The food tasted great but since my last trip here it seems they changed the style of burger buns they use which are thick and stiff and hard to bit into when eating a big thick burger . No sure if there's been change in management since I was there in July but I would recommend going back to the old style buns they had before. Otherwise the Irish car bomb burger was great and the sweet potato fries are amazing and they give you plenty of them. Restaurant was clean and neat.

Needed more Jameson sauce but the burger was perfectly cooked! 9 year old approved of the kids burger! Cheese with the pretzels was super thick and not very tasty, but I think that was a fluke. We will be back.

We tried the Irish Car Bomb burger, the Breakfast Burger, the Whiskey Burger, the Mojito Lime Chicken sandwich, and the fish and chips. Everything was delicious, but the fish and chips were my favorite. It was also fun to have live entertainment. There was some standup comedy, guitarist, and a little bit of karaoke. Everyone in our group had a great time and a wonderful experience! Jennifer was our waitress and went above and beyond to make our visit memorable.
