I was in Rochester from out of town and wanted to find a place to watch the Sabres game. This bar came across my radar and when I asked around it came across highly recommended. It was NOT a disappointment. It's crazy I lived in Rochester for 18 1/2 years and never heard of it before and that was my loss. The atmosphere, the energy, the community in this bar was outstanding. They have a great selection of beers on tap. I started with The Kind but when I saw they had Mass Riot from Prison City I quickly moved to that. Didn't think I was going to eat but the food smelled so good I had to order. SO many things looked great on the menu it was so tough to choose. Ended up getting hot Buffalo Wings and the Pot Roast Grilled Cheese. The wings were good. A little sweet which is not my jam for Buffalo Wings but they still were good quality. The Pot Roast Grilled Cheese was absolutely freekin outstanding. Shamrock Jacks is now on my must visit every time I come back to Rochester. read more

If you live in Rochester or visiting, you must make it a point to take in a dinner at Shamrock Jacks. Awesome food and a great selection of cocktails. They have always changing Irish specials and a whole list of other delicious food. A host of very attentive and welcoming staff and there is plenty of parking off the street. If you visit during the Holidays you will be treated to a beautiful tree made with Jameson Bottles standing tall out front. read more

A lovely venue with a patio just seconds away from Seabreeze Amusement Park. We stopped in for dinner after a day on the rides. Our server recommended the corned beef & cabbage, and I was not disappointed. My wife ordered the baked haddock and it was huge! Of course, we had to wash things down with a few Irish beers: Guinness and Smithwick's. A neighborhood gem that is a real bargain consiering the gigantic portions. read more

Beware; Processing fee added whether you use cash or credit. When questioned, the manager said "Don't come back, I don't care." Wow, we were shocked at this. But he will have his wish; we won't be back. read more

First off--our server was INCREDIBLE! She was so nice and accommodating with everything and really made the experience memorable. And the food was to DIE for! Not just the appetizers but our entrees too. I don't know if I'll ever be back near Rochester but I would 100% come back here time and again. read more

Shamrock Jack's Irish Pub - Salmon with irish butter mashed potatoes and broccoli - Seafood Near Me - Rochester, New York

Holy cow. This little Irish Pub and eatery is SO GOOD. Started with Cheese Curds and French Onion Soup. Curds were fresh with a light crispy batter, homemade. Soup was rich and flavorful! Dinner entrees were the Reuben with homemade corned beef, pot roast grilled cheese, kids cheeseburger, and the Cottage Pie. Zero complaints from anyone in our party. Service was great, Guinness was cold. All around great experience read more

Delicious food and menu selection, service and wait staff are excellent. Michael is fantastic and seemed to be always on the move greeting, seating, checking and paying attention. You have a choice of eating at a booth in the bar area or you can choose from 3 other dining rooms. Nice and unique. Always a smile on everyone's faces! Such a fun place. read more

Terrific food great ambience and great staff. Food is always delicious regardless of what I have ordered

I love a good Irish pub experience and Shamrock Jack's delivers! I had only been once before in 2018, and had a lovely time then. My partner and I were hoping to mini golf (FYI - Pinewood not yet open for the season, womp womp), then grab a drink. We skipped straight to drinking and had a lovely time sitting out on the Culver rd patio. The inside looked quite busy for a Thursday, so we were content to sit out on the patio alone. I went with a moscow mule, which was delicious and served in an absolut mug. Colin went with an "old fashioned" (who orders an old fashioned at a pub? LOL), and it came out looking almost like a tropical drink! We both enjoyed either way and our server was super attentive and sweet. You have to order food still currently, so we went with the pub pretzels, which were totally sweet and had an almost churro-y texture? IDK but we were into it. I want to go back and try some more menu items. The prices are super reasonable (my mule was $7), and when I went for lunch in the past everyone thoroughly enjoyed everything they had. I am looking forward to more summer time drinks on the patio this year! read more

My sweet friend and I went on Monday 4/1 for a quiet dinner. Wrong. It was anything for the first 30 minutes but even mildly quiet. I had Salmon and he had Delmonico steak. I have to say I have NEVER had better Salmon. It was flavorful as were the mashed potato's and the broccoli. Irish butter pad sat on top of the fish just melting away. It had a light crunch to the out side that I was told was pan seared and then baked. Perfection! Our waitress was absolutely fabulous. The bar has a lot of really nice features. It did finally calm down with the exception of a 60 something fellow at the bar carrying on a loud long conversation on his phone. We will go back again, it was charming. read more

My boyfriend and I came in this evening and had calamari and bowl of Mouthwatering French onion soup. The other soup this evening was the Manhattan chowder.for the appetizer. And for the main course he had a fish fry with french fries and coleslaw. My main course was lobster mac & cheese. Unfortunately there are no photos to share as we ate them, as we couldn't wait. The food was absolutely magnificent. The only thing that did not get touched before I had a chance to photograph them with it that's just amazing desserts. Shamrock Jack's resturants is an absolute & definite must read more

