Food was decent, but the service was very bad. Took a long time for the waitress to take our order. Took a long time to get our food. Soups came out with the main dish. Waitress never came around to check on us. Never asked to refill our drinks. Kids meals never got their dessert. When we realized the kids never got theirs, we were already ready to go as it took so long to get our food in the first place. Then we find out there is a 20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more. We had 4 adults and 2 kids. When we found out about the gratuity, it all made sense. Waitress got a guaranteed 20% tip. Why would she care if we got good service or not...Food was decent and there are not a ton of places where you can get corned beef. But service was bad enough I don’t think we will go back.

I visited Peggy Kinnane's at the recommendation of someone I struck up a conversation with while waiting in line a few weeks back. I was told if I wanted really good food to celebrate St Patrick's Day that I should go to Peggy Kinnane's-and I was told correct! Even though I didn't quite make it for St. Patrick's Day, I did find the food absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the service is great! I definitely recommend checking out Peggy Kinnane's!

Fish and chips not very good. Breading was chewy. Burgers were over cooked.

I have been here twice now and have really liked the place both times. Going back for a third time today. Every time we have gone, everyone has really liked the food and drinks. I would say the items that stand out as being liked the most are the Rueben Egg Rolls, Fish and Chips, Mashed Potato Balls, and the Guinness Sliders. The atmosphere is very authentic Ireland. They have an extensive beer and whiskey selection as well. Highly recommend.

So this evening was my first and last visit. It began with my ordering scotch and the bartender asked if I wanted a single or double. When I asked how much it cost, his answer was a double cost twice as much as a single. What a jerk. Next came my dinner order of corned beef and cabbage. I truly don’t think it’s homemade at all. The corned beef was like packaged beef and totally dried out. The cabbage wasn’t made with the corned beef I’m sure and therefore just tasted like lightly steamed flavorless cabbage. The entire plate was brought to me room temperature and I ate only the vegetables and potatoes, throwing out the rest. The place is also extremely overpriced and as a retired restaurant owner, I’d advise the manager to try reviewing the place as a paying costumer. Seriously not a nice experience at all.

Service was absolutely horrible and the food was absolutely disgusting....Ordered the reuben sandwich, totally disgusting....meat very dry, no flavor....no sauce or sauerkraut on it, bread was not toasted and hard, fries were drenched in oil, just a total waste of $17.00.Will not be back!!!!!

Our waiter Robbie was wonderful. Very attentive and very congenial. The atmosphere is great except they place this in the very back even though we had reservations. Next time would rather sit up front where the bar and all the action is. As far as the food, my corned beef was rather dry and the cabbage was undercooked. Had to use a steak knife to cut it. A very nice woman named Colleen was passing out little pieces of soda bread. Our party bought two Loaves on the way out. Overall we had a great time but two of us who had the corned beef and cabbage were a bit disappointed.

I enjoyed the atmosphere and we were served well. The food came fast. My wife's burger was great. My salmon was a little under cooked. Dessert was delicious. I would go there again.
