So we came here on a Friday night about 6 o'clock and they were supposed to be an open mic…read morehappening which we were excited about because we love performing an open mic. Since we've been out all day we were really hungry so we decided to eat something before we performed. At the moment there couldn't have been more than eight people in the whole place inside and out on the deck total. We were handed menus that had no prices on them. I ordered the buddah bowl with chicken strips and my husband got a quesadilla with steak. It took about 40 minutes for the food to come and the boot bowl was mostly a big bowl of greens with what couldn't have been more than a tablespoon of chicken chopped up on it. It was very tasty. My husband's quesadilla was the size you would expect loaded with cheese but literally one little tiny cube of steak in each of the six wedges. His quesadilla was tasty We only ordered water to drink because we were going to be singing later and it took about 15 minutes for the water to get to us. She "forgot". The whole time we were there nobody checked on us and place never got very busy no more than maybe eight people the whole time. We decided not to stay to sing because there was practically nobody there and the people who were there were outside on the deck while the place for the performers was inside in the bar. And as far as we knew we were the only people there who were planning to perform. The Buddha bowl which would've made a nice side salad to any other meal was $14, while the quesadilla was $13. In my opinion overpriced for what we got. We also bussed our own table.

It was a truly lovely way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon! Can't wait to go back.

We have been wanting to stop at Irish Kevin's since we moved to the area and we had friends from…read moreout of town visiting, so we decided to go for dinner last night. Our waitress was very friendly. We ordered Pickled coins, Irish nachos, and an order of pierogies for our appetizers. Everything was good, though the order of pierogies was small for the price, we all enjoyed them. For our entrees, we ordered the Corned Beef w/ chips, 2 - Chicken Mango Habanero sandwiches, one with regular fries and one with sweet potato fries, Sriracha Glaze wings, and a Turkey Club w/ fries. The Corned beef sandwich was bland and didn't have a lot of flavor and the coleslaw was very watery so the sandwich was soggy in the middle. The homemade chips were very good though. The Club sandwich had a thick layer of onion that killed the taste of the rest of the sandwich, even after it was taken off. The Chicken Mango Habanero sandwiches came out and the chicken was black and burned to a crisp!! I took the worst of the two up to the counter to have it remade and was informed that they looked like that because of the oil they were using, and if they remade it, it would still look like that, so I asked for it to be taken off the bill. Overall, the atmosphere was good,and they have a nice bar, but there was a very strong "sewage" smell in the women's bathroom and they put air fresheners in the floor drain where the smell was coming from, and the food was not great. With our drinks (we were there for a couple hours and there were 6 of us) and food, our bill was over $200. We might go back for drinks since it's close to home, but will not be ordering food again. Very disappointed.

The grilled pizza crust was absolutely amazing--perfectly cooked with a great flavor profile that really stood out. The pepperoni pizza was also excellent, with seasoning mixed right into the cheese that took an already great pizza to the next level. We also ordered the arancini balls with marinara sauce, and they were delicious. Crispy, perfectly fried, and paired with a flavorful marinara. Everything arrived tasting fresh and delicious. Definitely a meal worth ordering again!

The Third Time wasn't a charm. My son is a student in the area and this had become one of our…read morefavorite places to get a meal. Not anymore, after tonight's meal I want to vomit. First, we ordered an appetizer and when the girl bought it out she only had two plates (there were three of us), and she says "sorry, we only have two plates." Then my wife ordered a steak and when the girl brought it out she apologized and said they didn't have any steak knives. So, my wife was supposed to cut her steak with a butter knife. The girl who brought the food to the table was not the same person who took our order. Then I see our waitress and I said that I don't understand how you don't have steak knives and she said oh we do have steak knives I'll bring you one right out. However, she brought out a small pairing knife. Gordon Ramsey would have a field day with this place. Then my son and I both ordered steak sandwiches. He ordered his medium and I ordered mine medium well. So I asked the server how do we know which one is the medium and which one is the medium well she then proceeds to tell me well when you bite into them, you'll know which one is more rare and that would be the medium one. Really?! Needless to say, they just tasted gross and the steak was full of fat. When my wife was done with her steak that she cut with a pairing knife I noticed she didn't need her potatoes or vegetables and I said what was wrong with the potatoes and vegetables and she said to me that they too were gross. The last time we were here we brought my son's roommates and their girlfriends so I think there was eight of us at the time we all had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the place. I don't know what has happened in the past year. We will never be back. The place used to pack a crowd, tonight it was empty.
