Moody's Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Cavan-Monaghan

Been here a few times and the food is good, the building is quaint and cheesecakes are good too. A few reasons why I've taken away the stars that I did: no refill on pop they only serve can pop, no kids menu and not very kid friendly (most tables too high for kids). I would say they are pretty expensive, comparable to the prices of the Keg but lower quality than the Keg, they can charge what they want as they are the only restaurant in town. The other day I went with my husband and 2 children (1 is a young baby), most tables were occupied. The lady offered us the table right by the door (it's end of January and cold out). We asked if we could have the table next to it, it's farther from the door and she puffed off because that meant she had to clean the table. She proceeded to go to another table and have them pay the bill then went to clean and tell us we could sit. It was another 10 minutes before she came back for drink order and food order. My husband ordered 2 plates of the wing special (1/2 pound for $6) he asked if he could have Cajun with BBQ sauce, she said it would be an additional charge for 2 sauces, we commented that we had just been there a few days earlier with no additional charge, she said that we should have been charged then. He tried to explain that it's 2 orders of wings with 2 orders of sauce, but she cut him off and said no, commented she doesn't have to serve us if we are going to be rude about it, yet we only commented about our experience from a few days prior. So he said just honey garlic and commented if he split the order between sauces it would likely be another charge, she commented well you don't have to be rude, he wasn't, we just don't want to be charged 17x the price for a tablespoon of seasoning. I'm not sure who this server thinks she is but she's lost some more patrons. I will be selling my gift card or asking for a refund as they clearly don't want service. (Side note, when we were there the few days earlier with a group, we all ordered wings, we asked if some could have flat wing and the others could have the legs but that was going to be an additional $2... Your cooking all the wings as it is, what's so hard about taking 10 seconds to sort out when the restaurant is not busy... They just enjoy...

Great start - Bizarre finish On Oct 7 my wife and I decided to have an early dinner at Moody’s. My wife had been there in the summer and liked it. The dining room was full, good sign, so we took a table on the patio. The dinner special was Meat Loaf. Perfect for an early autumn. Dinner arrived, Veggies cooked perfectly with a crisp still in them, the mashed potatoes were pleasantly unique and full of flavour and the meat loaf blended in nicely. So far 4.5 stars out of 5. Then the event has a bizarre turn. My wife takes a fork of mash potatoes and finds a hair. Ok, that happens sometimes and I continue with my plate while my wife lost her appetite. The waitress arrives and my wife points out the meal was great, however and she displays the fork with the mash potato and hair. “oh” the waitress reacts. “Would you like to box the leftovers then”….”mmmmn no thanks.” At this point I’ve cleaned off my plate and the waitress cleans off the table. Time rolls by while we’re finishing our drinks and thinking of ordering another beer. Waiting a while the waitress returns with the fork, the piece of mash potato and the hair sticking out of it. The waitress points out, “Well we had a look at it, and if it makes you feel better, it’s not a human hair”. No,,,, that makes us feel worse. It became more entertaining as we wondered what creature runs the kitchen. We waited… and didn’t get the chance to order another beer so, we went inside to pay the bill. No apology, full tab on the bill. So, I gave them a good tip for the evening’s entertainment.

Beware if the chef’s name...

My husband and I went there Thursday July 24 just after 3 pm. The food was absolutely horrible. I ordered the brisket on a brioche bun with a side of onion rings. The beef was so tough that entire chunks of meat got pulled out with each attempt at a bite. The bun was incredibly soggy and I ended up removing most of the meat from the bun and tried cutting it up and eating it like you would roast beef. I abandoned that idea as well after a few bites. The onion rings are so over cooked they are rock hard and greasy. The waitress came over once and asked if everything was okay at which point I said no the food is awful. She asked if she could get me something else but there’s no way I’m ever going to try any food from that place again. My husband got the pulled pork and fries. The pulled pork is bland and a disgusting mess and the fries are worse than shoestring oven fries and were also dry and hard as a rock. I didn’t even eat half my meal. I got up and walked out. My husband paid the bill and we left....
