Our family of 5 tried Houlihans for the first time this past weekend! My husband works in cranberry and we went up to look around and picked Houlihans for lunch! It was the perfect lunch and kept us feeling full all day!We had the firecracker shrimp as an appetizer and we went with the full meal selection for $23, this gave you a starter, a meal and a dessert (completely worth the price)!! We had the Sedona shrimp pasta, it was lovely and I had the brownie batter cake dessert, it really hit the spot! Also the staff was super friendly and personable. We have twins and a toddler so it was already chaotic enough, but they made it feel like home!Highly recommend stopping by!!

Seemed like only one or two servers were working at peak dinner hours. So, it look a long time to get things going. Overall, not bad. Just a kind of average chain restaurant experience.

Attended with a large group. Nice atmosphere, wasn’t busy at all. Tried a bunch of different appetizers, all of which were really good (Crunchy Spicy Cauliflower, Firecracker Shrimp, Char-Crusted Ahi Tuna, Calamari, Chicken Avocado Eggrolls and Fancy Fried Cheese). For the main course I got the Stuffed Chicken Breast with Garlic-herb cream cheese, honest gold mashers and green beans. The chicken and the potatoes were slightly dry but delicious otherwise. I’d definitely go back to try other items on the menu.

I have always like Houlihan's. We were seated when we arrived. The service was really good and the prices reasonable. The only thing I personally didn't like was that the restaurant was too cold but the rest of my party was fine.

The food was not as good as it had been in the past. Service and ambience was as expected. Good place for a family to visit. I prefer the Galleria (Mt. Lebanon) location over the Cranberry location.

I showed up for the shrooms!? they were delicious stuffed with herbs and cream cheese. Definitely try the “She sells sea shells” drink. It’s a luscious tropical beverage. And the pesto salmon was amazing over spaghetti squash noodles was an excellent pairing. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Izayah was my waiter he was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered all my questions. The meal was reasonably priced. I will definitely visit here again while I’m in the area.

The restaurant was understaffed during our recent Monday night visit, and as a result, we felt like the service was terrible.Restaurants love to hide behind the "staffing shortage" excuse, but all a "staffing shortage" means is that the restaurant is too cheap to pay wages to attract a sufficient number of candidates.Anywho. Our server (a brunette with a bun) was so over-swamped that she gave us absolutely no service. She never once asked how our appetizers were, she never asked if we were enjoying our entrees, she never asked if our drinks needed refills, and we had to remind her to bring our desserts. To be fair, she was swamped, running all over the place. But we come to a nice-ish restaurant for good service, not to have to interact with a server that barely gives us the time of day.The manager, someone who should be roaming the dining room ensuring a positive guest experience, instead was a full-time food runner.I have no interest in paying to dine at a restaurant that is not sufficiently staffed.I hope that the restaurant owners will stop being cheapskates and instead offer wages to ensure that the restaurant is properly staffed.
The food was fantastic. We really enjoyed our meal. I had the Kansas City strip. It melted in my mouth. Amanda our server was amazing. Highly Recommend.

The fish and chips shown in the photos is nothing like the garbage we were served. It looked more like snake and tasted even worse. Fries were stale. Mac and cheese was mushy. The service however, was above and beyond. They shouldn't worry about hiring, the place was empty at 6 PM Saturday eve. First and last visit.

So we had a big table last night. Started at the bar where our barmaid was super. Moved to our table once again our server was terrific. The issue I had was all of the food was just mediocre. No one said they liked their food. Everyone was like its "ok" the egg rolls were just "mush" inside. The Tortilla soup was lacking. The fettuccine side dish I had was very lacking. There are lots of choices in Cranberry Twp. I doubt I would return.

We go to Houlihan's often as we typically love their food and great service. I wanted fish & chips but I hate the coleslaw that it comes with so I wanted to substitute for another side. Nope, no substitution as it is a "garnish" although I have never seen that large a portion as a garnish. I did not want a meal without a side and was not about to pay $5 more for a side as the waitress suggested. So I ordered fried shrimp which came with fries and green beans. My fried shrimp was beyond disappointing. It was almost burned and tasted bad. It looked like it had been put into the fryer and forgotten. I did not want to wait for it to be cooked again as my husband's food would have been cold. I will never order this again. Beware! Very disappointed on this visit.

The food was very delicious!! The person who showed us to our table acted like we were un-welcome. When she became our waitress, she was nice so she could get a better tip. Not a very nice young lady.
