off my bill to rectify the problem. I would give Paddy's a try again. There's a lot to like. My apologies for only a three star, it's hard to go to four sending food back. read more

Unfortunately I'm so in love with their Granny's turkey sandwich that I never switch it up. This restaurant is very homey with the dark wood everywhere. They restaurant is nicely spaced out, a bar section, a dining section, and an upstairs that's a mix of both. The service here is always quick and they're always so kind. read more

Great local pub with great food. We came in on a Friday night and they were able to seat us pretty easily. To start, we got the chicken wings (sweet Thai chili) and the mozzarella moon sticks. Those were decent. We ordered the chicken pot pie, large calzone, and the meatloaf. All were great. The chicken pot pie is served in a little sourdough bread bowl. This was delicious and not a drop was left. The canned cranberries on the plate were a miss though. The meatloaf was also great and the mashed potatoes were a perfect addition to the meal. I'll definitely be back read more

Food is absolutely excellent. Food, food, food and more food. Best judge of any food establishments !

Don't waste your time or $$$. Find an alternative. Bar staff inefficient and lack personality

So I've eaten here two or three times when I'm here on business. I genuinely think I would be treated differently if I was a regular. My business really wasn't valued here, the two bar maids really made no effort. In fact now that I think about it, I had to ask them for Every thing I needed or wanted. Food was OK. I had a great piece of salmon, but the kitchen didn't drain off the steamed spinach so my mashed potatoes, potatoes being the very essence of my ancestry (!!) were sitting in a soggy pool. On my next trip to town if Patty does come to mind, I will probably say no and try a different place which is a shame because I do want to like this place, but I really did not feel valued as a customer. read more

food was delicious & you get great portions. service was also fantastic. highly recommend!

First time at Paddy's, I didn't even know this awesome place was hiding in West Newton! I love O'Hara's (their sister restaurant) and am now a fan of Paddy's as well after having an early dinner with a friend on a rainy Monday night. We sat at the bar, but there were several booths occupied by 6PM as well as a large group of 7, but the bar is fun to sit at so we snagged the last two stools and I LOVED the hooks under the bar for my purse (thanks for that!!). My friend had a couple of IPA's, two hard ciders for me and we split an order of nachos while waiting for our entrees: a club sandwich w/side of cole slaw for him, and I had the amazing eggplant parm (and a lot of it leftover for lunch a couple of days later). The eggplant was really good, nice sauce and none of the strange rubbery texture that it sometimes will have. There were two bartenders working, no wait at all for drinks and/or food and the place was hopping. I parked right on Elm St (feed the meter until 6PM out front) and my friend parked in the lot across the street. Great food and people, will be back soon! read more

This place was packed at 2 pm on a Saturday! We had the pastrami, reuben and Irish nachos and several iced cold Coors lights. We shared sandwich halves and the consensus was that the pastrami was slightly better than the Reuben! Perfect weekend lunch that totally hit the spot! read more

I will give Paddy's Public House in Newton, MA, a round-up five-start review from my four and 1/2-star experience. I was staying in the area and visiting my daughter, and I walked over here for a meal by myself. When I arrived, the bar and restaurant downstairs were packed, and the hostess nicely and smartly recommended I check out the upstairs when I mentioned I wanted to eat at the bar. The ambiance throughout was that of a typical Irish pub. The menu options were excellent, and there were several items I would like to try. I ordered the steak tips with mashed potatoes and squash, and they hit the spot. I also had a couple of IPAs as well. The beer and drink selections were solid. My bartender provided excellent service. Overall, this was a 100% positive experience, and I would be a regular if I lived in the area. read more

I had an exceptional experience at Paddy's Public House! Our server, Morgan, went above and beyond with attentive and friendly service--she made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Reuben, which was easily the best I've had in ages. The meat was tender, the sauerkraut and dressing were perfectly balanced, and the bread had just the right amount of crispness. It was truly fantastic! The ambiance in the bar area added to the experience, with a warm, classic pub vibe that felt inviting and stylish without losing that cozy charm. It's the ideal spot for both a lively night out or a relaxed dinner. Overall, Paddy's Public House has everything I look for: excellent food, great service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer. Highly recommended--especially if Morgan's your server! read more
