My friend and I ate here on Saturday 16th. They were serving St. Patrick Day food so I was excited. Food definitely wasn’t up to expectations. I had been to Ireland last February so I looking forward to eating. My friend had the Irish beef stew. It was a soup instead of a stew. I had the corned beef and cabbage. Absolutely no flavor, totally disappointed especially for the price we paid. The waitress hadn’t brought us silverware so we had to get up and ask for it. She never came back to check on us until after we were almost done eating. We were sitting on the patio outside so maybe she just forgot about us. I don’t think I’d go back here unfortunately.

The calamari tacos were huge, delicious, loved the jalapeños!!!I had the burger with cheese. I like that they had sautéed onions and raw onions, lots of good green lettuce. Salad was really good, i would just ask for the dressing on the side because i prefer less, but my husband loves his salad fully drenched., so for him it's perfect.Onion rings were good too.

The food and service are great! We love bringing family and friends here when they visit and everybody we take enjoys their food and the atmosphere. I also appreciate that the restaurant is spacious and has a nice outdoor seating area.

Wow, I can't say enough good things about the food, and I've only had it once. I had my hubby bring home buffalo wings and a side Caesar salad since he was having lunch with friends. Usually, to-go food arrives not so fresh, and wings can be kinda soggy but not these! The salad was super fresh and delicious with the dressing on the side. The wings were crispy and very tasty, with both Buffalo sauce and ranch dressing on the side. I can't wait to come back in person next time and try other things on the menu.

When we walked in everyone was very friendly and welcoming. It was very clean and the Gilroy Garlic Burger was amazing. Would recommended Pop's to everyone. Jamie

The service was very slow. Granted it was busy but a server walked past us several times without greeting us or even talking to us. Finally the bar tender came to take our order. The Bloody Mary was awful and they made it again but still wasn't good but at least we weren't charged for it. Fish and chips breading was thick and not good. Coleslaw is horrible tasting, maybe someone likes it like that and it ruined the Ruben which they make with sourdough instead of the preferred and usual rye bread and it didn't do the sandwich any favors. Soup was good, fries were good but that's it.

I love going to Pop's with my family. Today I had the tropical chicken taco which was soooooo good! This is my favorite place to go in Gilroy.

I loved this place, food is great and drinks are even better. I brought my family and friends often. However, every time I come here alone and sit at the bar I am ignored and left with one drink for over an hour. Bartender serves me and then leaves, while the other bartender ignores me and helps everyone else at the bar. I usually shrug it off. This last time I came in I sat at the bar and got a drink immediately. That was it, never saw her again. Watched several people come and go for the next hour and forty five minutes. 3 bartenders and not one acknowledged me. Finally one asked if I wanted anything, I asked for the check and they couldn't even find me in the system! I told her that I had been there for quite some time did none of you see me? She responded "oh thought someone closed you out, you're not in the system so you can just leave" I don't care about a free drink.. just wanted to have a couple drinks after a long day at work. Will not be coming back and will stop recommending.

Great food! Haven't found anything on the menus that wasn't great, and the employees are great too!

I am visiting for a couple weeks and this is my second time at Pop's. Both times my meals were fantastic. This has to be one of the best places to eat in Gilroy! Our waiters have consistently wonderful. Tonight we had Caden. A++! I will be back!

Great atmosphere our waiter was very informative the drinks he recommended were on point. I had a Paloma and the wings were really good. I would definitely recommend this place.

We went to this place for lunch the other day and it was incredible. We all had different burgers and fries but they were all absolutely delicious. The spicy burger and the whiskey burger really stood out. I will definitely be returning for another burger soon!
