    Sometimes you get smiled on. My husband bought a Groupon and neglected to notice that the emphasis was on the place being a bar not a restaurant and we no longer drink. So with some trepidation, we traveled up to Legacy and the Tollway and found a pleasant surprise in Scruffy Duffies. With an actual somewhat scruffy brick, board, wrought iron and sports bar/pub atmosphere, the main room is loud and cavernous with multiple jumbo screens and a long bar across one end. There's a small pool room separate from the main room and then, through another door, is the patio. Now the patio is unusual in that it's not actually outdoors; the parking garage is above it. However, wrought iron doors open onto the sidewalk, NOLA style, and there are misters and fans and built in heaters and a fireplace for the colder months. It's a terrific design and no one but us was interested in being out there. It was perfect; but it was a Tuesday, so I wouldn't expect that on a weekend, anytime. The food was also surprisingly good. We split two sandwiches: a club sandwich that was the perfect bite with thick bacon and a pesto aioli and a savory Philly Cheese Steak on a wonderfully fresh and soft hoagie roll. They came with your choice of fries or tots. We tried both and they were terrific - soft inside and crunchy outside. Both sandwiches were also modestly priced. My spouse wanted to try the crispy chicken wings and of the 4 available versions, he opted for Cajun. The 10 wings for $13.00 came with giant carrot and celery sticks with ranch dressing. The wings were perfectly cooked and crispy; but the seasoning, although flavorful, didn't strike me as Cajun and was simply too salty. It lacked any heat or paprika. They were good with the ranch dressing, though. A special mention about our server, Rian. She made an effort to meet us at the door, seat us out on the patio and then had to continue to attend to only us out there while keeping tabs on everyone else inside. She was exceptionally busy; but always kept an eye on us. I never saw anyone else. She had a lovely personality, as well. We liked Scruffy Duffies. Parking was easy - across the street or in the garage. It's a comfy place to eat, drink and watch sports. I noticed they have a live DJ on Friday and Saturdays and all kind of specials through the week. We had a good time and would return.

    Almost are all of them before I remembered to take a pic!

    Popped in here for a quick bite and had a very tasty quesadilla and fries. The quesadilla was full of flavorful and tender chicken. The fries were skinny, hot and seasoned. Service was excellent.

    We had our alumni happy hour. I had worked with Chelsea to arrange the event and she was a pleasure to work with. We had the entire patio portion to ourselves (~30 folks), various beer on tap and good quality food (see pics). Parking is super easy with this place and its easily accessible to DNT. Chelsea and other waitresses looked after us really well. If there is another chance to host happy hour, I will definitely consider this place!

    Great spot located in shops of legacy! It's off to the side a little bit so you are not in the middle of all the madness going on at the shops. Plenty of open seating, a big screen as well as other TVs at the bar. There is another part to the bar almost separate where you can have large parties for special events or just any regular time. Daily specials and happy hour deals! Hunter was our bartender and did a wonderful job! He was very helpful on what to choose off the menu since we had never been there before. Tried the pizza fries and the Philly cheesesteak eggrolls. Both were delicious. It was very cold out so it was awesome to see they had a fireplace inside by the pool table. Afterwards you can go check out the beautifully lit Christmas tree around the water.

    This is a very good bar to hang out, specially if you live in the legacy area. No cover, drinks prices are reasonable, food is good, I have never had a problem with my check, and bartenders have always been great. Now the action at this place starts around 10pm, if you come early, it may look like another irish pub, with some patrons here and there, and average noise. The indoors area is more noisy, crowded, Live DJ, the patio is more relaxed, less crowded, you still get to enjoy the DJ selection, and also there is a bar inside and outside. Inside bar is more commercial beers with a huge selection, outside bar is more IPAs and craft beer.

    Brook & Elyssa we're spectacular tonight. It was slow when we walked in and they were instantly bomb rushed by large party... the impeccable customer service that was applied was unparalleled to the surrounding bars. Peak times two women multitasking at its finest.. BRAVO ZULU

    Didn't eat here but went out for the night and got some drinks! Would say they are reasonably priced. Fun place with a DJ at night. Also has some games like pool. Plenty of TVs for watching sports

    Gillespie's is located in "The Shire" of far northeastern Richardson, TX along the President George…read moreBush Tollway 190, off of Jupiter Road. Plenty of free parking, but it fills-up, as the Silver Fox bar is neighbor. A glass of Smithwick's draught beer, and a snack from the excellent menu brought me here, as well as the joyous & vibrant crowd. A live Irish band was setting up on the stage, but I had other things scheduled for my Saturday night. For now, college football was on the bigscreen above me, staff was busy with all seats along the bar taken, and I looked thru the amazing food menu of Irish & UK style dishes, with some San Patricio dishes from Mexico! The San Patricio Brigade of the Army of Mexico in 1846 were Irish conscripts that deserted the US Army invasion into Mexico due to Protestant American officers not allowing the Irish troops to attend Mass in the Mexican cathedrals. Then, most of the Irish "deserted", to defend Mexico from this invasion dreamed-up by U.S. President Polk to create more new States for Dixie to expand (Polk was a slave holder). The Irish ran the line of cannons for Mexico to win one battle, but Mexico was running low on bullets & supplies by now, and doomed for a loss. (If the Irish had just waited 2 more weeks, it would have been over with). Alas, the US Army quickly executed 30 of the Irish San Patricios in a mass hanging, while a group were hot-branded a letter "D" on their faces for "Deserter". (If seen again in USA, anyone could hang them) However, an untold amount escaped into the hills of Mexico, and married into the families. The Saint Patrick's Brigrade has a monument in Mexico. And USA gained the territory that Polk wanted, while a junior Congressman named Lincoln shook his head, yet had plans of his own. Meanwhile, Mexico would have another revolution in 1910, and a young Irish Mexican boy would enter USA with his family to end up in Los Angeles where young Anthony Quinn became a promising young architect, married a 35-year old woman who arranged acting lessons for him, giving the movie industry a macho man star. Come over to Gillespie's for more stories & cold pints! And good food, and live music!

