Nice place, quick food.

The burgers were great and the service was awesome too!. I would highly recommend this place. We all especially liked the fries. I didn't catch our server's name but I heard him mention to the next table that he was from Florida originally. Great service!.

Tried to get take out ($175.00 order) they turned off service cause they were slammed, completely acceptable. Drove to restaraunt to place orderTotal of 8 people in restaraunt. Still unable to even take order or give time frame for food to be ready. Refused to take order until all orders in restaraunt where taken. Cook came out of kitchen looked like he just took a shower with his clothes on, after seeing that wouldn't eat there anyway. Just because your irish and own a bar doesn't make it an Irish pub.

Come for the burgers stay for the trivia. Place was packed for dinner and trivia. Its a small layout but everyone in there was comfortable at their tables. Both ladies that were servicing everyone's food and drink orders were great. The beers and margs were cold. Burgers were cooked perfectly (although my medium rare jalapeno heat burger was a little under seasoned the taste and texture was great just wanted more heat), the fish and chips are a shareable size and tasty, hot wings and old bay wings were spot on. The trivia host Justin did an outstanding job. Congrats Team Smarteeny on the win.

Great Irish themed restaurant. The burgers and Garlic Parm fries were amazing!

Went here with my dad and my uncle and his kids. I had a lovely time! I got the all-American burger, my dad got their jalapeño burger, and loved it SO MUCH! that he got a SECOND burger! he loves loves loves sweet potato fries, and the fact they came with maple syrup was a plus for him! we got the cheese cake, which I was supposed to share, but I devoured it before he could have sum. It was a lovely time, and our waitress was the sweetest. im not from NC, but if we come back here, I definitely want to eat here again it was 100% worth every cent. I love the fact they overcooked by burger when I asked, and it wasn't pink at all. The fries were so big and delicious, and the food was super hot and perfect for my dad. 10/10 I love it, and im definitely come back if I can!

They were out of Grouper so half their menu was gone. That was one reason we went. Their online menu had a good selection of Grouper meals.
I then ordered a Mojito but they were out of mint.......
The manager/server/bartender was not very friendly.
We ended up with burgers which were good.

The best burger I’ve ever had!
Semi long wait. But the patties are made to order! Extremely fresh and massive proportions. The fries are homemade and the fry sauce I could drink! 🤤

I just dined at your establishment and ordered two baskets of wings with different sauces. Unfortunately, when they arrived, they were visibly undercooked, posing a potential foodborne illness risk as outlined by the FDA Food Code and USDA poultry safety guidelines. Upon returning the wings, they were brought back to our table overcooked and burnt. When we inquired about the process, the waitress informed us that instead of preparing a fresh batch—which would have taken an additional 25 minutes—the kitchen re-fried the original undercooked wings. According to food safety regulations, partially cooked poultry should never be reheated in this manner, as it does not ensure proper internal temperatures or eliminate bacteria like Salmonella and Campylobacter, which are common in improperly handled poultry. While we appreciate the offer to remove the charge for the wings, the handling of this situation raises serious food safety concerns. USDA and FDA guidelines state that: • Chicken must be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure safety. • Re-frying previously undercooked poultry does not effectively eliminate harmful bacteria and can, instead, increase health risks. • Proper food handling procedures should be followed to protect customers from potential illness. We wanted to bring this matter to your attention in the hopes that additional training and oversight can be implemented in your kitchen to prevent future health risks for other diners. We value local businesses and would love to continue supporting yours, but ensuring food safety is a top priority.

I hate to say it, because we were so looking forward to this place. The fried pickles were the only thing we enjoyed. The bang bang shrimp tasted like the frozen ones that come with the sauce at the grocery store. I could be wrong, but this is just how they tasted to me. As for the “bangers and mash”, I honestly think it was NOT good. I am not sure if it was authentic or not, but it was definitely not fresh. I would not recommend that dish nor would I return sadly. I was so excited for Irish food as I’ve always enjoyed it in the past. The floor is also very sticky.

The only positives were the fried pickles and the kind waitress.

We have been there in the past and it was wonderful. This is the third time we have eaten there and it will be a while before we come back!
