Went in there with a pretty good size group of people about 20 of us and we all ordered separately. My food came out and it was OK. Somebody I was with ordered food sat there for over an hour and when he went up to the bar to ask where his food was. They said oh we ran out of it, but they never told him he sat there for over an hour waiting for his food. Everyone else was served. The reviews are TRUE this place sucks.

Ok bartender was our waitress said kitchen didn't prep a bunch of food. No corned beef and no fish n chips. No ketchup bottle. Given packets for dine in.No hard cider but I did get a well poured Half n Half. Lights were flickering and that drove us nutz. Over all average nothing special.

This used to be my local go to place but our last couple of visits have changed my mind. The only good thing here is the servers. Too bad they never get to serve anything but drinks. Always out of what you want to eat and if they do have it plan for a long wait to get it. Not planning to go back anytime soon.

When we first moved to Walden, sweeneys was our first local spot that we checked out. The owners were lovely, and wonderfully welcoming atmosphere, and great bar food. Since the ownership has changed, I can’t say our experience has stayed the same. The last few times we have visited, the food has been extremely slow, missing dishes or cold. The last time we visited with our 3 year old, we arrived to the boss explaining that the cook wasn’t there for another 10 minutes, so we waited to give our order for a bit. Totally fine, but after we gave our order to the “boss” around 4:30, we didn’t see any food until about 5:30, and it was a Luke warm grilled cheese and fries and only one dish of the three we ordered. And then we were Told that a turkey wrap we ordered was instead made with ham, since they were out of turkey, and the boss had to go to the store to get more. Additionally they were out of lettuce for a salad which they also had to go get. Luckily, our toddler got her food, and she doesn’t care about it being hot. So we waited another 10 mins for the ham wrap. And then finally around 5:45 I got my salad when we reminded the waitress about another sandwich we were waiting for. Turns out the order for that was never put in by the boss, and we didn’t see that until 6:15. After that we had to leave and overheard other customers returning cold food and canceling orders as well.
The waitress was lovely and really Apologetic about everything, so I don’t fault her at all. I think she was thrown into a poorly planned situation, and left to fend for herself with the boss’s mistakes while we observed him having a drink at the bar with friends. I wish I could say this was an isolated incident, but we have had multiple similar experiences lately, along with friends reporting the same. I loved sweeneys, but don’t think I’ll be going back any time soon.

Extremely disappointing experience.
We arrived at the restaurant at 5:30 PM for dinner and ordered a hamburger, chicken wings, and a chicken sandwich. About 20 minutes later, we were told there were no chicken wings, even though the table right next to us had just received theirs. Then, 45 minutes after ordering, we were informed that there were no hamburgers.
The staff said there was nothing they could do because they couldn’t reach the owner. No alternatives, no compensation, not even an apology beyond the basic explanation.
It is completely unacceptable for an Irish pub to be out of both wings and burgers on a Friday night at 5:30 PM. I’ve never experienced anything like this in a dining establishment. Seriously baffled 😳

What is an Irish Pub without Irish Beer?! They were out of their three Irish beers and several food items. This was quite unusual, especially for a Saturday evening with a half full restaurant. The others in our party liked their food, but my smash burger was not smashed. It was two normal patties with hardly any sauce. Our server was the bright spot.

The food was good, brought my family with me and had a good time. The atmosphere was good, lots of seats available.
Cozy atmosphere with a definite pub feel. The music got a little loud for easy conversation, and the rock anthems took away any elegance. But maybe that's why some people like them.
Food was very good. Huge fish filets and ample portions of large-cut fries. Service was friendly, but it took quite a while until we got to order, quite a while before being served, one of us was served 5-10 minutes after the rest us (with apologies and no charge), and drinks weren't refilled.

This is, for my wife and I, one of the better, more reliable places to go for food and a beer. A lot restaurants nowadays have become hit or miss with their entrees/food being sometimes good, sometimes not so good. Sweeneys is always consistent with their flavors. The lines for the taps are always clean and the Guiness is always poured the correct way. On top of all of that, their prices are very reasonable, and they haven't been following suit with other eateries raising prices because we have a lot of visitors coming up from that city south of us. This is one of a few local establishments left in our area that haven't forgotten about us locals. And we appreciate that.