Since we were really stopping in for drinks and apps we did not get to experience a lot of the menu. The fish and chips is something I will definitely try next time. We had the app sampler, cup of soup and a few drinks. Wife loved her blackberry lemon drop house drink. The app sampler really surprised us in a good way. The fried cheese and corned beef/reuben egg rolls were out of this world. The potato skins and jalapeño poppers were good too but as mentioned the other two items were on a higher level of greatness.

    Stopped by today for lunch with my son. It is self seating and you order up at the bar area…read more Service was great, the lady working up front greeted us right away and was very friendly. The restaurant itself has a real cool hip vibe, definitely up my alley. I ordered myself the beer cheese-steak (with fries) and a blue sapphire cocktail - these. were. AMAZING! They even have a "micro brewers menu" aka kids menu, my son chose the mini smashburgers with chips. He loved it so much, there was nothing left on his plate at the end. They have a bunch of board games available to use while dining so my son and I grabbed a Jurassic Park matching game, this was a super fun activity to do together while munching away. We had a wonderful time here and will surely be back soon. :)

    I'll start with the positives, this location has so much potential! I love that there's a brewery…read moreright on Main Street. What a fantastic addition to the community. The decor and theme are inspired by New Orleans/Creole/Cajun vibes, and it's beautifully put together. The layout of the location is a slight "L" shape, so seating can be a bit limited during busy times. It's a seat-yourself setup, and they provide QR codes at the tables for you to place your order and pay when you're ready. Now, onto the food and service. Unfortunately, the wait for both food and drinks were longer than expected, even as the rush began to die down. Our pretzel appetizer didn't arrive until near the end of our meal, and sadly, it was overcooked. Drinks The beer was great and a definite highlight of the experience. Here's what we ordered: Appetizers Giant Pub Pretzel ($13.99): A 12.05 oz pretzel served with signature beer cheese and beer mustard. Unfortunately, this dish was a disappointment. Despite being called "Giant," the pretzel was thin, and was a bit overcooked. While we enjoyed the beer cheese, the beer mustard could have stayed in the kitchen. Loaded Broccoli ($8.99): Steamed broccoli seasoned with Cajun spices, topped with melted cheese and your choice of chicken, beef, or pulled pork. I chose chicken, which was delicious and well-seasoned. However, the cheese was a huge letdown, it had an odd, roux-like texture and flavor that nearly made the dish inedible. Entrée Voo-Dill Pickle Pizza ($12.99): Made with roasted garlic pesto, fresh mozzarella, thick-cut pickles, and a special Voo-Dill seasoning. While the concept was intriguing, the execution fell short. The pizza crust was undercooked, and the pickles seemed like they were added at the very end instead of being baked with the pizza. The garlic pesto was the highlight of this dish. Desserts -King Cake Slice ($3.XX): Clearly store-bought and not made in-house. It also took a while to reach our table, which was odd considering it's pre-packaged. The kitchen area even had the King Cake box visible. Beignets ($7.99): Over-fried and served with icing that was overly lemony, which overpowered the dish. Side Order Jalapeño Slaw ($2.99): The star of the meal! It had the perfect balance of mayo and vinegar, with a fresh kick from the jalapeños and Cajun spices. I wish I had ordered more! I think this place has a lot of potential. The concept is fantastic, but the kitchen needs improvement. I do plan to return and give it another try because the space and the idea are great. Hopefully, next time the food lives up to the vision!

He's British and wanted to find some really good Fish and Chips. I had high hopes, especially since this was a "Pub". Pub's over in England have the BEST food! He ordered Fish and Chips and I ordered a Patty Melt. The waitress brought us out drinks (waters) and we waited. And waited. And still waited. There was a couple at the table next to us and they were waiting also. FINALLY the Fish and Chips arrived, it was SO exciting! Well, I should say it was just the Fish and Chips that arrived. The lady at the table next to us had ordered the Fish and Chips also. The gentleman next to us had to wait for his food just a little bit longer, and when it came I saw that it was a hamburger. I was the only one now who was still waiting on their meal. At this point I was thinking of just canceling my order because it was taking so long, but then it finally appeared. I looked at the chips and thought to myself, "what are these?" They did not resemble the Chips that we were accustomed to having. I was hoping for thick slices of potato, like Steak Fries or Cottage Fries. These resembled thick slices of potato chips and they really weren't thick at all. My husband continued to eat his meal. I looked at his meal and thought "why is that one piece of fish over on the left side of his plate/tray?" It looked overcooked. Really overcooked. He didn't look very pleased. Come to find out, it wasn't just over-cooked, it was also dry. And it was a very small portion. Please note: he ordered the larger portion, not the half portion. But it was really small. We both continued to eat our meals and then asked for the bill, paid and then left. As usual, we always discuss the new places we visit on the way home. We both agreed this time. We had high hopes. But the Fish and Chips were not as authentic some reviewers have mentioned. So we most likely won't be back. Which is too bad, because it is a really cute place and we really wanted to like it. On to the next. Hopefully some day we will find some really good Fish and Chips.
