The service was excellent, made even better by the fact that she was so excited we were going to a hockey game. The food was fantastic, perfectly prepared and came quickly. I had the Irish Philly, my wife got the ghost cheese salad (hilarious because she picked the place because she wanted fish n chips). We both really enjoyed the meal. Definitely want to come back and try more dishes.

The green beans were not very warm but still good. The brussel sprouts were not warm at all and so disappointing. The fish was excellent! The tables were clean and cleared quickly, which is always a good thing. The time of day I went , early evening, was busy but not crowded. The noise level was pleasant, not too loud at that time. There's outdoor seating offered as well, but the largest group they can seat is 10. I was hoping they could accommodate my group of 15. I am sure I will return.

Well, I don't know what changed but this is like a completely different restaurant now for months!…read more Staff attentive and spectacular. The inside appears renovated and they accept large parties! So win for all of that. Food has seen a definite upgrade too. Cheese curds and literally anything else we've ordered has been fantastic. I'm glad to see a local business doing better and we are visiting them more often. Kudos to all the upgrades!

Kind people work here!…read more It gets packed but our wait which was told to be 20 mins took only 10. The food is delicious. We had their fish and chips and shepherds pie. Kiddo has chicken tenders. The green beans with the fish are magic. It's so light and flaky and their tartar is so good. Go here. We can't wait til their Holly springs location opens since it's 15 mins closer to us!

O'Malley's is a classic neighborhood Irish Pub in the heart of Raleigh…read more Atmosphere is dark, intimate, and immediately comfortable. Service is friendly and attentive, the menu is extensive...from handhelds to appetizers to Irish classics like Shepherds Pie and Fish n' Chips. The two times I've been here there was a guitarist playing live music, if you're into the kind of thing. Hard to go wrong with a place like O'Malley's. If you're in the area and looking for a good meal or a comfortable watering hole, give them a try!

We were staying at the best western near by and looking for a quick dinner we could walk to, SO…read moreGLAD we found o'malleys! We got the sampler with cappies, fried pickles, poppers and mac bites, that was amazing, I don't know what the mustard sauce on the plate was but you'll want to eat it on everything! For dinner we got the Rueben (menu said "Raleigh's finest", and they would be CORRECT!) and the St. Patrick with smashed potatoes, everything was amazing! We also got a couple of Guinness and black window ciders, the bill was significantly cheaper than we thought it'd be. Our server was nice and attentive, the atmosphere was comfortable, the lighting was dim (like you'd expect in a tavern) and they had live music near the front door, we loved the vibe and almost went again for dinner the next night lol Definitely gonna be stopping by next time we're in Raleigh!

We love the shrimp puppies & pretzel bites appetizers, fish & chips is a must have, while I love the salmon dinner or the beef stew! My husband enjoys the burgers and fries.

He was very helpful and so friendly. Btw, did I mention, this was my first but definitely not my last time here? I started out with a tasty hazy IPA, served cold and frothy as ya do...then I got their Whiskey burger, medium well with sweet tater fries and a big ole pickle. SOOO GOOD yall! Finished it with a Highland Galelic Ale. Even though I live in a town about 15-20 min away, I think I've honestly found my new neighborhood bar. Douherty's yall keep doing your thing. I'll definitely be back soon!

Their food is fresh-made and cooked with care. Done right without rushing. One of the reasons why it takes a little longer to receive the food. But it's worth the wait!! Order appetizer and enjoy! Restaurant environment is awesome! Service is excellent! Food is delicious! Keep in mind, reservation is a must since there's limited tables. Do online reservations or call to see if there's a spot open or cancellation.

The Celtic Fringe is worth the drive. Out in Reidsville, at the edge of its downtown, it's…read morecertainly worth a culinary treat with a little bit of small town exploration. Start the meal off right with some Patatas Bravas. Double-fried potatoes with a tasty salsa and garlic aioli. Those went by quick! It's savory with a hint of spice. For the dinner service entrees, the real winner is the Fish and Chips. It's a huge battered haddock fillet over a bed of fries, accompanied by cabbage slaw and tartar sauce. Don't forget the malt vinegar to pair with the fries! The haddock was done perfectly, as it was both crispy and juicy. It was filling, but not over the top. Quality over quantity for sure. The chicken tikka masala is also a nice touch to the menu. A bit different from the rest, but not overly left of field. It was spiced to be flavorful but not overpowering. The chicken was nice and tender. The herb rice was decent, but still paired well as a sidekick to the tikka masala. Feeling desserts? Leave some space for the tuxedo cake. It's very rich and a solid bite to close out the meal. Shoutout to the wonderful waitress who executed everything without an issue. Reservations are recommended. I'll certainly be back.

I recently visited McCoul's Public House for a meal and had a bit of a mixed experience. The pub…read morehas a classic, very dark interior that definitely sets a specific "old-world" mood, and the two-level layout adds some nice character to the space. Our service was a little hit-or-miss. Our waiter was also managing the bar, which meant we weren't checked on as often as we would have liked. When we ordered, the items weren't read back to us, and unfortunately, the order did come out incorrectly. The drinks definitely a highlight! They were well-made and didn't skim on the alcohol. The meal was perfectly fine, but nothing particularly stood out as spectacular. It's solid pub fare if you're looking for a casual bite. Overall, McCoul's is a decent spot for a strong drink and a cozy, dim atmosphere. I'd love to see a bit more attentiveness on the floor, but it's still a place worth stopping by if you're in downtown Greensboro.