Today we scheduled a lunch gathering of 7 at Shamrock Jack's. We were greeted kindly at the door and promptly seated in the large room off the barroom. Our server, Alisha, was alert, as we were seated, and took drink orders as we waited for one of our group to arrive. As we placed our food orders, she was very positive, offered suggestions when asked, and had no problem with preparing separate checks for the group. The variety and extent of the menu items was fantastic. We all were pleased with quality of the food, and portions were more than ample. All told, excellent destination, highly recommended. Thank you again Alisha for excellent experience! read more

We couldn't decide what to do for dinner so we came down the road to one of our local hangouts. I have been here plenty of times but just realized I haven't written a review! To start - we waited ~10 minutes to be seated because the kitchen was overwhelmed. To me, this is excellent management and I really appreciate that (as I am sure the kitchen staff did too)!! I definitely did not mind waiting as we just grabbed a drink at the bar and sat outside in the beautiful weather. My husband ordered the fish fry, which he said was absolutely delicious. He subbed out coleslaw for Mac salad too and he said their Mac was superb. I ordered a special, which was probably the best meal I have had in a LONG time. Teriyaki pork ribeye, garlic parm fries & roasted asparagus. Wow, just wow. I don't think I've ever had a pork ribeye before but this was so tender it basically fell apart. The teriyaki sauce was amazing and not too salty or overwhelming as some can be. The garlic Parmesan fries were crispy, garlicky and parmesany (haha) and the asparagus was roasted to perfection. Overall, this special should become a regular menu item so I can come back next week and have it again!! We also sat outside on their patio and got to enjoy the sounds of Seabreeze and of course, people watch! Wonderful experience here, as usual! read more

I've been to number of places in Rochester for corn, beef and cabbage and by far Shamrocks Jacks outdoes.them all, the corn beef was out of this world, actually everything was out of this world I'm I'm so happy. I found them , so on the 17th of every month, they do the corn beef and cabbage. I suggest you try it. Thank you. read more

The lobster bisque is phenomenal. I was shocked with the amount of lobster in it. I wish I bought a gallon of it !

Called in for a takeout. We used to go there and loved the food. I ordered two potroast sandwiches, mac and cheese, and onion soup. My husband picked up the food. The sandwiches came with a side. The good thing was that everything had plenty of cheese. The not so good part was that the food was salty and generic. Not the usual high standard they used to serve. 67.00 later, we threw out the soup, ate half our sandwich, and called it a day. Do not waste your money. Very disappointed. read more

We were there for dinner 2/27 about 5:45 and we were seated at table PR4 and Jordon F was our server. This was my second time there for a date night with my special lady. The first time was a great experience, good food, seated outside on a warm summer night it couldn't have been better. Last night certainly was not the same type of experience. As we both sat at the table waiting for drinks to come we both thought someone was smoking inside as there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke. As the minutes went by we kept smelling it and it was very strong. We ordered and just before the food came out I looked down on the table and on my napkin with the fork was a 1/2 smoked cigarette butt. That was the stench and it was disgusting. I picked up the fork and it was not clean there was still food on it. When Jordon returned we gave her the napkin with the butt and told her how disgusting it was and she replied that it was kinda gross. We didn't enjoy the dinner or the date night after that because if there was a cigarette butt on the napkin and dirty fork, to us that means the table probably wasn't even cleaned before and that's not acceptable. We had that skeevy feeling while eating after that. I wanted management to be aware of this as I am quite sure a business owner would not want this happening in their establishment. So we have one really good experience there and one really bad experience there. If we were to ever return again what should we expect that experience to be? read more

Oof. Friday night dinner so yes they were busy, but we really felt left behind. I don't know if our server thought that because my father-in-law is a regular she could neglect our table in favor of others or what it was. Know that if you sit outside on a nice evening, it's going to be LOUD. Many, many muscle cars, motorbikes, and motorcycles going by pretty constantly. Only received three menus when there were four of us, took a long time to get drinks, then took even longer to put in our food order. The food did come out quickly, but the server who brought it out to us was not our server and provided better service. At one point our server brought out drink refills unprompted, which was nice, but forgot mine and then took two asks to bring it for me. The only one who really enjoyed their meal was my father-in-law, who had a plain burger, no bun, with a side of fries. To be fair, the burger has to be pretty good to just be plain like that and be enjoyable, but they also still gave him lettuce and tomato, which he had asked to not have. My partner's burger was "just okay". The Dublin ($16) had short rib on top, but they said it was too dry and whatever "boom boom" is, there wasn't enough of it. Having bacon with it was almost too much meat, and they are never one to say such things. Since it was Friday, my partner's grandmother and I selected the fish fry. We both had it beer-battered, but know that they put cornmeal in their batter so it's not like the beer battering you're used to. Neither of us was a fan. It was a big piece of fish, though! The coleslaw wasn't flavorful and the tartar sauce was definitely from a bottle. We all agreed that they had skimped on the fries ("Jack fries", more like potato wedges) so the main dish to sides ratio was off. As I said, my partner's father-in-law is a regular, but I wouldn't be back outside of going with him if he wants to. read more

