I tried the Spiced Lamb Burger, very unique and tasty, and the spiral fries were delicious! Our table also enjoyed Mahi Mahi Tacos and the Southern Chicken and Biscuit sandwich, both very good. The cheesecake with Carmel sauce...wow. The slice was huge, with super creamy texture, just excellent. Also for dessert, I had a seasonal cocktail "All Too Welll", like pumpkin pie in a martini glass! Mom also enjoyed her Carmel Apple Cauldron. Looking forward to going back, this will definitely make our list of favorite spots when we are up north !

The atmosphere is ridiculously cozy, the menu looks fantastic, and as if free peanuts and socially acceptable littering weren't enough... THEY HAVE A POPCORN MACHINE! Honestly, between the peanuts, popcorn, and cocktails, I'm not sure if I'm at a pub, a lions football game or a tigers baseball game, or living my best life. Either way, I'm staying and coming back. Five stars for the only place where I can drink, snack, and make a mess without someone asking if I was raised in a barn- but in case that's the insult I'll proudly stand with the management and agree that your nuts for saying so!

I don't recall anything that screamed "Irish Pub." It's your typical small town neighborhood bar. I sat at the bar and ordered their only craft beer IPA on tap from Alaskan Brewing Co. - the Ice Bay IPA: https://alaskanbeer.com/our-beers/icy-bay-ipa/ The tap they had on hand was misleading, it was labeled as an Amber Ale, but the bartender told me it was an IPA. She served it up in a chilled pint glass. She was right, definitely an IPA and a good one at that! There are a couple of TV's and a couple of pool tables in the back. There was one other customer sitting at the bar while I was there on a Sunday evening. The place had a nicely decorated Christmas tree adorning the bar area. Good place for a beer.

There's a beautiful view, a patio, a rooftop, and TVs everywhere on the main floor, so you won't miss a second of the game. Whether you're there to catch sports, enjoy the scenery, or just have a great meal, they've got you covered. The service was friendly, fast, and the restaurant was clean. The staff works hard, so don't forget to tip! Everyone was so welcoming, and the food was delicious at a great price. I seen a Mac n cheese bowl topped with brisket omg sooooo good Pro tip: Check them out on Taco Tuesday! And one thing I really loved it's kid-friendly! I saw families with kids enjoying themselves while others were watching the game and friends were high-fiving over a beer.

Our server was doing a fairly good job given how busy she was but there was a sense of rushing and hurry. We got one of our orders incorrect and also found hair in it. When we informed the server she said she will remove the item from the bill and hurried away without taking order for the replacement. We were not charged for the returned item but was charged for the replacement so I feel there was nothing really done to try to compensate for their mistake. Food was okay, portion size on the small- medium side, rates are pretty reasonable. The live music and the singer was great which bagged an additional star in the review.

It was especially packed the night I was there because there was trivia happening (which is also the reason we were there) and our server, although she was new, did a great job taking care of our group.

Our server was sweet, attentive, helpful. I want to give Cafe International high marks based on this single quality. Alas, the food makes or breaks a restaurant. The ambience was warm, comfortable and interesting. I enjoyed looking at all the details of decor. I found it to be just "clean enough." One of the two bathroom stall doors would not fully close. The portions of our dinner plate and appetizer were generous, although, the size of the salad bar plate was fairly small. They definitely intend for the salad to be a "side." The lettuce looked wilted, almost like it was slightly frozen, so we made a salad with mostly tomatoes, mushrooms, cheese and croutons. Finally, the final bill, around $35, for an appetizer, dinner and two bottled Pepsis was reasonable, especially as prices for eating out are climbing. Now for the big disappointment: the Jagerschnitzel, our main course, was terrible. The pork was flavorless. The mushroom gravy overshadowed the meat and also lacked notable flavor and the spatzel tasted like balls of flour and water (yep, like little balls of homemade Play dough.) The best part of the dish was the green beans, which may have come from a can. The dinner rolls were ......soft? That's the best I can do. My husband and I were hungry so we ate what we could but we both agreed it was one of the worst meals we've had out in a long time. Our potato skins were fine; lots of potato, not crispy but more like a chunk of a baked potato, with melted cheese and real bacon. We ordered water and couldn't get past the smell of the well water. Our server, who said she lives in the area and is accustomed to it, also acknowledged it can be unpleasant for many. We couldn't order tea or fountain drinks because they use the well water so we had to order a bottled Pepsi. The menu has many items to choose from. I'm wondering if we would have been better off with a sandwich, something ordinary and difficult to prepare poorly. The reviews from other Yelpers are so positive I'm wondering if I'm just not a fan of this type of dish. That's possible. I'll never know because I don't plan to return.
