Check your bartender on Sunday night on February 25. We made our way over and was there at 8:22, your bartender turned us away and said the kitchen was already closed (even though it doesn’t close until 9 on Sundays) and refused to seat us. Not a great way to treat customers who used to love this place. Never again. Get it together Burke’s!

Don’t order fish and chips. Fish was incinerated.

Burke's is a great place to go if you want to watch a game with friends or have a drink together and catch up. Although it took about 10 minutes to get a table, it was a busy evening for a Friday night. Which I don't mind necessarily, everyone was having a good time it seemed. I didn't see many people ordering food, but my partner and I greatly enjoyed our meals. I got the Chipotle Chicken Wrap and he got the Burke and Bacon Burger. Waffle fries are an instant hit, and the garlic sauce they provide on the side is great for anything. I ordered a Maplewood Son of Juice and he got a Moscow mule. The mule could've had fresh ginger beer, but no complaints otherwise. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area!

I always have a great experience at Burkes. It's a traditional bar with that neighborhood feel that's very clean and even feels renovated. The staff treat us like human beings and we even get a complimentary shot every so often.

Local, neighborhood place, friendly. Food is average for bar food, service is typical for a laid back bar. Spring/Summer/Fall good outdoor space.

Friday night fish and chips at Burke's is a monthly ritual for us. We love the dark, cozy pub vibes and super friendly staff. Also, I always notice how spotlessly clean this place is! The fish fry portions are generous and it always arrives piping hot. This is a pub that knows what it is, does it well, and is super professional. What's not to love?

I’ve frequented Burke’s for the past 5 or so years. Unfortunately, I can’t justify coming back anymore.My final experience here was Wednesday last week. It took about 10 minutes to get acknowledged of my existence after sitting down. Wasn’t full - wasn’t busy. Average evening.The guy behind the bar was GREAT. Dude was doing all he could and can tell he takes on more work than he should. The one other server on the floor straight up ignored me the whole time, but she had time to talk to EVERY other table. Not a single word to me. It’s a shame because I wanted to compliment her on her cool floral Vans shoes. Way to make me feel unwelcome.The food was a bit of a wait and when it did arrive, half of the bacon on my bacon cheeseburger was borderline charcoal. The burger and toppings were fresh, so it wasn’t a total loss, but c’mon…If I wanted charcoal in my mouth I’d brush my teeth with charcoal toothpaste.If you’re looking for a local pub with cheap drinks and slightly pricey bar bites, look no further.

I had my 60th birthday party at Burke's. It was awesome! We had the party room and it worked great. We NEVER had to ask for food to be brought out as they kept up with it all and replenished as needed. We had a dedicated bartender who was great. The staff were constantly clearing plates and glasses through our 3 hours there. Such a great place and such great staff!

This is an amazing corner pub. I brought a friend who was visiting from out of town. Neither of us had been there, and we were both impressed with the atmosphere, the quality of the food, the friendliness of the workers, and the overall vibe. My friend had decided that anytime he comes to visit, this is going to be the one place he will always need to come to for a meal and beer.

This was the Spinach Artichoke Dip that is $11. Now I believe it was Brandon but he was nice to reimburse the item. Brandon stated that the dip is pre packaged so if you ordering to go please check your items before leaving.

Great place to watch a football game on a Sunday afternoon. The spicy Bloody Mary's are amazing and I was super excited to find a place that has nachos with vegetarian chili!!
