“Angus beef burger ~18 with the added mushroom and cheese was fire. 5/5

For a random house on campus it’s actually so good, If you’re friends with grads make them pay 😙

Comes with a side of chips or small salad. Wish there were fries but still so worth.

Peach lager thing was also good too.

Pesto sandwich 3.5/5“

“The staff here is SO kind and generous. Frequent check-ins to ensure everything is good. I got the cajun salmon here, and I found the portion to be quite small for the price. Otherwise I must say, for someone that does not like fries, their waffle fries are amazing!“

“Good food, good location on main street. Parking is at a distance from the restaurant. Nice atmosphere inside with limited outdoor seating. Arrived just after a large group left the restaurant. Unfortunately that lead to service delays on our order, service and bill receipt on this visit. The why that was never really explained other than the large group just left“

“Visited Molly Bloom’s Irish Pub and had a genuinely memorable experience. The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, with a comfortable, casual pub feel that makes it easy to settle in. What stood out most was the service—our waiter was exceptionally kind, attentive, and genuinely caring without ever being intrusive. It made the whole visit feel welcoming and relaxed.

I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich, a simple dish that can easily be overlooked, but here it was executed beautifully. The bread was perfectly toasted, with a satisfying crunch, and the cheese was melted to a rich, creamy consistency. It’s impressive how a humble menu item can be elevated with such attention to detail.

Overall, this was a reminder that great dining experiences don’t always require complexity. Thoughtful service and careful preparation of even simple food can leave a lasting impression. I would happily return and recommend it to others without hesitation.“
