I was satisfied with my hefty lunch! There was such a generous amount of fries that I couldn't finish it all, but I made sure to finish my hamburger meat and toast. Having tried a couple places, I can't say this was the best, but it was definitely good! I do wish the fries were a bit crispier. Service was a bit slow but it appeared that they were short staffed to the point where the hostess was our waitress.

After waiting a half hour for drinks, the owner screamed in my friends face for "being in the way", and screamed at my friends and I to "GTFO". The owner of this establishment was drunk on the job, and reeked of alcohol. This is not how a business should be ran, and I'm sorry for the others who were disrespected yesterday as well. I've been around the globe, and I have never seen such a disorganized and dangerous environment to grab a drink with friends. There are much better alternative bars nearby... I'd consider going elsewhere if you're seeking a fun or safe time out with friends or family.

The bartenders were fantastic and the atmosphere there is exactly what I want out of an Irish pub. I wish I'd taken pictures, but I got carried away with having such a good time that we forgot. We also ended up finishing a bottle of Jameson by paying for four shots, and got to sign it! (That's a tradition --- finish a Jameson bottle, sign it, and they put it on the wall). I'm very honored to have my name inside a Springfield institution. My wife used to live in Springfield, and this is one of her favorite spots. So we will definitely be back!

I just want to make a post about the horrible experience we just had at JP Kelly's. Our whole…read morefamily went in there to drink after the farmers market. I brought my dog, as he is well behaved. We saw the same corgis at buzz bomb-everyine was chills after a few barks He was just fine at Buzz Bomb, where we came from. There were other dogs at Buzz bomb and of course some barking took place then everyone was friends. NO PROBLEMS!! K? Keep that in your back pocket while reading this. Our family decided to go to JPs. Clyde didnt make a sounds the entire time. Multiple people came up to me saying how good of a boy he was being. He was minding his business. This couple with 2 corgis comes in, same people from buzz bomb, and obviously my dog is interested as is theirs. Their dog barked first*****, so mine barked after, duh. So a bartender came up to us (group of 10-12) and said if my dog barked again, we needed to leave. I asked another bartender why because the other couples dog barked first and his response was "well they come in weekly" ahhhh sooo it's okay since they patron there often and we don't as much. Although, their dog started it everytime?? So I was saying goodbye to my family and ANOTHER bartender came up saying we had to leave and don't come back. TRUST!!! We won't!! AFTER clyde and I left, the bartender told my brother in law that he told us to leave 3x which literally did not happen!! He told me the one time and we left. So please!! Roll the footage on that one I would love to see it. The bartender tried fighting my brother in laws dad after nasty comments were made about my niece.

Then morphed to Sir Pizza, a pizza place with an Arthurian theme. When local musician George Rank picked it up and opened George Rank's Spirits and Sandwiches it was well-received and of decent quality. Alas, nothing is forever and George is no longer with the living. The location has had many names and themes since then, often returning to the "George Rank's" meme. The latest iteration started out well as the owner had owned a popular chilli parlour and brought Nancy, the lady who made the chilli and soups over to the bar and grill. As noted above, nothing is forever. Nancy has moved on. There are no soups, the chilli would make a Pennsylvania diner or truck stop proud - but certainly is not fit to be served in the "Chilli Capitol of the Civilised Universe". The ambiance has changed, too. Noisy video poker machines spew their racket into the smallish room, making conversation difficult. And the video jukebox flashes its adverts garishly into the gloom. I ordered a roast beef and pepper jack sandwich on a wheat roll. After a few minutes and after my dining companions had received their food I was told that "the roast beef is still frozen" (this was after 12 noon) and asked would I like another choice of meat. So, I asked for the Virgina ham, pepper jack cheese on a whole wheat roll. What I got was ham, yellow cheese and a white roll. And the above mentioned horrid cup of chilli. None of us will be back under the current owners.
