McNally's Irish Pub — Restaurant in Springdale Township

We should’ve taken the empty dining room as our first warning sign.

On the positive side, the waitress was attentive and kind, and the place itself was clean. Unfortunately, the food and value did not match the service.

I ordered a specialty burger without the bun. What came out first was just a plain burger with the standard sides—lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion—and the side dish I had chosen. No specialty toppings at all. I sent it back, and when it returned, they had added the toppings but removed all the usual sides. When I asked about it, the waitress said she didn’t know what it was supposed to come with. At that point, I just ate my meal so I wouldn’t feel like more of a problem.

The burger itself was dry and had a strong burnt flavor—not from being overcooked, but from what tasted like a dirty grill that hadn’t been cleaned. I couldn’t even finish it.

The final bill was just under $100 for two people and two simple drinks (no specialty cocktails). For the quality of food we received, that price is simply...

The reimagined McNally’s is as nice physically as the old. We sat on the patio, which has always been a great spot in nice weather. The wait person did a very good job with service, and was working extremely hard during a peak and crowded time. My steak was tender with a good flavor. All pluses. On the negative side, someone was surreptitiously smoking a cigarette near us, which was not only illegal and rude, but very obvious. The staff did nothing. Several tables around us were angry about the smell as she used a tree for an ashtray. Also bad, my wife ordered a Cobb salad with grilled chicken. The chicken was dark and very fatty. The server had no idea what it was, and after asking the kitchen, it turned out to be thigh meat and not breast. While chicken thighs have become popular for some dishes, it was rather disgusting on a salad. We have never seen a dish with thighs where the menu did not actually state that fact. So, overall good, but definitely needs some work to...

We arrived not knowing if we seat ourselves. We sat ourselves and removed a chair, for wheelchair access, not knowing where to put it. Curious as to why the place had so few people on a Sunday at supper time, I eventually realized why. My cocktail was watered down. I could hardly taste the monkey 47 gin. The deviled eggs were tiny but the filling was good. We were charged eight bucks for three eggs when the menu said seven. We didn't say anything about it. My reuben was what appeared to be a lunch portion. I left wanting something more, but from somewhere else. The steak tips were cooked properly but from a very tough cut of meat. The server was alright, wouldn't have minded faster table service but it appeared she was the only server. FYI, throwing dried paprika and chives on everything doesn't make a...