This was our first visit here. I will start by saying the parking situation is atroucious (city…read moreissue not the restaurant) and after driving around for 1/2 hour and almost leaving, I'm glad we didn't. We were seated in the upstairs dining area where the bartender Dana was amazing! She was so friendly & so nice to chat with- great service!

We tried Pat Murnane's last night and we were all pleasantly surprised. It was a Saturday night…read morearound 6:45 PM and we expected the place to be packed, but it wasn't. The bar area (with plenty of tables for dining) was packed and looked cozy, but the main dining area is huge and had only a few tables in use. We questioned our restaurant choice, but decided to keep an open mind and give it a try. We are so glad we did! The food was really good. Nice presentation and clearly, whoever prepared it is truly passionate about their job. The portions are large, so expect leftovers. We ordered a fried shrimp appetizer (similar to bang bang shrimp) and a chicken quesadilla as starters. Each could have been a meal on its own and both were delicious. (It's typical bar food - but done well.) For our main dishes we ordered Shepherds Pie (server's recommendation and favorite menu item ), Northern Fish Fry (cod); and a simple cheeseburger with bacon.. everything was tasty, nicely prepared, and again...large portions. The Shepherds Pie came with fresh steamed veggies that were wonderful and a nice surprise. *Note that cod is the Northern Fish Fry- but they also offer a catfish version. The wine was 50% off both by the glass and bottle, I believe that is their typical Saturday drink special. They have a prime rib special on Saturdays as well that is supposedly delicious, and served only until they run out. There is an 8oz or 12oz option. The server was fantastic as well. She was very attentive, knew the menu, and clearly enjoys her job. What more can you ask for? Prices: Our total bill (before tip) was $127 which included a couple drinks from the bar for each of us. The dinners we ate ranged from $16-$20. The starters were a bit pricey (~$18 for the quesadillas) but again, it was meal size and truly delicious. If you are hungry for a burger or typical Irish bar food, then give this place a try. Hopefully you'll have an experience similar to ours! (Our server was home from college for the holidays, so hopefully the rest of the staff is equally attentive.)

The food was great. I was a bit disappointed with the service. We came in on a Friday night about…read more6:45. It wasn't very busy only a few tables occupied. It took almost an hour to get our entrees. I will still give it another try because the food was good.

McKinley's is a Clayton anchor! Tucked into the heart of town, this old-school sports bar feels…read morelike it's been here forever--in the best way possible. Every wall is lined with TVs playing whatever game matters most that night, while dollar bills cover the walls like a scrapbook of good times, tall tales, and nights that ran a little longer than planned. The décor nods proudly (and somewhat creatively) to Irish heritage, with touches of green, classic signs, and a love of good beer doing most of the storytelling. It's a place where locals gather, strangers become regulars fast, and the atmosphere is equal parts loud cheers, friendly debate, and comfortable familiarity. Unpolished, well-worn, and full of character, it's the kind of small-town sports bar where the drinks are cold, the TVs are always on, and everyone feels right at home. The menu leans into its claims of Irish roots with a lineup of familiar pub classics--hearty, comforting dishes that feel right at home alongside a pint. But as solid as those classics may be, the real standout is the good old pub burger. Cooked exactly the way you ask for it--perfectly rare, juicy, and full of flavor--it's the kind of burger that reminds you why simplicity done right always wins. Served up hot and fresh by a friendly face that treats you like a regular, it's not just a meal, it's part of the experience: honest food, genuine hospitality, and a plate that keeps people coming back. Cheers!

So I love Mckinley's, especially the wings. I was asked by wife what unwanted to eat for dinner and…read moreI was in the mood for wings. So there we went. I normally do not like leaving bad reviews and very rarelyeave such a low score especially.on a place I like normally. We were seated right away which was nice since there were busy. It was at least 5 minutes before our waitress came and asked us for our drink orders, maybe longer. She seemed to be having a bad night, very unfriendly no smile, was very avious she was not happy. She brought us our drinks and asked of we were ready. They had the boneless wing speacial so wife and daughter got those and I got 12 Jumbo hot wings. They also ordered salads and I ordered loaded potato skins for an appetizer. It seemed to take forever, which I was understanding since there were busy. Eventually the salads came. Wait the ranch dressing for the wings came out 1st. As they ate thier salads I wondered if maybe she didn't get my order for the potato skins.... Eventually she bought 2 orders of wings.my daughters 12 and a big plate of wings. She was like yea the kitchen is crazy this is what they sent. It was a whole bugbplatebof boneless wings. She then brought my jumbo wings. I asked her did you not get my potato skins order... she non-shalontly said yea I got them, im waiting on them and she said something abiutbtheres a new guy training and blames them. We'll no because potato skins were way over cooked the top was dark and the inside were dark as well. My wife tried one and my daughter wouldn't even touch them. The boneless wings were so dry and over cooked. My wings looked ok but they were also hit wings so the were drenched in buffalo sauce as they should be. They ok a little over cooked but we're ok. The Boneless wings were over cooked and dry. The atmosphere was typical of a trivia night which was good. The waitress was horrible no personality almost an attitude even though I tried being nice. No thank you.no have a good night, nothing. I understand people have bad days but if your in the business you just cant be this way. I love this place except for the bathroooms.. which I wish they would update thier bathrooms. I hope maybe if they read this review they can adjust. Yes we got sone extra wings for whatever reason but they were still sry and overcooked.