We met friends at Shamrock Jack's for dinner and drinks. There was a slight wait, but we didn't mind. The beer selection was good, which was to be expected, considering it's an Irish Pub. For dinner, we ordered a bunch of appetizers to share and plenty of beer. No complaints. Everything was good and the service was great. We loved the ambiance! We quickly realized that this place is fun! We'll be back - likely on the 17th of every month leading up to St. Patrick's Day! read more

Shamrock Jack's Irish Pub - people sitting at the bar - Seafood Near Me - Rochester, New York

I wish I'd taken pics.... Let me start by saying I had the most exultant Rueben I've ever had on St. Patrick's Day 2021 here. I'd been craving it ever since, but it's a solid 25 min drive to this restaurant , which as you know , in the general Rochester area , becomes believed to be a *really* long drive. So it's Sept 2023- I was served the worst Reuben sandwich I've ever had and paid the most for it. $18, plus the waitress charged me an extra $1 for sauerkraut when I asked for it, because it was non-existent on the uninspired, anemic, dry, crushingly disappointing thing that arrived in my plate. I am absolutely stunned this place stays in business. I can't imagine that the rest of the menu is inspired. Definitely will never go back. Ever. read more

Enjoyed a night out with a party of 7 here. I shared a nice sized fish fry with my daughter. Our other child had a burger--it was a bit undercooked. The side of macaroni and cheese was huge. In general everyone enjoyed this place! The restaurant was also accommodating to my in laws who both walk with canes--opening a side door to make it a shorter walk to and from the table. read more

One of the few restaurants in the Seabreeze area and it was surprisingly good. The burger was good and so was the macaroni and cheese. They had a few food specials when we went as well. There are inside and patio seating. They have classic Irish dishes and more Americanized ones. A full bar! read more

Yum! Everyone loved their food here. The sandwiches are nicely buttered and toasted, very savory. Their sweet potatoes fries are sugared with cinnamon, they're like candy! I would definitely return and recommend. read more

Very good food! Love the grilled cheese pot roast sandwich and the buffalo chicken grilled cheese. Never have had a bad meal.

Phone is hardly ever picked up . Constant busy busy signal . Called once to test it & their phone was busy for 15 minutes until I got to the restaurant and went I got there , the phone was just sitting on the counter . Another occasion , Went in to place a small take out order and got turned away coz the kitchen is busy . Lousy customer service. Unreal . read more

This is my second time eating at this place. The first time I had a fish fry because a lot of people told me it was good. And it was good but I definitely had better. This time they had weekend specials and I ordered the Guinness beef stew which comes over egg noodles. The waitress told me that's her favorite. Now by the name of this you would think, "this is going to have a lot of flavor, since Guinness alone is a very strong beer".. NOPE!!!!! Zero Flavor!!! So disappointing. I put a ton of salt, pepper and grated cheese and I still felt like it needed more. I didn't even taste any Guinness in it. The 2 stars are for the place. It was very cool. A lot of old photos, antiques and full of the Irish culture. It was just like an authentic Irish pub. The waitress was friendly and service was great. read more

Irish Pub and Restaurant all in one! This is a regular spot for my family and friends. I have been to many private parties/events here. The family owned staff really know how to treat you well. Spacious bar area, with a lot of Irish flare, music and art work. Irish nachos and fried pickles are delicious appetizers. Lots of live music events. Hours are: Mon - Sun 11:30am to 2am Make sure to stop here for St Patty's Day, huge tent out back with live music and amazing drink specials! Irish stew is homemade and perfect! read more

For me this is the best restaurant in the area. Great food. Great conversations. While all the food is good we particularly like the Shepard's Pie and they have the best Pork Chops anywhere. They also have a great selection of beer and spirits. In particular they have a large selection of Irish Whiskey something a significant number of 'Irish Pubs' do not have.

Friendly staff and good food! My partner and I shared the Clevelander Burger and the Pot Roast Grilled Cheese. The burger was okay, not as special as I wanted it to be, but the grilled cheese was incredible! The pot roast was flavorful, the cheese melty and the bread soft, highly recommend! Sweet potato fries were very good, recommend those over the normal fries. Rest of my group enjoyed their food as well. read more
