We stopped at Irish Kevin's with some friends for some food and a few drinks after an outing. This was a Thursday night and the establishment was not very busy.
On this visit we sat at a booth but were asked to come up to the bar to order our food and drinks. Not a big deal as our party was fairly big and there would have been a lot of split checks. On this visit we were looking for simple food and appetizers were half price, so we ordered the chicken tenders app with the thick cut fried potato chips and honey mustard dressing, a side of Mac and cheese, and ordered a round of drinks (side bar: Jack and Cokes are served in a tall draft beer glass here, which is a super positive for me).
The food took some time to get to us considering it wasn't busy , but it arrived hot. VERY hot. The chicken tenders tasted good, but I was a bit disappointed in the rest. The thick cut fried potato chips were okay but were salted heavily. The honey mustard dressing skewed quite a bit to the mustard side of the spectrum while I prefer my honey mustard the opposite. The Mac and cheese was probably the most disappointing, being very plain and having no real flavor. As far as bar food is concerned, I put the quality of the food at par.
Now, keep in mind we did not touch any of the Irish food that Irish Kevin's has on the menu! The bangers and mash, for example, sounded great but we just weren't feeling it on this visit. There are plenty of other reviews that rave about the Irish food and I would have no problem giving Irish Kevin's another shot to see how they do with a proper Irish course.
Overall, our visit to Irish Kevin's was positive. We were able to get dinner on the cheap and while there were some disappointing aspects to the food it wouldn't keep me from coming back to try the...
Read moreOverall, low quality food & high prices. The wings are reasonably well served.
The menu isnt accurate, the beers will change but not be updated. The wings are stated to be served by the pound- but they arent, they are sold in counts of 9. So you are still paying for a pound, but you only get 9.
Dont eat here unless you are getting fried food. The fried foods are (sadly) the freshest food here. The chicken wings and fried fish are surprisingly good, the most redeeming qualities of this bar. But other items, such as shepherds pie, reuben & burgers are made out of frozen foods that taste exactly like they were thawed & then microwaved.
A meal for 3, along with a single beer for each, after tip & tax, will run you about 75 damn dollars. For that much, take yourself to a better place.
The water tastes terrible, their water tap is dirty. The manager knows, he will agree the water tastes terrible if you bring it up. But even with him knowing, it still tastes foul.
I would only ever go back only to...
Read moreIn town for a week. Wanted a bar to watch the NBA FINALS. Found this place near the hotel, on Gmaps. Large Grungy neighborhood bar. About a dozen tables & nice long bar. Stage area for bands (none tonight). Must not be a sports bar customer base, only 8 people in the bar. One large TV screen. My friend had a pork sandwich & onion rings . He said it was very good. I had Buffalo Chicken dip. "Blue cheese, sour cream, mixed with hot sauce & shreded chicken and large bowl of seasoned chips". All I could taste was salt. No heat, no BC taste, tiny bits of chicken. The waitresses noticed I was not eating and asked if there was something wrong with the food. I nicely told her it was way over seasoned with salt and had no heat. She immediately offered to take it back, no charge. We ordered another round of beers and watched the rest of the game. I would come back on a night they had a band and try that sandwich...
